And don,t forget one of the biggest WOT misteries... Every dead teammate becomes a Master, a Unicum, who will chat what you have to do and how bad you are.... LOL
@@SaviorTheBurn ofc course they are. and then pm you after the game to say how bad your stats are even though you came top or at east in the top 3 for dmg and xp. smh
Had games the other night 22 games played 3 wins. Teams were bots they stood out in open to get shot or the heavies ran a flank by themselves into undetected TDS. I was playing charioteer with 5 skill crews, field mods some purple gear. The gun could not hit the side of tanks spotted the shells drilled into the ground before reaching tanks. The hesh shells were bouncing or doing critical-hits the games were mostly over in 3 mins. The next night I was hitting pixels from a whole map away........it’s the RNG that causes raging in WOT the fact that the games are rigged to lose from the start. You touched on it a few months back when you said players going to choke point and one team will hit all their shot and the others bounce or do crit hits. The RNG has a massive effect on the game. I’ve started checking teams that play on the EU server most games I played had cheaters on their teams. Players with over 55% win rated and 70% hit rates these people are running cheat mods. So why do players get pissed off at the start of games. They look at the MM see an imbalance in tanks, maybe there’re running those mods that colour players or give win %. Or maybe like myself they have played long enough to know when WGing is spamming them. Then you add in poor RNG, cheaters, boosting clans and muppet players......no wonder people get pissed off and talk trash in chat....
I agree, the RNG controls your games.... One game I will hit where I am aiming, all game long... the next, I can't hit even one target. The game is just too stupid anymore for me. RNG has too much control over the results. This is a form of rigging... its called gambling, and the house always wins.
Yeah I agree with this. I've reached the point that when it happens (20-30 games almost all wipe-out losses, shooting rubber pellets at trampolines and perfectly aimed shots faithfully dig a hole in the dirt), where I shake my head in dismay and laugh, not at the players or at the game, but at myself for choosing to continue playing. 😁
The weirdest reason someone got mad at me? I was playing the BZ-176 and was moving into position without using my Rocket Boosters. The other BZ-176 in the game was raging in the chat that I was going too slow, I had rockets for a reason, and on and on right after he rocket boosted himself into a nest of heavies without any back up. He raged all game and then he raged in post game DMs. I tried to explain that I like to use the boosters later in the game when they're more valuable. That only made him rage harder. It was...weird...
I had a guy send me like 3 paragraphs of hate in chat. I told him that I had chat turned off and couldn't read what he was typing. He said "Oh, nevermind then"
Some players are just plan dumb. If he would stick with you, no matter what the case.... you both could have done a lot more. not saying you didn't do anything, but your game would have been a lot different if that guy was a team player.
I tell them I am a new player and my daddy lets me play tier 3, but I tried "this" tier, and oh boy it, it was fun.... The tanks were so big and loud... I got scared. ehheheheheheheheheheehehe ....... see what he says then. lol @@Juvattrucking
The best example of people just wanting to rage, was when we had the mask fiasco. There were people who were so afraid of the bug, that instead of staying home where they were safe, they would go out into crowded places with their masks on. Then they would go on the hunt for some bastard who didn't have a mask, or was just wearing one incorrectly, or someone not using the 6 foot rule between people. They would scan the mall, then suddenly they would find a victim. There is a guy not wearing a mask. A logical person would say to himself: Hey, that person doesn't have a mask on, so I should stay away from them, as they are probably full of germs. But not our hero. Our person (who is the person supposedly petrified of getting sick) actually APPROACHES the unmasked sick individual, and starts to scream at them literally 2 inches from the unmasked face. There is literally no logic to this action, in my eyes. It is just someone who loves to scream, and berated others, and shout to the world: My way is best, and I am willing to cause a public display to show the world how right I am. So to summarize, the best way to stay safe from a bug is not to stay home, but to go out into the most crowded place you can think of, find a high risk individual, and get right in their face. Facepalm? Humanity is doomed.
I never wore a mask and got pp in my face a few times lol. Also does shutting down most of the shops and just leaving a few open so if it does spread more chance of getting it due to less places to go to.
Many players enter the game angry already. They want to vent their anger in this game and, of course, that does not work in WoT. So they get even more angry and the last resort for them is to attack their own teammates in chat or pm. Should not have played the game in the first place.
