Larger High Tier Population Than Normal?

[The_GoDDfather]

Seriously, I've been getting queued in my T10 within 20 seconds consistently.

When I looked earlier it had 11 CA, 7 BB, 3 DD, and 3 CV. Like dafuq?

 

This is very strange and far from the norm. O_o

You weren't paying attention to the Arpeggio bug I reckon.

The million exp one was fixed...

Is there another one now? :/

That doesn't mean no one got the xp.

[BlazerSparta]

That doesn't mean no one got the xp.

 

And it only took them 1-2 days to grind up the 30 million credits or so it would take to purchase and outfit a T10.

 

k.

 

Either that, or they bought a crap-ton of credits to buy and outfit those 10s, in which case, WG gets it's money, and we get more T10s. Win win.

 

IMO we're seeing a lot of T10s because the best firestarters and AA platforms are all T10.

 

Zao played as a stealth firestarter is incredibly sustainable at T10.

What do you mean outfit? do you really think a lower tier person would consider the upgrade modules that could be put on?

[RogueFlameHaze]

We needed more T10s anyway. The ones that used free exp for them are just going to be easy targets anyway

There's peeps sitting on a fatter stacks of coins than that already.

Fine. That's still 20m just for the ship.

 

It took me longer than a day to come up with the credits, ad that's with selling the T9, and playing a lot more than most.

I can think of two types of people who would have that. Low tier people who refuse to play at higher tiers, and have tons of credits because they aren't going past T8 even though they have the exp to research, those who have tons of credits because they're slow climbing the tiers, and only play high earning premiums at high tiers, and those who have already forked over tons of cash to WG for free exp/credit packs.

 

I still see no losers here.

its hard to spend my 85,067,000 credits and 137,000 free xp..i feel like donating some instead of buying a tier 10 ships...wish there will be a option to donate some credits to a another player somehow..someday..

If giving some people free XP is all it took to get tier 10 populated enough for the MM to be decent, then they should go ahead and unify gold/doubloons...

 

Really though, the whole game has been more populated recently.  We're past the holiday break and have 14k people playing, so there's definitely been an uptick in active players.

No way, the Arpeggio event was supposed to have killed the game when it forces all the historical purists to leave.

[Kenjister]

I like the way they implemented the Arpeggio mode. If you don't like it, you never have to see it.

 

That being said, I'm regularly seeing poi in the starting chat again. And oddly enough nobody getting all butthurt about it.

 

Aside from the kill hit frustration, I think the event is working pretty well!

[Angelhunter]

I don't think credits are that much of an issue. Spamming games in my Murmansk and Cleveland has netted me near 10m in the past 2 nights playing for just a few hours. I'm sure there's people who play quite a bit more than that.

I would prefer that WG go all in and fulfil their previous promise of unifying accounts so gold/doubloons AND free XP are universal.

 

I'm sitting on 2 million free xp in WoT. Free xp which I spent money to buy gold to convert, and which I ground out precisely because WG said accounts would be unified like how WoT and WoP was. That doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon and it pisses me off greatly when I think about it.

[J30_Reinhardt]

I'm now firmly in the 'wow look at all the high tier derp going on' crowd.

 

[paradat]

High tier population is growing, which is normal. Game is now almost 4 months old. So more and more normal players are reaching tier 8 and more and more of the hardcore players are getting into tier 9 and 10.

Actually that is coming soon.

[QQmore]

Yeah it took a long time before u saw a solid crowd of T10 players in WoT.

[Sir_Godz]

The game is been around long enough now that there are just more people into the higher ranks. It's partly the same for the larger numbers of prem ships. More people playing and playing in longer have realized the prem ships are superior.

Simple.
