- With everything in life, there needs to be a balance. Right now, World of Tanks has a content overflow, and it's getting a little overwhelming to understand what is going on.

For full disclosure, the loot boxes I was opening in the background of the video were given to me by Wargaming (100 in total). I was going to record speaking about the subject of this video while opening them live, but ended up with audio issues. Overall, there is good content going in, but it needs to be spread out more in future. Let me know how you feel in the comments!

I still wish we had an option to delete all the extra fluff (decals, flags, camos, etc.) that we got “for free” and just let us delete it. I dont care if i can sell it for credits. Just let me delete the crap i dont want so i dont have to sift through it all to use the stuff i do want to us.
"Overflow of content" sounds like a euphemism for a backed up toilet.
Well most of the content is shit so....
Wow you've described WoT perfectly.
Wg could sell frozen dog poop molded into the form of a tank and the community would drop 10k gold and would sell out in 3 min. It’s the players enabling wgs greed
You can't gaslight the community into believing that it's responsible for over consumerism. If WG don't offer the constant sales and FOMO events; the playerbase will just anticipate actual limited time events effectively like seasonal passes. It's another reason for me that WoT is in Twilight hours; the game is as good as it can be for terms of the gameplay and mechanics; but the sales manipulation and short sightedness of the strategy is what is driving this game into severe decline.
I don't agree with Max's opinion that Black Market's success is down to the players buying into it - Gambling Addiction is literally a crippling mental health issue; and it shows in this game. Who feasibly goes out of their way to spend so much for such limited gain, and when WG realise they probably could have charged even more - then you'll realise there's no moral limit to their designs and basically the easiest way out is to just let the game decline; and the original developers who aren't afraid of stepping away from WG and making their own game with a different design - we'll all be back to playing a Tank based shooter in 5+ years time.
@@RobotsGreatWar2 If you got yourself FOMO'd over time limited events, its your fault. Because, you know its not worth it and you drop 100k gold or 40m credits for that one tank. You do not use Mental health as a reason to justify your gambling addiction. Don't patronize mental health and cripples for your shitty argument. The better statement is both sides is at fault, the playerbase are freaking stupid buying into WG's shitty tactiics and WG feeding off of it. It's a brutal cycle so if you want to break out of it, YOU BREAK OUT OF IT because WG is still a business making profit off of your stupid ass decisions. That's like saying I'm inherently Lactose Intolerant so I'm going to buy Dairy products FULLY KNOWING YOU ARE Lactose Intolerant. It's fucking stupid.
Sounds like the K-91-V2 right there 😂
Warthunder has same problem now. They're just shitting out events and vehicles (most recycled sidegrades) and now want to introduce auctions! Just copying WoT predatory monetization because it simply works.
I totally agree with you! I didn't even know about the discount period & missed it because it was crammed into so many other events i just lost track & had no idea that was on! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️Ffs! I could have gotten more tanks & consumables but nah missed it! Hope they do that again down the line!
Those boxes... totally not worth it.
If you need 5x games and the credit boosters, it could be worth it imo, otherwise I agree
@@brandonean Got absolute garbage tanks just wanted 2 got non
Totally agree, we are getting way too many new tanks and mechanics into the game while old vehicles and maps are receiving minimal rebalancing that cant keep up the pace with the new content.
"Overflow of content" - I would honestly not mind deleting 100 tanks if it meant we'd get 5 new maps.
I feel you... same thing happening in world of warships, except it's even worse. reason why I almost stopped playing. don't have enough time to follow the whole thing, it's exhausting
Honestly, this is what killed my FOMO over the years.
These Chinese lootboxes would have killed me 8-10 years ago. Id be digging through couch cushions looking for money.
The flood has been so bad that now Im going "Meh" at almost everything. I just don't care...
...except for my W-100. Lol. 2024 was the first year I wasn't traveling for work and i got to spend a few rental days with my old TD for the first time in a decade... and WG sold it for 100k gold. 🤬😂🤬😂🤬😂
Greed has no limits when fed by a moronic community that doesn't care about game health. Does any of this content improve game balance and fun factor. Nope.
Shamrock boxes are also around the corner.
I feel like WG adds way too much lootboxes and too many new and OP premiums in them, and everything costs a lot of money
Also a 3D premium doubles overflow.
funny thing is that they did a full circle in regards of those special edition tanks, at first, the original "trinity" of patriot, liberte and defender were standalone tanks, with their basic versions of e5, m4 49 and 252u released later, then they switched to releasing those styles through the 3d style like bourrasque, 50tp prototype, cs52 lis, and now they are back at it releasing the two seperate versions which is just greed, imagine having all the regular tanks in the black market (progetto, su130, kpz, and so on), and then buying the package which contains (randomly) the forest spirit, mars...
