Vandalism from Google's IP

ValleyEdits (a twitter bot that tweets Wikipedia edits from Silicon Valley IPs) has been picking up on the repeated vandalism from one of Google's IP addresses, mostly of someone changing the box art to a cartoon of a pig called "Shit.jpg" today I reverted one of them before a wikibot caught it, (my IP is 98.27.4.168, because I forgot to log in). I don't know if many editors follow this account, but I think someone higher up should pay attention to this IP. Sorry if I'm not sounding like a proper Wikipedian in this post.

Hi

I was just wondering why is the penetration of the IS 8's biggest gun higher then the penetration of the IS 7's. this is pathetic because the IS 7 can't penetrate anything. Everything penetrates him.

Please do something about this. oh and WOT really made a mistake adding the KV-85 (bad move making the KV-1S a tier 5).

WoT Blitz question

Hi,

I was wondering if I could talk more into detail about Blitz. I think it should get a new page, as its a completely different version then the PC one. Should I just add on more detail in Blitz's subsection?

Lockheedfwmusic (talk) 05:31, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

I'd say add to the Blitz sub-section, and if a move to a separate page is needed at a later time somebody will do it. TheWizardOfAhz (talk) 15:37, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

MMO aspects

This article refers to World of Tanks as an MMO on a number of occasions, I suspect because the developer has been trying to brand it that ever since World of Warcraft was still a high profile game, however WoT has none of the traits of an MMO. There is no persistent part of the game world, there are just a handful of small maps like in any shooter, player count is limited to 30 people per game, and the only instance where more than that can meet is in chat channels. This is no more an MMO than IRC is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:1811:9D2F:9900:100F:4259:97BD:6C82 (talk) 11:31, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Old argument. It meets every requirement for being an MMO. TheWizardOfAhz (talk) 15:32, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Please elaborate. How is this an MMO and any other shooter like Battlefield, Call of Duty, Counter-Strike is not? WoT doesn't offer anything else. And for that matter, is any moderately popular multiplayer game an MMO then? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:1811:9D2F:9900:100F:4259:97BD:6C82 (talk) 19:56, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Okay, firstly keep in mind that MMO is - at the core - a relatively meaningless term, and that only a thin line separates it from those other games you gave as examples. This is a known issue with the term.

Basically what is generally accepted as qualifying for being an MMO is that it be "massive" (which is a relative term that doesn't help matters), but WoT seems to qualify in this matter because it has thousands of players logged in at any given time. It is "Online", certainly, and is "multiplayer" as well.

So, like I said: Relatively vague and meaningless.

What seems to be currently accepted as the defining point is that some element of persistence be present. Counter-Strike, for example, has zero persistence. Once a match is done, all the guns, ammo, upgrades, etc are lost and reset for the next round. Whilst in WoT, the tanks you own persist between log-in sessions, as does the ammo, consumables, crew XP, etc.

Even over on the Wiki MMO page itself there is debate as to what exactly the term means, but WoT does meet all the criteria as currently established. TheWizardOfAhz (talk) 21:44, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

CSGO, BF4 and COD all have some sort of experience system to grind through in order to achieve either higher levels of combat, better guns and equipment, new skills or a combination thereof. It's the same degree of persistence. CS has the least of it. Tanks is has nothing to do with an MMO, simply because whether there are 250 or 500000 players online concurrently, no more than 30 are ever in the same game together. WoW is an MMO because it's capable of having thousands of players in one spot in the actual game, able to see and interact with eachother.

Besides that, CSGO has a sort of economy for trading weapons, whereas in WoT, no resource whatsoever can be traded or transferred anywhere from an account. Even on that level most shooters qualify better for the term than tanks does. I keep going on about shooters because I don't really play any other genre, but there's also a bunch of MOBAs that persist loads of items and stats and have economies, strategy games, GTA V is the whole package according to that definition. Why is it that only WoT and its wiki page seem to want to appropriate the label?2A02:1811:9D2F:9900:100F:4259:97BD:6C82 (talk) 22:05, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Nobody refers to those other games as MMOs, do they? I agree that those other games also fit the MMO criteria, but I don't see any sources calling the games as such.

And WoT is referred to as an MMO pretty much everywhere, not just here on Wiki.

