thePhilX:  damit hat sich das auch geklärt

Zapfhan: Hallo Leute Wer noch immer Fragen, Probleme oder Vorschläge zu Setups hat, kann dies im verlinkten Bereich gerne teilen.  Zubehör 2.0  

Zapfhan: Alle Fragen rund ums Zubehör 2.0 finden hier ihren Platz.     Zubehör 2.0 Hauptartikel - LinkZubehör 2.0 Umwandlungskonditionen - Link Video zu Zubehör 2.0   

Sstyx: Ahoj,stále je to stejné, zmáčkneš v bitvě ctrl - najedeš myší na daného hráče a po levé straně se ti zobrazí + a stačí na něj kliknout. Nebo druhá varianta je, že stiskneš ctrl - najedeš na hráče myší a klikneš na myši na pravé tlačítko a hned jako první možnost je pozvat hráče do čety.Pozor, pokud mají přeškrtnutý kruh, pak mají u sebe v nastavení zaškrtnutou možnost "nedostávat v bitvě pozvánky do čety" a to pak ti opravdu nepůjde je pozvat.

Zapfhan:  

Zapfhan:  Wird/Wurde angepasst. Ich bitte um Entschuldigung. 

Dwigt: The devs feel that it needed an additional buff to be able to compete with other high tier tanks. We'll have to see how it performs and tune it down if it's too op. 

Dwigt: The difference isn't that huge and with the incoming buff it will be reduced even mode. The T 34-2 has a higher DPM overall, the accuracy gap between the two tanks is being reduced. The Type 59 will have a better armor in the end I guess. 

Dwigt: Maybe soon. We're reviewing all the tanks with all the new changes and as I said, it's an ongoing process. 

Sael_:  I still believe you can change.  

Sael_:  It's me and you both waiting for that one to pop up. But we went for something of a greater magnitude, your game doesn't turn 10 every day after all!

vuque:

Sael_:  Do we really want to stop at questioning the semantics of an announcement of this magnitude? World of Tanks is a free to play title - if you want to, you can have all the fun in the world with tons of content within the game, and you don't even have to spend a dime if you don't want to.The game actually costs to make, contrarily to what is said here:

Sael_: As we would like to feed our devs. To make a more complex point very short for brevity, pixels don't look half as nice without the talent to assemble them right.Even a free to play game needs an income, and Premium tanks are an important part of that. Discounting the price of all of them forever is not a small cut, it's actually a big present.  

Sael_:  Yes - to prices!  

Sael_:  If you take a look at the Supertest section of the forum, you will discover that there's a lot of work being done right now on both maps and tank balance, for example.However unpopular this may be to explain, at the moment, the MM is working as intended - a lot of the problems perceived with it, like for example landslide losses, are actually a consequence of bad team-play rather than the Matchmaker.We keep on monitoring the game to make sure to address any problem that might surface with any of its aspects. We do this to improve player experience, out of love for our community and to celebrate our game now turning 10 years old - the same motivations behind the Premium tank price cut, and I'm struggling to see any reason for which it wouldn't be a positive change. And attacking the staff trying to explain changes to you is not going to make your feedback more constructive.   

Actinid:
On se contentera de ceux de VI a VIII .  Sinon, si la question porte sur de prochaines ventes potentielles de tous les véhicules premiums du jeu,  je ne peux pas y répondre. 

Actinid:  Pour répondre à la question, si jamais certains la posent, non des remboursements de la sorte ne sont pas prévus.

vuque:  Thanks for pointing that out, I will poke our content guys!

Delhroh: Hola, Estoy aquí por petición de un usuario. Para incentivaros a dar sugerencias de equipamiento de tier VIII. Entre todas las sugerencias del foro entre hoy y el 30 de agosto sortearé varios días premium.... así que ya sabéis, a participar.... que yo pongo los premios.

