TheBoz, on 27 October 2010 - 02:31 PM, said: First off, I apologize to all the eighty four people who may have
suffered because of my actions.
Based on a hunch caused by a few games that gave me some strange XP values, I went and did six AFK games, noting the XP rewards. Four defeats and two victories. The XP rewards were pretty odd.
1. Defeat, 86 XP (killed)
2. Victory, 355 XP (survived)
3. Defeat, 90 XP (killed)
4. Defeat, 45 XP (killed)
5. Victory, 152 XP (survived)
6. Defeat, 57 XP (killed)
No Premium. In all six games, my tank, an almost stock KV, remained completely still. While games 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 have a lot of variance, with the difference between games 3 and 4 being 100%, it's not that strange. What's strange is game 2, with the 355 XP reward. Before the fifth game, I thought it was some kind of a survival bonus, but I survived game 5 as well, and got less than half of what game 2 got me.
How would you explain this?

Tanitha: I don't know, but here's my guesses.
I believe you get paid exp for being close to enemy fire.
So if a big tank rocks up and one shots you, or two shots you, then the amount of fire you have been around will be minimal.
If a smaller tank rocks up and fires at the ground near you a few times, you bounce shots, get hit but reflect most of the damage, etc, you could end up being around a lot more enemy fire, before dieing.
Also if you are alone at the base, and 1-2-3-4-5 tank's rocks up, you detect them.
If other tanks are around they might detect them first.
With the exp difference between the surviving games.
I believe damage done to the enemy team, a portion is paid to the whole team.
So in a game where you are the highest tank, not much damage is done to the enemy team to kill them all.
in a game where you are the lowest tank, more damage is needed to be done to kill the enemy team because they are a lot bigger..
In one game you might have killed them all, the other game you might have only killed 1/2 of them and capped.
There is a topic on what earns you exp.

Crew training depends on some factors, like if the crew survive.

And it answers the questions above.

And the game open for a few mins after each game, So you can chat, brag, discuss, organize a platoon with people you just played with. etc etc.
At the moment, you don't know if the guy who got 0 kills was afk all game, or damaged 10 tanks.
And after the game you cant even say GG before you are thrown out and to the garage.

Tanitha: Discussion of the closed beta is limited to the closed beta section
of the forums.
players are allowed to "suggest" to the devs after 50 posts, but usually people just post into descussion, if it ends up being a good idea, we move it to dev suggestions.
So I'll move this post to closed beta / discussion.
As for your topics.
Balance, is team balance, Are the two teams equal. it has nothing to do with individual balance.
No all the tanks in a game aren't the same tier, and they dont have to be, as long as the team's are balanced.
Each tank can help bring down a superior tank, even if you cant solo it one on one.
Smaller tanks can also scout, and kill artillery, and work in packs.
I personally don't think there is a problem with the "individual" balance. But they are making some tweaks soon anyway.
The team balancing could use a few tweaks imo, and they are coming too.
Regards.
*Edit,, nvm since the post doesn't have a proper topic, and the topics been discussed many times. Closed and filed..

Tanitha: If you run two monitors, your graphics card's power is split.
If you run a game full screen like Wot, Civilizations, most others, its using too much of the graphics card, So it stops displaying the video.
With me at the moment, i can play wot full screen, and watch a video on the second monitor, Using vlc player, which is one of the best. BUT Only if the video is average quality. IE it can play your 480p 300meg a tv show, 700 meg a movie, but it wont play higher quality 720p movies. IE my graphics card wont handle a high res video and a full screen game. It will handle a average res vid and a full screen game.

Tanitha: Ventrilo is the best for clans under 100. But ventrilo servers are
expensive.
Hosting your own ventrilo server only holds 8 i think it is.
For clan's above 100 teamspeak is better, is has a lot of extra control features that ventrilo doesn't have.
Hosting your own teamspeak server holds 32, and can be increased in groups of 32 I think.
Skype is more for phone call type comms, not really for groups of people.
There's also a few others, like mumble, and game tracker.
*Edit, as said below GSC also, but that's what i meant by game-tracker, I think its part of that same company.

Tanitha: Oh, I'm sorry, i did look you up in game before i posted, you had
under 50 games in the leo, So I assumed you weren't maxed yet.
As for shooting leo's. I usually 1 shot, 1 kill them with auto aim, You have to when ammo's 1100 each. Yes if you put auto aim on and shoot them you said 1/4 but i think its more like 1/10.. But if you put auto aim on and just wait 5-10-15 seconds until the leo is going directly towards or away from you and the light turns green, bang-dead.
Leo's have to keep a 90o angle between themselves and other tanks, and avoid going towards or away from another tank. This is a bit hard when you are in their base and their is 4-5 other tanks looking at you waiting to shoot.

moiety, on 25 October 2010 - 12:04 PM, said: Also more broadly, I can't see any reason to invest in long range
guns in the game. It's very difficult to hit anything beyond a
hundred meters or so, especially when they're moving. Outside about
two hundred meters (?) tanks start to "warp" around, jumping from
place to place. That also makes hitting things at long range a task
that seems to lend itself only to artillery. For those of you with
the "long guns", what techniques do you use to get a good shot? Do
you think the auto aim is important at all?

