Overlord: Updating the web, should be fully functioning in 15 minutes.

Overlord: Yes, currently we are working on improved physics, some of the changes might come in 7.0.

Overlord: 1. There is a certain advantage indeed, but it is not crucial. Planning to rework old maps gradually (the way Pagorki map was redesigned).
2. Taking into account its size and gun, it's ok.

Overlord: Unfortunately there is no answer to any of the above currently.

Overlord: http://game.worldoft.../in_development
End of June - beginning of July, we will stick to this time frame.

Overlord: 1. If we manage to finish it by the release of 6.6, then yes. The probability is high.
2. Applies to medium path only.

Overlord: M26 Pershing: win ratio - 53.47%, avg experience - 508.
Panther 2: win ratio - 51.35%, avg experience - 480.
T-54: win ratio - 51.13%, avg experience - 474.
Overpowered T-54 is a myth, wrong common belief.

Overlord: Screenshots and stats will be available closer to the release of 6.6.

Overlord: 1. Becomes tier 8 premium.
2. See 1.
3. Under consideration currently.
4. Equipment will be sold, M103 will get the same module setup you had on T34. The rest is correct.

Overlord: It is very unlikely to happen, T34 doesn't fit tier 9 properly.

Overlord: We had to artificially overrate its specs so as he could be more or less competitive at tier 9.

Overlord: Yes, tier 9 medium can't be missing in the tree under any circumstances.

Overlord: These are unofficial figures gathered by players.

Overlord: Full patch notes are not available yet. The extended version should come along with the launch of public test.

Overlord: Premium TDs are not planned currently.

Overlord: 1. T23 will be temporarily removed from the game. Yes, there is a chance it will become premium one day.
2. It will keep the 2nd 90mm, one couldn't ask for a better setup.
3. You will be able to assess them during public test.
4. 1 coin max, I believe.

Overlord: Where exactly?

Cheeka: World of Tanks Is For You!

LiannaSilverwind: I had an honour to drive Pershing (300 battles), Panther II (200 battles) and T-54 (500 battles) in CBT. I still stand by my opinion on:
Elite Panther II vs. Elite T-54 one on one duel -> Elite Panther II should win. Reason: higher accuracy and DPM. Same for Pershing.
I respect your opinion as well.

Vallter: We were on it, should be updated now.

Vallter: lt300 removed from the winners list. Also his participation in all further WG events will be always denied.

OldFox: Es pikritu, ka WoT ir tala no pilnibas. Bet WG ir loti atkalata diskusijam ar speletajiem un ir tuvu mums. Pameginiet Blizzardiem kaut ko uzrakstit

Vallter: After a heated debate, we finally came to our decision. Allow me to assure you that this has been one of the hardest contests to judge. A lot of interesting and excellent works were submitted and more often than not, it was very difficult to choose between them.
We assembled a group of ten judges, who all carefully read the submitted works and gave them a score out of ten-point system.
We read many pieces that were very good, but unfortunately did not fulfil the main requirement: you had to write about your best battle. Nevertheless, we still awarded some of them as they were of such a high standard.
In some poems, the lyrics were connected with some beautiful melodies but we were unable to give any additional points to these poets. But stay tuned! As we will soon run a “Tank-Mix” contest and you will soon be able to participate.
The team at Wargaming.net would like to take this opportunity to thank all the participants! We really enjoyed reading the poems, but it is now time to get to the part you have all been waiting for and announce the winners!
The winner is Doofus with his entry:

