Tanitha: Good questions, but I don't think you will get any valid answers yet. The game's still under construction.

Tanitha: Set to read only for 3 days, please read the forum rules during that time.
2.1 Forum etiquette
Do not abuse others, make personal attacks or behave disrespectfully. This prohibition applies to both public threads and private messages (PMs). Disrespect can include
1. flaming;
2. trolling;
3. harassing or defamatory (insultingly refer to others people or groups of people; ongoing harassment to other people or groups of people). Harassment takes many forms, and is not necessarily limited to the type of language used, but the intent. Repeatedly targeting a specific player with harassment can lead to more severe action. The idea behind this is to prevent any one player from consistently being uncomfortable in the World of Tanks forums;
4. profanity;
5. inappropriate language or abbreviations;
6. personal attacks (this includes, but is not limited to, insulting a poster directly);
7. racial, religious, ethnic slurs or language;
8. sexual slurs (sexual preference, pornography, nudity, naked images or adult content); or similar or language.
If a member is found to have participated in such actions, he/she will:
• Be temporarily banned from the World of Tanks forums
• Be given a final warning, any further violations may result in permanent ban from the forums
2.4 Off Topic, spamming and trolling
This category includes:
• Excessively communicating the same phrase, similar phrases, or pure gibberish
• Creating threads for the sole purpose of causing unrest on the forums
• Causing disturbances in forum threads, such as picking fights, making off topic posts that ruin the thread, insulting other posters
• Making non-constructive posts
• Abusing the Reported Post feature by sending false alarms or nonsensical messages
• Numbering a thread, IBTL, TLDR, or any other fad statements
Please make sure that you post your new threads and postings in the appropriate forum. This helps your fellow players and us to maintain an overview and so be able to respond faster with an appropriate answer to your question. Before beginning a new thread, look to see if an active thread on that topic has already been established using the Search feature. If so, place your comments there instead. Keep discussions about one topic to one thread only.
Posts which drift off topic, or content-free posts will be edited or removed. Posting multiple messages with the same content across several forums is unwelcome and inappropriate, since such activities divide the targeted discussions and makes gathering feedback considerably more difficult for us. Such ‘cross posts’ will be merged, closed and redirected or removed. Before beginning a new thread, look to see if an active thread on that topic has already been established using the Search feature. If so, place your comments there instead. Keep discussions about one topic to one thread only.
If a member is found to have participated in such actions, he/she will:
• Be given a temporary ban from the World of Tanks forums, depending upon severity

Tanitha: Enter to open chat.
Type the message.
THEN control + enter to send that to both teams.
Or Enter to sent it to your team.
Green writing = to your team
White = to both teams.
That work?
I think you were just using contrl enter to open the chat. Not to send it.

Tanitha: Forums?
Where do I post?
The forums are getting cleaned up a bit at the moment, Use this for a guide for starters.
http://forum.worldof...my-post-belong/
Please try to make your posts constructive, with a constructive topic and put them in the right sections. Off topic posts can come with a "read only" forum ban.
Language?
Is swearing permitted?
The rules are here, please follow them and conciser them your warning, another does not have to be issued.
http://forum.worldof.../forum/4-rules/
Swearing can result in your forum permissions being set to read only, Or your in game chat feature being disabled.
Team Killing?
Where / How do I report a teamkiller?
You need to do screen caps, "Ctrl" + "Prt Scr" this will then drop a screen-shot into your game directory. Test it out now and make sure you have it working, so you are prepared. You may also use a program like fraps, to record sceen-shots or video. And then email them into support@worldoftanks.com
But I had a reason for team killing?
Regardless of why you think you had a reason for team shooting/killing, Damaging another tank on purpose or blocking them on purpose is against the game rules. If somebody else breaks the rules please just report them, If you break the rules yourself in retaliation then BOTH of you just end up banned. Do not let people bait you.
Do I just report team killers?
No, You can report people for breaking the game rules.

Tanitha: You can also report people for Inappropriate Names, Abuse, etc.
Medals?
What are they for?
There is a list here.
http://game.worldoft...om/achievements

Tanitha: Modules can be damaged, without you losing HP in game.
So on the garage window, you will need to repair that damage.

