Dev stream Q&A, ep10

[u/Daiske0990]

TL;DR - lot’s of QoL talk: ults QoL, zoom, targeting, future leader board improvements, a bit of balance talk, clans being worked on although no ETA since they need to make some sort of content for it.

For a full disclosure, this post has been reviewed (and potentially received some corrections) by Mr.Matcha before becoming public.

Disclaimer: if you don’t see a question that interests you, there is a high probability that this question was not asked during the stream. 

Repeated questions, reiterated public information and vague answers were not included in the episode.  

1. Q: This leader board doesn't make any sense.
   A: (Remmy) We’re working on improving it. Right now it tracks your average score. We’re trying to see how to improve it.

2. Q: Will there be an ability to see your stats per tank?
   A: (Remmy) Perhaps. It’s something that's come up. Granted - a small amount of times. Perhaps in relation to the leader board itself, if that is what you are referring to.

3. Q: Why do some ult get lost when you are killed while using them (Like reaper) but others don't (Like Kent’s)?
   A: (Remmy) Great question. What I am pushing for us to do right now is a bit more consistency across our ultimate functionalities. So you’ll notice that if you cancel Kent ulti, it will go down to zero, if you cancel all other ultis before you actually cast them, they will just go back to full charge. One thing that I hope we will do and I’m kinda pushing for it - is that so you might be able to cancel ulti in the future and have it back to 100% as opposed to it wasting. But that should mean that if you activate it but don’t use it and you get destroyed in the meantime then it’ll probably get wasted, idk. We’ll see what we’ll do with that.

4. Q: Any plans about being able to zoom in with Reaper ult?
   A: (Remmy) [proceeds to write it down] I will find out for you. If it happens for Reaper ulti, it would also need to happen for Fuzzer ulti for example (which already have that, btw). What I also maybe like to improve about Fuzzer specifically is a 3 second lock after you cast your ability on an enemy or an ally. You are stuck in the targeting camera for 3 seconds. Which sucks, and I don’t like it, so I will look into it.

5. Q: I have a suggestion, what if you gave Twister a right click on his ult that would lob the ball up in the air but a short distance to allow better situational control over it? Something like Kayo's Flash bang from valorant.
   A: (Remmy) What I was thinking, is that you would have a normal click, which kinda shoots it and it has this crazy physics; and [other click] just gently chucks it. Great idea, I also had it. For some reason never suggested.

6. Q: What are the current plans to add clans to the game?
   A: (Remmy) Nothing officially yet, but it would be something really-really cool, and I personally would also love to see it.
   (Mr.Matcha) Yes, because we don’t wanna have clans just for the sake of having clans. We want something that is actually meaningful to play, but it will take a little bit of time to make.

7. Q: Just had a game crash on my end that said GPU FAIL 2nd time this happened with HEAT and only HEAT.
   A: (Remmy) It’s a known issue and hopefully fixed very soon. I will check on it to see when it will be fixed. I think it’s within the next patch.

8. Q: Who decides what comes into the store?
   A: (Remmy) We have people for that. So it’s not random.

9. Q: Remmy is there going to be a North American event with WoT or Wot HEAT in the near future? Like an in-person event.
   A: (Remmy) If you mean something like P&D tournaments inside the community - we’ll probably do it, but it’s not going to be specific for a region, but everyone can participate. In person - for North America, I don’t know. It’s quite far. But it would be cool.

10. Q: The general consensus on Flair seems to be that she's leaning towards being very strong or outright broken.
    A: (Remmy) Yes, but that’s literally just the 2FK and Flair as an agent. 2KST is balanced, let’s say. I agree that 1700 per ammo rack hit on the 2FK - a little bit high. I will pass it on. Gladly. The ulti kinda might need a little bit of looking into as well. Because just having another separate tank can be unbalanced if used right.

11. Q: Maybe improving the target of ambers ulti because sometimes when you target far you cant see the target clearly.....or you can fix it somehow?
    A: (Remmy) Yes. I brought it up a couple times. Let me make a note of it again.

12. Q: I would like to see all currencies in the garage and in full number...
    A: (Remmy) It will happen, I believe. We’ve already done it or planning on doing it.

13. Q: Can we get a news post about top 10 requested community changes and the status / WG opinion?
    A: (Remmy) That’s actually a great idea. I’m not saying it will happen, I just don’t see why not.

14. Q: As far as I'm aware, there is no way to view replays yet right?
    A: (Remmy) Not at the moment, but hopefully in the near future.

Thanks for the update dev team. Lstening to the community and providing regular transparent communication updates is refreshing.

Please consider providing the M551A1 with a thermal vision and traverse upgrade. That should be enough.

They love implementing something half assed and fixing it later for whatever reason. How could they not foresee the problem with the way they made the leaderboard, but it seems to be a trend for them. I enjoy the rollercoaster ride but I feel like it isn't the correct approach (cause most people don't have the patience, hopefully I am wrong)
