When do we reckon 91 rated cards will be eligible for evos?

Does anyone know why is "predict kill ragdolls" turned on by default?

For anyone who just plays the game and does not actively keep up with all patchnotes and reading/exploring in-game setting descriptions (understandably a good chunk of the player base, including s1mple looks like), seeing a death ragdoll animation that's then reversed in the middle of the fight makes the game feel so unserious. One good example of course is the recent s1mple's anubis mid clip. S1mple's reaction to it pretty much says everything. To be clear, I understand the pros and cons of damage prediction and it makes sense that it should be off by default, allowing users to understand the settings first before turning it on. But why is predicted ragdolls turned on by DEFAULT? (I saw folks saying "just turn damage prediction off" to s1mple's clip, that's why I was curious).

The guy seems happy recently—energized like an old dog given a puppy. 😂

Feedback on Currency

For Alpha 2, Here are the remarks from the Director Artyom: “Beyond gameplay, this test is also about technical improvements and new features. We’re rolling out performance optimizations, gathering data on stability and mechanics, and—big news—launching the first console version to get feedback on gamepad controls and cross-platform features.” I believe Currency would fall within the “gathering data on mechanics” side of this test. And I would like to share my thoughts and experiences of it since it has been a fun, challenging, and confusing time so far in Alpha 2. I have limited experience with Wargaming (Playing WoT and WoW for at most 20 hours total in the last 10 years). There’s been a reasonable number of updates and information for us to understand the initial issues players have had with the Alpha. But I do not feel as though we have been given a clear concept yet as to what the expectations are for the Economy of the game. This first week has shown the confusion around *Credits* and *Faction Tokens*, and the ways in which players earn those currencies/rewards. The first week consisted of: ·         First 24hrs: Players believed that the soft earning of credits was broken, concern there was a bug and the Devs were fixing it. ·         First 72hrs: Players were unaware or not informed about the drastic change in Credit earnings, having to find answers within discord and contact with the development team when they were chatting about changes in the *cw-discussion* channel. It was then said that all forms of currency were locked behind Missions from the new Faction Vendors. ·         Presently: There are players from the previous Alpha and those following the game wondering why Credits and Faction Tokens are currently not together earned after Battles and why there was a worse-off change in the way we gained those rewards. And why these currencies are in such **abysmal** earnings and accumulation during an *Alpha Test*.   Right off the bat here, the player-base does not enjoy this system of Credits and Faction Tokens. It does not feel rewarding, or intuitive to our time playing the game. The introduction of “Time-Gated” currencies does not bode well with this genre, or the unlock system in this innovative vehicle-based game. It’s also a bit disrespectful to the players who dedicate their time in testing this phase of development. To time-gate any kind of progression in a competitive multiplayer game is almost unheard of in this genre. I really can’t think of any other game that negates progression like Project CW does with its current system. I believe the flaws and problems are as follows: ·         Timed Unlocks: This mechanic of the game is awful. There is no worse feeling than having to wait for a certain reward because of a mechanic that makes you wait 24 hours. You also have no idea what the next reward would be. Time-gated mechanics do not belong in this genre for progression. Period. If there was one mechanic of the game that needs to be addressed immediately, it is the Time-gated Missions. It needs to be removed completely from this game in any form or function. (This does not include rotational/weekly modules and cosmetics). The time-gated systems for *progression* is what needs to be removed completely from this game. ·         Vendor Faction Tokens: For them to be the only source of Faction Token earnings puts a halt on progression. Only being able to earn these once a day, means **players will have to wait days to weeks** in order to unlock a new Agent or Tank. This is an unintuitive and flawed system to the idea of player progression for PCW. The value of playing a game where you unlock Agents and Tanks and fun ways to customize them is being hindered. All because the only way to achieve those things, is waiting days and weeks to unlock them. ·         Missions: With Missions being the major driving force in the economy. Some missions are not fun to do. They detract from the Agents or Tanks we want to battle with, and in some instances, I’ve had all 3 Vendors ask for the same Agent for the day. Another issue is that some missions don’t track correctly or at all. Which then a player is **forced to wait another 24 hours** in the hopes to earn Faction Tokens to progress. **Players are currently at the mercy of a non-bugged mission in order to simply progress**.   With those 3 major issues, I feel this game has lessened from its previous build. Alpha 1 felt good, fun, and rewarding. You were able to build your Agents and their war machines with a superior way of accumulating Credits along with a reasonable impression of respect to the Players time. My suggestions for the Economy and systems for Currency Earnings: ·         Remove time-gated missions. That’s it. Just remove these awful 24-hour caps.   ·         Faction Tokens: If this is going to stay; Allow the soft earning of Tokens by completing “objectives” given at the start of a battle. Allow the player to earn tokens based on the way they want to play the game, not in a random generated way where you just get lucky/unlucky with the missions generated. These objectives would be related to the Agent/Tank you are playing, the game mode, or the Designation of the Vendor (ex. Horizon gives out Marksman objectives, and the Colonel gives out Defender objectives). o   Horizon: Marksman kills, Goal# of Crits in a match, Longshot crits, etc. o   Colonel: Blocked Damage, Ally assists, etc. o   Chimera: Capture points, Healing allies, etc. ·         Faction Tokens (cont.): Allow the earning of Faction Tokens by “contracting” with 1 of the 3 selected Vendors. You will earn currency for that Vendor while signed, allowing you to soft earn tokens just as you would with the current earnings of Credits. ·         Credits: It’s been a welcomed addition in Alpha 2 to the soft earning of Credits. But it shouldn’t have been removed in the first place. ·         Agent/Tank progression: Allow the earning of Credits and Faction Tokens on reaching milestone levels of Agents and Tanks to have a goal for players to reach that next “tier” of unlocks, supplementing the current high cost of modules. These milestone achievements could also include Cosmetic rewards and CW Coins. I hope these thoughts and suggestions are meaningful to the Development team. Many of us want this game to succeed and enjoy our time playing it. There are many other wonderful suggestions from the economy in Discord, and thanks to all who made their voices known in it.

Is this common? Do doms not have shame?

Ive only recently found the findom world on Reddit. And since then l've noticed so many doms who are just plain weird. So many send generic messages and then there's the ones who are randomly rude. I'm a sub and I feel an ick at the desperation and that's saying a lot.
