darksamurai, on 06 September 2011 - 11:50 PM, said: I got 153 points on Teir 9-10, how come i am not at 5th place?
Ronin81, on 07 September 2011 - 08:16 AM, said: Excuse me, but why the winner in the Tier 7-8 category is a Maus
driver?
Toffeegerbil, on 07 September 2011 - 10:35 AM, said: I worked hard in the 7-8 category, I had the option of getting a
low tier tank to shoot me, but I did not do it as it was not
mentioned at all in the rules, so I assumed it was foul play.
Encouraging this kind of stuff disrupts everyones gameplay, always hindering the side with the tiny tank on which is basically not there to play, but to mess around.
If I knew we could 'cheat' I would have got me some gold today. I think in future WG needs to be careful with this kind of thing, as gold is money, and ambigious rules will always cause trouble.
I am not complaining about who won and who didn't. I'm just making my opinion known to you incase you take in customer feedback, so that future competitions can be carried out with more tact.

Vallter: Because the fifth prizer has 154 points

Vallter: We beg our pardon for this. Fixed.

Vallter: Please, take a look on this from our perspective:
There was a line missing in the rules, which allowed players to go 'the easy way'. Doing this they have not violated neither contest nor game rules. It was easier for them to win, that is why they were excluded from the ladder of winners. But still, they have not violated any rules, made a lot of work to get into one battle and cooperate there. They have work too. They completed forum and contest rules. We cannot just not give gold for the contest, because we don't like the way they have won. So we decided to give such players special prizes.
But because of this issue we have made special Contest Rules, which will help us to avoid such situations in future.
And we are grateful for feedback you have provided to us.

LiannaSilverwind: Russian forum Developers Questions and Answers
Date: 7th September 2011
Link: http://forum.worldof...B2%D0%B5%D1%82/
Translation: by me, one RU server-only question removed.
Did you decide how will Jagdpanzer E-100 (Stug E-100) look like? Will its superstructure be front-based or rear-based?
Rear-based.
When will you add password for selling tanks?
We work on that, cannot promise exact date for now. We are constantly improving our security.
Will all tanks from countries like Italy, Hungary, Sweden, etc. be available only for gold? Or they will get non-complete tech trees for credits?
It is possible that we will make one mixed tech tree for several European countries. For credits.
Do you plan to add premium SPGs or TDs? When will they appear ingame?
Yes, we do. We estimate them to appear later this year.
When actual, not theoretical, tanks data will be displayed in garage? Will they change dynamically when we change modules, consumables etc.?
We cannot provide exact date; this task is not our immediate priority. Parametres shown will be based on crew’s skills and additional modules.
May you tell us the date and price for Type 59? Which servers will get this tank?
It is premium 8th tier medium tank. It will cost 7.500 gold and will appear very soon, in patch 6.7.
Will you show actual range to the point we aim at, not only if crosshair is targeting an enemy or an ally?
We do not plan to implement that yet.
Can you make observation mode for clan members who are not engaged in battle?
It is not possible yet due to certain technical issues.
When will Soviets get second TD tree? Do you work on that?
We do. This year.
Will you add different engine sounds? There should be different sounds for diesels and petrol engines.
We will.
Will it be possible to use adaptive camouflage in historical battles? Will it rise vehicle‘s "balance cost" compared to the same vehicle without adaptive camouflage?
We did not decide this question yet.
Do you plan to publish longtime game development plan? There is no need to provide exact dates, just tell us what we could expect in immediate future.
Yes, we will publish it soon. Stay tuned!
Do you plan to use different versions of already existing maps? For example the same map, but with bases situated at different places?
Not planned yet.
Do you have statistics for the maps considering which base wins the battle more often?
Yes, but we do not publish them.
Do you plan to add the following information to the afterbattle screen – nickname of the players who have damaged the tank, time of battle, name of tank that was used near the nickname, ability to open such a window after it was closed?
Afterbattle screen will be completely reworked in one of the patches past 7.0.
Will you add Polish tanks? Will they get separate tree or mixed one?
Most probably they will get into mixed European tree.
Will you add any obstacles for the cannon? Right now cannon passes through every object.
It will be left as it is. If we block cannon or turret with obstacles, the game becomes unplayable.
May we get an ability to paint clan’s logo on the tank?
Yes, it will be added.
Will you add an ability to own the same tank twice?
No.
Do you plan to add night battles with an ability to turn tank lights on and off?
We do not plan to add them now due to technical difficulties with dynamic lighting during the night.
Will teammates get information where does allied SPG aim?
No.
Will you change Clan Wars in patch 6.7?
Not in that patch. They will be changed later.
Do you plan to modify ignore function so that the system will ignore pings and automatical commands like Help!, Affirmative!, etc. from the ignored player? The aim is to get rid of spammers. It will help a lot.
We work on improving chat functions.
Will I meet Jessica Alba during the immediate 2-3 days?