An odd reference to it as an MMORPG: http://www.mmorpg.com/mobile/games.cfm?game=544&ismb=1

Calls it an MMO: http://mmohuts.com/game/world-of-tanks

Even the Blitz version is called an MMO in the Android store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.wargaming.wot.blitz&hl=en

Another site calling it an MMO: http://www.cinemablend.com/m/games/World-Of-Tanks-MMO-Due-Out-This-Fall-22915.htmlhttp://www.onrpg.com/games/world-of-tanks/

And another: http://www.onrpg.com/games/world-of-tanks/

The main problem with this argument is that MMO is a relatively undefined term, but those against applying the term to certain games always argue as if tbe term was clearly defined - it isn't. The stipulation that a huge, persistent world must be in place where all players can see each other is basically arbitrary - there is no consensus on a definition that includes this, and the Wikipedia MMO page itself also states such.If you really want to make a difference here go and debate it on the MMO Wiki page. TheWizardOfAhz (talk) 05:12, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Note: I am not a gamer and have never played WoT or any MMO, so please forgive me for any false assumptions.

Regarding the question of whether WoT is an MMO, the current article says:

World of Tanks has implemented a never-ending campaign with Clan Wars unfolding on the Global Map. The Global Map with a particular part of the Earth has been introduced and split into certain provinces. Clans, which consist of players with a maximum of up to 100 members, fight over these provinces on the overworld through specialized World of Tanks game battles. A clan must have a minimum of 15 members to participate in Clan Wars.

Currently, each region in which World of Tanks is based (i.e. North America, Russia etc.) has access only to a limited section of the globe which they can strive to conquer, with the Russian server having the largest amount of territory due to the bulk of the player base existing within that country. In the course of time however, other continents will be added so there will be the opportunity to dominate the entire world.

That sounds a lot like an MMO to me. Is there a limit to how many clans there can be in a region or a limit to how large a region can be? --Guy Macon (talk) 14:05, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Officially, World of Tanks is a MMOTPS, or "Massive Multiplayer Online Third Person Shooter." So calling it an MMO would be appropriate. Kitsunedawn (talk) 08:48, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

I think persoanlly that the more interesting term could/would be to use MMORPG and debate what criteria WoT meets or fails in that regard. I can see, and agree with that WoT is an MMO. but as an RPG is concerned the ball might roll diferently. Personally I think it meets some of the RPG assets because as said: your retain your vehicles, in-game you 'assume a role' in that you being a specific tank that has unique features to it (ie. lots of HP like many German heavies, Tiger I & Tiger II tanks.) Furthermore you earn XP which not only trains your crew, but allows you to acquire better modules for the tank (stronger guns, better engines etc.) These are my 2 cents. 195.109.63.17 (talk) 07:00, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Let's create a new term for it: MMORPSG >> Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Shooter Game. I wouldn't specifically say it's a Third Person necesarily as you can zoom in close enough to make it show as a first person, especially when viewing through the scope. 195.109.63.17 (talk) 07:05, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Golden Joystick awards

Hello, I noticed the Golden Joystick Awards are mentioned in this article.Iirc WG massively bribed their playerbase to participate in the voting by offering huge bonuses to their players if WoT wins the Golden Joystick.

They refrained from offering these bonuses the following year (external pressure?) and unsurprisingly WoT did not win an award that year.

In my opinion only the bribery of their playerbase made them get a Golden Joystick and I feel the article wouldn't suffer from highlighting this issue.

http://worldoftanks.com/en/news/pc-browser/17/golden-joystick-victory-ours/

As you can tell from the link, they promised a reward in case they win. The combined amount of bonuses offered was unprecedented in its scope.

Page protection.

Per Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#World of Tanks this article has been semi-protected for one week due to vandalism. Could some of you editors who are familiar with the subject read through the article and get rid of any errors that might have been missed during the multiple vandalism reverts? For example, in June the article said "...platoons, groups of two or three players who are put into the same match" but it now says "...platoons, groups of two to five players who are put into the same match". Was that a legitimate change or something a vandal slipped in?

Here are the changes made since the end of June:[1] I am pretty sure the gamespot reference now has an incorrect title. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:31, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

I think there's still something of a problem with the page, in that the "World of Tanks Blitz" section really does not cover enough of the differences between the two games. For example, due to the touch screen type control system, artillery aren't present in Blitz. There's a few other graphical differences as well, which might bear mention. I'd say expanding the Blitz section would be helpful as well. Kitsunedawn (talk) 08:46, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

• Support per nom. Do not see the need of having a separate article for this version of the game. AdrianGamer (talk) 13:56, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
• The compelling reason is that the 360 version has its own development history and over a dozen of its own reviews. The port should certainly be mentioned in the main WoT article (as a summary), but the 360 article has plenty of detail from secondary sources that need not be mentioned in the main article.

Not a reason to state that there is OS X support, since there is no native support for the binaries.

Section "Playstation 4"

"As with the PC, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 versions, the major features of the game, such as the UI, game mechanics, and gameplay are synced across all of the platforms, however there is no cross-platform play."

