Skill4ltu Reacts to NEW Random Events in World of Tanks! 

People don't join the game to play, they come to see the animations :D

I haven't had the chance to play it yet, but I'm cautiously optimistic. They've needed to make these kinds of changes to the maps for a long time, since there are so many static map designs that play out the same way every time. If the random events open up new flanking routes like the ramp on Himmelsdorf, then I love that. But if every random event is an excuse to remove bushes and create chest high walls for heavy tanks to go hull down, that's garbage. They need to benefit ALL the classes, not just hull down meta tanks.

thank you for letting us choose if we want random events or not :)

im looking forward to it too, i think it will make things a lot more interesting and dynamic

Some of the future games will find surprises for the players loosing their tanks in those random map changes, and it will be fun in training rooms.

i did play the random events ......... i liked it . but more maps is also desired ! 😁

"encouraging more active gameplay" just means moving to a different corridor for hulldown cupola sniping

I was waiting long time for them to ruin Prohorovka for spoters, since bots cant use bush mechanics. With last patch they ruined Studzianki as well, which was pretty good spoting map, now its much easier to go in central ditch, as they blocked line of fire with central building changes and adding easy way for hull down play on the south.

Honestly - I would prefer fixes to bigger problems like MM and unbalanced maps as it gets bigger and bigger problem lately in my games. But since it can be disabled, I do not see any problem with it - maybe the only one I can potentially see is that it is basically just another form of help to armored tanks. So I will most likely use this when playing with armored tanks, otherwise I think I will have it disabled, no big deal.

This really brings back memmories of levolution back from battlefield 4. Kinda like it.

I think it's Brilliant having these things happening during a battle. Bring it on - not all the time of course, just every now and again.

I can totally relate to Skill laughing at the fact that if you are in the danger zone, your tank might be destroyed... or not. It would be nice to have this feature but without RNG please. Everything else is very interesting and truly gives a refreshing update to the affected maps, however, I would also love to see completely new maps or even older ones being added again.

iam returning to WoT and i think this is a great change, hope they add night time cycle as well

I literally see someone trying playing in a trainingroom with 15 Maus at Himmelsdorf, and try to block the train xD

I'm still waiting for introducing event in which my teammates use their brains

i swear to you skill i Thought about this these days when i watched planes crash at the start of the battle..."what if, that would be epic" and here it is!!! i am hyped

Im not gonna be able to experience this and try it out for a few more weeks since my pc is down but it seems pretty cool and cant wait to check it out

I really want to see the final moment camera like in wt when you die…

Night maps, weather events from a simple rainfall to a severe thunderstorm, from a simple snowfall to a severe snowstorm/blizzard, etc

Hi Skiiiillll, over the years dezgamez has featured like 12-15ish new ''leaked maps'' on his channel. Also think about all the recon missions gamemodes we have had. Like at least 3 times with 3 maps, meaning 9 new maps for sure. Wonder when we get to see them. Recon missions was legit one of the best additions to the game when it was introduced. Why WG do not feature the gamemode like once every 2-3 months? Its beyond me. Good stuff tho. Excited to see how the meta will evolve around those random events.

Will be great to unlock " you push you loose " maps . . . , wait and see.

I like this but I still remember when they promised 100% destructible buildings xD

"in the middle of the battle" ~ so after like 2 minutes with the current game lengths lol.

If only they would also fix all of the trash maps... there are so many maps that could benefit from changes it is insane

its definitely good stuff its just that they need to polish some animations & transitions. Also this game needs weather & time changes, all maps look the same after playing for few years. Talking about visuals, im annoyed that they did not increase number of shell marks on tanks armor, i would love to look at my maus and see like over 10 non penetrating marks on armor. Computers today are more than capable of handling these types of visual effects.