Unfortunately WG could just make a campaign with 3 tanks (tier 6-8-10 or 7-9-10, heck maybe even make a campaign tech tree 6-7-8-9-10) and have content for 3 months at least, instead they are just too focused on monetization...
Ive been thinking this exact thing for sometime now. This constant overflow of new content has me burnt out. No opportunity to just simply enjoy the grind (if thats even possible lol).
I don't play much but when I do I have no idea what's going on in the game for a long time. Very good video
To many events - like way to many over lapping and way to many new tanks in the game. All we ask for is some new maps. We get none :(
You are absolutely right. Far too much happening. I like a couple weeks of downtime(relaxing play time). For the last couple of years I have felt bombarded with way too much content(Battlepass, Battlepass, and more Battlepass) as well as other content and I can't keep up with it. Too many tanks being introduced(costly clones). We have other things on our agenda. I enjoy WOT. But, give me a break. Well said, Maxgaming, Well said.
Credit boosters were free, and they didn't expire, this game became a FIFA and Wargaming became EA, they don't do events anymore, they don't bring back the old maps that we want, everything is buying loot boxes, even if you are a partner, show the reality of the game, the imbalance of the old tanks to the new ones, the ridiculous matchmaking, the maps getting smaller and with horrible shooting exchanges where the battle lasts 3 minutes, you are the key and the beginning for everything to change!
I honestly think that the problem isn’t having all of these events, so much as these events are not FUN. Arcade cabinet is fun but hardly gives rewards, black market is very expensive, lunar new year is just to sell boxes. I think it would be so much better if the events included interesting gameplay and decent credits.
Also no real announcements and timers in game - you have to look outside of the game to not be surpised by them the day they start.
@ yep
Also it's rumored on February 20th the assembly shop is coming out again
While I do understand that WG loot boxes, buying BP, etc is classic WG greed. I don’t seen any problem with the contents lately.
Lets say you are a casual player and there is an onslaught, BP going on at the same time, you could just finish the weekly for onslaught while leveling up your BP. If your weekly with onslaught is done, you could grind the new tank if you wanted to while again leveling up the BP.
Serpentine event gives some cred buffs, xp, premium days, etc.
While yes WG is baiting people their money, at the same time if you do have discipline you are reaping rewards by these contents without cashing out money and just by playing the game.
Some of my friends who do not spend any money in the game happily plays the game when there’s always stuff like these as they tend to get rewards just by playing the game.
The major problem is the player base itself that does not have self discipline and will just point a finger on WG.
You said it yourself, the T9 tank base price is 500K, people rose it up to absurd amount of price. That alone says it all.
Title perfectly captures current problem. Number of new tanks alone is rediculous, then there was BP, Snowball thing and Onslaught all at same time, Aaaarrrrgh!
There’s a content overflow problem in WoT and everyone is going whine about it and they should. But everyone is also going to partake in the overflow problem so in reality everyone can just shut up about it because you’re all enabling it. Take a stance and stick to it, otherwise you’re just a part of the problem and trying to profit off of it. You’re no better than WG if you do so.
On top of all this they should finally nerf the Progetto 65, because it is too popular.
And maybe they could remove some more maps.
And we desperately need even more Russian tanks!
World of tanks needs to have competition in order to stop WG greed
And new tanks in loot boxes... You are so right. Sadly, other CCs don't talk about it.
It's good that we have so much content but at what price... I forgot when the bug with ghost shells started and we still have it... not to mention the fact that arilery is impossible to play because of this bug that simply doesn't even show you where the projectile ends up... all in all, I'd rather have no more bugs than events.
I tend to agree. I have a normal, 8 to 5 job, and there are two things I don't like:
1) When events overlap - for example you have Onslaught and then they slap Waffentrager on top of that. Why not plan it so there is Onslaught, then a week break and then Waffentrager?
2) Some events (like the Rambo battle pass) I just can't really participate - There is no way I will be able to get to stage 50 in 2 weeks (or so) so I just ignore it. Auction that starts at 10 am. Why in the morning? Why not at 8 pm, when people are actually at home?
TLDR: content good, timing bad
been playing wot for 9 years now, i have never spent a dime on it. its a great game, can always come back to play after a hiatus and for an old man i can hold my own with players. im about to head to the cabin for 3 weeks. no wot, cant wait..