That is pure bullshit. The UI was never "synced", but recreated in a similar fashion. More importantly, the game is identical on Xbox and PS4, running on the same servers using the same software. According to an unWP:RS, they even run cross-platform (but are not allowed to publish due to restriction by at least one of the platform owners). 91.10.15.123 (talk) 01:45, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Searching around, the best video-game related source I found was this one which is listed as a reliable source on WP:VG/S.

@SNAAAAKE!!: The userbase section is by and large in large not appropriate - VG247 is listed as an unreliable source on WP:VG/S, the stuff about "this is an increase from X" is original research, also have a look at what you're restoring - One of the paragraphs, the "as of December 2013" one, goes on to repeat itself in its entirety, same sources and everything. The other stuff I removed is largely because most of it is simply sourced to the developer website itself. The last paragraph mentioning its revenue and so on might be relevant, but it's so outdated. All of this stuff is, as you correctly tagged it. Lastly, all of this stuff taking up an section of its own seems problematic as well, which is why I took the latest number that had reliable sources and put it in the lead of the article, because branching off stuff like this to a separate, non-standard category(i.e outside of the lead, Plot, Gameplay, Reception, Development, etc) is to be avoided.

Yes, but the section still has all the problems I detailed. Without third-party sources, it's not appropriate to simply cite the developer website for numbers like this without any indication of how or why they are notable. The second paragraph cites gamershell to prop up one such number, but gamershell is listed on WP:VG/S (for real this time) as unreliable. The second part, the Guinness records thing seems barely notable as I explained above, and it is being propped up by a link to the developer. Lots of primary sources for all of these numbers, only VG247 turned out to be rebliable. I would start by removing the numbers only sourced to the developer website, and the one cited to gamershell. Eik Corell (talk) 14:32, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

What "turned out to unreliable"? (I'm not even a fan of RIAN for example at all, as I personally hate the Russian government and all of its agancies, but so I hate almost all of modern "game journalism", however I put my personal biases aside.) SNAAAAKE!! (talk) 07:15, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

The sources in the "revenue" part seems fine, but seem kind of out of place here - this stuff should be on the developer article, especially given that it's not standard to make a separate section for userbase statistics on video game articles. Save for the stuff that does not have third-party sources, which I still think should be removed, would you be opposed to moving the third-party sourced content there? I'm still ok with including the latest available player numbers with third-party sources (this stuff).

I would, because they operate also other popular games. (And I did a thorough cleanup + copyedit on Wargaming (company) recently, used to be just awful.) The money is the real mark of a F2P game's success, even if they had a billion players but not much money coming it would be a failure because they're not running a charity. But the sheer popularity of the game still has encyclopedic value as of itself, especially since its some actual record numbers. The most important thing for me is how much it's all just extremely outdated for WoT (several years behind on every count, not just that). SNAAAAKE!! (talk) 22:02, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

The focus is on player vs. player gameplay with each player controlling an armored vehicle.

World of Tanks has been ported to multiple gaming consoles. The PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox Ones version was developed by Wargaming West studio. World of Tanks has also recently expanded to mobile platforms under the title World of Tanks Blitz, in addition to a board game titled World of Tanks Rush and a collectable card game titled World of Tanks: Generals. World of Tanks was followed by World of Warplanes and World of Warships.

to Y

The focus is on player vs. player gameplay with each player controlling an armored vehicle. Players have a choice of five different vehicle types (light, medium or heavy tank, tank destroyer, or self-propelled gun), each of which have unique gameplay styles and roles in battle. It is built upon a freemium business model where the game is free-to-play, but participants also have the option of paying for “premium” features. A four-time winner at the Golden Joystick Awards (“Best MMO” in 2012, “Best Online Game” in 2013 and back-to-back “Still Playing” awards in 2017 and 2018), World of Tanks has also set two Guinness World Records. In 2011, it set the Guinness World Record for “Most Players on One MMO Server”—91,311. Later, the PC title would set another for “Most Players on One Server Cluster”—1,114,337.

Throughout its development, World of Tanks has collaborated with Swedish power metal band Sabaton, former Italy captain and goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, Japanese anime franchise Girls und Panzer, tabletop wargame Warhammer 40,000, Swedish actor and martial artist Dolph Lundgren, and Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka.

Since release, World of Tanks has become a cultural phenomenon in several countries across the globe and as of March 2018, the PC title has over 160,000,000 registered players worldwide.

The World of Tanks series has expanded to mobile platforms with World of Tanks Blitz and on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360 as World of Tanks: Mercenaries. In addition to its platform expansion, a board game titled World of Tanks Rush was released in 2013, and a comic book based on the World of Tanks universe, World of Tanks: Roll Out, was written by Garth Ennis and Carlos Ezquerra, and published by Dark Horse Comics.
