The downside is that when they arrive in the game, you’ll remember the tank you absolutely love, and it’ll have been nerfed quite a bit. Because they’re still balancing these tanks, most of the time, they’re quite OP.

For the period of usually two weeks, we get tanks added onto our accounts that aren’t in available in the game yet and we get to test them. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is great fun. And sometimes we could test things and not be allowed to tell anyone.Īnd on top of all of that, our CM also signed all of us up for testing tanks. We actually sometimes get some early info on things to boot, which is incredibly nice, so we (I say we, but I really mean the rest of the guys) can prepare content so that when whatever it is we know does get public, we (they) can publish content about it that much sooner and that much more effectively.īut, on top of that, our community manager signed all us CC’s up for open test, which meant that when that came up, usually the Thursday and Friday before the next update, we could stream, or make videos, of what was coming in the next update. This changed a few months later though, and thanks to our amazing community manager, we’re back in the loop.

This was incredibly frustrating, because as CC’s, we’re meant to be the link between players and Wargaming and though I’m all for Wargaming communicating with the playerbase as well, being circumvented isn’t nice. Wargaming would share its news with certain clans and people, and we’d get questions about it while we had no idea what they were talking about. Last year, for quite some time, us community contributors didn’t really feel like we were part of the game anymore.