This video will age like fine wine, they just announced a new battlepass and a new patch. Its already live on the test server :D.
I agree with you about the black market issues. We love to shit on WG for the extreme amount of monetized content they release, yet, besides WG running the event (and obviously they will, they're a company out to make money), we were the ones who all bought the WT E100 for $350 or 100k gold if we already had that much lying around, and drove up the competitive bid on the K91-2 from 500k credits to around 40 million. My main problem with the black market was the fact that WG used FOMO tactics by only offering 3k Waffles per server (idk if it was less on NA).
Edit: Don't forget we have St. Patrick's day lootboxes and CEO of WG's birthday lootboxes coming up in the next few months!
Totally totally totally agree... I dont know if I am meant to go to twitch to get drops, play the snake, play onslaught or up till recently play the rambo missions they are so overlapped I give up...
It is getting silly. The game is saturated with events at the moment. I used to complain about clan wars either going on for too long or clashing with another competitive event.
Now I'm a casual player whose logs in about once or twice a week. There's no way I can keep up with all of this. At least Onslaught is going on for a longer period and gives everyone a chance to to progress.
This was a really good take on things
Played the first couple of days of the Woodsnake event then gave up. Shocking MM and without a premium account just losing credits. Shame I missed the trade in, was saving bonds to exploit the Alpine Tiger trade-in value, but them's the breaks. Good luck with inevitable upcoming Paddy's Day event/loot boxes. :)
There's so much going on I no longer care to pay attention or spend real world money. I'll pick up the consumables at a discount, that's it. If there's a battle pass going on or something else that unlocks as I play regularly fine but I stopped hunting and clicking around. I got a life.
Does anyone remember when the Berlin map introduction was a big moment to look forward to with an epic trailer, music and teaser game play? I was only about a year into the game and that was probably the most exciting and anticipated event WOT has given me as a player. I thought that was going to be a big part of playing this game (which I find beautiful btw) new maps with exciting music and new game play maybe 2-3 times a year. Nope, I think there have been two actual new maps put into randoms since Berlin in 2021, or was it 2020? I’ve done all the recon missions, filled out their damn surveys, and what have we gotten from those concept maps? That’s right - JACK. But hey, we’ll sell you some new recycled tank in a bunch of loot boxes no one needs roughly every 10-12 weeks now. There’s so much shit going on in the game currently I actually missed the equipment and consumables sale this past week because I just kind of gloss over all the news when I play and that pisses me off. I’m out of food for the tanks I play the most and could use a couple of new pieces of equipment for the lines I’ve yet to grind.
Sadly, I actually like the Onslaught mode, but hate playing with all the idiots on NA. Please explain to me why anyone would play Onslaught in a Patton, FV, or STRV or really most any medium other than the CS63, Obj 430U, K91 or the autoloaders???? Nobody should ever play a light tank unless they really know what they’re doing and how to mix it up and deal damage. Also the maps that are altered for Onslaught make the game so much better - maybe introduce those into the random queue as well.
I’m pretty sure most players would be ecstatic with 2-3 new or reworked maps/yr, 1 market, the battle pass events we already have, a couple of new tank lines per year, a couple of marathons, Frontline, Halloween, and Holiday ops. Does anyone play Steel Hunter? If you’re going to introduce new premiums, maybe do less but make them more interesting and don’t introduce any new sniping TDs - the clowns who just want to sit in a bush and wait for one tank to drive into their view range and die, already have enough options to choose from.
Around my way, Thames Water often have an "Overflow of Content", and strangely enough it is of similar material, ..... not pleasant on a hot day!
Totally agree! It's just too much right now!!!
When I've learned about these boxes, I was like "wtf, again?". They are trying sell as much stuff, as they can, since players have proven with black market (which was the most uninteresting from all of black markets so far) they are gonna buy everything, and for a lot.
The simpler, the better. I do not care about novelties, just pick my old panthers and Mutz and have a good time.
Just ignore it. I run a premium account and buy the odd battle pass. The rest is all bollocks.
Is that anything like cow pies?🤔
I stopped playing because University studies burn an insane amount of my time, but when I see what's happening in the game right now, my situation is far more better 😂
Its just too much. WG thinks we all have no IRL
Just wanted to point out that the reason WG is starting the Lunar New Year event on 28th Jan is because the Lunar New Year falls on 29th Jan this year, so it can’t really be pushed back much further. Since the date of Lunar New Year changes each year, sometimes falling in January and other times in February (like next year on 17th Feb), overlaps with other events are inevitable.
