List of changes looks like wall of text(impressive !), yet picture above describes it pretty much. Instead of fixes for most important stuff we get some more tanks so we can spend our bought gold on premium and free exp again, and enjoy invisible killers. Devs seem to ignore players questions about multi-core support and ETA for actual fixes with saying 'next update or later', at first it was pretty acceptable but damn, we get answers like this each time we ask(and it didn't get removed by mods or devs)...And there is one reason why they can do this and feel good with this: You will play anyway.

Yes, unlike character-based MMO games, WoT is only arcade MMO about tanks. This means, that you have no alternatives you could go to, so WG simply know they don't need to give a fuck about the game. If you play this game, it just proves that it is good enough to keep you playing somehow. They don't need to rush, customers won't run away ^^. Also this update brought into game new crew voices for english version of game: in my opinion they are horrible, and according to poll approved by developer 72% HATE them and other 20% dont like them which is 92% in total, I just wonder if devs from WG are deaf or wanted to make a funny joke...

Thats pretty much everything for today, have fun in your 'bad' game :)
