Gaea: Tankers!
We're aware that there are some issues with the battle scheduling on the CW map. We believe it may be an issue with the sheer amount of battles that were scheduled for this particular event. We'll be looking at the logs overnight to make sure we avoid this issue in the future.
Basically, it means you're all awesome for so many of you participating in this event!

dance210: If you're handing out cookies anyways, can we turn this into a party?

Yoott: I forwarded the thread to MR ... but please turn in a ticket as others have said

Yoott: http://mwreplays.com/newreplaysimg/a06bcd42e5aeaedf8572661d8e42f3f5.png
This is from that battle from my terrible point of view.. EXCEPT towards the end when I get rammed by a guy who rams me and then leaps across the top of my tank lands backwards on the other side .. repairs tracks and drives off... pretty funny stuff

Mugsy_: Yes, I am aware that many of the flags are facing the wrong direction, I have reported this upwards in the past. I will continue to push awareness towards this issue.

Yoott: Yep I definitely would not want the best credit producing tank in the game......

Yoott: no worries glad to hear it.. I figured it would be an ongoing thing as people now get home from work/school and start to drop chips

Mugsy_: Thanks RedAlert,
I will try to get this corrected as soon as possible. It will likely not be in this coming update but the following.
Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.

Gaea: It is up, check here!

Gaea: It is up, check here!

dance210: The ending time is the same as normal. Tech Tree Focus normally run Monday morning until Friday morning, with the weekend special running Friday morning until Monday morning.

Gaea: Just to clarify, ALL of the provinces are landing zones. You need to click on the province and then click on the button "land" to apply for landing.

Yoott: yes

dance210: I think you may be a little confused. Acknowledging and listening to feeback is not the same as using that feedback. WG hears what the players want, but they are under no obligation to provide what is desired, sometimes because it just may not be feasible. Just as the players are under no obligation to buy if there is nothing that interests them.

Yoott: first pic means what?  sheriffs are allowed to platoon per the rules
second pic does not even make sense ... if hes platooned with sheriff he cant kill sheriff therefore cant earn the gold... guy was trolling you...there is also a rule agaist counting in and giving gold to friends...real account on line if you do it
oh also screen pic 1 has your real account name on it I would assume?or is that a friends?

Yoott: what are you talking about? This isnt a glitch this is on our ends of the computers... stored cache... unless they hack each of your comps and remove it for you... its our end issue.
Im just posting this here so people can get past it before timers run out... but looking at the 70 lzs in NA... dont think there will be an overcrowded issue this time

Yoott: exactly :-)

Yoott: http://forum.worldof...-is-not-up-for/

Yoott: If the map still loads to girls in fishnet stockings then
go to page with girls in stockings and click control F5... clears your cache ,,, map will show up
then click on property you wish to land on and landing words on bottom right of description area are the links to the tourney.(not like normal LZ)
place chips accordingly.... dont forget to click apply and the check mark again and your set
if this does not work... bang head into desk a few times and ticket to tech support

Yoott: guys go to page with girls in stockings and click control F5... clears your chache ,,, map will show up
then click on property and landing words on bottom right of description area are links to the tourney.(not like normal LZ)