But I do agree-there’s been so much content recently that it’s hard to keep track of everything! Could have move things like the arcade cabinet to some time later.
You are right!! You had arcade cabinet, Onslaught, and a Rambo BP!!! People don't have time to stay all day playing, plus Black Crap Market! WG are assholes they jsut pump content so you have to buy it because you don't have the time to spend!
100% agree, WoT right now feels like working 9-15
When the Rambo Battle pass ended and WG shifted to the Lunar New Year garage I pretty much stopped playing. I check in each day and if a mission pays out with bonds I'll play until I get them and then stop. The night time garages like Lunar New Year and the one where it was dark and raining all the time are depressing and made me feel like not playing! I didn't even want to visit for a look at what's new. While the "Doom and Gloom" look appeals to younger people it certainly doesn't inspire older folks who have the most disposable cash to spend. That's something WG needs to consider when changing the looks of our garage!
its exhausting
WTE E100 stayed for 3.5 minutes on EU? Bruh, I couldn’t even buy it on NA, it was gone in 10 seconds , whoever had a slow connection , to load the interface just lost 5 seconds , clicking on those prompts just took you another 3 seconds . And by the time you realized what’s happening the auction just closed .
well, you are their audience:)
Sounds like a you problem. Dont buy in to their greed and maybe things would change.
They stopped with the mission marathon tanks cause they know people fall for FOMO when they do black market events or loot boxes. They know they can inflate the price and earn more buy putting them in auctions than having to make a 10 day event with possible discounts or even having to give the tank away for free. Don’t buy into the scam
This is the new games generation mentality, nothing we can do, so just evade ur self buying this things, bc the company won’t do or heard anything we say😢😢😢
This game is like a job, but you pay your company and work 8-12 hours.
Totally agree, plus the fact that the Rambo battle pass was way too short. Unless you devote most of your free time to that or have little or no life, it's a pain in the ass. I guess you could use your vacation time from work? 😅
Didnt realise there was no gold in them dogshit boxes...
It's absolutely relentless at the moment. Would be lovely to have a couple of weeks miserably grinding something. Also all these events with the daily missions usually create pretty selfish game play which then affects everyone.
This is the issue I have with WOT ….for a casual player who likes to dip in its hopeless..I never know where to start or how menus, rewards and random commanders work…let alone which tank is best …and then there is the grind. This is from someone who has played well over 4 years and 2,000 hours of World of Warships which has a similar template…and is itself disappearing under layers of complexity. Why can’t developers stick to the basics of a good accessible game…BF1 is still great after years of no development for example whereas COD is so complicated now it’s unplayable.
We get like 6 new tanks a month it’s exhausting
Agreed , I think It would be fine if all of this was one at a time. And not multiple things going at once
I'm SO proud that the NA server, despite having a fraction of the amount, had a highest bid for the k-91-2 be like 7 Million
Got the Rambo for 4k gold and not regretting it, better tank than from those boxes and cheaper. Who got Rambo put like.
World of Premium Tanks should be the name of this game. What is WG thinking by introducing premium after premium (and let's not talk about the boxes), this game is going down the hill quick with all the Pay to Play content, I feel sorry for those who pay hundreds for pixels when clearly this company doesn't have a clear direccion nor creativity to keep their players entertained. I am really disappointed and worried about this game's future, this has become a loop of the same. We need the good old events back and new future events...
The tanks are great in the boxes. But honestly I rather just buy them for $35 rather than gamble and get some useless resources.
Companies really saw the success of Genshin Impact and try to replicate it.
Yeah, i grinded my way through holiday ops, got insta bombed with rambo pass, onslaught, arcade, black market and serpent stuff.... its overwhealming, i cant play everything......
If u think WoT has an oveflow problem, then go check what the hell is happening on lesta's Mir Tankov
Bro. You should try warships. There’s like 10 shady predatory events going on at once 😂
End of the day it’s a business and no one forces you to buy the boxes. Do they make money out of it? Of course they do, it’s their job. The question should be: is it fun? If players keep coming, then it suggests that it is still fun indeed. You can always stop. I’d rather put out suggestions on how to make it even more fun. But the money making part of it, that’s essential to the existence of any game.
fully agree with you on everything you say!!!
You even forgot another short snowball event, at the beginning of the month 😁
To be honest, I don't mind spending in the game, and buying a decent amount of boxes. For the tanks, more than anything else. It's just too much at the moment.
he mentioned it, it is called The Arcade Cabinet.
