Absolutely correct. Tier 4-5-6 is much more enjoyable. Tier X totally sucks. Running your tier 7-8 tanks is futile because you’re constantly thrown into 8-9-10 matches.
I had the pleasure of being asked in game to fill in their Wargaming survey. After I berated them for their rubbish RNG, MM and crap gameplay. The game crashed so they didn't have to read my suggestions. As expected. The game would be more fun, IF your skilled crew were actually consistent in their ability. The RNG can make your crew as useless as a noob or better than a Unicum. Depends if the game has decided whether you win or lose. No Skill required. Wargaming... Simplify the game, get rid of the RNG and the Bullsh!t MM. Make it fun like it was 10 years ago.
It was probably two parts. First, more people are playing their new tier 8 premiums, so the match maker has to put together more single tier battles to get all the tier 8s into matches. Second, it seems the matchmaker balances the overpowered tanks by putting them into higher tier matches. With the new premiums only being out a short time, there hasn't been enough time for the statistics to get the matchmaker to start up-matching them.
After the holiday season the gym turnout goes way up too. Then the people injure themselves and go back to watching Netflix and eating Cheetos. Excellent second game.
What I found over Christmas is that the MM produced more same tier or only 2 tiers games - probably because there were more people playing. I loved it, because I've played for years, and on a level playing field I can shine - 65-80% win rate on many days, which is way way above my normal rate that is just biased by shitshows when you're bottom tier and can do FA to stem the tide... [edit, which, now that I've watched the end, is what Claus says :-D ]
Hey Claus - Two good games today with straightforward commentary, so that doesn't leave much for me to comment on. Except ... during that first match, you alluded to the tanks doing a do-si-do (that is a legitimate low-level Square Dance figure) and the wearing of a stray hat, so I'm assuming the allusion was to Western-style Square Dancing. Speaking from long experience, there are eight primary levels of American Western-style Square Dancing, that require a significant time commitment to learning. The first level (Mainstream) is what you may be thinking of, just a step above a public barn dance where anyone may attend. But the top level - Challenge 4 (or just "C4") IS rocket science; imagine a game of WoT, Tier X only, and all the players are driving their 3-marked tanks. It's actually worse than that, but that gives you an idea of the difficulty. Square Dancing (BTW, the higher you go, the less "dancing' is involved and the more "puzzle solving" is involved) is excellent for meeting people, doesn't involve RNG (but does sometimes have an MM), and definitely has its share of muppets (adults who still confuse their right and left directions, and insist on dancing at a higher level than their skill allows, hmm sounds familiar).
Happy Hump Day Everyone! special shout out to our southern tankers, that got buried in snow. Take it easy shoveling, keep in mind Mother nature put it there, let her take it away too. I agree, when the cues are full, matches load faster, better match making but OMG the level of play crashes. Have the best day possible!! Cheers
Clause - I want to thank you but if YOU weren't commenting on the video I would NEVER watch a WG WOT video - reason #1 you point your gun at the enemy and you can't hit them because the bloom circle. It makes NO SENSE but to inhibit the tank type to be crap (Russian tanks not included) Thanks keep it up I watch everyday
I don't think he has researched the field mods at all on this tank it is only if you have unlocked the one which permits you to switch equipment at the beginning that you get to see the equipment at the outset. Look at the start of the second replay.
Well. They need a sound effect of a ELC getting crushed under the Tortoise. Maybe crushing a cockroach or lettuce head... Develop a bot program that copy last known human play in that particular tank. Go to bush A in grid B2, sit still and take aim... Five human players with ten tier 8 copycat bots on your team. It will be hilarious to see if you survive...