Tanitha: Why aint the people that are selected for this doing their job?
Maby its not enough people? (Get more)
They are.
http://forum.worldof...640#entry181640

Tanitha: Are you sure? you still show as "# Group: Members" not beta tester.

Tanitha: If it was your team killing them, it would show, XXXXXXXX killed XXXXXXXX so this isn't the case.
When it shows XXXXXXXXXX went up in flames, it means they quit the game.
I believe this is usually from people doing what is called /ragequit
Omg the other team has a IS7 and we dont? /ragequit
Omg this map again? I played this the last 3 games. /ragequit
Campinova? I don't like that map. /ragequit
Omg 5 arty on each side? /ragequit
Omg I'm a T3 and have t8's in the battle? /ragequit
Etc Etc Etc..
It would probably be nicer if the penalties for quitting where higher, to prevent this more, because its not very fair on the other 14 team mates.
As for the people who join 1 minute into the game, Some of these have slower computers that take a while to load up. Some have bugs that take them a while to load up. But often they are just ALT TABBED and reading the forums or something for 30 seconds. And they tab back to the game a bit later than they expected because they lost track of time.

Tanitha: Hi Coyte, I replied this to another thread yesterday, so excuse me for copy pasting it. But its a very similar answer..

Tanitha: And... The rules are.

Tanitha: So the rules do cover, No intentional BLOCKING as well as damaging or team killing.
But its a little harder to "capture" in one static screenshot. perhaps you could run fraps? and include a video. Or do multiple screenshots to capture the situation.
As for sending multiple photos into WoT its not a problem, But if your Email company only allows say 500k to be attached to emails, then you probably cant send more than one very high res photo. So there is ways around that, like cutting the photos down to a decent resolution like 1024x768 etc.

Tanitha: This account you are posting from, is not currently a beta tester.
See here? <--------------------------------------
You are a "# Group: Members "
You are not "# Group: Beta Testers"
You need to get a invite closed beta key, and enter that. Using the same email etc.
You can get beta keys from websites that are giving them away. Try googling "wot world of tanks free closed beta key give away"
or something like that, you should be able to find a free closed beta key somewhere.

Tanitha: Imagine this, The Eu servers are running well. So the EU servers don't require any further testing.
New USA servers are put up.
Everyone is moved to the USA servers so the USA servers can be "tested".
To start with, the USA server's don't run very well, and they need upgrading, tweaking, etc etc to make them run well.
So your problem isn't, I'm having lag issues because I'm now on the USA server.
The problem is you are now on "new" servers, that aren't running perfectly. This is why everyone's on the USA servers so they can be tested and made perfect.
When the USA servers are perfect, then they will no longer need testing.

Tanitha: Since this thread is currently 5 pages long, its obviously not a simple newbie question.
So, I'll move it from Closed Beta Newcomers' Section -> Closed Beta, Game Discussion.

Tanitha: Problem solved, questions answered.
Thread closed and moved.

Tanitha: Or it might be quicker to get another code?
Try googling "WoT World of tanks Closed beta Key keys" or something similar there's usually a few mmorpg type websites out there that have keys to give away.

Tanitha: Sure, ok..
Locked and dumped.

Tanitha: Nice post pluton ^^ But anyway..
Resurrecting a 6 month old post about release, to reply asking about US tanks.
Is Off Topic.
What is coming when is listed here.
http://forum.worldof...-06x-07-update/
Rommel4444 set to 3 days read only, thread closed and dumped.

Tanitha: There was a sticky post covering this a couple of posts up.
Locked and dumped.

Tanitha: There is a guide here, that explains what earns you EXP.
It will give you a good guide to what earns you credits as well.
http://forum.worldof...-what-will-not/
There was been other posts, asking for breakdowns, like what earns you how much.
http://forum.worldof...__1#entry179979
I personally like the idea of a break down after the game, saying what exp and credits you earned for what.
So a request for more of a breakdown has already been asked, and other posts exist on this topic.
So thread closed.

