Where the clan commanders that went to this meeting worried the rest of us might actually be able to field a team good enough to knock them off and thats why they wanted it locked up for the holidays. We all know that weekends are when most land is won and lost.
Shame WG you may have lost a lot of players because of this and your lack of transparency hasn't helped either.
Iam currently sitting on 299k exp that needs converting and not sure if spending my hard earned cash is worth it.

GeneralDirection: It's already been said, but none of the decisions made regarding
clan wars were exclusively because of that forum. In fact, the
largest anti-tank locking thread was found in the Ultimate Conquest
forum itself. As was the thread about changing the prime times.
That said, it looks like we should just scrap this idea and stick to the suggestions forum.

A. Is only fast in a straight line after a few long seconds of acceleration.
B. Has horrendous Turning capabilities.
C. Doesn't have a good gun (forgivable)
D. Doesn't have any armour to speak of. (also forgivable)
E. Is a tier 4 so you can end up in matches with tier 9's (yay?)
F. Is small (a plus)
G. Good view range?

GeneralDirection: Interesting. The 38nA is one of my best tanks, so I'm surprised
it's been mentioned in the thread much at all. I can understand the
frustration over getting into higher tier battles with it, but at
its tier I've had a lot of solid battles.
While its gun isn't the most potent at its tier, it's extremely accurate. Even while moving it's been fairly reliable for me.

Sticking something as revolutionary as that in an obscure section of the forums might have had something to do with that abysmal turnout. Maybe sticking a popup when you log in to the game, or a massive notice about it on the front of the forums would have helped.
99. Out of how many subscribers? Let's say everyone ingame as I write this (14k) comprises all the people that play the game. That's 0.7% of the clientbase people. Not exactly your fault if people don't vote, I understand that. It appears as though I voted in it, unless it closed or something. But I generally avoid the suggestions forum, as it's a waste of time since suggestions are rarely acted upon, or are a load of drivel.

Gaea: I'm not saying we based the decision solely on this poll, you said
where you were looking for it, so I just gave you the link to that
specific one. As I stated previously, we spoke/argued about this at
length with several players and clan leader, and we also debated
this with the Clan Wars designers, and they also agreed that tank
locking may not be the best thing for the NA server, for now.
Actually, turning it off for the NA server was their idea. This
does not mean that tank locking will never be activated for the NA
server, the tools are there, it can easily be turned "on" if and
when needed.

lsland, on Dec 30 2011 - 06:09, said: As you can see from the above quote, the select few you talk about was those clans that actually held territory when the forum was setup. Seems to be a simple requirement to get access. Since there are almost 2300 clans and they have to manually add each Commander, adding them all manually would have been a large task (yes i'm sure they could've created a script or something to do this for them but that would require more work). Commanders also come and go, not as frequent as DC, soldiers or recruits. Obviously we don't have 2300 active clans with only 80+ clans on the map. There's no secrets or grand decisions being done. However, there is no reason to add just any one as the whole point was to keep the trolls out. If you want access, i would suggest you start by taking a piece of property. I would check with FYI, I believe WG has also stated that creating "placeholders" as you have done violates the EULA. I would login to the forums with Grumpyolfart and see if you have access to the Clan Council with that account. If you don't, you should. I don't know the process of how they are adding folks to that forum group. Maybe send them some cookies

GeneralDirection: We'll be announcing the forum tomorrow, but the criteria will be
fairly straightforward: control territory on the map, or have 50 or
more members. We'll be a bit flexible with the 50 or more members
rule since we don't want to exclude a clan with, say, 47 members...
but for now those will be the requirements. We want the channel of
communication to be focused on clans actively participating -- or
able to participate -- in the current state of clan wars.
As we implement additional features we will relax the requirements. For example, once Diplomacy is implemented we will lower the "or have 50 or more members" number quite a bit to take into account Alliances.