Does it really happen that often? For me most of the time they'll say a single word like "bot" or "retard" and spam ping me like it's League of Legends. I try to invite them to talk in a platoon but sadly nobody wishes to join me.
I say that all the time, I should stop playing this game and play one that is fun. problem is, most of the games these days are total shit. sure they look good, but the body of the games, are hollowed out, and what we like to say "1 inch deep". meaning there is nothing beyond what you see. "My Cousin Vinny" the movie, explains it best, with the playing card, looking like a brick. This is the best example possible.
@@KOS762 It's the Call of Duty mentality that a players stats is all that matters. They watch a 'how to' video and believe that's the only way to win on a map or in a certain tank. The majority of them aren't any good, they just do as they're told. Never realizing the people also watching those videos know exactly where these 'ALL Stars' will go now. It's why you'll see teams just get ran over. You're playing people who 'watched a video on RUclips.' And for some reason, everyone else on the map isn't playing that way and they're being shot.
It's the worst player's that rage the most. They get mad because they are tired of losing all the time. But they aren't self aware enough to realize they are the common denominator.
I totally agree with you, Claus. I remember when I started the world of tanks on steam. I was just 4 months into the game ( still a babe at the game) . I'm trying to learn the maps and watch other players play. Anyway, I finally got the Matilda, and I put on the big gun. I realized in battle I pick the wrong gun . I was still trying to learn the tanks and guns in the game. After the game, a player sent me a message. Swearing 🤬 and telling me to Un install . I look at his ratings and games he played. I almost had a heart attack to see he had thousands and thousands and thousands of Games 🎮 battles. Here I had, under a thousand Games 🎮 . I sentt a reply back and explained to him I was new and still learning. I guess it goes to show you , players who have been playing for years. Don't take the time to check other players' stats . To see if he's a new player or not. To try to understand that new players are learning the game. Once in a while, I check players stats when I see how crazy 🤪 they play. I do see that they are beginners like me or just player who is really careless. But the thing is, I try not to criticize them. Because who I'm I to tell someone how to play their tank. Hell, I'm still trying to get to Tier 7 tank😅.. I finally broke into tier 6😮. I don't play that much like I used to do at the beginning. I have been playing for 14 months. Just getting bored with same old maps and same old battles. .
Hello Klaus. I've been playing tanks since 2020 and haven't spent a penny on the game. Recently I wrote to WG out of anger that you can't play WOT normally. Light tanks no longer spot, they do damage, MM is nonsense, battles last 2-3 minutes due to their game policy. So if you play with a slow tank, you don't really play. You don't earn credits because you rarely shoot 2-3 shots which, of course, do not hit the target with full concentration. This is how the game is played now, I wrote to them. Of course, they didn't write back to an ordinary player who played for free, but they made my next week even better. Now I'm still at the bottom of the list, great MM, 3-4 city maps over and over again, of course, and most of the team are bots. Just great. this is how you play WOT now. I wish you all the best and greetings from Poland. As for the YT channel, it's awesome, keep it up. And maybe more Premium Ammo Avoider? The guy is epic.
Now you've done it Claus. Every time I see a WoT replay my mind automatically hears that retched music "The Green Orbs with Springtime Family Band"......can't get it out of my head now. Thanks Claus, thanks a lot. 🤣
Claus I've been listening to what you've been saying about getting mad in this game and I am guilty but you have made me consider how I react to absolute moronic game play and even more often my anger at WG and their management of the game. This is supposed to be fun, not raise my blood pressure. Thanks for the laughs and your perspective! Cheers.
Weirdest shit I ever read, a "Karen" complained to her neighbor that the smell of them cooking meat on their BBQ offended them because they were vegans.
I now play with chat disabled. Can’t be bothered with dead players toxic rants and being told I’m a moron. The game is taken too seriously. If they’re not happy with what comes along in RANDOM games, then don’t play them!
All jokes aside, this recent series that have produced is really holding up a mirror for me. I recognize my own behavior (both good and bad). Thanks Klaus
I wish i could have your attitude, maybe i would enjoy the game more. Sometimes i start the game up and just sit in the garage thinking i want to play, but i cant deal with all the toxicity, so i end up playing something else. Which is a shame, because i love the game, ive played 22,000 battles, but in the last year only a few hundred, because the attitude of "teammates" puts me off playing. Keep on trucking Claus.!
