GeneralDirection: Yes, these tournaments are intended for a clan to have bragging rights. If you win the tournament, it means your clan is without a doubt the best clan of that tournament.
The standard gold prize rewards will of course be there. We also have ideas for other rewards, but it's too early to talk about that.
Clans are free to submit as many teams as they want in other tournament types, however, including the Challenges (the only tournament type currently running): http://forum.worldof...269-challenges/
Currently is pretty important there; we have plans for quite a few different types of tournaments in the coming months.

GeneralDirection: Correct.

Gaea: We are currently wrapping up the planning stages of a World of Tanks Clan tournament, tentatively scheduled to take place in February. With that in mind, we would like to poll clans on their thoughts for team sizes.
Please keep in mind, when voting on your preferred team size, that clans will be limited to one team per clan -- including sub-clans -- for this tournament type. This rule is in place to allow equal representation for clans, regardless of their size.

Tanitha: Hi, its a local issue in philippines. Either your ISP, or who your ISP connects to, The problem is before you leave your country anyway.
Step 3, (hop 3) is showing 14 ping, but also averaging 146 ping, so that obviously goes up high occasionally to get to a 146 average. It should be steady at a very low number.
This is .. "Smart Broadband Incorporated from PHILIPPINES" probably your ISP, or who your ISP connects to.
Hop 7 and 8, you have a 100% packet loss, so, a 100% information loss. So. Its hard to access anything after that.
Since step 6 and 10 (either side) are both pldt.net a Philippines ISP, then step 7 and 8 will be pldt.net aswell.
So you will need to check ping plotter again to make sure your net is still broken, and if it is the same sort of pinplotter results as what you have linked here, contact your ISP and provide them your pingplotter for them to bighunt their end. It looks to either be your ISP, or your phone/internet line.
Regards
Tan.

Tanitha: Please help
I'm not sure what is wrong.... it seems like this started happening a few days ago.
I have been playing before no problems. no lag all good.
My system specs;
i7930 quad core

Lags every game.

Hi..
Hop 1 is your computer.
Hop 2 (The second line) is you connecting to your internet provider. Which you are barely doing, with a high packet loss (lost information)
I'm not surprised you cant play WOT with that connection, I'm surprised you can even log into WOT.
You will need to trouble shoot the issue with your ISP (or your phone/internet line) and provide them the pin plotter results above.
Make sure its still broken before you ring them though. IE run it again to make sure its about the same before ringing them.
Regards
Tan.

Tanitha: Once again, I appreciate the help so far!

Hi, as Unknown says below.

Tanitha: Other online games, will be a different path from you to the game. Unless the server is in the same place.
Its kind of like saying well my house to hotel1 takes 4 hours to drive to because they was a traffic jam on street1
But my house to hotel2, only takes 15 mins driving time, So there must be a problem with Hotel1.
There is extra traffic generated by world of tanks since 7.0 due to the new camo, the new camo requires each player to download the camo's from the server.
With 15,000 players online that generates a little more traffic that WOT is shoving down the roads.
Also, WOT reached its max users online recently. So, now there is often 20,000 players info being shoved down the line where 15k was a more common peak number in November.
The extra recent traffic generated by WOT, doesn't effect the WOT servers, because the WOT servers can handle much much more than that. The Russian server has up to 340k online at once for a example. But the extra traffic does go down many roads, and the extra traffic can cause some possible holdups on those roads.
Running pingplotter will enable you to see where that holdup is. usually its a hub in Charlotte that gets a bit burdened.
Which is why hotspot shield (details above) can fix things for some, because that forces you -> WOT servers, to take different streets.
The ping plotter you linked, looked ok. Maybe things were ok that instant that you ran it.
Anyway, you could try hotspotshield and the Firefox/Chrome add-on addblockplus (to block the adds hotspotshield installs)
Thats the only short term solution I can think of at the moment, that might, or might not work.
PS 60+ FPS is high, so nps there : )
Unless there is some kind of clash with your graphics card drivers.
updating your GFX card drivers, and direct X, is always a good things to try.
Regards
Tan.

GeneralDirection: Semifinals are now scheduled. Good luck to the remaining teams!

GeneralDirection: I would love to do it more often, but I'm not sure it would be feasible. We had members of our support and game master teams playing every now and then, which we can't really do all that often since they're supposed to focus on helping you guys with any issues you have in the game, or on the forum. I did have a lot of fun though, and look forward to February's event!

GeneralDirection: We'll look at potentially running two tank companies next time. We probably could have run two if we really wanted to this time around, but I didn't want to pull anyone from support away from answering tickets for any extended amount of time.

GeneralDirection: I have not received any requests to remove a person from your team. If you're saying the person should not receive a prize, we can resolve that after the tournament ends. I do not want to make roster changes while the tournament still has rounds left to play.

Gaea: Hehe, yes, we will definitely be practicing more before the next one! Those guys were good!

Gaea: Hehe, yes, we will definitely be practicing more before the next one! Those guys were good!

Tanitha: RO doesn't stop players from posting to profiles (continuing to offend), So yes breaking rules while posting on a player profile while already on Ro, will see the sanction increased to a full forum suspension.
Welcome back
Have fun, Tan.

Tanitha: Hi Shintyuji.
Your ISP might not have any problems, your your connection to them does.
On your ping plotter hop 4 is receiving a 67% packet loss, and that's your correction to your ISP still, by the looks.
Id email that ping-plotter into your ISP.

Gaea: The WG tank company is over! Hope those that participated enjoyed it. The gold will be disbursed next week!

GeneralDirection: We actually decided this very recently because we thought it would be cool to do once a month. We'll make sure to announce them farther in advance from now on.

GeneralDirection: Good games so far guys! Let's keep it going, we're queueing for another hour!

GeneralDirection: I wouldn't necessarily say to be larger it has to have 18 tanks. There are a nice number of tanks we're hoping to include, but definitely not equal to the initial French release. There are other things in the update that I would consider content. We'll be able to share more about 7.2 once we're closer to having players test it.

GeneralDirection: Which tanks, specifically? The balance is fairly solid at the low tiers for the most part, but if you have specific tanks in mind we can certainly take a look.

GeneralDirection: This is an interesting idea. I'll pass it on; I can't guarantee it would be implemented, but it's worth discussing nonetheless.

GeneralDirection: 7.1 is already live. The next update is 7.2, which will include the American heavy changes. The Russian heavy changes are tentatively scheduled for 7.3, which will follow 7.2.

GeneralDirection: Alright, I found the issue and fixed it. Starting position will swap with each battle.
Also, round of 64 is scheduled! - http://worldoftanks....llenge_Playoff/