T28 already has the new damage model.
T95 in fact got a nasty bug since it was released and it's being fixed for 7.1, but that's the point, it had a CLEAR bug, that's why said armor bug is being fixed

GeneralDirection: I wouldn't necessarily call it a bug -- it's more that we found
additional information on the T95 in the national archives, so we
were able to create more accurate armor models for it.
Edit: Actually you're right about the 0 armor situation. There are two different armor updates for the T95 in play here. The 0 armor situation was indeed a bug.

Well, if I see my reputation drop to below -100, I won't be surprised. I'd like to feel sadness at their tragic lives for being sad enough to where they have stooped low enough as to be -1ing all somebody's posts, but I can't.
PM me in-game and I'll tell you who they are. I already know, and so do they, and I've decided on my solution. Let me just say right now that it isn't so low that I'll start -1ing all of your posts.
EDIT: Yep, I SAW it happen just now. This was rated +1. I refreshed, 0. I refreshed again, -1. You people really need to get lives.

Gaea: Here.
This is but one of many, many, many threads that were brought to our attention in the past months when tank locking was announced. We had several conversations with many players (on forums, chat, and teamspeak) about the tank locking, and the overall feeling we were getting from the players was extremely negative, unhappy, and disgruntled.
This is why when I had the chance to speak face to face with the CW designers, I shared with them everything that I heard from the players over the past months, and this is what they decided, for now.

Tanitha: Hi as below, it also sounds to me like a on board low powered
graphics card.
however, windows has a performance meter in it, which checks the speed of your cpu, hard drive, and graphics card and gives you ratings for each.
So you can see what the speed rating is for each of your components.
The computer will only be as fast as its slowest part. and you should be able to see if its the graphics which are slowing you down.

Tanitha: I would believe most of the loading speeds are related to ram and
hard drive speed, a lot more so than internet connection speed.
Do you have additional programs running now, like a hoggy virus scanner.
Or maybe its dime for a defrag, or moving all your junk from the C drive to a different drive/partition.

HOTA_CHATON, on Dec 29 2011 - 20:39, said: I have just finished Murovanka and of course, since I am on the team, we lost. I was using my BT-7 and had the auto repair & auto resupply boxes checked, as I do on
all my Tier 1 & 2 tanks, etc. I started the battle with a few hundred points over 418K, I know as I keep a close check on what I have, for the goals I have set & had
just repaired and rearmed my A-20, so I know what I had. I went into battle and as I said, we lost, my tank was destroyed, and I returned to my garage, with a tank
that had been repaired and rearmed. I had earned nearly 3K in credits, according to the end of battle report you always get and I spent 2K in credits to repair and
rearm. Well, when I checked my credits, I have find that I am missing credits. Not only did not get the remainder of credits from the battle but I have now gone
from 418L+ in credits to 415K in credits. I am wondering, what gives here, why am I missing to many credits and I only had the one tank out, all others were in my
garage, repaired, and rearmed.
I thought it may have happened a time or two before but I know for sure it did today and it's got me T'd off though I know there is probably nothing I can do about it.
I don't know if it is a bug, flaw, or whatever you want to call it but I know this for sure: ALL MY TANKS NOW DO NOT HAVE AUTO ANYTHING CHECKED, I WILL INSPECT EACH
AND EVERY BILL.
I am also doning one other thing, I am now going to change my game and forum password(s), just in case someone has hacked my account. IF YOU ARE SMART, YOU WILL CHECK
YOUR CREDITS, YOUR ACCOUNT, AND EVERYTHING ELSE. THEN CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD OR WHATEVER.
THIS IS JUST A WARNING FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN BITTEN BY SOMETHING.

Tanitha: Hi, how about your tank caught fire, and it used a fire
extinguisher, which then got replaced for a cost of 3k ?
If you want to keep track of every penny your tank uses, when for sure, switch the auto systems off and do it manually seems like the best bet.
If you find any issues while doing it manually, Please screenshot and provide the screens for it. It will help us help you.

work but they do not, what should I do? I got a couple back in November and recieved a T2 and T-127 tank plus Premium and so forth but the tanks have been sold and
the premium days are gone. Is my account on a banned list of this type of activity or is there a certain amount that can be used during a certain time period. I
wanted to try this route first and see if there is anything I can do before filling out a ticket and going that route.
Thanks.