I was playing my lt100 one day and I dropped in a battle on Camp in a bushka I was the only light tank 12K spotting 2K damage we smoked them.. smoked them 😊
I use 4 tanks in onslaught, in the maybe 3 games a day I play. Object 277, S Conq, TVP, Prog 65. The latter two are for doing what you do but without the spotting mechanic. Successful.
I for one am glad you sit in your basement and drink coffee all day long and make videos about life and pixel tanks. I derive benefit from it. Keep it up Claus.Thanks from Murica! 👍🏻
First thing to ask....How old are these players? Probably far younger than you'd think and this is like the school sandbox. Many of the others are only 12 on the maturity level. Rush hour traffic. Everyone is so much more important than you. They yell at you to move over so they can get there 5 seconds before you do. You don't drive fast enough. You don't run the red light so they can get through the intersection as well. You pull into a lane they want for themselves. Then they get mad if you drive faster than they do so they chase you down.
The greatest feature on WoT is the mute button. You have a large percentage of children and "adult children" who have very little gray matter playing this game. Once I discovered this feature my enjoyment of the game went way up. Great game play Claus!
FV4005's special ability is speed boost, health regeneration, and crew boost. The Sh!tbarn is decent in Onslaught! Claus we absolutely love how fluent and funny your new intros are
Temper tantrums are kind of normal in WoT, but Onslaught seems to have been made specifically to instigate toxic behaviour in people. People climb in rank slowly and suddenly can have a string of bad defeats that makes them slide back down in rank. It doesn't help when you are in losing teams with players that seem to have no clue of what to do - Super Conquerers all the way East in El Halluf, E3 camping all the way back in Mines, STB1s from north spawn in Cliff that go camp South spawn base...where it usually is in randoms... It is a shame. I actually think that Onslaught does have some great ideas, such as the sub-class modifiers (as long as they are not too OP). At this point I just play enough to get the weekly rewards.
I need Spring to get here so I can do more kite flying and less playing this stupid game. I've said "I'm done" so many times, but then keep coming back... what's wrong with me?
Lmao.... I've found my long lost brother,its just so scary how similar our way of thinking and how we see things is sooo similar plus we are both Stra guys...lol I'm totally convinced we are brothers from another mother. I really enjoy watching the tank battles while discussing philosophy as well... LMFAO. Oh BTW I got your gfy reference right outta the gate!!!! ( Again, LMFAO!!!) You have a great day as well my brother! 👍👍👍
It started way back when a platoon could bring a teir 1 tank into a teir 10 game. The game got much better when I could turn the chat off and iI haven''t had it on since.
The main issue since beta was the dispersion of skill in combination with the tier spread. If your top tier tank player sucks there is not much you can do. So you sometimes have to rely on idiots to carry you and WN8 made it worse. If you play a classic TDM or FFA mode where everybody is kind on the same level you do not see that much whining and frustration.
Switch chat off and your enjoyment will increase ten fold. I have only switched it back on once (in well over a year) coz someone pushed me into enemy fire and I was wiped out in the first minute. I then blacklisted him. In fact people who I see behaving badly I blacklist. Maybe you are right and the game just reflects the angry society we now live in. Lastly there is this fomo in all video games nowadays. So we end up not playing to relax after a hard day but because we have to.
I have played in many games where I am playing an STRV or another sniper TD and I get berated because I'm playing it as a sniper. They seem to always want me to take my glass cannon to the front line to assault heavy tanks. This happens most of the time when my team is being clobbered, and the idiot who is a keyboard badass is already dead! I'M NOT GONNA TAKE MY 1800 HP TANK INTO THE LION'S DEN OF HEAVIES AND ASSAULT TD'S!! DUH BRAINLESS
Sometimes I get mad playing on this game many times, sometimes I blame game mechanics, RNG and players also but I had to admit that you are right is just a game and game are to get fun not to get angry.
Here's the thing; within the context of a team sport or effort there is an implied obligation/responsibility to do the best you can for the team. So, an effort should be made by each of us accordingly. Conversely, the extreme that Claus is addressing definitely exists. I have often turned off chat just to eliminate the toxin from the game experience.