I think in the Real AMX 90. . .the crew has to get out of the tank to reload it. . . One of those French tanks, the real tank works like that. Who knows how long that would take?
Think your right about the MM... in fact I started playing the Mutz again. You know, cause it NUTZ!! But yah, I think the MM is a bit better. More all t8 MM. but it could be that the population is up, and tier 8 is the most popular.
id like to see a free for all mode one of thoes 9 square large maps. teir 1 to 10 perpetual battle no end to the map only a delay in spawn as it would be perpetual 30 v 30. if you die you go back to garage and a new player takes your place in the map and you are applyed to the waiting time to enter the perpetual free for all no holds barred war zone.
They could make it fun by just having all premium tanks, because the 1's you have ground are fking usess in game against the new premiums and buffs to tech tree tanks.
Here is an idea for you, why don't you feature 1 game and then play the same tank to make us understand the mistakes !! you know show and tell demonstrate your skills !
I used to play for hours at a time. Since they changed premium ammo from gold to credits the game has gone downhill. Gold spamming on every match. Overpowered light tanks and under powered heavies.
Asia is going downhill again, even after AU being forced in. I sort of agree, yes it needs to be more fun, but I think your reasoning is a bit out though. The whales should be playing t10, along with a lot more newer players, but its too expensive for most. Having unicums in platoons playing lower tiers (talking under t5) is only ruining it for the inexperienced players trying to grind new tanks and learn the game. Personally, I have over 10 years introduced around 20 players to the game, all have quit, usually after a year or so, the reason given - unbalanced games and getting owned by experienced players, feeling they didn't have a chance and couldn't contribute meaningfully to the game. I would love one of the CC's to try this, introduce 10 players to the game and review their progress each month, and quiz them about their experience. I think it would be useful and surprising to many.
Haven't played in over 5 years now. There used to be 2xp 3xp weekends and over of 30k players on NA. Many have quit probably for the same reasons I did, overly complex setups, removing favorite low tier tanks, nerfing others, etc.
Used to play 50 games a day..lucky to play 10 these days...no fun..1 out of ten games isn't a lopsided blowout, your best gun suddenly has a 20% hit rate and similar pen rate...game is manipulated way too much by RNG.
its not the player base the problem weakends is unplayable where player base is up, the problem is the programers/dessision makers that test new thinks in matchmake and twick rng first 5-10 days of christmash boxes was epic i was hiting every shot was makeing 150k credits per battle then all of a sudden game becomes unplayable makeing 50k credits per battle, blowouts 3 minutes games untill the 1.27.1 update then all of a sudden everythink started hiting bullseye and doing good then i stoped playing so my guess is someone at dessision makeing in wg is a bad person
Been watching for a while and I think you focus too much on the tanks you personally like. Toro was interesting, the Bourrasque videos you've shown a thousand times. Would have liked to have seen a newer tank.
It seems you've started sleeping with the enemy. and it is known that Wargaming is the enemy of all players ,..and curiously all the streamers are the only ones happy it seems..so in other words you changed sides too...I think you were the last one against them...that's what I understood from your statement at the end of the clip..I think it was the last one for me, bye
Play a tier 8,against a tier 10..... Like for like,and you will die! You won't pen,and regardless of if your using a heavy. All will pen you like a hot knife,through butter. Reduce points for players,not fulfilling the role of their tank.Example,heavy at base,playing as a TD..Is this possible? Not have arty,in heavily impaired cities. Make terrain much more varied. Often have nowhere to go(not beneficial if a good turret),if not the fastest!