I played with these changes in the Recon missions, and they actually took some things out on Safe Haven and Prokorhovka. In Safe Haven, they had the plane crashing into the tunnel entrance AND a ship destroying the northern dock passage, so it forced only a the two narrow corridors in the north but kept south wide open. Prokorhovka had two planes, but it was one on each side... left "magic forest" road and the right side hill. Actually, I'm kind of glad they moved the second plane on that one, because digging those entrenched tanks off of the hill was a bigger pain in the *** than it was before, if you can imagine that. Overall, I think it will be a good change to the game. The events were super fun and interesting. It allowed for some very troll moments if you pushed an enemy into the danger zone and stayed out of it. These events are going to be solid.

Seems like it could be really fun. I'm glad they gave us an option to choose. Unfortunately, that means you can't enjoy those select maps without risk of running into a random event. I'd rather they add back older maps that were really fun (the larger ones especially - don't have the names off the top of my head).

Battlefield added this concept in BF4 and it was a fantastic concept. It totally changed the dynamic of the round which is really fun.

I hope the trains, crashing planes, walls, etc, uses physics for the damage so you don't comically blow up if they grace you while they are already stopping.

I like that they've added these events and hope they add more, but I also hope they add new maps and rebalance the current ones. 14% win difference on Mountain Pass is just pitiful, that map literally has a winning spawn now.

I can already see the videos on RU-vid: What happens if you stand in front of the train with a Maus. 😂 I find the update interesting and cool!

They all fine but I'd love to see more like: approaching tornado on Highway destroying part of the city, tsunami on some asian map, and for example some earthquakes that cracks terrain. Hope they will make it into the game soon

Yesterday in Himmelsdorf and in ...hu proporofka ? I was surprised to see theses random event effects. No one expressed astonishment in the chat. I've tried to strike up a conversation about it... " Wouldn't anyone have heard a noise by chance?" no response ! 💤

Just what I need, crap falling out of the sky right onto my tank!!

I still want that tornado to sweep across the map on Highway.

events look amazing i hope we get as many as possible

This will be amazing to break all the camps and stale meta

Need to have maps with random events that promote light tank gameplay, not just heavy tank gameplay.

I hope it'll happen in a balanced manner though. I get the "random" battles aspect but take for example that passage the himmelsdorf zeppelin creates into the heavy flank from the hill, does this happen on both heavy flanks or only on the south spawn? Randomize maps but don't randomize balance any more, it's a competitive game still.

Definitely not going to play with random events, but I'm all up for such changes when you have the option to disable

As short as games are lately, most people may never see a random event even when activated... they really need to fix mm and address the incredibly short gameplay. But whatever.

"This is absolutely glorious". Only if you drive a high mobility tank like a light or a medium. Certainly not if you drive a TD. I dislike how WG focusses on theatrical aspects of the game but there is still such a thing as ghost shells, not to mention being totally depending on good or bad RNG. "If it looks good it sells".

It's epic. I remember something simillar in Battlefield 1. I mean falling Zeppelin when team destreyed it.

This is actually very good

im looking forward to it

I think the variety is definitely good for these maps because everyone already knows the positions, where to go, what to do, what you can do and thus randomly changes the environment, I think it's a good thing

Whether this works or not, it's worth trying and I am giving Wargaming a very rare "thumbs up" for this. It looks great and I hope it works out.

Looks to be awesome

I was waiting for this idea like "they will not do that" and now somebody really does it

I was looking forward to this since I got the chance to play it in the recon missions. There was only one thing I remember not really liking, and that was the dynamic cover (the blocks of concrete that you could destroy with 3 shots), and I am very happy to not hear Wargaming mentioning anything about those in the video. I really like all the changes on the maps (especially those on the heavy-side of Ruinberg), except for the plane crashing into the bunker on Safe Haven, because that doesn't really add anything gameplay-wise, it only takes away, as the heavies just get locked into their positions below the bunker (if they pushed forward) and then they don't really have a way to escape anymore. WG's argument that this reduces crossfire in that specific area mentioned in the video is kinda invalid, because the camping TDs on A1 and B0 will still have clean shots on anybody trying to progress through that area. I would have liked it a lot better if there was a planecrash happening on the other side of the bunker, so that the mediums, if they manage to take the middle of the field, don't have a crossfire on the heavies playing below the bunker anymore. But yeah, that's the only thing that rubs me the wrong way a little bit; other than that, I am really excited for this update. For now, this seems like a rare Wargaming W.