eekeeboo: I appreciate the attempt, but please be aware this makes it almost impossible to distinguish in the future.  1) That's the thing, the names still would all need filtering, as you've seen with player names, people can get inventive. Then you add technical requirements, UI rework and so on and so forth. All resources for something that will complicate the UI for the players, which is to be avoided where possible, less clutter and easier to navigate. I know what you mean with research and that's the idea of the firepower, vision and other such mechanics on the tank to help with this. You can make it more constrained but this made it too prescriptive. 2) Think about your above reply with complexity and now further add this element you suggest for the complexity. 3) I mean as in there is a plan to rework the shell type and damage it does and how  4) I know some do, but not all, and it further reinforces to reason not to encourage it further  5) Because you can't say "autoreloaders can't use rammers" and then have lots of exceptions to the rule where people then all start stating said exception (as I'm sure some will to this now). It's better to have a clear and defined process, like autoloaders can't use rammers. It wouldn't have been elegant, it would have been a short term solution that would cause long term problems    15:10 Added after 1 minute

eekeeboo: I say space, because some people never leave tanks, they say they never play the game again, but live on the forums, Reddit, blog sites or troll on streams. Most people when they're abscent, they're never there, someone giving space is in touch but not there in person. And this further highlights the sentimnet to your message and the tone in it. 

parim1331:  W tym wypadku jest to jedynie obniżka. 

eekeeboo: This is an important point, I say some, because the forums do not represent the whole player based on all regions. Even the forums have some people who are positive Hence some, because it's not all or most. What I have since is that people have one small thing they don't like about the patch but like/ambivelant about the rest. But people don't say "I don't like this 5% and love the 95%". People naturally highlight the 5% because that's the thing they want to change and what they want to communicate, and this can skew things if you keep seeing 5% everywhere and you miss the other 95%. (Purely arbritrary but I needed an analogy).  It is good to update and change the game on occasion to keep things fresh, especially something as old as equipment. And this is the thing, you say the way "we all" wanted, but I can tell you without a shred of doubt, there's many from that "all" who had many suggestions to make it how they want because it wasn't at that time. And no person is generally the same personality, looks or even sense of humour they were 20 years ago, they have the same name and same traits, but people evolve and change and mature to adapt to the change in environmen and situations in life. Although if you do find out there's a pony, I suggest you seek medical advice.  Is that the point for contention that now you have to spend more 10 gold? Because in case you missed the point overall this intended to do more good than harm, while free demounting offered nothing "good" than "better than nothing" and "free". The equipment benefits themself.... are still there. And you can earn equipment for free, you can demount them for free if you use credits or grind dailies.... which is actually better than before, when it was for gold or destroy. 

Dwigt: Got the answer and it's a yes.All premium vehicles prices will be reduced. You lose 5% on the selling price and get to buy the new one for the new reduced price. 

eekeeboo: It's important to respond and I want to explain what I can as much as I can If it makes you Friday or even weekend a little better, then success and worth it!  I understand what you mean by tanks too, it's why most maps actually have a lot of variety to them, with most tanks able to perform. But the more open or closed a map is, the more polarising it gets (prok for heavies or himmest for lights for instance). Players are encouraged to really try and push the boundries of play style and those who are bold can sometimes do things fantastic, but it's better to do that when you have a firm grasp on the basics and understand the fundamental roles and positions. As a new player or inexperienced in a certain tank or role, not only the maps confuse, but looking up build guides and some people (like myself in Tank academy) saying put this completely useless equipment on, because it's better than nothing.... It's not a decision made for a reason good for tactics, play style or learning. It's just a "beter than nothing", It's not really a positive behaviour to encourage or form in certain tanks in the long run. And of course having people "kemp bush" in their heavy just because they have binos.... even more "funky".  I can see what you mean by "firing most gold" to mean who does the most damage. But it's usually the team with the most effective scout, best use of armour and people working together. It's possible to bounce plenty of special ammo and thus waste the enemies time and ammo while your teammates farm, though it may result in you having a lacklustre game, at least there's victory for the team. And this teamwork is slightly more likely (or intended to be) when you're not conserving your tank or making it try and do things it shouldn't because of equipment choice. At least now if you invest, you can invest in something that will help not only you, but in the end your teammates. There are only positives for effect on your gameplay in the end. Just negatives if you don't like grinding for demount kits or spending credits from the in-game store to buy them or using gold   And while yes, it's not nice to have tanks purely on certain roles, it helps people waste tanks like tanking a Maus to the climb on mines, or sitting too far back to offer support etc. Some peoples fun as I mentioned it getting free stuff, rather than playing well. Others having fun is more important than playing well. Having fun is a lot eaiser when your tank is doing what it's good at  

Zapfhan:  Nein. Diese Rabatte gelten nur im Rahmen der Jeweiligen Herausforderung und sind nicht auf spätere Angebote übertragbar. 

