In World of Tanks, players seem satisfied with the strongholds from the Stronghold update. Tank drivers involved in clans played more, their battles are more intense, and clan members likely reach for their wallets more often.
In a conversation with gameindustry.biz Natallia Pershyts, the Product Manager of World of Tanks, spoke about the stronghold mode. It was revealed how important it is for WoT to get players into clans. Currently, they’ve succeeded with 30% of players.
The team battles between clans are said to be more intense and challenging. Especially for the clan leader, the commander, more strategically demanding tasks fall here. Playing in a clan requires different skills, players must learn teamwork and tactics, and therefore also spend more time than other gamers.
The strongholds in the “Stronghold” update, a type of base-building feature for clans, cost Wargaming a lot of work, and the team had some trouble, but the result was worthwhile.
Apparently, according to gameindustry.biz, World of Tanks also expects a higher willingness to pay from players integrated into structures.