I am a visual geek and that just looks so awesome. Refreshing to see new content for the game like this!

And Airfield needs a tsunami! And Sand River needs a flash flood.

I think this is a great idea, it can really change the scope of a battle. What I don't like - the warning. Just drop that shit out of nowhere. Also, new maps and fixing the maps would be nice.

Looking forward to this, didn't try it during the recon phase .. mostly to not spoil the experience;

Absolutely GLORIUS!

I think there is going to come more. Because all these events accelerate the game. They make a difficult situation go away. And here I thought the game was already too accelerated. Maybe there will be Random events in the future, like a bombing strike that takes away cover and makes a game less easy to progress. For example it destorys a building block on Siegfried line, opening the city to TY crossfire and thus forcing the HT to retreat.

Was waiting for your opinion on this, I totally agree this looks great aa a new wot player this gave me hope lol

I can already see the campers getting parked somewere just waiting for the events and only then start to move for fight xD

Best modification to the test server is that random events can happen OR NOT!!!! What I learned on the test server was that people where static waiting for the vents to rush in to get the new positions. In my feedback I noticed exactly that. They should happen or not! that makes them really worth to be added. Thank you WG for once you listen to player :-)

Very nice. Now also time of day and weather. And +-1 match making 😊

I was just getting out of Hospital when the trial of this was happening :( So I'm excited to try it out.... guess its "almost" like getting a couple new maps ? Now if we can get that New and Improved (larger) Ensk Map I'll be happier :) Almost completely recovered and ready to get back to game and hopefully be able to play more maneuverable tanks :) If I'm stuck with Arty because of my crushed hands I think I'll probably quit playing :( But I'll always be watching SKILL and wishing LOL THANKS Video !! Skill.. PS. got like almost 30 new Premium Tanks I haven't played (Wife n Daughter) bought me while in recovering :)

I played a few battles when this was included in Recon mode. It looks interesting and will break up some of the choke points, I hope. Let's see how they actually implement it.

I would definitely accept if they changed these random events in such a way that the lighting of the map would change due to the weather. I would also accept that it would randomly start to rain and the tanks would go worse on a soft surface and on the asphalt they would slide like on ice. Also, if they added the night itself to the game, as an event, it would be nice. They don't always have to, but let the player get a night for 1/10 of the games.

That's what I need, trying to pay attention to enemy tanks, getting ready to take a shot and BOOM !!!!! a fireball gets my attention and I am the one that gets shot. No thank you WG!!!

Heres a few things....Random maybe interesting, but after 100 games you will know whats gonna happen and for lights you know where to sit to not get hit etc, so its going to get boring after a while. Another thing that bothers me is the enabling and disabling. Its deviding the Players into 2 Sections, which will effect the MM. The MM will have to match those that have it enabled with others who have it disabled as well. Otherwise you can get unlucky and never see this feature, because you keep getting matched with players who have it disabled. If the MM ignores this it just takes 1 Person to have it disabled, to block the experience for the rest. The funniest thing is that they are trying to fix maps this way so that people play it more. All of those maps have either got a balancing Problem or other issues, which makes players not like them. Himmelsdorf is the best example. For me this does not change anything. I will still ban those maps, because those Events dont change anything. Its just more rubble lying around on maps that are already flooded. Its just a poor effort to take away the focus on thier disability to fix this game.

It's great that they try to improve gameplay on maps so we no longer get stuck in just camping.

Random events are going to be a good thing in my opinion! I think they are going to be used to break stalemates that we often face on these maps as we are getting closer to mid/end game (as long as it isn’t a 5-15 simulator). Excited to see what maps and random events they change/add in the future! I would not be opposed to a majority of the maps having a random event.

I think this could be glorious!

"Random" events. Its good thought that they dont always happens. I do like the idea.

