Gaijin: wt is esport ready, Also gaijin: "Pay 500 ge to not lose lol"
How GE will make you a winner in mode where you need skills to kill enemy? It only gives you more battles. It will not give you any kills nor wins.
Stona_WT, Such an obvious thing isn't apparent to you? Let's say an ace pilot joins the tournament and gets 2 death adjusting to the tournament rules and problems (locked gun bug, servers being restricted to 400 ping only, ping bias in gun unlock preventing the player from firing while the enemy can, loadout not saving bug etc.), and get 3 victories but is still low on SL. The tournament will result in a loss of net SL therefore discouraging him from continuing. E-sports ready indeed.
so.... its pay to win?
Nope. No amount of GE gives you kills here.
Stona_WT, Instead it gives you more battles to get kills. Tbh I can’t think of a case of P2W where you directly buy kills, you always buy a means of getting kills not available to non-paying players. Surely the top players in this event are going to purchase far more of these opportunities to get kills in order to get the I-301.
The Gaijin knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the Gaijin from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position
that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the Gaijin is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the Gaijin must also know where it was. The Gaijin guidance computer scenario works as follows.
Project685_K278, Because a variation has modified some of the information the Gaijin has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called money.
Love being a british pilot
So if your a free to play player you cant win. Stona_WT: How GE will make you a winner in mode where you need skills to kill enemy? It only gives you more battles. It will not give you any kills nor wins. Well the point of this event is to get the most kills. more battles = more kills. Each player can purchase 10 silver tickets its capped(50 battles) Unlimited Silver Tickets can be purchased (20 batters per) One Platinum Ticket is up to 300 battles Its pay to win. stop lying.
This sounds actually decent, i guess i will finally try to play tournaments and hopefully get something good!
BTW, players in console can join???
*J26Lennox26, Never mind, i don't own any of the presets vehicle. What a shame.
So how are the points determined? Do you get a fixed amount of points per win, potentially requiring to "no-life" the tournament? Or is it like the Halloween Po-2 race where you either win 5 times in a row, you are almost guaranteed top 20 but if you loose once, you will struggle to stay in top 200?
it's an ELO ranking once you get near 1000-1500 you can only advance if you win almost all games. kills doesnt matter here at all only your winrate
Can’t wait to generate some SERIOUS salt in this game mode!!!
I'd rather like a 'Deathmatch' where there are no limits in everything...& that includes 'respawns'. And you need up to 500 G.E.s just to get into these slug-fests? Thanks, but no thanks...or as the saying goes, but in a decent way: 'Forget This Crap...I'm Out!!!'.
Duelant isn't a word in the English language. Do you mean duellist?
