Obviously not a forum rule reader, otherwise you would not have posted in moderator red which is a no no.
You may think a forum is a "real world" as you see it, but you might check the rules and note that it does say it is a privilege to post here. Part of that responsibility in having this place to post is abiding by the rules which says you can't insult others, post in red, etc. That is the real world.
As for my right to state--again in rules, but it is what WG has stated on stream. I suppose you didn't watch though or you would have known that. You might not like the tone, but it is just the facts. You might not like the facts, might not be able to deal with the facts, but it doesn't change the facts. As far as knowing things to come, I know some--more now than before the update I would say. Besides the public info on the update, I knew a little bit more, but not nearly the extent of the changes. I would say I have another bit of advantage others might not just based upon my work. I am not a supertester btw. If you know a supertester, you should probably thank them as they put in a lot of their time just to make the game better for us all. They do not make decisions but they have their likes and dislikes just as everyone else.
I've seen a lot of the feedback, the more specific it is, obviously the better. Minto Vimto is the Community Liason and is gathering it from the 4 quarters as best as someone who could gather a busted firehose. If there is something very specific, particularly if it has not been mentioned before, you might dm him on the discord. There are bits and pieces that do get lost in a lot of the noise. Such as it seems you are not aware that they have applied some fixes, will be applying more fixes and are trying to make sure the game works for people. I think just about everyone has come out with their own HUD fix btw. You may not have noticed, but the store we have now is the store from WWE, so the ground work was coming in then.
You note the time, money etc that you have spent on the game. I have a different frame of perspective on this. This game is not an investment--it is an expense. It is like a movie or beer or whatever you do for entertainment. You can't really look at it as an investment. The only return you get is the enjoyment in playing. Anything you have spent, time, or whatever is gone. It is a sunk cost you will never get back. The only thing you should consider is the marginal cost going forward, and that is pretty much true for everything in life. If you don't, can't, won't enjoy the game going forward, you absolutely should not torture yourself. You don't engage in an entertainment expense to not have fun. Take some time off, maybe later it will be better, but life is too short. If you can play, and have suggestions, then make suggestions. Like I said Minto on the discord is the most direct. The streams are another. You should also be able to message any ambassador or CC as well. There are quite a few on twitter.
Will everthing be as you or I would want it? Doubtful. But you'll either enjoy it or you won't. You can't always get what you want, but you just might find, you get what you need.
Gallant,
I started this thread (just with the hope that possibly Wargaming would give the community a "Christmas gift", but it has evolved into more of a general discussion about the 6.0 update. Per your comments above, is it best to DM Liam, or post my input in the Action Heroes Season - Feedback Thread in the Game Suggestions section that he started? Obviously a lot of the posts there are folks doing more venting than providing constructive input, so I'm not sure if Liam (or Wargaming) is still reading all the posts there and collating the info. for update consideration (and want to make sure my input and gameplay suggestions are routed to the current/most effective feedback path).
Please advise - thanks.
Tim
