The next patch introduces a new feature - the ability to play anonymously. What is it for?
Hello tankers! With you Wotpack and today we have prepared for you the latest news from the next patch 1.7.
Why enter?
Initially, WoT came out with a client open for installing third-party modifications, which allowed players to install various modifications, including a mod popular for statistics Xvm or as he is better known among the people "Olenemer". This modification shows the player's rating and his percentage of victories, which allows you to evaluate the possibilities in battle, both allies and opponents. For many players, statistics are a reason for pride or just boast.
However, in combat, there is often a rigid division, expressed in game slang for extras и crayfish. The former often become the main target of artillery and the focus of other players, as they are considered the most dangerous, therefore, gold and land mines are often loaded against them, or simply run away by the crowd. But the latter, on the contrary, are initially written off and instead of moral support at the final stage of the battle, messages like “Yes, he is a cancer, this is a drain 100%”.
How will anonymity work?
Incognito mode only works in combat. To enable it, go to the "Game" tab in the settings. Scroll the slider to the very bottom and in the left corner there will be a new option - "Hide name in battle." Here you need to check the box.
Please note that the "anonymizer" does not work in all types of battles:
After enabling anonymity, the game will automatically generate a new nickname every time you enter a battle. It will be a random combination of letters and numbers, similar to the usual nicknames used by players.
For a player who hides a nickname, nothing will visually change - he is shown his original nickname, next to which a special anonymizer sign will be displayed. While the rest of the players will only be able to see a randomly generated name.
Anonymity when playing in a platoon
With the anonymizer enabled, you can play in a platoon with friends as usual or join the dynamic one during the battle. But keep in mind that your co-platoon members will see the nickname, and, accordingly, the statistics if they have special mods installed.
Abuse of anonymity and violation of the rules
You can still get punished for unsportsmanlike conduct or violation of the rules of the game. Also, anonymity does not protect players using prohibited modifications. For those who will abuse anonymity, arranging a mess in the chat or preventing other team members from playing, the punishment is in the form of a permanent blocking of the anonymity option.
Results
Anonymizer is designed to make the game more comfortable and eliminate many unpleasant situations that arise on the basis of statistics. The tank audience is divided into players who try to demonstrate maximum results, “sweat” to get 3 marks or do not sell vehicles until they take “Master”. The other part plays just for fun, not bothering with the statistics.
Cover allies who have fallen under the enemy's focus, and help newcomers or inexperienced players with good advice. Good luck on the battlefield!
