       WoT Console WG Fest Q&A
       More from WG Fest, this time regarding the WoT Console versions.
       Answers come from Regional Operating Producer Anastasia
       Pribylskaya.
       -The main achievement from this year was getting tanks out on
       PS4 and getting it caught up with the Xbox versions.
       -We’re looking to making something similar to ESL tournaments,
       on a platform bypassing the training rooms.
       – In the next year we will do more entertaining game modes, for
       example, in January, we will have a comic look for some time,
       the whole game will look like a comic book.This is not the mode
       but simply a visual experience.– Replays will be introduced in
       the coming year.
       -“Tank Aces” is a good idea for consoles. Though more thought
       will have to go into it after seeing how it ended on PC.
       – The ‘minimap’ is mostly used by RU region. Most players use
       the ‘radar’ mode. (DN: Not really surprising when the radar is
       the default)
       -Skill Based balance is being looked at.
       -The Console Companion app was scrapped do to the lack of
       demand.
       -Regarding more WarGaming products on console: Can’t say
       anything for certain.
       -There will be more customized tanks, different from the PC
       version.
       -We’re not bringing tank rentals to consoles. We’ll try a
       different mechanic.
       -Next patch will be in January.
       -We would like to make improvements to the Xbox 360, but we
       can’t do to the limitations of the console. We have to move
       forward to the new platforms.

       Interesting stuff, right from the horse's mouth...
       Understandable about the 360 info...I hope they don't eliminate
       support entirely for this platform, as a large player base still
       plays on it.
       Be kinda neat to see the "Comic Book" look she referred to,
       although, it may throw a lot of people off regarding map
       location awareness. Maybe a Ranzar look, too lol
       "Tank Aces"? Not familiar with that one...
       Her mini-map comment makes me nervous...does that indicate they
       are leaning towards removing the option? I hope not...I toggle
       between the two, depending on the situation.
       Skill-based balance would be nice, although I think it should be
       optional as a setting choice.
       Curious about the alternative to tank rentals...maybe a short
       term lease, instead? j/k, it's pretty much the same thing lol

       -There was a follow up in the thread over on the WoT forum from
       WG that they will be supporting the 360 as long as MS is still
       supporting it.
       - I am torn on the skill-based.  I can totally see this screwing
       match making up, more than it already is.
       It really is about time for this as well:
       – Replays will be introduced in the coming year.

       Could not agree more.  And skill-based how, gamer only stats or
       gamer and vehicle.  Is it for the lifetime stats, month, week,
       day?

       Skill based balance?  I call that bullshit...   Totally screw up
       the MM - which is a grabass now-a-days anyway.     How about
       everyone that is purple or blue always play 2 tiers down until
       they are green again?   Really not gonna happen.      I think WG
       puts TOO much stock into the crybaby's on their forums.   It
       only represents maybe 2% of the entire player base.     :shutup:

       Skill based balanced rofl. We don't  have a large enough
       community to implement this. If we had 200,000 maybe, but the
       most we have seen online is 44000.
