Developers posts on forum

Tanitha: answered. locking.

Tanitha: Shift, and if shift don't work its probably your xfire.
Closing this since its in the wrong forum (public section)

Tanitha: If someone is not behaving "in game chat" then they don't behave "in game chat" whether that's general, other channels, or in game.
Banning someone from chat, and then leaving them F' keys they can spam, and game chat to continue spamming/insulting/etc into.. isn't a very good idea..
You all know people spam those F keys as it is, its not uncommon.
A mute, is a mute. At least you can still play, Even if you are restricted a little.
If you played with a clan on teamspeak. you wouldn't be restricted at all, with the TS being there.
Depending on the clan, you would also be free to swear or whatever on their teamspeak.
The game chat's though has rules, and moderators that enforce those rules.
The rules and mods are in beta too as well as the game. Open beta will probably see the introduction of a new set of forum game and chat rules. And there is quite a few changes that will be made.

Tanitha: All i get is

Site dont allowed
Any chance of re-upping to

Tanitha: Yeah youve only had 100 battles in it.. And thats your main problem, the gun..
If you have it maxed and fully upgraded, which takes 200? battles about from memory. then its a decent tank.
I still don't think its as good as a IS4, but its pretty close..
I think the vk4502 is closer to the IS4, than the tiger/tiger2/mouse is to the russian counterparts.
So out of the tiger/tiger2/vk4502/mouse, I prefer the vk4502...
Grab the bigger gun and its a different tank.

Tanitha: Not that much over 1..
But then again, my most played tank is a leo doing suicide runs to farm credits with a 5% survive rate.

Tanitha: I doubt there is anything hidden, as in nothing changed without us being informed.
Because Ive not even updated yet. I don't usually run the launcher and just run the game directly.
The version number didn't change, so it still works with or without any patches.
When there is changes the patch number changes too.

Tanitha: Its currently scheduled for march, that was the latest date given anyway.
Closing the thread. since there is nothing to discuss here. And will pm you the reply.

LiannaSilverwind: I responded to Halfik's proposal of being able to buy CBT account to get free xp for credit card money. Therefore we could pay for our free xp and then pay for gold, therefore gaining TT10 vehicles immediately. I apologize if I confused you.
Is it more clear? Thank you for stopping using sentences like

LiannaSilverwind: It does not make you sound better, just more nervous in attempts to sound serious and persuade us that your proposal is worthy of consideration. Thank you.

LiannaSilverwind:

Tanitha: You are not a beta tester for starters.
# Group: Members
If you were you would be group "beta testers"
You need to get a key, (from the announcement in this section)
And make a beta account. download and install the game, etc etc
Good luck.

Tanitha: You may call your clan, a squadron if you like,
Locking the old thread.

Tanitha: Its a release function, not in use yet.

Overlord: Spotting system - yes.
In terms of balance there will always be something to complain about.

Tanitha: Moving to the beta section of the forums.

Overlord: Are you an oracle? The performance of all newly added vechiles is still to be assessed. Personal impressions are important, but only together with impartial figures they make complete picture.
People are pretty much the same everywhere.

Tanitha: # Group: Members
You do not have a beta account yet.
You can grab a key here.

Overlord: Still need to designate and model that 15cm KwK44 for E100...

Overlord: Can't give even a rough date at the moment. Likely that along with French tanks, after Lowe, KV-5, Pz. 38 NA, KV-13, and US TD line are added.
E-series will be added after release, so there will be no more wipes after the game goes live.
Mudguards are to be fixed in the upcoming update. Don't ask me now when it's going to be released.

Overlord: Need to ask our tank experts. I'm not knowledgeable enough. Guess, it's because KT is a well-known real warfare vechile that would require some buffs to become decent tier 9. VK4502 is a prototype, we have more freedom "playing" with its specs.
Actually not the first one. After all, I'm having a day off .

Tanitha: Announcements are there for a reason, please read them before posting.

Locking the thread.

