dance210:   Hi OldFrog75!   We have a program going called "Hunt the Pros" with special accounts given to WGLNA Gold League players. If you run into that player and he is on the enemy team, you can earn 250 gold for killing him. To make the Hunt the Pro accounts more noticeable, the tanks have yellow camo and you will see a red bullseye by their name (the bullseye only appears when they are on the enemy team).

dance210: CR/D has seen some good times and some bad. Like all good things though, it is about time for it to reach an end. When the forum re-organization occurs, CR/D will no longer be a thing. All your favorite moments will be archived and readable - you just won't be able to post anything new. 

dance210: How many scrolls does it take to get to the bottom of the WoT forums? Answer: One, two, three. Three. In an effort to make it easier to find your favorite information, we will be re-organizing the forums. This re-organization is planned to start tomorrow morning. Please excuse our mess as we move sections and threads from one part of the forums to another. We will attempt to complete this process as quickly as possible. What does this re-organization mean? There are no plans to delete any threads. Threads will be moved from their current location to their new home, so you shouldn't lose any conversations. Some sections may be combined with others. Again, all threads should remain intact, they just may be located in a new section. There are some sections that have outlived their time and will archived as read-only. This means that you can still view the threads, you just won't be able to make any new ones or respond to the ones that are there. If there are any questions, please let us know.

Mezurashi: My old rig (it's around 3-4 years old now) is running on an AMD A10 with 16 GB RAM and a Nvidia 780 Ti. I can play some triple A games on high settings with decent FPS but I can finally feel it's age when newer titles just keep upping the minimum requirements these days. I've also used this system to do a lot of video encoding and rendering and it's been pretty decent so far.   I'm looking into getting a Ryzen system soon, but I'll probably wait a few months until there's enough real world data about its use.    With a 500-600 USD budget, I'll prolly stick to AMD but if Intel has any offerings around that price range, I'll bite. Any suggestions?

dance210:   xxtankmasterx,   Thank you for your feedback. It is never fun to be in a match where a tank intentionally kills themselves. Intentionally drowning/suiciding is against the rules. If you run into a player that intentionally kills themselves, please submit a Support ticket with a replay attached and our staff will be happy to assist you.

dance210:   Hi Temeriare,   The T71 picture is likely a stock picture in the system, which is why it was used. I have no information on when/if the stock picture will be updated.

Njourour: Closed thread. This will cause unrest.

GhostPrime: This doesn't have to do with the WGC Launcher, Moving this thread to the error reporting section

dance210:   Hi chrisw34,   As Kamahl1234, the article was written based on the current tech tree; it does not take into account the proposed changes that will come with tier X light tanks.   I will pass on your concerns to those who write the articles; however for now, just know that the articles we produce are based upon the current game information.   If there is anything else, please let me know!

dance210: Tankers!   We are interesting in what you think of the map Overlord. This feedback could help influence how the map may be changed in the future, so please take a few minutes to fill out the poll and let us know what you think!       Some specific questions that we are interested in: How do you play the beach? Is it viable for attacking the enemy or do you avoid that area? How is the middle of the map used? Is it viable for attacking the enemy or do you avoid that area? What tank classes do you enjoy playing on Overlord? Why? What tank classes do you hate playing on Overlord? Why? What area of the map would you most want changed and why? Any other feedback on Overlord?  

dance210:   I've seen it. I first played it as a little nooblet player (before my WG days) and still have flashbacks of how terrible I did in it. I think I need an actual M3 Lee in-game tutor to figure out that tank   

dance210:   Oh, I try to tell that to him everyday anyways   

dance210:   Very nice Danglebeef!!!

Mezurashi:   Go to the 1 minute mark in the video.   

Mezurashi: Topic locked, there's an existing topic about this already here: ​http://forum.worldof...its-face-again/

Mezurashi: Mind re-attaching or linking the replay? Seems you forgot to post it.

Mezurashi: The topic was locked because:   1. It was non-constructive. 2. It was obviously aimed to troll or name-shame someone. 3. It was created to cause unrest.   I hope that clears things up.

Mezurashi: This topic is obviously aimed to shame someone. I'll be giving out Warnings.   Topic locked.