Delhroh: Siempre cae alguna cosilla a los que llevan un año

Dwigt: You can purchase discounted vehicles both in the game client for gold and in the Premium Shop. 

Dwigt: The price of all premiums has been reduced even the rare ones  

eekeeboo: While I know for you or others base camping bino camo maus isn't an issue because "diverse gameplay" and to extent it's true, but you also want to not encourage that too and having tanks not played in their intended role or having people use the same equipment on every tank because it's free and they see "good" equipment for credits because they don't to use gold to demount. Now it's more... "fair" i think is the word because now there's no weird behaving equipment. Like if a new player sees camo net, let's go, puts on rammer and suddenly they're out of credits and destroy it (like the lower tier changes to fix this too). Overall I do feel this is a positive change, albeit a painful one for players who want to pure F2P and don't like change or grind for demount kits .  So not quite the answer you were expecting, but something along the same vein, it's more about encouraging people to not play "wrong", rather than unfairness.  

eekeeboo: also what is becoming of this world when players are not supposed to carry camonet and binocs with toolbox anymore on a Maus - the world just keeps becoming a darker place . Some people are simply just not happy and want the game to be something it's not. I know player who play purely because it's free and they can get free stuff that would cost money, but have absolutely no fun doing it. I'm being honest and truthful with you that if you have the mindset as the person I replied to (as you can see by their subsequent response) that while I/we would love for a person to keep playing and enjoy the game, if you are unhappy, pause, breathe, take a break, see if things are truly as bad as you think and then test the waters for fun. Fun should be your primary motivator, not saving 10 gold for demounting a camo net.  And the Maus will still cast the same shadow, the camo net actually probably blocked more light!   14:26 Added after 2 minute

eekeeboo: This is why many of the things you do now that used to require gold no longer does, and why the bootcamp gives tier 6, why you get prem tanks relatively easy and things like demount kits etc work Some people when they play a Free to play game will understand that a game that's free to play, download and install and you can play forever for nothing, needs to monetise somewhow to stay alive. Free to play does not mean everything needs to be free because it says in the title.  You are welcome to your opinion, but less than 24 hours to form a judgement on an entire patch, least of which a complete overhaul of equipment, that in the end I've found to not impact my loadout options too much (personally) seems somewhat rash. But it is your decision to make, I feel I should point it out though that not all change is bad and not all change is trash  

parim1331:  Możecie zakupić przecenione pojazdy zarówno w kliencie gry jak i w Sklepie premium* - Trochę źle sformułowane zdanie - chodzi tutaj o to, że pojazdy aktualnie umieszczone w kliencie gry jak i te w sklepie premium zostaną przecenione. 

parim1331:  To, że w aktualnej iteracji Tank Rewards nie ma kuponów zniżkowych, nie znaczy żę już ich nigdy tam nie zobaczymy. 

Dwigt: I forwarded your question and waiting for the answer. 

Dwigt:   I'm afraid there won't be a compensation for the tanks you already have in your garage.If you recently bought a tank and still eligible for refund, you can request a refund by sending a ticketto our CS team.  

Dwigt:   I think the meaning here stays the same but nonetheless I will forward your comment to the team. 

Dwigt: I promise you this one is permanent. 

Dwigt: There won't be any gold compensation for the tanks that you already bought.Like I said in a previous comment, if you recently bought a tank and haven't played it yet, you can request a refund. 

Dwigt: Should we roll back on this nerf?  

vuque:  Teşekkürler, düzelttim.

Delhroh: La información correcta es la siguiente: En la del CS-59 : "Situarse entre los 5 mejores jugadores del equipo por XP básica conseguida."En la del CS-63:  "Situarse entre los 3 mejores jugadores del equipo por XP básica conseguida" Saludos.