It's so good to see the old Claus back. I was beginning to think the Mad Professor hair days were long gone .🤣🤣🤣
never!
Tortoise tracked the ELC, muppet.

What kind of life experience leads to the name, Eat Mo Possum? I picture a character out of Deliverance.
Go south of the Mason Dixon line in the states. It’s basically everyone 😂
@Bohdisattva326 I'm from there, and no, it isn't everyone.
This holiday period has been painful when playing 'normal' tanks. Guess MM has RNG too :)
agreed i got so aggravated i almost uninstalled the game
Holyday season got flooded with tier 8 premiums, so it was very common to end up in full tier 8 MM.
Great hair volume!
The little ELC almost became roadkill.
I had the pleasure of being asked in game to fill in their Wargaming survey. After I berated them for their rubbish RNG, MM and crap gameplay. The game crashed so they didn't have to read my suggestions. As expected.

I finally caught up! I was almost months behind on Claus's videos. Finally current!
ELC ate one shot and made the tortoise turn, saving toro and allowing him to finish it
Claus got O-Pee-Chee Hockey Cards
I wonder if he knows that Topps exists.
It was probably two parts. First, more people are playing their new tier 8 premiums, so the match maker has to put together more single tier battles to get all the tier 8s into matches. Second, it seems the matchmaker balances the overpowered tanks by putting them into higher tier matches.

I thought it was - NOT ALLOWED ; - to have FUN - in this game !
You're right, fun is not allowed in WOT.
More Fun!
Good games and commentary. Tank you, Claus.
the tortoise blow the tracks off of the light tank that's why he stopped in front of him.
Saved Toros ass also
I'm STUNNED !! Claus in a positive mood to WG !! I'm speechless nearly :)
Fixing the 1 sidded bullshit mm would be great
WG needs to let RNG allow the players to do their best and not interfere, thats gonna make the game alot more fun for everyone

Fun is not in the wg dictionary!
Money is though!
over the holiday season, if you played t6 or 7, every game was loaded with t8 premium. But t8 match making was great, all 8 with some 7 and 6
ELC was tracked. Show some mercy for little Bug 😅
Why is there a bird feeder on top of his tank?
Claus you may not know this…on the Console version…they gave the Grille a fully traversable turret!!😱

Surrounded again!!!! Wwwooaaahhhh!!! Surrounded again!!!!
Don’t pull out!!!! That’s what she said! 😁

elc got tracked!
I don't think he has researched the field mods at all on this tank it is only if you have unlocked the one which permits you to switch equipment at the beginning that you get to see the equipment at the outset. Look at the start of the second replay.
The light tank was saving the gso, by distracting the toytooy
Some reason the equipment load out wasn't showing, I'm confused, I don't know what he's doing, where's the Grille?
04:30 ... he needs to reduce the sensitivity of his mouse when in the aiming/sniper mode.
My word I could not find the Grille in the first game!
Well. They need a sound effect of a ELC getting crushed under the Tortoise. Maybe crushing a cockroach or lettuce head...
Develop a bot program that copy last known human play in that particular tank. Go to bush A in grid B2, sit still and take aim...