Link on message: #880293
Mr_Kubrick: 
- Est-ce que les développeurs ont déjà choisi l’apparence finale de Jagdpanzer E-100 (StuG E-100)? Le blockhaus sera de devant ou de derrière ?
De derrière
- Est-ce que vous allez implémenter le mot de passe pour vendre les chars ?
Oui, on y déjà travaille.
- La branche de nations produisant des chars (l'Italie, la Hongrie, la Suisse, etc) sera-t-elle uniquement constituée de chars premiums achetables avec de lor ?
Peut-être, on ajoutera la branche commune pour tous les nations.
- Dans les plans j’ai vu de premium chasseurs de chars. Quand est-ce qu’on les verra dans le jeu ?
Probablement, ces véhicules apparaîtront à la fin de l’année.
- Parlez-nous un peu de Type 59...
C’est un premium char de Rang 8 qui coûtera 7 500 or et sera disponible dans la version 0.6.7
- Est-ce que vous planifiez de rendre permanent l'indicateur de distance du viseur ? Et non uniquement sur un ennemi/allié en surbrillance.
Pas pour le moment.
- Est-ce que c’est possible de regarder la bataille (pour les membres du clan qui ne sont pas dans la bataille) ?
Pour le moment ce n’est pas possible à cause de certaines raisons techniques.
- Quand implémentez-vous la deuxième branche de chasseurs de chars soviétiques ?
On y travaille. Vous la verrez déjà cette année.
- Est-ce que vous allez faire des bruits différents de moteurs ? Le bruit du moteur Diesel doit être différent de celui à essence.
Oui.
- Pouvez-vous annoncer vos futures plans concernant le développement du jeu ? Sans la précision de dates, tout simplement les plans pour les versions suivantes ?
Oui, vous verrez bientôt notre calendrier des travaux.
- Planifiez-vous de présenter de variations sur les cartes déjà disponibles? Par exemple, la même carte, mais les bases à un autre emplacement ?
Non, pour le moment non.
- Planifiez-vous d’élargir la fenêtre avec les résultats de la bataille ? Par exemple, augmenter des points suivants: le nickname du joueur qui vous a endommagé ; le temps ou la bataille a eu lieu ; le titre du char à côté du nickname ; la possibilité d’ouvrir cette fenêtre après qu’on a quitté la bataille.
La fenêtre avec les résultats sera complètement modifiée mais apparaîtra seulement dans une des versions après 7.0
- Implémenterez-vous un jour des chars polonais ? Si oui, sera-t-il une branche particulière ou mélangée ?
Probablement. Mélangés à la sélection européenne.
- Quand les obstacles bloqueront-ils la rotation de la tourelle ? Pour le moment elle est comme un fantôme qui passe à travers les murs.
Jamais, car cela fait le jeu très difficile à jouer.
- Aurons-nous la possibilité de «dessiner» le logo du clan sur les chars ?
Oui.
- Aurons-nous la possibilité d’avoir deux chars pareilles en même temps ?
Non
- Implémenterez-vous des batailles nocturnes ? Pour utiliser les phares...
Pas pour le moment, car il est très difficile d'un point de vue de technique de réaliser l'éclairage dynamique.
- Les alliés, pourront-ils voir les places ou leurs artilleries visent ?
Non
- Changerez-vous quelque chose dans la carte globale ?
Oui, les changements apparaîtront dans une des mises à jour suivantes
- Est-ce que vous modifierez un jour la fonctionnalité du chat ?
Oui, on y travaille.