GhostPrime:   Hello! Welcome top World of Tanks!  You can find a lot of useful information in this thread Here 

GhostPrime: When a topic is locked, the reason should be stated by the moderator who locked it. It will be the last post.

GhostPrime: Attention Tankers!There are plans to release Micropatch 9.17.1_2 on March 9th, 2017Maintenance will begin at 01:00 Pacific Time (09:00 UTC) and will last approximately one hour.During maintenance, the World of Tanks servers will be unavailable. Patch Notes:  Fixed the issue with a spontaneous switch from the full-screen to windowed mode when logging in to the Garage Fixed the issue with the display of vehicles in the postmortem mode when switching between vehicles Fixed the issue with switching to the windowed mode when logging in to the client for the first time and pressing Alt+Tab Fixed the issue with the automatic minimization of the client window after restoring it in Windows Vista Fixed the issue with a black screen when pressing Alt+Tab on PCs with Radeon R7-R9 graphics cards Fixed the issue with the inability to restore the client window after pressing Alt+Tab when the DirectX 9 is used Fixed the issue with the absence of sound in battle after the last spotted vehicle is destroyed Fixed the issue with the inability to click the Service and Exterior buttons in the Garage for a vehicle that has just finished a Battle for Stronghold or Skirmish Added the Strv S1 Adjusted the Object 907 armor parameters Added the following vehicles to the Tech Tree: VK 45.03 112 Panther/M10 Krupp-Steyr Waffenträger  

The_Chieftain:     It seems to be all the same company, "Deblus's Adult Warehouse, Deblu's Bridal..." As for the Leprechaun business, no, I can't explain it. Something which I find blows American minds, though. St Patrick wasn't Irish, and his color is blue. Thus, despite this first fact, almost everything officially Irish (eg Parliament decor, Constitution, Presidential Escort, etc) is blue.   A side-note to anyone who may possibly be on an alt-account. I'm happy to... give the benefit of the doubt, but if people keep causing angst, I have no trouble wandering over to the investigation team and telling them to check out everyone. If someone got banned once before, we're no worse off for banning again.   Played a couple of games with Okhotnik, out soon. Sov Tier V DD. The thing is an exercise on how long and low you can make a single-decker, and fill it with a huge train of guns. Seems to be kindof hit-or-miss. A good game is outstanding, but if you get it wrong, you're hosed.    

dance210: Destination Tanks are the vehicles we recommended from each nation and class. So if you are not sure what to work towards then check out our Destination Tanks!    These tanks may be fun to play but getting there can be a bit of a grind (M3 Lee anyone?). What tips and tricks do you have for a player trying to get to one of these Destination Tanks? Did we miss some of your favorite American tanks that you want to recommend to others? Tell us about your destination tank and the journey to get there! And don't forget, we still have the American Beat the Dev missions going on until March 13th! Complete the missions to earn cool in-game stuff....then let us know here how you did! Yoott raised the bar in the T29 with a 1155 base XP game...can anyone beat his score?

GhostPrime:   ​Hello! Welcome to the World of Tanks PC forums! Do you play on PC, or another platform?  

dance210:   It's on Paris. There are two maps that I know of (Fiery Salient and Paris) where there is no map image in the tournament admin system. When that happens (or rarely, when the map image breaks), the system defaults to a stock image - which happens to be Serene Coast.   The map will also be the printed name.

dance210: Very cool Xeroproject, thanks for taking this on!

Mezurashi: Topic locked.

GhostPrime:   Yea the 1070 may struggle at higher resolutions like 4k. It will do 144hz monitors well though.

GhostPrime:   Hello! I have looked into this, and there are multiple parties involved, and the rep mentioned that we are waiting to hear from our partner to continue processing the ticket. I apologize for the delay, you should be hearing back soon

dance210:   Yes, clans should be able to invite legionnaires to join them.  

dance210:   I can confirm that we will be testing Stronghold Advances from 7 - 8 pm PT on March 10th. Anything past that is subject to change.  

dance210:   Don't know! Think of this test as an "Early Access" test with incomplete data. I highly suggest trying to bring multiple detachments from the same clan to see what happens (and if y'all do, please let us know!).  