Tanitha: Play more mainly, leopards arent that good until they are fully
upgraded with a 100% crew.
Their advantage is speed, and that's something you don't have until they are maxed.

Tanitha: Warping is fixed, it will be patched in in one of the next patches.

Tanitha: The IS's are a nice series of tanks, level them up -> IS 3-4-7
and you will have yourself a nice tank.
I dislike TD's personally, a tank that can only shoot forward is too much of a penalty for me.
+ I prefer a aggressive front line roll.

Tanitha: Hi Paimonn, I was chat modding at the time and seen the situation
from start to finish, I think there was 3 mods on at the time but
there could have been 4. You might not have seen that I was on
because the other mod was on top of things, so there was no need
for me to intervene or do any modding.
In that particular situation, I would have also issued a 3 day chat ban, And upon receiving your PM (which Ive read), I would have directed you to email administration (community@worldoftanks.com) to dispute the ban, like the rules state should be done, I wouldn't have reduced the ban.
As you know the game is in beta, What you might not consider is that the rules are in beta as well : ).
The main problem I see with your post, Is that you feel the need to question the rules, or more accurately the mod's interpretation of the rules, and their enforcement upon someone breaking them. It would be nice if things were clearer, so you weren't left wondering these things. I believe that the player rules, moderator guidelines, suggested ban times, etc are getting a overhaul at the moment, So I wont answer or address your questions directly, until that is finished. But we are currently working on making things clearer.
For swearing, at the moment the rules are here.

Tanitha: They state no profanity/swearing.
Id guess the main reasoning for that rule is that.
1. The current chat filter in game, like most chat filters, doesn't work very well. It doesn't censor all the variations of swear words, and it ****'s out valid words. So many people switch the censor off because its so annoying.
2. The forum currently doesn't have any filter, One is being worked on at the moment.
3. The game I believe is currently not rated, so open to all of all ages.
As for the mod's interpretation of the rules, and ban periods applied. Each mod is slightly different.
I personally just verbally warn for anything that I conciser minor. Anything above that a 1 -> 14 day chat ban is placed. If it is very bad chat logs are then forwarded onto Dev's with a request for a temporary game ban or permanent game ban as well.
If it continues after a warning, then its now a different situation, Its not a accidental use of a minor swear word, its premeditated and done purposefully knowing they were just asked not to. In this situation I up the ban times issued, with a minimum of 3 days. To me your situation would have falled into this. Which is why I also would have applied the 3 day ban.
Have a read through the game rules, forum rules, and the Terms of service on the WoT website. you will find many other things covered except swearing, Like discussions on political or religious topics, and the use of caps lock, etc.
With 160k users and rising quickly. Moderation has to be sufficient to keep the place under control.

Tanitha: Its not a matter of nationality's with moderation, the mod's are
from many countries. I for example am from Australia, and i'm very
used to playing with and swearing with American's. However I limit
my swearing to our clan forums and teamspeak, because its not
allowed in the games forums and game chat. There is a time and
place for swearing, The WoT forums and game chat isn't the place.
If you want to play and swear do it on a ventrilo/teamspeak with
your platoon mates or clan mates.

Tanitha: If you are finding the game boring after 1 day of playing 59 games
then that's not a good sign for you. Maybe its not your type of
game?
Ive played 3200+ games recently (Since the recent soft-wipe) and don't find it boring at all..
Playing a great game with great friends on Teamspeak, sounds fun to me..
But there is other types coming, The main one being clan wars.

You cant post anywhere for 14 days.

Tanitha: No I don't think it is this time Vuk, It seems to be a different
problem..
So today I've been platooned with a few guys, No problems, no drop to garage problems, no real lag problems.
But occasionally you just drop out mid game and it comes up with "connection lost" and you exit the game back to the login screen.
From there you cant login at all "cant connect" 5-10 minutes later, you can connect and play again.
Now, this happened to me 5-6 times, and all of those times, my platooned friends and everyone else in the game had no problems at all, it was just me. The server wasn't down for them, just me.
I'd guess the internet has problems somewhere between WOT's servers and me. Its like a pileup in the middle of the city, if that's the path/road you are on and using, its blocked, but if you are taking a different route, there is no pileup problems at all.
So I don't believe it is a WOT problem, and internet problems like this usually get fixed eventually over X hours..

Tanitha: Its not something that needs to be worked on at the moment.
The drop to garage bug is fixed, and will be patched in over the next planed series of patches.
Servers are planned to be upgraded.
And now is the daily server reset.
So. all of these they are already on top of.
So I'll close this thread.

Tanitha: You dug up a 6 weeks old post that's a bit out dated now, So I'll
lock and file it in the trash.
More than likely there wont be a hard-wipe until release.
There is no planned soft-wipe that I'm aware of, but if they need to do one they will.
Us tanks might be 2-3 weeks. but they will come when the servers etc are ready.