Back when you could platoon off tier, my clan had our 2 tier 8 T-32's platooned with a KV2 . We got up tiered into a Tier 10 match. After all the initial fail platoon jibes and criticism, I said "We call him (the KV2) Maus Killer. Well, yeah our platoon achieved 8 kills. I got 2, the other T32 got 2, and the KV2 got 4 (2nd highest damage) WIth some spectacular 800m shots. It's not the tier, or the tank; it's how you play it.
Objectively assess what your team mates have to offer in their selected tanks. Adjust your game to take advantage of their assets and lend support to provide advantage to them in return. Sounds like simple, mature, team play to me.
One of my favorite berating I get is (on my alt account that only has 15000 battles and A 46% win rate) "you're a tomato we've lost, uninstall, go play barbie" to which I then show them up doing 3 times their damage XD
My Neighbors get angry when I feed the crows with nuts, cause the crows make noises. They also get angry when the Church bells ring, because they don't need a Church bell to know the time since they have smartphones. I think they may be possessed by Demons.
I was in a clan and one of the XO's was on the enemy team. HE had a very good hull down tank, and I could only use HE or HEAT vs his situation. I spammed HE like a MF, and after 27 shots, I killed him. I few minutes later, I was kicked from the clan. I asked the Cmdr, "Why did I get kicked?". He said, you spammed HE at one of our XO's. So I said: ???what??? So what? It's a game, and I did what I had to win, regardless what muppet I was shooting at. ... This is how some people are. Soar losers... Or just losers, I am not sure if they were soar or not. Glad it happened, I now am in a clan that is very active and likes me on the team. OH yah, since HE has been nerfed, that strat don't work so good anymore.
I do not have this problem. Why? Coz I don't do bloody chat. As for the anger and people complaining and berating others in a game because they..chose the wrong tank. Or they choose not to push into stupid positions and die early. And the one whom they berate wins the game for the lemmings, which of course all the lemmings didn't want them to do. But this is only a game, the tanks aren't real..no one actually dies. But, in the world outside a game people are. All for the same reasons.
had an asshat send me a private message trying to berate me for our loss because I chose to focus my arty fire at the town instead of supporting him as he went up the valley with 8 other team members. I told him he shouldn't have needed support with half the team going to the same spot and that maybe just maybe if he was a decent player he could have capitalized and killed the 4 enemy players they were up against.
Ah yes, a random guy dies in the first 3min of the game and tells the rest how they suck, how he will report them for being a bot...And ofc everyone now and then you can have bad luck and get f'd instantly and then ppl msg you after the game not to play the game, all the ********** words in the book.
I look at the match making and well I've played the game for many years and based on my observations throughout the years I've come to notice the incredibly horrible lack of balance and know what tanks tend to make the greatest impact in battles and I come to a conclusion at the beginning of the match and am usually very accurate on my prediction, Loss, Win, or balanced/good/close game, rarely am I wrong, am I wrong sometimes yes, probably cause I don't use the mod showing wn8 of the players as player skill tends to be a factor as well. Do I openly type my prediction, sometimes. I also know the really good tanks tend to be driven by the real good players most of the time in battle.
F-ing Bot deliberately threw the Game by leaving the enemy base while i defended ours til i ran out of ammo. We had Victory even though the enemy had 8 tanks and ours only 4. Then the F-ing Bot drove out of the cap and sat there. WTF? And yes im sure it was a bot. Im beginning to believe that WOT'S rigs the bots to lose when some threshold triggers it.
I start everyday with 4 battles, if I go less than 50% I log out and play a different game! Don't get mad anymore, I just leave. I use to play several matches and get pissed off with loss after loss. I don't do it anymore. I'll just let wargaming add more bots! Lol
And don,t forget one of the biggest WOT misteries... Every dead teammate becomes a Master, a Unicum, who will chat what you have to do and how bad you are.... LOL
Yeah and half the time they are right. Once I became unicum people don't blame me for shit ever.
Only thing i hate in this mode when someone just goes off and then dies in 30s with no reason at all
@@SaviorTheBurn ofc course they are. and then pm you after the game to say how bad your stats are even though you came top or at east in the top 3 for dmg and xp. smh

Not much. Unicorns though supposedly magical do not have very good plot armor. Your average housecat has better plot armor against tanks.

