Yoott: Or Lemmings :-)
hehe

Captain_Judo: We deliberated the times- we're moving these to the standard "challenge tournament" schedule. That is, 6:00 PM (PST) / 9:00 PM (PST). Our goal is to maximize clan participation and we don't want this tournament to interfere with Clan Wars. By the same measure, it won't interfere with skirmishes as well.

dance210: X3 Crew experience, NOT tank experience

Mugsy_: Hello malize,
This is just really high quality input. Thank you so much for your effort, insight, and creativity. This is my favorite kind of thread.
Thank you, suggestion definitely noted.

Mugsy_:
You are correct. I intend on using actions moving forward to mend fences with everyone. Not eloquence.

Mugsy_: The "top tier clans" also knew before I did. I was also asleep when it launched incorrectly.
I suspect that the level of commitment they have to their clans, their ability to organize and create communication lines, and the amount of effort they put in is probably a big part of why their top tier.

Mugsy_: Hello folks,
I would never forget you guys Nogg!
Thank you everyone for your awesome insightful feedback. I am going to forward your ideas and input to the appropriate people.
Thank you!

Mugsy_:
No, sorry. That isn't a feature we offer and isn't likely to be implemented because of the changes it would create to the in game economy.

Mugsy_: Hello Everyone,
I understand that the launch of Rise of the Americas was extremely troubled and it is being reworked at this time.
I appreciate everyone for being understanding and patient on this issue. Our sole intent was to offer a fun departure from the standard clan wars experience and introduce the new map in an entertaining way.
We are working very hard to make it right and offer a positive, entertaining experience for everyone who will participate.

Mugsy_: Hello folks,
I am working through my PMs, I have it down to 90 New messages now.
re: sfprankster - You are correct. In fact, you will find many people in the Council at the moment who no longer qualify to be there.
So I have several major tasks I am working on for the CoAF:
- add the large number of folks waiting to get in
- revise my current roster
- implement new projects and features for the group

lord_farquad: actually we closed registration 25 minutes later than the deadline

Yoott: Listen I dont disagree that there may be an issue .. send it to support but unfortunately from this end with no replay and really would need the replay from both.. no way to tell..

dance210: Yep. Can't remember which one, but 8.x changed it so you need to have the tank in the garage in order to train the crew.

Yoott: a. you shouldnt want steel wall so bad.. its means your getting shot too much
b. just because a gun has a max damage it definitely does not mean that every shot has that max potential. RNG is a killer
c. obviously the other player had more potential damage done to him even though you bounced more shots......
and last ... replay please you may be right dunno... screen pics after battle dont tell whole story

dance210: You need to actually have bought the tank and have it in your garage in order to re-train a crew for it.

Yoott: ^^^ This... you can take 500 shots and never get a steel wall if someone takes less shots then you but for a higher potential damage..... this is to eliminate guys sitting in a corner letting there buddy in a smaller tank bounce shots all day

Captain_Judo: Thanks for the feedback guys. The recent Brooklyn event also highlights the importance of getting a lot of information (on a single page) more efficiently!

dance210: It's the same

dance210:

dance210: The X3 Crew XP is the experience that the crew sees after each battle, not the tank. So, if the after battle report shows 500 XP, during a X3 event, your crew is actually acquiring 1,500 XP. This gain isn't reflected anywhere in the battle report; you would need to manually check the personnel file for each crew member before and after a battle to see the difference. If that still doesn't make sense, let me know

dance210: Credit increase is how much your tank earns per battle. If you look at the detailed tab of the report, the first line shows the credit earned. Below that line, there will be a second line (I think called Events) that is the amount EXTRA earned due to the special. The first page of the after battle report only shows the total credits earned (which is what you would earn plus the additional for the special). Does that make it any clearer?

dance210: Crew retraining is ONLY for training a crew to a new tank. It does NOT mean retraining new skills and perks. In addition, the discount is only on gold retraining; if you are trying to use credits, the price is the same. There is no lying, as the crew tank retraining was working correctly for me this morning

Captain_Judo: ^correct, all tournament schedules are displayed according to your PC's local time

dance210: No, dropping skills and perks are a separate item. I can't remember what they call it, but it is worded differently from crew retraining. This retraining is only for moving a crew from one tank to another.
