mizaralcor, on Feb 24 2012 - 03:28, said: BTW, we have BARRACKS slot expansion discount again. In the previous instances of barracks slot expansion discounts, people have repeatedly mistaken it for GARAGE slot expansion discount. Do you guys think WG should emphasize this instead on the announcement?
Admittedly, it's not WG's fault that those people are mistaken and reading comprehension from readers would help, but this seems more of a common mistake. If I have to admit, when I was a very new player and there was coincidentally a barracks discount, I almost got it wrong myself.

Also once I personally witnessed a battle where a Slugger got 11, NOW that was incredible [thin armor tank].

QUESTION for GAEA
You need to clarify the TIME for that contest
WHAT TIME ZONE ------> Friday, February 24, 12:01 AM and Sunday, February 26th, 11:59 PM
This part makes sense ----> (8:01 AM UTC Friday - 7:59 AM UTC Monday)

Is there any bonus (beyond the XP value) for getting more than 10 kills?

AxisM, on Feb 23 2012 - 07:05, said: lol u guys are so bad with the whining that u make the devs and mods just stop responding. do you ever feel like some of you are ungrateful little snots? the game isnt broken MM isnt that bad. unless all u have is tier 3 tanks. then guess what get higher tanks. spotting has always been a slight prob but it was way worse in beta. try warping tanks you havent seen that. Some of you have more posts then battles so i dont even think you can have a decent knowledge of the game. But seriously. Some of you make WoT community look horrible. It makes me feel ashamed. relaxe play the game its not REAL LIFE. Yes i put my money into this game and yet i dont nerd rage about it.
sheesh chill out some people. "not talking to the ones who arent nerd raging"


Jakroth, on Feb 23 2012 - 08:00, said: I am liking the changes, but I'm noticing a severe lack of choices for loaders. For someone like me who plays artillery, and has 2 loaders, I can't pick Hunch because Artillery only uses HE. A better placed ammo rock doesn't do that much because if an artillery is in combat, there at least a 75% chance he's going to die if whoever is chasing him doesn't completely suck. And Do-or-die, sounds amazing, for anything else. Artillery is typically close to full hp, or dead. If I'm below 10% hp and still alive its close to making me take a screenshot for posterity. Long story short. The choices are really cool, but please consider all types of crews needs, including artillery. Other than that I have zero complaints. Keep being amazing world of tanks!


Pavol_Preznik, on Feb 23 2012 - 08:02, said: According to how I read it, the "skills" will be effective immediately and in place to various degrees of effectiveness, based on crew member training.
"Perks", however, need a crew member to be trained to 100% effective in order to work.
The reason for the "only highest level of skill will be in effect" I think has to do with tanks that have two types of one crew member (ie two gunners, or two radio operators). In this case, the note is saying that the skill will apply to the higher of the two members qualifications: ie a crew with two gunners who has 1 trained at 50% in steady hands and another at 24% will receive a steadying effect represented by the crew member with 50% training in the skill...NOT the average (as is the case with repair/camo/firefighting). This makes tanks with two of one type of crew member benefit significantly, since more than one skill can be maxed out by researching different things with the two crew members who share the same role (eg the second crew member could research sharpshooter instead since he's of no benefit in steady hands since he'll always be behind the other gunner exp wise).


fablkak, on Feb 23 2012 - 08:04, said: Question:
Is this a common pool shared between all crew members in one vehicle or does each crew member have his own little pool. The reason I ask is this: say you want two skills on some people and only need one skill on others, having a common pool will allow me to boost the crew members that need it the most. This might not be more realistic but it would be preferable as I would much rather have two good perks on one crew member than one full perk and a useless half perk on both.
One more thing, does "brothers in arms" also effect basic skills in the same way that the commander can give +10% to crew skill or does this only apply to special skills?
Alas, I suspect it to be individual pools. (because of the respec options)
ps I apologize if this has been asked but the thread is up to 16 pages and I only read 10.


Jiquan96, on Feb 23 2012 - 08:26, said: Good comment on the repair skill. Can we selectively keep some of the old skills? I like all the originals, but also the new ones too.


Pirx, on Feb 23 2012 - 09:35, said: There are 2 different things:
1. Retraining crew to another tank (it stays exactly the same as it was): primary skill drops when using non-gold option, secondary skills always stay the same).
2. Resetting skills: you can reset all XP accumulated in your secondary skills and redistribute it in another way (and primary skill always stays the same).
Using your example:
You have a crew trained for the SU-100. They are all 100% primary skill and 60% on camo skill.
You put them in the SU-152.
You then retrain the crew for the SU-152 with credits so their primary skill goes to 90% and only the primary skill. (Secondary skills stay the same - no matter if you use gold, credits or free retrain.)
But you also have additional option to redistribute/reset your secondary skills.
Let's say you want to switch them to repairs.
You use gold reset option: they are 100% primary, 60% repairs.
You use credits reset option: they are 100% primary, 54% repairs.
You use free reset option: they are 100% primary, 48% repairs.
Hmm, this begs a question to devs, actually, so...
Question:
10% loss with credits option means loss of 10% skill, like in example above (and similar to the current crew retraining) or you lose only 10% of XP accumulated? (With the latter option being better for players.)


Millbarge, on Feb 23 2012 - 10:27, said: Instead... maybe you should spend some time fixing your broken, pathetically slapped together, random as all hell, horribly and purposely unbalanced POS game.
THEN bring us some of the MANY features and tanks that you have promised us for more than a year now.
AND THEN waste our time with these slight tweaks and pointless changes.

Glythe, on Feb 23 2012 - 11:38, said: That is exactly the kind of statement that worries me..... any ideas when you'll be adding new crew skills? I mean no offense some of them sound neat but if we're going to get better ones in a patch down the line I'll just wait to use my free reset. To be honest quite a few of those skills sound pretty useless; I'd hate to retrain all my guys and know that the better skills come out in that next patch.

lsland, on Feb 22 2012 - 21:11, said: The last 1% requires approx 50 battles. This can be shortened by your daily double and when they have 5x exp. I recently just maxed out my t30 crew to 100% on all 3 skills with the last 1% going pretty due to the last 5x event. You can right click on the crew member and it will show you approx how many battles it will take to reach the next level.

lostwingman, on Feb 23 2012 - 01:17, said: Umm...that's the point....how is noone else having a problem with that?
If I train my SU-100 crew for my SU-152 does the 60% camo go down to 50% when I credit retrain?
What does that mean.

[Eagle Eye - Skill
Maximum view range is increased with the training of this skill. If the observation devices are damaged, skill effectiveness is increased.] -----mean decreased if damaged???


keytosky, on Feb 22 2012 - 22:54, said: Gold reset – Returns full skill experience earned to the crewman’s experience pool, removing progress in current skills.
Credit reset – Returns 90% of experience earned to the crewman’s experience pool, removing progress in current skills.
Free reset – Returns 80% of experience earned to the crewman’s experience pool, removing progress in current skills.
so it means if my current skill is 99%, i use reset, it will just become 0%. so the reset is useful only when your progress is very low or 100%?