If you dont play tier 10 or tier 9 in 2024 and spam premium ammo you are asking for a bad time unfortunately
Might as well throw in how CAMO (should change the name to CLOAKING) is so unrealistic.
No problem spotting and doing damage in my lights. Sounds like a skill issue not wg fault

Sometimes i start the game up and just sit in the garage thinking i want to play, but i cant deal with all the toxicity, so i end up playing something else. Which is a shame, because i love the game, ive played 22,000 battles, but in the last year only a few hundred, because the attitude of "teammates" puts me off playing. Keep on trucking Claus.!
I was playing my lt100 one day and I dropped in a battle on Camp in a bushka I was the only light tank 12K spotting 2K damage we smoked them.. smoked them 😊
3 scouts on your team, all 3 go to the same square. All 3 spot passively. The 3 on the other team are lighting your whole team up. Rage
I use 4 tanks in onslaught, in the maybe 3 games a day I play. Object 277, S Conq, TVP, Prog 65. The latter two are for doing what you do but without the spotting mechanic. Successful.
I for one am glad you sit in your basement and drink coffee all day long and make videos about life and pixel tanks. I derive benefit from it. Keep it up Claus.Thanks from Murica! 👍🏻
First thing to ask....How old are these players? Probably far younger than you'd think and this is like the school sandbox. Many of the others are only 12 on the maturity level.
Rush hour traffic. Everyone is so much more important than you. They yell at you to move over so they can get there 5 seconds before you do. You don't drive fast enough. You don't run the red light so they can get through the intersection as well. You pull into a lane they want for themselves. Then they get mad if you drive faster than they do so they chase you down.
The greatest feature on WoT is the mute button. You have a large percentage of children and "adult children" who have very little gray matter playing this game.
Once I discovered this feature my enjoyment of the game went way up. Great game play Claus!
FV4005's special ability is speed boost, health regeneration, and crew boost.
The Sh!tbarn is decent in Onslaught!
Claus we absolutely love how fluent and funny your new intros are
Temper tantrums are kind of normal in WoT, but Onslaught seems to have been made specifically to instigate toxic behaviour in people. People climb in rank slowly and suddenly can have a string of bad defeats that makes them slide back down in rank. It doesn't help when you are in losing teams with players that seem to have no clue of what to do - Super Conquerers all the way East in El Halluf, E3 camping all the way back in Mines, STB1s from north spawn in Cliff that go camp South spawn base...where it usually is in randoms...
It is a shame. I actually think that Onslaught does have some great ideas, such as the sub-class modifiers (as long as they are not too OP).
At this point I just play enough to get the weekly rewards.
I need Spring to get here so I can do more kite flying and less playing this stupid game. I've said "I'm done" so many times, but then keep coming back... what's wrong with me?
Love my hellcat. it's the best t6 in the game. I also love the super hellcat. I have 3 marks on both
Lmao.... I've found my long lost brother,its just so scary how similar our way of thinking and how we see things is sooo similar plus we are both Stra guys...lol I'm totally convinced we are brothers from another mother. I really enjoy watching the tank battles while discussing philosophy as well... LMFAO. Oh BTW I got your gfy reference right outta the gate!!!! ( Again, LMFAO!!!) You have a great day as well my brother! 👍👍👍
It started way back when a platoon could bring a teir 1 tank into a teir 10 game.
The game got much better when I could turn the chat off and iI haven''t had it on since.
Not only the gameplay is getting faster…. 😊
The main issue since beta was the dispersion of skill in combination with the tier spread. If your top tier tank player sucks there is not much you can do. So you sometimes have to rely on idiots to carry you and WN8 made it worse.
If you play a classic TDM or FFA mode where everybody is kind on the same level you do not see that much whining and frustration.
Switch chat off and your enjoyment will increase ten fold. I have only switched it back on once (in well over a year) coz someone pushed me into enemy fire and I was wiped out in the first minute. I then blacklisted him. In fact people who I see behaving badly I blacklist.
Maybe you are right and the game just reflects the angry society we now live in.