LiannaSilverwind: Maybe we should be happy that both we and Russians play the same game, but they PAY for their gold, while we get 150 golds per day for free? Because they pay for nearly the same game "as released" (they get patches one-two weeks sooner), while we "betatest" the same thing right now.

LiannaSilverwind: Historical sidenote:
Russian CBT championship was won by a team with German vehicles, check the following thread "Финал"
http://forum.worldof...B0%D0%BB%D0%B0/

LiannaSilverwind: By ingame chat, pinging the map and using all their individual skills to overcome similar individual skills of an enemy random team.

Tanitha: Why is your computer slow? Often a easy way is to Control, Alt, Delete, bring up the system tools, check out your free unused ram and processor use. After checking how much processor etc your computer is using, then get a breakdown to see what programs are using it.
Yesterday i logged in and played a game to find my ping was up to 400 and my fps was 5. i switched my graphics down to low and had another game, It was still the same, Then I cntrl alt deleted, and found I had a resident virus scanner (new) using 50% of my cpu and 50% of my memory.
I obviously uninstalled it..
The game has warping tanks, lag issues, etc etc at the moment, but those shouldn't be making you take 2-3 mins to load up. So id try the above for starters. Its quick and simple.

Its like a German techno dance type music. Quick and upbeat to go on a killing spree in something quick like a leopard or T44.

Tanitha: I think the leopard and then secondly the luch, based on credits earned with time played.
Because that's what you wanted? credits? quick? Not a 15 minute game?
You can play your main tank, and if you die early on, you can often get a game in on the leopard and another game in on the luch while you are waiting for your main tank to come back. 0 time lost a additional 10k each back from the leopard and the luch, so a additional 20k just for waiting for your main game to finish.
Sure you can earn more than 10k on a leopard, and in other tanks too. but the leopard can consistently get 10k profit, average, every game, win or lose, dead or alive (usually dead) Just by being in their base 30 seconds after game starts, scouting 5-10 tanks, killing a arty or two and then dieing, all over in 1.5 mins usually.
This leopard screencap was taken at 12.38 so that is 1 minute and 22 seconds or 82 seconds into the game.
Killed two arty, Capped 100%, won 12-1, game over..

Tanitha: You are bordering on breaking this rule also. I suggest you go have a clear and thorough read through the rules.
They are here..
http://forum.worldof.../forum/4-rules/

Tanitha: Right, I was referring to this article from them.
http://www.mmorpg.co...ure/4478/page/1

Tanitha: Yes lol there is online chess servers. But it was just a example, no biggy : )
The dynamic world map that's coming to WoT will turn it into a MMO imo.

Tanitha: Sure MMO means "massive multiplayer online" however its meaning is lots of people playing the same game.
1 million people playing online chess isn't a MMO, because only two people play against each other at once.
Its 500,000 games of "2 people" so not MMO by definition.
Similarly with WoT at this stage, its not "massive" amounts of people playing the same game, Only 15v's15, so it IMO at the moment falls into a FPS game. It was also dropped as a MMO from a gaming website for that reason, I think it was mmorpg.com
However when that world domination map comes out, then there will be 100,000's of people playing THAT game, THAT world. That changes ownership, and can be built on. So when its finished, then yes it should fall into a MMO based on its descriptions of whats coming.
All just a IMO.. : )

Tanitha: Your warning is here.
http://forum.worldof...?/forum/4-rules
And I have a job description, its not hard to follow, "Ban people who break the rules". Pretty easy really.
Its not my first mod job, even if I am a new WoT mod.

Tanitha: Its a FPS at the moment IMO. But it will be a mmo soon, have you read through this?
http://forum.worldof...bout-clan-wars/

Tanitha: I wanted this and couldn't find it, So pinned : )

Tanitha: Wow this wasn't pinned? Its is now..

Tanitha: We have already chatted just before/after you posted this : )
We have a TS up for platooning, and a clan up on www.insomniaxclan.com
Drop in and check us out.

Tanitha: IF THE UPDATER IS DOWN, run wot.exe

Tanitha: OK. : )

Tanitha: To add a little note to the above, If this effects the "update servers" try logging in directly with the wot.exe file, which will bypass the update servers. That was the case last maintenance