The World changes, this digital age,
We play our games, time turns it's page.
Each day we hunger, we wait for the night,
to meet with our friends, to fight the good fight.
This game that we play, this social attraction,
Is filled with fire, with tension, and action.
The wars that we wage, the thrill of the victory,
Our online generation, inspired by history.
We drive forth our Tanks, we meet on the field
The metal surrounds us, our weapon, our shield.
The foes that I fight comprise every nation,
British, French, Russian, Dutch, German, Croatian.
The first fight an enemy, the next one, a friend,
Our historical shackles, we dismiss and transcend.
We're no longer bound by political ties,
Our nations united, as friends and allies.
It seems strange to think, not so long ago,
These pixels we ride in were not just for show.
Our monsters of battle, our armour and guns,
Once caused devastation to fathers and sons.
Now in our friendship, they're monsters no more,
no longer reminders of the horrors of war.
Now they unite us, instead of divide,
Allow us to play, form friendships worldwide.
Our barriers lowered, these great beasts of War,
Remind us all deeply, we battle no more.
kosmo24 receives the silver prize and 4000 Gold

Motto:
„There’s always a bigger fish in the sea...
There’s always a bigger tank in the World Of Tanks”...
A tale of blowing up to smithereens
Of dust and and smoke and wreckage left behind
With iron monsters dead-alive
Just barely for them to give
My tale the truth, a honest story,
A proof of glory and brave men.
...
...And suddenly I feel a tremor
That’s deep inside, inside my chest
As I gaze thru the scope and lens
Of this, the mighty beast with
It’s big horn appointed in the front
And legs of metal torn somehow
That they resemble with a shield
Of plates sewed up together
That go both forward, backwards
And in circles; and thus,
Those feet with claws grip up the dirt
As they chew distance in the speed
To catch the prey,
A smaller beast.
I’m going fast and now my tank
Is almout twice the size of it,
It’s nearly over as I ride
Just crashing mad my target’s lid.
He’s blown into a thousand pieces
By shere force of beastly size,
The poor thing was a much younger
And softer version of my brute.
I emphasize of what I did,
Just for a moment as I see
A bigger monster at the corner
And my knees start to shake a bit.
I shoot my deadly darkened arrow,
Of steel and bolts and nails combined,
And I imagine it would kill the mighty beast
In jus one hit,
But as I look again it’s over,
This time for me, as I am shot.
My enemy survived my blow
And hit me back instead with rage
And now I’m crippled and he’s not
And I start dying and I sink
Into my desperation as I see
His bigger, better and he’s mean.
The fire’s burning me alive
And as life fades away, I shoot
The monster one last time,
He’s hurting more, but he’s not dead,
I only hope some other tank
Will finish him and take his wage.
...
And as for me, I say my prayer
And I go...
And leave my name in history.
boredguy13 and his poem are on the third place

I've finised eating,
Homework is done,
Time to start playing
With my VK 3001.
Got the H version yesterday
After I came from school
And I'll get the P on Tuesday,
(Sorry,math exam on Monday)
I know,that's not cool.
I quickly click on "Battle!",
The game starts to load,
I nervously await the rattle
Of tank tracks on the road.
As I start to move
We immediately lose a tank;
The poor guy got shot
For crashing into someones track.
As I camp on a hill for months,
Three light tanks appear.
They seem to have good guns,
But are only fifth tier
To shoot or not to shoot,
What should I do?
I can easily kill one,
But what about the other two?
A teammate shoots one,
But i decide to show off;
Few seconds later, I hear twice:
"They're knocked off"
After two more kills,
My killcount is now at four.
I now leave the hills,
Because I crave for more.
But I made a big error,
Actually, a colossal one.
My excitement turnes into terror
When both my tracks are gone
"Who's shooting me?"
I wondered furiously
As my ears were hearing:
"Fire, put it out quickly!"
The Commander is knocked out!
The main gun is destroyed.
The engine is cutting out!
Vehicle destroyed!
I realised what happened,
My mouth released words like a flurry
Something said by lots of people:
"NOT ANOTHER ARTILLERY!!!!!1"
Special prize (750 Gold) goes for:
Silu_0

Artillery
Countdown, quiet music, silent bird’s trill
Quick look at their list – deep breath, sigh and thrill
God Save the Tank, it will be a party
Two Buses, Dracula, they got three nice arty!
Countdown ends, purr, commander’s shout
Through the roar of the engine “Time to roll out!”
There is the first target, King Tiger ahead
Soon, my dear friend, soon you will be dead
BAM, says my cannon, nice shot – say my crew
I am really proud, their HP split in two.
He’s dead moment later, my teammates got view
They started to pound him (I feel so secure!)
Wait…
I can see Leopard, hiss, Thump and KABOOM!
Sigh…
Freaking scout.
“Everyone get out!”