Lastly there is this fomo in all video games nowadays. So we end up not playing to relax after a hard day but because we have to.
I have played in many games where I am playing an STRV or another sniper TD and I get berated because I'm playing it as a sniper. They seem to always want me to take my glass cannon to the front line to assault heavy tanks. This happens most of the time when my team is being clobbered, and the idiot who is a keyboard badass is already dead! I'M NOT GONNA TAKE MY 1800 HP TANK INTO THE LION'S DEN OF HEAVIES AND ASSAULT TD'S!! DUH BRAINLESS
Sometimes I get mad playing on this game many times, sometimes I blame game mechanics, RNG and players also but I had to admit that you are right is just a game and game are to get fun not to get angry.
Pissed off every time I play. So many clearly corrupt things about this grabage game.
Then why play
Oh gawd, so true Claus. Great games today! Thanks.
Here's the thing; within the context of a team sport or effort there is an implied obligation/responsibility to do the best you can for the team. So, an effort should be made by each of us accordingly. Conversely, the extreme that Claus is addressing definitely exists. I have often turned off chat just to eliminate the toxin from the game experience.
I can't hit the broadside of a barn in the Hellcat. Well done vs tier 8 tanks. Usually the one's complaining are the one's already dead. lol
Back when you could platoon off tier, my clan had our 2 tier 8 T-32's platooned with a KV2 . We got up tiered into a Tier 10 match. After all the initial fail platoon jibes and criticism, I said "We call him (the KV2) Maus Killer. Well, yeah our platoon achieved 8 kills. I got 2, the other T32 got 2, and the KV2 got 4 (2nd highest damage) WIth some spectacular 800m shots. It's not the tier, or the tank; it's how you play it.
Missed shots, no pen, can't see the enemy, lots to get angry about.
Love "insult mode," I am so much happier since I turned off team chat. Do you think people get madder at me when I don't respond to their insults?
I wonder this. Sometimes I respond after the battle and have some fun with them :)
Objectively assess what your team mates have to offer in their selected tanks. Adjust your game to take advantage of their assets and lend support to provide advantage to them in return. Sounds like simple, mature, team play to me.
One of my favorite berating I get is (on my alt account that only has 15000 battles and A 46% win rate) "you're a tomato we've lost, uninstall, go play barbie" to which I then show them up doing 3 times their damage XD
Oooh yesss, thank you Claus for playing again!!!
It's a desire of power.
At my age it is hard to work up a case of minor irritation let alone anger, Claus.
I have not been playing onslut. Will start playing now with light tanks, thanks
A world full of writhel spirits, occupied with nuances, wondering about the next netflix show instead of the cage we all life in.
Best comment on the page.
Ever notice how people who want to share their views with you never want to hear yours.
OK: I won't do that because of my beliefs. Not OK: You can't do that because of my beliefs. Important distinction
My Neighbors get angry when I feed the crows with nuts, cause the crows make noises.
They also get angry when the Church bells ring, because they don't need a Church bell to know the time since they have smartphones.
I think they may be possessed by Demons.
i love your intros clauss , thanks for the laugh !!!
Clause try half speed u sound bombed lol
I was in a clan and one of the XO's was on the enemy team. HE had a very good hull down tank, and I could only use HE or HEAT vs his situation. I spammed HE like a MF, and after 27 shots, I killed him. I few minutes later, I was kicked from the clan. I asked the Cmdr, "Why did I get kicked?". He said, you spammed HE at one of our XO's. So I said: ???what??? So what? It's a game, and I did what I had to win, regardless what muppet I was shooting at. ... This is how some people are. Soar losers... Or just losers, I am not sure if they were soar or not. Glad it happened, I now am in a clan that is very active and likes me on the team. OH yah, since HE has been nerfed, that strat don't work so good anymore.
I never understand the anger. If they are that mad they should do something else with their time. Thanks for the Hellcat game. Love that TD.
I used to rage in this game and now I don't care and my game play improved by 5% win rate
I just play own game and have fun
Life's to short
The quitters at the beginning of the battle don't understand how to enjoy being the underdog.
So ask Tucker if he can get Puttin too explain the Russian cloak of dispersion..
It's Cov-e-NANTER lololol
I get a cringe when Claus says 'Covenator', but sometimes wonder if he's saying that on purpose! I still watch him every day for years.