Delhroh: ¿En qué nivel tenéis ya la segunda temporada del pase de batalla? 

eekeeboo: Sometimes a nice break is good for a happy relationship, after all, space makes the heart grow fonder for some people. The main priority is fun, and while I hope many keep having it and playing, I'd rather a person stop than be miserable  

Actinid:  Les deux =)

eekeeboo: Thanks for the list, I hope you don't mind me replying 1 by 1 . First I want to say that more changes are taking place (rework of new balance) but as you can find from that article a lot is being done based on feedback to try and improve those proposed changes and Crew 2.0 is also in the works as well as well as other stuff we haven't announced yet. 1) Can you clarify by name your tank? Do you mean as an affectionate name or as in changing the tank name for all? This would seem OK now, but would be a nightmare for any person wanting to learn the tank they're playing, fighting against or with and not everyone can be trusted to name their tanks in an... adult manner . 2) This is something that I don't think has been considered considering the plans or current investigations of ammo rework (new balance again). 3) This would negate the point of shell choice and again would be further affected by ammo rework (new balance). 4) Do you mean premium or normal? Because generally you get lots of rewards already, but you don't want to incentivise farming referral accounts too much to get goodies by people using alts (Yes this is what I would do as a F2P player). 5) This was something requested often and has been discussed extentisively but no immediate plans due to the current nature and way the economy in the game works, possible the crew issue will be different in crew 2.0  6) This was not so much about just nerfing the progetto or letting it keep the rammer, this was the act of all autoreloaders no longer having rammer, game-wide. Not just on Italian tanks  

Zapfhan:  Genau.  

Zapfhan:  Aber hallo 

parim1331:  W artykule znajdziesz równowartość ceny danego pojazdu w złocie, mimo że na przykład w następnej ofercie będzie dostępny jedynie za pieniądze.

eekeeboo: I can assure you all feedback does indeed go back and statistics all count. I cannot account for all of my colleagues but I know I will always give reasons and justifications where possible and try to explain they why just as much the what. Offering help where possible to help mitigate the pain of change as much as possible. I'm sure you are aware and appreciate though, that sometimes the needs of the many and the average must come first and unpopular decisions have to go through for the benefit of the future. This is why though daily missions now include demount kits, you can buy them for credits and we look to reward them from events to also ease some of this pain.  I also hope you realise while the forums are important, they are not our only platform to care for and things are a little busy right now with all the changes going on and the anniversary and other things happening behind the scenes. But please note you are not (and others) being ignored and we are listening/reading to the players, I don't promise a particular response or reaction, but I can assure you that you're not being ignored   

eekeeboo: Hey! You know I love my beeps! The only way to disable them currently is to disable the comms system in your options. I know this isn't helpful, but be aware this is a strong and popular feedback and it is being looked into seriously as I mentioned and had answered in a Q&A with Georgiy Rodionov I can't say when or if anything will happen but it is being taken seriously into consideration.  

eekeeboo: This I can completely understand, especially as any persons natural instinct is to only speak up when they are unhappy rather than happy. But I can assure you, some people do like the changes, they're mostly busy playing and getting on rather than typing on the forums. And I know not everyone can be made happy, and I am aware that there is indeed a portion of players who are unhappy, but I know from the places I engage with players and the messages I get, that some are happy or at the very least understand and appreciate the changes     13:37 Added after 1 minute

eekeeboo: Those 10 gold per unmounting of camo/binocs is what will keep the company afloat.   Boss sank more money in a game that was a complete failure perhaps ?   And ppl laugh when i tell them to stay away from this game, as it is still stuck in 2011. It's not just about gold, we highlighted in the article that this is just as much about making sure people don't put camo net, binos and a toolbox on a maus, just because they have them laying around for free. I really understand for free to play players this was better than nothing, but it doesn't mean it was an effective or the right choice for equipment. People are now encouraged/forced to consider the right equipment, for better or for worse rather than take the "easy way out". 

Dwigt:    

Dwigt: These decisions are made way in advance and planned for the 10 years anniversary celebration not in a week. 

Zapfhan:  Die  ~ -10% sind das neue Normal. Die Kategorie "Fahrzeuge" wird also nicht voller Angebote sein.  

Zapfhan:  Nein. Es werden nicht alle diese Panzer ab dem 12. zum Kauf zur Verfügung stehen.

Dwigt: Well it's a video, and a good one I suppose! You should watch it!  

Dwigt: Sometimes our news and videos bring good memories too!  

Dwigt: I wouldn't say it's fictional but just a fun backstory to both commanders.

Dwigt: Sorry but I'm not sure I understood your questions. Can you rephrase them please? 

Dwigt: Fire gold moderately  

Dwigt: Can you share why? 

Actinid:
Ahah merci de l'avoir partagé.
