thanks for the link

[omglaserspewpew]

Oh, you mean that Game Center, which has been causing loads of problems for American players for the past months?

[0berhessen]

i do not want it, i dont need it. everything works fine for me without it. i dont see any benefit using it.

why not dump it in the trash and use your resources for things like that annoying memory overflow that causes game crashes in wowp since years?

[dreambill]

I agree, it's a completely useless change, at least for users. Not to mention that once started it stays permanently running in the background.

I really don't need another useless program running permanently on my desktop.

[Huhudidi]

This is a wonderful example how WG could improve communication with their community. 

 

You praise changes - I as a player check if these changes are useful to me, and I personally (and obviously other players, too) see, oh, all these changes are of no use for me as it seems. 

 

So instead of praising changes, that my not be of interest for (many/most) users here, why just dont you explain in a short statement why you as the developer see the necessity of a new launcher (easier entrance to the different WG-Games for newer players, technical reasons, easier workprocess for you maybe, etc.). One article, and you could link it to all the games that are beeing connected by this launcher. So easy to show people you are taking them seriously.

In all fairness - in this particular case, I think they already explained (from Bertiux' post above):

...that some players apparently have some problems with it is a different story (I haven't had any since I got the GC shoveled down the throat during testing of 2.0).

 

But - yes - in general, communication from WG isn't always as good as one could wish for.

IMO this case about GC is an exception.

Is this something like log Steam to play some games?

Is something like trace the tundra & aimboot users in wot?

Then nice improvement will be!

Or is just a background memory useless eater and spammer program?

I'm new here... so i ask vets & staf: was in wowp or will be something  like team or Clan Wars ?

Got questions?

...

Dear Bertiux, yes i do have questions, and those are not answered in your "section full of answers" as this "section" is just about troubleshooting answers as far as i have seen:

• Replace your regular launcher:  why should i replace my launchers? they work great! i have 3 launchers for the wargaming titles i play on my desktop (planes, ships, tanks) i dont need a launcher that contains stuff i dont play (like Master of Orion etc.)
• Get in the game faster with automatic background updates : If one of the games is updated it is usually an ammount of at least 1 GB or more to download and install. I doubt it will be "fast" for example i play planes and tanks is beeing updated in the background, i can do the same with 2 launchers and it drops my ping time to unplayable. It is maybe caused by my system, my Internetconnection or whatelse, but as a matter of fact i doubt the Game Center will make it any better.
• See current news, sales, useful links and more in the launcher before you play: We already have that in the Launchers we use today...
• Check and repair installed games as necessary: It is seldom i need to check or repair my installed WG-Titles so far. Will it get worse in the future?
• Access all your favorite Wargaming products from one convenient location: I already have 3 convenient locations for the wargaming titles on my desktop. Why should i replace? See question 1.

 

Looking forward to your answers/statements. Thanks in advance. Yours sincerely 0berhessen

Using it for a year or so (beta). Works fine, no issues, does what it is suppose to do. Have one client for three games. Fair enough though if you have a calculator the 135mb background memory usage will be an issue.

[Gremorian]

Your GameCenter doesn't recognize Steam version of Master Of Orion.

[0berhessen]

Hi Bertiux my questions are still not answered, anybody home?

[EZI3]

OK, so it appears to be the very end of my WoWp playing. The game is death to me for long time, thx to WG amateurism (i played since closed beta), but i played few battles once in a while. Well, apparently not anymore. I don't want your [censored] Game center and my only hope is that it'll be not needed to play WoT. But something tells me, that my hope is vain...

Yeah! The whole new experience to launch the game... Why you always implement "improvements" that nobody wants?

 

P.S. Sry for my english, it's not my native language...

↑↑ this ↑↑

[jakub_czyli_ja]

Because WG wants that.

 

First - the new launcher shows every WG game, not only that particular one you have a wish to play. So maybe you'll accidentally waste more time in WG environment?

2nd - with default settings it can seed updates, reducing burden on WG servers, let players pay with their bandwidth for playing.

3rd - who knows what can that soft report to WG?

 

[dreambill]

Why this "migration" is forced only on WoWplanes? Are we the experimental animals?

*edited*, rly? And when you said "with default settings" i suppose it can be disabled? BTW is there any "internal option" to automatically shutdown WGC after quitting the game?

Exactly, that's why i don't want WGC in my PC...

You  *edited*,  just wanted to end up with this game.

       So you came with this *edited* update, to solve the problem.

       Would your moms  play this *edited*? 

       I don`t know,   but I would definitely like to play with them now,  instead of this crap.