LiannaSilverwind: With top gun you will absolutely and utterly destroy top gun T-54. Stock vs stock T-54 will win due to its armor.
If you seek ultimate sniper, go Panther II. If you seek best DPM, go Pershing. If you want to go Vzoooom-rush, go T-54.

Overlord: We are planning to introduce subdivisions/tiers for company battles. Supposedly in v.7.0.

Overlord: Wrong description in the Guide. Thanks for pointing it out.

Overlord: Tier XI+ vehicles are not planned.

Overlord: S51: avg exp per battle - 352, win ratio - 48.45%
M12: avg exp per battle - 362, win ratio - 49.51%
Sorry, no buffs for M12. Apart from credit income fix.

Overlord: Yes, HE shells can bounce.

Overlord: 1. There were no such changes to VK4502. Must be bad luck.
2. E50 will be implemented sooner or later. We are not sure whether this vehicle make it to 0.6.6 or not.

Overlord: 1. True.
2. Initially clan wars were regarded as end-game / high level content.

Overlord: M103 will get a crew with 100% skill.

Overlord: Basically we are satisfied with the current metodology. Win ratio takes into account all players/skills and all vehicle setups which gives good results if sample exceeds 10k battles.

LiannaSilverwind: Take into account angle and range travelled.

LiannaSilverwind: IS-7 win/loss ratio is 2% lower than T30 and Maus. T30 and Maus have similar values now.
Boost of IS-7 is not planned before T30 goes TD line and is replaced by new US heavy tank and new stats are being checked.
Original post:
http://forum.worldof...ost__p__2890460
Conclusion: evil conspiracy! T-54 - worst, IS-7 - worst, Object 291 - worst with T92.

Overlord: Personally I like to play counter-arty. Just got my Su-14 and I feel like I'm missing something.

LiannaSilverwind: In case you will find any similar data about auctions, please send them straight to support@worldoftanks.eu, so that they will deal with it.

LiannaSilverwind: If I would be able to find out more statistics about population numbers, tank stats, tank prowess, etc., I will publish them as well. For now, unfortunately, we are very limited in knowledge of stats. Forum polls rarely get above 500-1000 votes that are just too few people comparing to server population of hundreds thousands.

Overlord: And it was announced that it would be partial. The aim was to bring back some of the atmosphere. The fix is still in development.

Cheeka: i've never thought that overlord looked like a bush!

Cheeka: Tracers To Be Back
Back to article

Overlord: Depends on what kind of ticket it is. If it is payment/billing related one, may take more time.

Overlord: http://overlord-wot....d-improved.html
Players who have a T34 in their garage at the time of the revision will have it replaced with a M103 with the respective module setup and a 100% crew (top module T34 -> top module M103).
Additionally they will also get a T34 as a premium tank with the old crew and an extra garage slot.

Overlord: 1. Practically these 3 make the same vehicle.
2. It will be competitive enough to become a solid tier 9 medium.

Overlord: No.

Overlord: Gun depression of course.

Overlord: Tracer effects got hacked once again after 6.4 release.

Overlord: Speaking of T28 and T95 that are about to be added soon, they will enjoy different models (and armor), guns, tracks. The difference is going to be substantial.

Overlord: 1. Yes, there are targeted response times for each ticket type.
2. Tickets don't remain unanswered for no reason. Support management is aware of the issue.
3. You got your answer at least.

Overlord: Would be better not to disclose anything until the public test, many things are still subject to change.

Overlord: Definitely not in the near future.

Overlord: Not sure yet, my personal estimation is within 2-3 weeks.

Overlord: Yes, correct.

LiannaSilverwind: Some people use derp as short-barreled gun, like KV-2 (152 mm) has.