Tanitha: You will need to contact finance through the support ticket system
for them to look into the specific codes.
support.worldoftanks.com
But it sounds like a promotion that is now set to one code per player. And you have already used codes for that particular promotion.
Finance will be able to help you exactly.

I was not spotted the whole time tho...it can't be a coincedience that he fires randomnly like that. He wanted me dead for sure lol.
sethman410, on Sep 21 2011 - 04:30, said: Hmm ok. Idk what server side is. But that's interesting because it was the exact same hack that I also caught long time ago. The other time, it was almost exactly the same story. Thats also the reason why I decided to post this, well I already kind of explained but I'm seeing the exact same kind of hacks.
sethman410, on Sep 21 2011 - 04:22, said: Hey guys. I know you guys might be thinking... "ugh no one does hack" but I do seriously think I caught someone hacking. Twice...
Forgot the name of map we were playing on, it was a city map. The one with most buildings and the only open areas are the railyards and in the middle. He was playing arty and so was I. So, I camped at our base not being spotted the whole time. No enemy tank was near me. He was other side camping at their base. After I set up, then all of sudden I get shot. After getting shot, I moved to behind the building and he aimed perfectly at me the whole time. Keep in mind I was not spotted. I was like What the hell, I was behind the building and I moved... He still aimed perfectly at me and shot me... He only missed once after the first shot when I lost my tracks. It looked pretty obvious that he was hacking. I played over 1000 battles and I approve this. Also, when he killed me I was behind a building, it was an impossible shot.
So I ask the mods look into his account or watch him or something. Thanks. If you need more detail, I will try to explain more in more specific details.
Also, sorry if I posted this in the wrong forums.. Im kind of fairly new to this game. Only played it for a month and this is my first post. And the other time I caught someone hacking was a long time ago. I just wanted to report this this time because I dont want hacking in this lovely game out of hand. It needs to be stopped right away before it spreads like a virus, if you guys know what I mean. Thanks!

Tanitha: As you said here, you were behind a "broken" wall, and only "close
to it" not directly behind it.
That sounds like plenty of room for a arty to drop shots close enough to you, to hit you with splash.
Especially since you said you took several hits, they probably weren't direct hits.

Tanitha: Server side means the client on the players computer is just a
graphics displayer, it doesn't do any of the calculations itself
(that are important and that count in battle)
So, a player can not "hack their client" on their computer, to gain a advantage, because the client doesn't handle anything important.
The only real hacks that have ever appeared are player made mods, that tweak some graphics settings, such as the tracer cheat, which made the tracers stay on the screen longer, and a bright fluorescent colour. That player made mod was considered a advantage, and thus a cheat, and the tracers were removed until they were reworked more securely.

Tanitha: You can look up the players stats in game yourself, I'm sure you
wont see anything abnormal there.
But for next time, you know you can easily record the whole game? there is a playback/record setting there which will make a 1meg file that others can use to replay your whole game.
That makes it easier for everyone to see exactly what happened. Have a play with it, its a hot new feature!.
As for "I wasn't spotted"
Scouts and TD's which have 100% crews, with 100% camo, and a camo net, in a bush, who aren't firing.
more than likely they can see you, even if you cant see them.
They usually don't fire at you, they do their job, spot you, stay hidden, and wait for the arty to kill you.
They gain 1/2 the exp from the damage you take, for doing the spotting.

"Due to the increasing incidence of equipment failure and, therefore, forced to restart the game a cluster, it was decided to temporarily "freeze" the situation on the global map as of November 7, 2011 18:00 (GMT). At the moment our specialists conduct a thorough analysis of the problems identified and are working to resolve their causes.
We will try to quickly achieve stable operation of the cluster under heavy load, and only after fighting in the global map will be included again.
The exact date "unfreezing" the game will be communicated in advance. Stay tuned for news.

Also, we will be doing a lot more All Star events and will cycle through all the different vehicles in the game. I'm sure at some point we will choose the tanks you like! And, the first 3 All Star events we did were all American tanks, so we are changing it up a bit to give everyone a chance