I do enjoy your openings.
I do not have this problem. Why? Coz I don't do bloody chat.
As for the anger and people complaining and berating others in a game because they..chose the wrong tank. Or they choose not to push into stupid positions and die early. And the one whom they berate wins the game for the lemmings, which of course all the lemmings didn't want them to do.
But this is only a game, the tanks aren't real..no one actually dies.
But, in the world outside a game people are. All for the same reasons.
I live in a truck watching tank videos. I need to work on generating anger.
Conflicting values, I get upset at cycists ignoring the law. In the UK it is illegal to run a red light, should I stop calling them out?
... Freeman don't need no stEEnking bike lawZ!
I couldn't do what you do Claus - it would make my hair stand on end! ;)
Love the covenanter gameplay! Never see that tank
Insult mode? Claus is pure gold.
I've been 1 shot for 1600 dmg so many times by the shitbarn.. way too many..
Because people forget that it is just a video game. Good, for my best one but at the end of the day it is just video game.
They call them Kem's and Karens/ Klaus.
This gave me a giggle in the morning.
had an asshat send me a private message trying to berate me for our loss because I chose to focus my arty fire at the town instead of supporting him as he went up the valley with 8 other team members. I told him he shouldn't have needed support with half the team going to the same spot and that maybe just maybe if he was a decent player he could have capitalized and killed the 4 enemy players they were up against.
Plz give the berater a hat with bells and a mandoline 😂
Are prestige points anything like the chinese social score?
I was watching quickie baby play. He came over Ridge And faces a Shit barn and got vaporized 😮😮😅😅
Steve Buscemi sounds fed up with this game
GFY! - Good For You!
That's what I thought!
Ah yes, a random guy dies in the first 3min of the game and tells the rest how they suck, how he will report them for being a bot...And ofc everyone now and then you can have bad luck and get f'd instantly and then ppl msg you after the game not to play the game, all the ********** words in the book.
Your not a loser man, you’re awesome
Everybody keeps telling me to uninstall. I've done that five times now, but the game seems to play the same. WTH?
how can a native North American play on the EU server? My only game options are NA or SA
You would have to start a new account on EU I think. Ping will be worse, but my friend used to play on EU from Australia so it can work.
you have to load the eu game cant use the us game have to download and put the game from eu on your putter then it will let you see the eu servers
The 'insult' mode is a better name. It is still Russian way. The more people you offend the more prestige points you get.
Love these intros
Never seen anything like that performance in the the covey. Cudos
At least they didn't suicide right out of the spawn. It's easier to ignore a foul mouthed idiot than ignore being down 6-7 30 seconds into the battle.
its not about the tank people choose...its about that Onslaught is broken. Since you need rating to buy tank for bonds everyone is going tryhard mode.
Have faith!
This sounds like ; Steve Buscemi - LOL ! GJ bytheway - WP !
I look at the match making and well I've played the game for many years and based on my observations throughout the years I've come to notice the incredibly horrible lack of balance and know what tanks tend to make the greatest impact in battles and I come to a conclusion at the beginning of the match and am usually very accurate on my prediction, Loss, Win, or balanced/good/close game, rarely am I wrong, am I wrong sometimes yes, probably cause I don't use the mod showing wn8 of the players as player skill tends to be a factor as well. Do I openly type my prediction, sometimes. I also know the really good tanks tend to be driven by the real good players most of the time in battle.
for to say just the greatest player ever! the greatest i tell you!
Ich liebe sie Claus und ihren Humor😂🤣🥰😍.
Grüße aus Deutschland 👋
Your rights end where mine begin .
F-ing Bot deliberately threw the Game by leaving the enemy base while i defended ours til i ran out of ammo. We had Victory even though the enemy had 8 tanks and ours only 4. Then the F-ing Bot drove out of the cap and sat there. WTF?
And yes im sure it was a bot.
Im beginning to believe that WOT'S rigs the bots to lose when some threshold triggers it.
I start everyday with 4 battles, if I go less than 50% I log out and play a different game! Don't get mad anymore, I just leave. I use to play several matches and get pissed off with loss after loss. I don't do it anymore. I'll just let wargaming add more bots! Lol
AY UP CLAUS