OldFox: Doctus jau uzrakstija, kas notiek. Sodien solija visu izlabot. Izveido dubulto maksasanas iespeju - WebMoney macinu, un izmanto wmz.lv. Divi servisi vienlaicigi nevar nestradat

LiannaSilverwind: Nope, I just love statistics and collecting.
Every player knows that .

Cheeka: Labour Booklet. Community and Content
Back to article

LiannaSilverwind: These were SerB's answers to questions. He was asked about exact SPG stats and he answered about current T-54 situation as well.
I would like to get all data on all tanks, but I can only collect things that are posted.

admin: The insight into WOT-project is continued. We are going on with the revelations of our internal secrets but we keep the best bits for later and proceed with the description of how the operation of the game works. Today the department that appeared under our thorough examination is…ours, of the people who deal with you, dear players! We are called Community and Content department and the managers of the department are serving as a link between you and the developers. You’ve seen us already featuring in Beginner’s Diaries but then you were reading mostly about our leisure. However we do work! And this blog post is all about our daily routine and how we deal with…you!
As you can probably gather, we work in two different directions – the audience from Russian and other Russian-speaking countries and the players who enjoy playing World of Tanks on European and American servers. Obviously we are going to acquaint you with those whose nicknames you see regularly on forums.
And here is the face of the community:
Veniamin aka Zephid, Community Dept Lead

“Despite rare acrid comments we do not want to spare the game from players! Our main task is to make the community happy by means of some game-related entertainment including events and specials. We tend to make it comfy for fun, communication, creativity. No game exists without players and that’s why our department’s functions are crucial as we work with the players’ feedback, statistics, preferences, actions…” Zephid says.
In other words, what we do here is checking on you, guys! We are responsible for dealing with players in terms of their obeying the rules of the game, solving conflicts, proceeding feedback, informing you about the news within the project and its plans, organize events and specials.
Actually you should be a little apprehensive of us… We are strict when it comes to dealing with players violating the rules of the game.
And the terror of all the breakers is embodied in the name of Gustav_Fuchs (aka Andrey) whose responsibilities include banning accounts in case of different violations. He is a real threat not only for independent players but also for whole clans. He deals with all problems regarding these alliances of players and he also has the right to disband clans.
Gustav_Fuchs aka Andrey

“The thing I really like about what I am doing is its tight connection with history. Very often I cannot make a decision without a thorough look through reliable historical sources and consulting numerous specialists,” - Gustav_Fuchs says adding that the very best about his job is the preparation of info about in-game vehicles and those to be implemented in-game later.
As for violating the rules we analyze each situation separately and the degree of seriousness influences the choice of punishment. To help us out we gathered a team of reliable and dedicated moderators who are always there to check the forum threads and monitor the general atmosphere reigning on the community portal.
Obviously, the same scheme is applied to encouraging the players. Hard to imagine our life without World of Tanks contributors’ help. We observe their work and do our best to encourage them accordingly. Owing to their active participation in all aspects of the life of community the work of community managers goes smoothly and the communication between developers and players is being executed successfully.
The person responsible for the coordination of moderators’, translators’ and basically all outsourcers’ work is known among players as mediahead. media aka Alexey fancies the job a lot as it always brings something new.
mediahead aka Alexey

“I have a great deal of routine work that I am supposed to do always but every week I am trying to find something new to work on. Currently we are preparing the launch of some new projects including the one for newbies that will help newcomers to get adapted fast and WOT-radio that we are working on together with the players. I am open to new ideas and initiatives from our players and I always support them. So, do not hesitate if you believe you have a worthy idea to suggest!”, mediahead explains. He also added that at the moment he is busy with preparation to Electronic Entertainment Expo – E3 – which takes place in Los Angeles. So, if you want to see him in person, you know when and where to find him - Los Angeles Convention Center June 9-11. By the way, the exhibition promises to be great! Just imagine the three real tanks – American, German and Soviet – that have been rented by Wargaming.net to organize a parade along the streets of the city of angels. Apart from that on June 10 everybody who happens to be in LA will get a chance to catch up with the devs (and media) for real in a friendly atmosphere of a cafe specially rented for WOT-gathering (follow http://game.worldoftanks.com/news/ for details and updates).
Possibly the most fantasy and energy-consuming part of the job of community-managers is organizing events and specials. This deal of work is mostly under the control of our youngest representative – Valter aka Vladimir. There’s no end of creativity in this community-manager and in the sphere of dealing with players creativity is a must!
Valter aka Vladimir