Overlord: A most straight reply, not planning anything until we get statistics at our disposal.
T-54's track repair time will be increased.

Overlord: The new hardware has arrived to its destination. It is being set up at the moment.

Overlord: Rebalancing will take place non-stop after release as well. It's inevitable, the more tanks we have, the more difficult the whole system becomes. Current balance between factions is quite ok, but there are several weak spots like tier 9-10 US tanks, Maus, IS-4 (better than counterparts) and some others. Current trees will be reworked, especially US and Soviet ones. Regarding German tree, production of E-series will be speeded up.
It was our idea to implement French tanks first. Do many people know much about them? Have they been represented in other games much? I think, no to both.

Overlord: Holiday season. Will check the models when it ends.

Overlord:

Overlord: Its performance will be similar to KT's. Tier 8 premium after all.

Overlord: Very soon. I do understand that some got tired of it already.

Overlord: Russian language is not available for close beta client at the moment, but I think we could add it as well. It won't require much time and effort.

Overlord: Holiday season is still on, so it's a bit early to announce the next update. For sure there will be new maps and possibily US TD line, plus multiple fixes. The details will be revealed later.

LiannaSilverwind: I will give you some reasons.
30 top league teams will buy their CB accounts, immediately dividing Clan Wars map for long time. It will take long time for new players to get their TT10, MT9 etc. They will enter the game knowing that their place is in mud, being farmed by 30 top teams, who started top-equipped since the game 1. Will you play such a game? As fresh player I know that I won't.
Russian, EU and US clusters are going to be separate in Clan Wars for a long time, you can check developers' posts about it. Therefore there will be no real advantage after they combine those clusters (if they will ever do it), because every player will have long time to get all vehicles he/she needs.
If we're able to buy CB accounts XP, you can be sure there would be people who will buy gold to get TT10, MT9, SPG7 in the first day as well. Your chance in Clan Wars, even with your free XP, is... let's say... small. Now about numbers: let's say you pay 10 $ per month being played, since July it's 7 months now, that's 70 $. Considering 1 $ is 250 gold on Russian server now, for the same amount you'll get 4.375.000 credits, that should be enough to get your clan's favourite tank for the Day 1. So let's put 140 $ into the game and play with TT 9 vehicle since Day 1.
You will start with MS-1, they will start on IS-7, Maus and T30. Good luck in grinding through company fights and in Clan Wars.
I do not see any need to grind all these tanks, when I can just buy them via gold. Buy Free XP back with credit card, buy gold with credit card, buy my favourite vehicles during first 10 minutes. Enjoy the game and ride them all down!
I am not sure people would like it to be honest.

LiannaSilverwind: Allowing Closed Beta accounts to be bought would lead to instant imbalance in Clan Wars.
In one MMORPG I've played we've had very rich player who bought everything possible for our guild. He was nice shy person who lived in MMORPGs instead of normal life. It helped to tip the balance even more to our favour.
I'd rather see everyone start from the scratch and enjoy the Path once again.

Tanitha: They wouldn't be on the SAME server then....

Overlord: And I'm going to Pershing. See you on the battlefield.

Overlord: Yes, it is possible to contribute to the development of additional language packages. Follow the updates, we are going to recruit volunteers soon.
Again it is possible, but we need to implement all 3 voice packages (English, German, Russian) first.

Overlord: These topics are everywhere:

(given as exapmle)
T-54 is the most contradictory vehicle at the moment.

Overlord: 260mm, but it is still difficult to penetrate.

Overlord: At the moment no major nerfs/buffs for tier 9 mediums are planned. Haven't got any statistics yet.
Regarding T-54, one nerf is obviously to come - increase of track repair time.

Overlord: It downloads only English language on default. Nothing else.

Overlord: It is 1945-1947 prototype.
Version of T-54 with 100mm front armor might be added as well as separate tank.

Overlord: Yes, they are just visuals.

Overlord: Slopes from horizontal are given.
A bit odd to be honest, ususally they are given from vertical. 80deg=10deg