dance210:   Hi Sgt_Mahoney,   Yes, please submit post tabs when you add the screenshot. All screenshots should go into this thread. The easiest way to add the screenshots is to use an external program (Imgur seems to work best with the forums) and you can then link to that picture or embed it. Details instructions on how to do that can be found here.  

dance210:   Don't know! That's another thing that is being tested with this system It may work as intended, or it may be buggy...unfortunately we won't know exactly until the test starts. Also, what's the fun in lowering your ELO       For those planning to participate in the test, please think of it as an "Early Access" test. Advances is new and it may work perfectly....or it could be buggy as heck. Hopefully, it goes off without a hitch, everyone has fun and makes mad IR. If things don't work correctly (a bug or unexpected error occurs on Friday), we would appreciate it if you would please submit screenshots/replays/descriptions of the bug in this thread. If fact, we would appreciate it so much, that the first person to report a bug will get something - Clan gold, boxes, Influence, Clan reserves, a mix of all of the above, a different random reward.   Because I am a terrible person, I would like to request that any clan who participates tries to break the system. What do I mean by that? Basically, try to stress-test the Advances system. Here are some suggestions, but be creative with the breakage (within our rules, of course): Start spamming the battle button starting at 6:55 pm PT Run multiple detachments from the same clan Add in legionnaires! Have some clan members show up late? Try to run a detachment at 7:05 pm PT Does the system allow you to switch players between battles? What happens if a team no-shows to a battle (no, I am not condoning teams AFKing/not showing....but data is data and if it happens, I would love to hear about it)   The most important part of breaking the system....please report in this thread what you did and what happened (and pics are fun, so send them my way)! It's not as helpful to break the system if we don't actually know how you did it.       TL : DR: Let's break $@*#!  

Njourour: Closed thread. I'm not seeing this conversation evolving into a constructive dialogue.

Njourour: Closed thread. This will cause unrest.    

Mezurashi: Topic closed. This is just causing too much unrest.

The_Chieftain:   yes, to the annoyance of some who think we should free up abandoned user names.

Mezurashi: Locking this topic. Nothing good is coming out of it.

The_Chieftain: I don't recall ever coming across anything of that nature.   The M6 model was in Hunnicutt, I'm not sure what additional information was required.

The_Chieftain:   No, it's a fully functional engine on that tank. If you look carefully at the back deck, in that, or the other adverts in the series, you can see that the engine compartment has been highly modified, to take a modern Mercedes diesel.   I just spent a while on the Matrix Games website. I could spend a lot of money there....   So how do you play that little radio controlled Sims you got in the crate? Can you float it around in the harbour?

Mezurashi:   It was obviously name shaming. Please review the rules linked on my signature.   If this topic continues to go the way it is, it will be locked and sanctions issued.   Just a friendly reminder.

Mezurashi: Now, now guys. Let's not go "ad hominem" shall we? He has some valid points, but I'm sure he'll do better with some friendly advice from you all.

Mezurashi: Lol, I was about to moderate the post when I noticed this was Deadpool. You have my +1 for getting me riled up OP.

Mezurashi: So... this topic is getting too personal. I suggest getting back to the topic at hand rather than attacking people who like the "cockroach". 

 

dance210:   Hello Arrowfoot,   I understand that you are upset that there is a Clan tournament at tier X, which limits that players who wish to participate. This tournament is intended to showcase top-tier, competitive gameplay, with the Finals being streamed when possible. While the 1st place prize of 100,000 gold seems like a lot, that is for the Clan Treasury not per player. For a 100 player Clan, split evenly, it would only amount to 1,000 gold per player.   For players in a Clan who don't wish to participate in tier X, we normally offer the Call to Arms tournament every Saturday at 3:30 pm PT. While it has a lower prize, Clans are usually split into groups of 5 or 6, with the top 4 teams earning a prize. If you aren't interested in a Clan tournament, we do offer 1v1 tournaments with a top prize of 500 gold, with up to 70% of the players earning a prize. I encourage you to check out the tier VIII tournament on Thursday and/or the tier V tournament on Saturday!   We strive to offer a competitive environment for every tanker, from the casual to the hyper-competitive. If you have any suggestions for tournaments that you would like to see added, please feel free to shoot me a message!