The only difference between a PaK and a KwK version of the gun is percussion and electric detonator, so it is the same gun but to get it for German tanks you must research both at full research cost!
The same does not happen in USSR tree for the tank gun and TD version of the 152mm gun.
Are the developers aware of the difference between the guns? some times it makes me wonder on the expert status of your expert researchers (((

fact that tank and TD versions are practically identical. This is

Overlord: Probably. 6.7 test2 should be available rather soon.

If not, do you plan to have such event (like with name change) or service for account transfer?

Overlord: 1. Currently it's not possible. (tho technically it is possible but
it's too resource-consuming).
2. Probably. Only when the respective functionality is available.

FredTMK, on 06 September 2011 - 01:19 AM, said: So, Overlord, first i wanted to say i really like this thread
(looks like you finally seem to care a bit more for your customers

To my questions, i made through the entire thread now in 2 hours so i really think my q´s havnt been asked so far:
1. Regarding the E-100 turret, you planned to have the Maus one (or the one that looks nearly identical) and the Krupp one. We had those in 6.6test1 (and 2?) but not in the final patch. The 3D Model files as well as the texture-files for Maus turret and its guns can still be found in the respective folders. So first, why have you decided to take the Maus one out, and is there a chance that we get in in the future?
2. Did i understand corectly that the feature to reconnect to the game if your connection fails will be removed? Because i really enjoy it now cause my inet s*cks.
3. Regarding the crew-ranks, now its impossible to reach the last rank (Major) with the commander exept witch deleting skills, which isnt the most elegant method i think. Will that change when new crewmember skills arrive?
Thank you for your time

Overlord: 1. For the sake of uniqueness of E-100 we removed Maus turret. The
chance it will be available in future is rather low.
2. No, this is not meant to be changed.
3. Yes, definitely.

Gnomus, on 06 September 2011 - 01:11 AM, said: Hi Overlord!
1. Could you tell what combat tiers are available for coming T5 lights?
2. Do T4 lights still get thrown into T8/9 battles, or do they (or at least non-scout branch lights) get their battle tiers reduced to something lower, like T6 ot T7?
3. Do you personally think coming T5 lights are well balanced when compared to "old" T5 mediums (or heavies)?
By checking their stats, it seems to me that they are balanced to be usefull scouts in high tier battles, but they don't seem to be balanced against "old" T5 tanks. They seems to make T5 meds pretty useless, as they have same or better gun, more hitpoints, much better speed and maneuverability, increased view range and only slightly less armour.

Overlord: 1-2. The chart here http://forum.worldof...-making-system/ is
relevant. Probably will reduce the spread for A-20, since it's not
a dead end one.
3. Tier 5 lights are the way we want them to be, the gap between LT4 and LT5 is meant to be rather big.

LiannaSilverwind: You make a ticket to Support. Support cares of account database.
They will press one button, confirm it few times and your account
will be deleted. You will get confirmation that they have done with
it.
Whether it will mean your account parameter "deleted" will be turned to on, or your account will be removed from active accounts list, or it will be physically deleted and overwritten with new data after hard drive is melted down remains unknown to me. In any case, for you it will be deleted.

vuque: First of all trying to show like; PTS is weak and hiding behind
their allies and not offering sth back to them is really ridiculous
and an effort of manipulation to disgrace PTS.Like Swuul's doing
now.
When ODV needed help at Britain PTS was there and helped their allies(And PTS is still there to keep protecting of the backdoors of Britain),When OM needed help at Cyprus,Duba,Sinai PTS was there and helped their allies(And PTS handover the Cyprus,Duba,Sinai back to the OM when they are ready) and all after that PTS needed help at the middle east for some reasons(Reasons are not your concern at all.So stop talking about it.That only concern's PTS and their Allies.If you feel like PTS have problem then come and try to get an advantage from it or shut up!) and their allies helped them.So what is wrong here?If you just can't take it to kicked out by an alliance then do not attack that lands.
So long story short;Stop manipulating the events and trying to get advantage from a bigger clan and do sth,if you can't just suck it up.

bad in that, if they want to use/spend/waste money on that, why
not?
Usual botter have about 100 experience per battle and 30-35% win/loss ratio with 0-10 frags per 1000 battles.