AY UP CLAUS
DON'T PULL OUT!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
great content elc lol 2 great games
Yep
Never knew that there whas a cave there in the 1st game. 😂😂
Claus. I haven't seen 8k people on NA server in years. Most of it is between 3-5k players.
I think in the Real AMX 90. . .the crew has to get out of the tank to reload it. . . One of those French tanks, the real tank works like that. Who knows how long that would take?
Oh yeah! I stuffed my face into tier 8 premium tanks mm all December 🤣 Credits, moooore credits! 😱🧟♂️
Add smoke screens and mine fields
Think your right about the MM... in fact I started playing the Mutz again. You know, cause it NUTZ!! But yah, I think the MM is a bit better. More all t8 MM. but it could be that the population is up, and tier 8 is the most popular.
Clause, are you trying to insinuate that WG rewards players who spend more money on premium tanks?
Funny stuff 😂
id like to see a free for all mode one of thoes 9 square large maps. teir 1 to 10 perpetual battle no end to the map only a delay in spawn as it would be perpetual 30 v 30. if you die you go back to garage and a new player takes your place in the map and you are applyed to the waiting time to enter the perpetual free for all no holds barred war zone.
Maybe its like 'Got Milk ?' ?
14:57 As soon as he goes for the other KV-2, instead of finishing off the first one, you know he's a douche
Ffs, the elc was obviously tracked.
Yes, but Clause's versoion is funnier.
I have found out that watching this game is far far better than playing this game !
Thanks WG AI MM
It’s just a game. I’m playing for fun.
Two good rnds.. 😎 Hey War Gaming Is balancing Blitz..! 👀 So be careful what you ask for.. 👍
They could make it fun by just having all premium tanks, because the 1's you have ground are fking usess in game against the new premiums and buffs to tech tree tanks.
Here is an idea for you, why don't you feature 1 game and then play the same tank to make us understand the mistakes !! you know show and tell demonstrate your skills !
I used to play for hours at a time. Since they changed premium ammo from gold to credits the game has gone downhill. Gold spamming on every match. Overpowered light tanks and under powered heavies.
Maybe just use one server
Fun according to Wargaming is more autoloading, double barreled, jet tanks.
Wait for it.......HOVER Tanks
WG says No fun for you!
By dropping the Waffelträger for 100k gold
His name was Killer...Oh my god. He has a girlfriend you know. Do you know what she's called? Geraldine! Geraldine clan member.
Happy algorithm comment have a good day
Got milk
Asia is going downhill again, even after AU being forced in. I sort of agree, yes it needs to be more fun, but I think your reasoning is a bit out though. The whales should be playing t10, along with a lot more newer players, but its too expensive for most. Having unicums in platoons playing lower tiers (talking under t5) is only ruining it for the inexperienced players trying to grind new tanks and learn the game. Personally, I have over 10 years introduced around 20 players to the game, all have quit, usually after a year or so, the reason given - unbalanced games and getting owned by experienced players, feeling they didn't have a chance and couldn't contribute meaningfully to the game. I would love one of the CC's to try this, introduce 10 players to the game and review their progress each month, and quiz them about their experience. I think it would be useful and surprising to many.
I uninstalled this evening.
I'm not spending 100,000 gold on the Waffentrackor.
I'm not going to play in games with player that own that.
I'm done.
Haven't played in over 5 years now. There used to be 2xp 3xp weekends and over of 30k players on NA. Many have quit probably for the same reasons I did, overly complex setups, removing favorite low tier tanks, nerfing others, etc.
The elc got tracked Claus don't be so lame.
Used to play 50 games a day..lucky to play 10 these days...no fun..1 out of ten games isn't a lopsided blowout, your best gun suddenly has a 20% hit rate and similar pen rate...game is manipulated way too much by RNG.
☕👍
My biggest complaint on holiday game, no blitzen reward, that was 💩
The Toro seemed like a load of bull to me
I play arty and shit in people
WG can make it more fun by making it easier to uninstall.
Bourrasque should be put into tier 9. It's too OP for tier 8, even meeting tier 6. BS.
by not rigging games on EU server in the first place....
its not the player base the problem weakends is unplayable where player base is up, the problem is the programers/dessision makers that test new thinks in matchmake and twick rng first 5-10 days of christmash boxes was epic i was hiting every shot was makeing 150k credits per battle then all of a sudden game becomes unplayable makeing 50k credits per battle, blowouts 3 minutes games untill the 1.27.1 update then all of a sudden everythink started hiting bullseye and doing good then i stoped playing so my guess is someone at dessision makeing in wg is a bad person
:)
Been watching for a while and I think you focus too much on the tanks you personally like. Toro was interesting, the Bourrasque videos you've shown a thousand times. Would have liked to have seen a newer tank.
missed like 10 shots in a row
Tier VIII is F**kd, it just seems like your bottom tier constantly and makes for bad games
love the video's but i've finally had enough of the bs of this game and uninstalled doing it for my mental health
It seems you've started sleeping with the enemy. and it is known that Wargaming is the enemy of all players ,..and curiously all the streamers are the only ones happy it seems..so in other words you changed sides too...I think you were the last one against them...that's what I understood from your statement at the end of the clip..I think it was the last one for me, bye
Some viewers need to just enjoy the video and not knit pick his phrasing , just stfu and enjoy the CLIP
first
Every time I hear tortoise mispronounced I hit dislike...lol
what a shitshow in the replay.
Easy answer shut down their servers world wide.
Game is full of bots today, no fun for you. All lost games. Nice f patch wg. 😂
Claus, stop saying the word "clip". You don't know what it is.
Yes he knows it's called a magazine, just stop B!t*hi g and enjoy the video
people use them in their hair...
Play a tier 8,against a tier 10.....
Like for like,and you will die!
You won't pen,and regardless of if your using a heavy. All will pen you like a hot knife,through butter.
Reduce points for players,not fulfilling the role of their tank.Example,heavy at base,playing as a TD..Is this possible?
Not have arty,in heavily impaired cities.
Make terrain much more varied. Often have nowhere to go(not beneficial if a good turret),if not the fastest!