“My job is really interesting. I deal with users every day and each of them is unique and interesting. My working day starts with checking forums and PMs to find out what issues are of greatest interest and importance for players. My main goal is to help them and make their day as good as mine!” Valter admits.
Although the guys work really hard, you would never know that without the news feed on our community portal. The news feed update is the main responsibility of content-managers who work side by side with their community counterparts.
Mad_Hatter aka Veronica prepares news and supervises the US community portal, namely the news articles threads, in order to obtain the correct feedback which will eventually be passed on to the developers.
Mad_Hatter aka Veronica

“I adore my job as I am a kind of a megaphone that broadcasts WoT news to all its players. The opportunity to present news in an exceptional way seems too yummy to miss it! And surely, communicating with our noble warriors gives me perfect basis for self-enrichment,” Mad-Hatter confesses.
Same task on the European server is performed by Cheeka aka Irina, whose favourite thing about the job is spotting game-related news and issues, making interviews with players winning competitions and contests and presenting them in blog posts or news feed.
Cheeka aka Irina

“WOT is not just a game, it’s the means of uniting completely different people who have their different reasons for spending time on battlefields or forum threads discussing game-related and non-game stuff. And that’s always fun and joy to learn what players are when they are not in a tank,” Cheeka reveals.
All devoted tankers know that the main sources of information – community portals - are in English. It could be a trouble for a lot of those Europeans who speak English not well enough or do not speak it at all. The intermediates between such players and the devs are the community managers speaking German and Polish and our helpful outsources from France, Spain, Hungary, the Czech Republic etc.
Gretchen aka Margarita is a life-line of the German-speaking community. Alongside moderators Gretchen deals with all the issues the German-speaking players are worried about. She is also the one who has been responsible for the translation of the game client and the localizations in German. Those who want to meet her in person will get this chance during the exhibition in Koln in August.
Gretchen aka Margarita

“The job allows me to communicate with people from different parts of the world. Although I speak German and English, I prefer to work with the former and it makes me really happy that I am helping the whole of German-speaking community to enjoy World of Tanks to the full scale in their native language. And the thing that makes me proud is that we all are working on the project that has been developed by ourselves,” Gretchen resumes.
Polish-speaking players can also enjoy the game in their native language owning to the help of Schperling aka Pavel. Taking into account that the Poles are really active participants of different events and tournaments (which, by the way, are also coordinated by Schperling), his knowledge of Polish is to everyone’s avail. Currently Schperling is busy with the organization of the Grand Finals of Ural Steel Championship that will take place in Moscow shortly.
Schperling aka Pavel

“I get great pleasure from organizing WOT-tournaments as the game concept is just perfect for organizing cybersport events. And before Ultimate Conquest was introduced in WOT, tournaments were the only means for players to show their combat skills. However the appearance of Ultimate Conquest won’t stop the series of competitions and tournaments. Quite the opposite, we are preparing a range of captivating struggles not only on the global map,” Schperling reveals a bit of a secret. Together with Schperling Electro Bragin aka Alexey is also busy with the organization and coordination of the tournaments.
Electro Bragin aka Alexey

By the way all tournaments markings, all banners and other designs on the web appear owing to work of another soldier of the community front – juraj aka Anton. In other words, he makes the life on our portal beautiful!
juraj aka Anton

However the main secret of our department won’t be revealed in this blog post. The person who knows answers to all of the questions (the main Q(uestion)A(nswer)-specialist) – Overlord – has decided not to give out any detail about himself.
“Everything players might be interested in, they will find in my blog,” Overlord states. Well, what can we add? Read Overlord’s blog!
Getting more and more involved? More stuff is coming soon. Do not miss it!