After random events all we need next are random commercials and ads in the heat of the battles :)

I havent figured the old configuration out.

I think this will create more creative opportunities to play some of the same old maps in a new ways. Breaks up the predictable ways we have played these maps for years.

About the possibility to filter it, it will be a bad thing for less populated servers, because the MM will struggle to form a battle. But... this is the problem for the less populated servers (in my case, SA server). But I'm enjoying the randomness of those events, during the battle. It may even change the result of the battle. I'm saying about the map, and not about the powercreep of some recently introduced vehicles. Those things are taking out some of the fun, not the maps. And I'm still waiting for the night battles to come. And we want more Grand Battles on the rotation! Can we have Grand Battles on tier 8, also? And/or tier 6? Why only tier 10?

I love it. Now, could they give me a tab in the set up to disable +2 matchmaking?

This will be a good change and I like the implementation of it! Really appreciated that they kept things TOTALLY random on both a will-they-won't they basis as well as deployment times.

I CANT WAIT TO SEE BABOON WATCH EVENTS.

Amazing, i think It can make game more interesting again, i Hope more maps Will come in the future

When you said...if you happened to be in the danger zone, you might be destroyed or, not!!.. depends on RNG # WOT+...I nearly choked while laughing 😂😂..

They should introduce random bush and rock formation in maps, Every time a match is played the map features should change avoiding camping. We need dynamic maps that change every match randomly

looks glorious I like it and will play it

BAD ASS SKIL.......LOV YA BROTHER

I think it was a better investment of time and money in order to fix MM and some of the maps

This could be epic. I left the game 8 months ago but might just come back for a try. Random changes to maps is needed...if these will indeed affect the game. But if the "random events" result in the same changes to each nap then it's meh. If each random event could have 3, 4 or 5 different configurations that would really open it up. Train doesn't crash the same way, bombs knock down different buildings, making new pathways and piles of rubble etc.

Very nice!

Visually the crashes and stuff is really nice, idk if it'll help with gameplay lol

Nice, cant weait to disable the experimental maps and just play my vanilla WOT.

Looks cool. Will we have 60 second games now?

I can't wait and is a welcomed change, it is not mandatory to add new maps, perfect the ones you already own and make them better. Again very excited to try them

wasn't safe haven suppose to have a ship crashing into the boathouse also?

I think it looks good. yea skills I wish they would do a few things like give all heavies booster jets. You said fix mm they have got it fixed on the na server 5 to 15 is how they got it set and it is spot on. I think they could set it to be closer battles.

Now they need to change how map blocking works for Encounter and Assault / Defense. Currently if you block a map it only blocks the standard variant not the others. Do love the random events, it spices up the gameplay.

I cant wait for these, normal boring prok games could turn into something really fun

I'm really looking forward to these random events since I first heard or read about it, and now it is happening. Great and thumbs up. It would be even more random if they would not always occur at the same position of the map. I know this is not easy for the developer, but that would be really random. And I would even go a step further, I would not indicate them with the red smoke. This would open the third dimension in the game and as a player you then not only have to focus on the enemy, but also on the railways and sky, to make sure, that you are not hit by something. Or maybe you should just indicate this on the MAXIMAP 😏 and maybe that way you can "train" the players to use it the way it was meant to be used, looking at what's happening around you.

This is a true gamechanger. I love what they are doing to the game. It was probably hella hard to implement

In himmelsdorf before was boat now only airplane 😂

Looking forward to this new game mechanic at work. I just wish WG would give me the same option to turn off SPG game play as well. I wish I could turn off these top down view clicker cap sitting A holes, flinging turds across the map at me while I'm trying to push heavy line.

I love it even now!

Looks awesome to me. I kind of wish that they would just have a random event happen at the very start that would slightly change the map dynamics and not harm any tanks rather than during the battle though.

This is amazing. Finally some (hidden) changes to the maps. Especially the Himmelsdorf is just bananas! I want these changes on every map. This should make more creativity in a game.

Outstanding.