Greed has no limits
Just another money grab............ what about New maps, Longer game times, Better balance?, No more hull down corridor maps........... All of these issues desperately need addressing before I start playing the game on regular basis again.
Why give people a break when you can print more money? Honestly so tired of this approach by gaming companies
I started playing this game literally 2-3 weeks ago and I'm so confused with all the currencies, tanks, boosters, events etc.
Even listening to you summerize all the events in a video where I can pause and rewind makes my head hurt.
Is this the way the game is and always have been? Imma quit faster then my cleaning lady did if thats the case :'D
WoT for the sake of new content and mechanics transformed into a tank design boureau.
i had a lot of fomo today and was about to buy some boxes but in the end im not going to get any anymore
Bought 10 Lunar boxes - no tanks. Yes, too much going on at the same time.
Congrats, you're the reason WG acts like this
@@grzybowy1680 Not really. By WG I should be buying a lot more, at least 50 - to get mandatory tank.
BRUH, players complain that WG is giving us too much content, but when WG is really going to close the game and in its last months of life there is nothing at all, players are going to celebrate? I don't understand
I have quite a few tanks that I havent had time to play yet.
There is no new content. It's the 2025 edition of the 2024 events with different topics at most. WOT is simply stuck in old things. PS: The New Year boxes were never worthy. They never included gold, so, why bother with that thing that only fuels WG's already demented greed?
I guess WG couldn't control when China has its New Year. Maybe they should have celebrated it less.
They only fking add premium tanks. No new map redesigns like on PC or better physics, not even upgraded graphics!!. Everytime I quit for a year and I come back to find out the game has gotten worse and nothing new is done
Only a small number of the player base bought the WT E 100. A lot of people unwilling to spend that amount of wonga will have complained
It was insane they sold you a tank I had in my garage at one time by grinding the damn thing. Loot boxes with no gold is a scam. Just pay cash for a premium. They are simply milking the player base when they should be creating new maps, creative maps, no the same 3 lane battle maps.
only a small number, because only a small number were sold, 3000 and they sold out in 3 minutes
I dont care, I will play as much as I want. They can have 134 events at the same time - I can ignore them all
New content should improve GAME EXPERIENCE and include things like: updated engine sounds, enhanced terrain physics, amphibious tanks like the Sheridan and Excalibur crossing bodies of water, Raumpfanzers digging trenches, and SPGs requiring anchoring before firing, gun barrel collision...
WoT has a greed problem. ✡️
I thought I was the only one struggling to keep up with everything, I can’t play everything that’s going on properly, this is mad , I haven’t time to just play the game properly 😡
To be fair I kinda like this atm, But I can understand its just so much at the same time.
If i already have skoda and AAT60 do i get a gold compensation if i find those tanks in these new boxes ?
How it works ? thanks
I disagree that with the k-91 the playerbase was the problem. They gave only 5555 tanks for the only f2p auction for like 200k players. This was bound to happen and wg damn well knew this would happen if they are not completely oblivious and out of touch. If there is no supply and this is the only auction for silver, prices will skyrocket. To say it is the players fault is a bit of victim blaming in my opinion.
i have been feeling like this for years now. there is not just too much of everything, but it is also overlapping and not just 2 events, but 3 and 4 at the same time:)
i would like to see a new light tank line, a normal light tank line, without any gimmicks, it does not have to be the best, it should be better that the wz and more of a light tank line, than the US line, but just normal tanks to play normal random games with:) and that is another problem with all the new lines, there are no normal tanks any more, they all have to have some dumbäss gimmick stapled onto it's forehead. ffs, why, do people really want only newnewnew stuff? but, as we can see, players are eating it all up, so, wot has room for more:)
At this point its the players fault honestly. I mean if you keep eating all the dung at the pace the community did this season, of course Wargaming is gonna shovel it double time on our faces
If only players would stop buying the prem stuff for a while and demand better MM and maps...
great video info, No gold in boxes means no $$$$ for war gaming from me.... I'll buy the "Erich" whenn it reaches the store ... it will be cheaper .
Overflow content? Rather, I would say like a drug addict who asks for more and more until his greed destroys him... only that this case is about money.
Nice background music,btw spending money for this boxes was stupidest waste of money i got only few premium days some credits and personal reserves.
And the only content we are not getting are new maps...
they are working on a old map that they are planning to release in 2025. its a swamp map
i just want new maps without invisible walls and bullshit corridors
Content creep but Tigermaus cheeks = 300mm while Maus cheeks = 260mm.... seems plausible 🤔
Whats the point of all this "content" if it's locked behind a pay wall.
