1) Will players have to load into the lobby phase of the battle and then again to get into the actual battle?

Nope, after the delay phase, a  message appears regarding that objectives are now available to complete, and the flags pop up at their desired location and balls are being dropped at their respective places and the match continues like normal.

2) Will that lobby time mean that players will now only have 14 minutes to play the actual battle?

Yes, but the 14 minutes is only for Objectives, you can still gain Exp by killing tankers in the delay duration. It is like a TDM with all functionalities, just objectives don't appear.

3) Will players entering late have to go through this process regardless of how much time is left of the battle?

No, if a player let's say joins a CTF battle after 1 minute, the battle will resume for him like it did in the previous time, no delay.

Kills do contribute to battle fund, they mentionned in vlog.

In a group of 4 we are usually waiting 3-5 minutes to load into a battle 1-4 hours after server restart.  We also have lots of people leave our battles at the start.  I wonder how it will affect this system.

I've seen you guys (W-O-T clan) many times in battle. People leave your battles because you guys annihilate everyone in the first 2-3 mins of battle. It's like there is no competition so of course no one wants to play against players of your nature. Especially the non buyers. It's a sad reality of having everything maxed out as well as the most broken drones in the game. I'm surprised you guys have fun with this game. Personally, I like a challenge and resistance from my opponents. I feel that's what makes it a GG instead of capping all flags/balls in under 5 minutes without any hassle.  But that's just me. Hopefully this update provides a little bit of fairness when facing players of your nature.

On this account I’m a General rank and 90% of the time I’m matched against Legend ranks.

It takes so long to even find a battle, and then only to find that you’re up against 9k GS players. Last year it was not like this at all.

The playerbase is so small now. It’s pathetic.

I remember playing once against these guys, and we totally defeated them Even heavy buyers are not unbeatable, at the end i said in the chat "gg" and his friend thegrayerz said bad words (censored ones), say alot about their mentality

Well, the effect of all the patches had to kick in one day. The players have been amazingly resilient so far. It took a while for me to break, too. Seeing weekly containers being removed from the challenge has done it for me, though.

Oh I feel you there. Once in a blue moon, the mega buyers are able to be defeated through teamwork and a bit of luck. It's the most satisfying feeling lol. I've encountered situations where I say GG and I get insulted too haha. I guess their ego is in such pain that they can't fathom losing with their maxed out equipment lol.

I really dislike playing against really low ranks. I am a legend rank and it's just not even competitive. Often times, I kinda let the lower rank players destroy me even though I could beat them in a matter of a few shots. I try to keep it as competitive as possible for them.

And when you about to beat the mega buyers once in a blue moon, they will simply leave, don't love to continue in a battle that have 1% competition, just love the greatly imbalanced battles.

To each their own, I guess. Some just enjoy the casual play without much effort while others will be happy to see some competition.

I am a huge fan of the delay before the battle start but it needs one change...

When the delay ends, all players should re spawn, supplies, drones, and overdrives should reset

I often get into situations where players anticipate the delay to be over and rush into the enemy base, steal the flag and capture it and the end result completely defeats the purpose of the delay

I understand your concern, but actually I think this is a better system.

It is like a hybrid between having a prep time and not having one.

The main purpose is to give a chance for all players to load in before you can fight for the game objective. While not perfect, these means that your team should be able to defend the base once the delay is over. The problem I see is that player don´t realize they should pay attention to the game and mainly defence (not caring about intruders coming to their base) even before the delay is over. But that I think will get better with time.

[NikmanGT 4,362]

Well, that is certain a point, while playing CTF, I got used to the time when the objectives start to appear, so I prepare everything in that 2-3 settings (putting up supplies, clearing the enemy area) and just rush in as soon as the flags appear. That happens on my side also, I think balance has to be worked out, and in that case, the respawn idea (which happens in many other games) is not that bad,

I don't think adding a start delay does much to change game dynamics without having everyone self-destruct and respawn in their base when the game objective starts like is done in eSports.  Now we just have people sitting on the flag waiting for it to initially spawn.

We play the game but most of the enjoyment that comes from being around each other on voice calls as we're all good friends.  Would love to have more tough battles and I try to highlight them (wins and losses) in my YT.

I am glad you said this.

I watch your videos from time to time and I have noticed you really do not mind posting your defeats as well, so it seemed weird you would tolerate such manners in your clan.

Keep it up !

So as you are sitting on the cap point waiting for the Flag to spawn, what are the defenders doing?

It was public chat and he kept the bad words for atleast 5 minutes-3min  and i remember you were in that battle too, i even remember your combination mammoth vampire isda crisis, and you didn't even tell him to stop as he is your friend.  Then, it was at this moment i stoped watching your streams. Maybe you are not like this but thats how your friend is, and there is a proverb that said "you are the average of the 6 people you hang out the most" so if he is still your friend, you kind of approved that behavior that day which cost you a viewer

I think tanki should do an update where if someone say bad words, instead of censuring the bad words with ** stars, the sentence should not show up so that way, it would not ruin/embarrasse other people's day.

I'm sorry about that.  I will speak with him.   Thanks for letting me know.

Trying to prevent it usually but some stay away or attack our flag or leave battle.  It just doesn't make sense to add an objective delay but not restart people back in their base.  I'm sure it was just easier to do what they did but from everything I have seen, it doesn't change much.

BI have met thegrayerz in battle numerous times, always saw him as a crisis guy, which kinda surprised me cuz I thought he wasn’t a buyer lol. Never knew him to be toxic cuz I’m mobile player

Bruh my alt spiderhiest ranked to Lieutenant General i think, and I am starting to see legends. Which tbh is ok, since I got 6k gs already. When i was at marshal and those ranks on Incorp my max was 6k only :x

alts are better developed than main accounts, cuz you got experience how to spend crystals and how to manage income

There are 3 brothers and all the accounts are similarly named.  We just have one of them in WOT and he hardly plays anymore.  He has never bought much beyond battle passes and premium.  I'm pretty sure he just had a lucky mission ultra container pull.