Overlord: Yes, the link should be added in 6.5.

Overlord: T34 is going to be purchasable in store.
It should enjoy the same income/costs.

Overlord: There were no changes apart from those mentioned in the patch notes.
It sucks, but we were forced to do that.

Overlord: 1. We are planning to make gold transfers available for all players. Improving the security of the service at present.
2. Can't give any ETA.

Overlord: Premium account brings 50% more credits, allows to create platoons and companies. These features are working fine, the servers are stable.
There is nothing to compensate.

Overlord: The issue escalated to a such degree that it was necessary to disable this feature.

Overlord: Auctions/trading have been frozen, might be even cancelled.

Overlord: Yes, correct. Researched top turret for T34 will give you researched top turret for M103. Experience will be transferred to M103.

Overlord: Don't know yet. Will be still assessing the situation. Currently we are not ready to change the existing concept.
Thank you.

Overlord: I think you can just google it, you will find plently of images featuring "Star Wars mod" for World of Tanks.

Overlord: 1. Actually there is a 30 mins gap between the two. EU restarts at 5:00 UTC, RU - at 5:30 UTC.
2. A minor hardware issue, had to exclude one of the servers and reconfigure the cluster.

Overlord: No, it doesn't.

Overlord: If we started handing out premium for free, would we still release patches and new content?

Overlord: Your signature speaks for yourself, the bottom line question was answered a few posts above. The previous question is rhetorical it doesn't require any reply.

LiannaSilverwind: Strange, I kinda like that thread. Will move it into Off-topic and open it.

LiannaSilverwind: Universal law of MMOs:
If you kill someone, you must be cheater, hacker, lucker or at least n00b.

Kad tu saki spelet WoT, tev godigi saka: "Mums trukst ta un ta, pie ta un ta mes stradajam, tas un tas tiks ievests aptuveni XX.XX.XXXX, bet parejais - ASAP (as soon as possible)".

Padies dievam, ka man izdevas "izsist" naudu uz speles atsaknosanu latviesu valoda.
Vienigais, kur mes esam pa prieksu visiem, tas ir lokalizacijas kludu un bagu labosana - saja joma mus slave. Bet parejais ir ka ir.

Overlord: Most likely it was a local issue.

Overlord: I think it will be announced when French tree is added to the game.

Overlord: 1. We do play the game and know what the removal of tracer effects mean. It was a coercive measure.
2. Nope, not going to change it.

Overlord: Credit transfers are very unlikely to be added because of the clickers/keyloggers/bots that allow to farm credits easily. Only if we get rid of them all one day.

Overlord: 1. It has not gone any worse. 6.5 and 6.6 are content updates.
2. Yes.

Overlord: 1. Not planning any resets currently.
2. Don't know. Submit a ticket to support.

Overlord: Tier 4 lights will have their MM spread decreased then.

Overlord: Yes, correct.

Overlord: Max penetration is achievable within 0-100m range.

Overlord: "Logs" were used for pulling tanks out if they got stuck.

Overlord: N/A at this time.

Overlord: 1. Yes, most likely.
2. Premium users don't pay for tracer effects.

Overlord: http://uc.worldoftan.../expansion.html
Encounter battles always start in 30 minutes after Prime Time. If an encounter battle ends in a draw, both clans are considered defeated. All defeated chips are removed to reserve. All chips from the winning clan continue their movement and participate in the battle for province, which starts in 90 minutes after Prime Time.
The first battle will occur in 90 minutes after Prime Time between the owner and one of the attacking clans. All battles for the province which is attacked by several clans will occur one after another with 30 minutes interval between each battle. The winner of the last battle in such series becomes a new owner. For the battle with the owner, clans are picked randomly out of the list of all clans applied for that battle.

Overlord: Haven't decided on it yet.

Overlord: The reasoning behind this was to combat massive cheating, not to deprive players of an important part of gameplay.
