blznguns, on Dec 01 2011 - 01:26, said: Why not have an actual in-game play event every week? These add variety to the game for those that have played for a while. I'd certainly like to see more tourney's (whether rewarded with gold or not); preferably weekly tourneys.

Vallter, on Nov 29 2011 - 16:24, said: We were looking at fixing that issue. Currently you can add a player to your ignore list and it will also make his pings 'unhearable' for you. But only starting from the next battle. That is something we are trying to fix and hope, that we will make it along with 7.0.
Also pings can be turned off along with other 'Ambient' sounds in 7.0.

FaustianQ, on Nov 29 2011 - 17:06, said: Well, on the note of the unpacked files being allowed to be modified, there is a mod that allows one to zoom out further then standard, and it uses easily modified, unpacked files. Do you consider this a game advantage and thus illegal/forbidden, or is it perfectly acceptable to modify?
To better demonstrate what I mean, here is a pic of another player using it, if you are unaware of it.



Orkel2, on Nov 29 2011 - 18:55, said: Thanks. Just to make sure, which part is the mantlet in WoT? Here is a screenshot with two areas. Red and green.

Red = 100mm + 100mm?
Green = just 100mm?


jdeltaarrow, on Nov 29 2011 - 19:07, said: I think this is the right place to post this. The 7.0 is coming in Jan or Feb I guess. I have seen several maps being worked on....Kansas, Mexico, Munich, South America, Big OX. Will those be coming with it as well. I saw where they mentioned 2 maps swamp ands somethng else for sure


lostwingman, on Nov 29 2011 - 20:46, said: With the changes in the way HE shells work making aim a much much larger factor in damaging tanks. Will howitzer gun see some kind of accuracy buff to reflect this? In the past it didn't matter, all you had to do was hit. After 7.0 however tanks like the VK2801 will be nerf'd HARD and there is nothing a player can do about it because outside of 50m its a crap shoot of not just where you will hit but if you will hit. So with that in mind, and with so many tanks balanced around being able to sling HE shells indiscriminately when thrown into matches they shouldn't be in, has there been any thought whatsoever as to what will happen to those tanks?
Surely you remember the 6.7 public test where the 75L48 on the VK28 was considered so underpowered they had to hijack the 105 gun model from the 3001H and shove it onto the tank in the meantime. So it should be obvious to everyone, devs included, that that tank is balanced with the 105 in mind.
Therefore knowing this, will we get some kind of accuracy buff at least?

Catastr0phic, on Nov 27 2011 - 13:11, said: OK.. I'm not sure if your following through with this or not but I'd like to put this out there before you take anything else away from the players that were created for the players BY THE PLAYERS.
You are putting camo in the game which is going to be purchased for gold. Great, more cash that people don't have (Well the majority of people that play this game anyways). I don't even care about the actual camo increase percentage about it. I just love my skins. I don't have to run around match after match seeing the same green and grey all the time. So now with the new deal we won't be able to do that, well unless we pay for gold.
So now I'm hearing that your going to take away our health bar over target marker mods and most likely after that our contour mods which changes up the way we get to see the list of tanks in match and on the loading screen. Come on guys, be reasonable. Stop taking every little thing we have in game made by players and try to make an extra buck on it.
I know you have a business to run and money is great but this is getting more and more ridiculous. Its actually kind of reminding me of my country and all the privileges that are getting taken away every time they have a scare like finding a hot dog on a plane.
Maybe if you made this skill a 4th option for the secondary skill line I could be fine with this. Like a certain percentage gained would let you see the health bar farther away the higher percentage you have or something. Please though guys stop taking stuff away from us and charging us gold to be able to get it back.

Lert, on Nov 30 2011 - 10:56, said: Fail strat. In addition to being complete douchebags, it also doesn't work. The TK system tracks damage done, not just kills on friendlies. These guys might think they're slipping through the maze, but they're still being tracked. Granted, doing this means it'll take a good while longer before they turn blue, but they're not getting away scott free.


SpikeStaffel, on Nov 30 2011 - 11:33, said: Thx for the info there Lert.
I'm going off what I've seen and what others have reported. It seems that these guys are only targeting a few people this way and spacing out their kills so that unless they kill in the base circle or do it more than once every few days they are in fact avoiding detection..

Obviously they don't even consider just asking to incorporate the code for this. After all, I seriously doubt that mod was developed with eventual monetary gains in the back of their head. But no, for them it's naturally all about money, money, money. They can't even think it would be possible to get the mod code for free because they are too focused on... money, money, money. I think that is rather revealing with regards to our precious devs...
And don't even get me started on how the EULA "strictly prohibits" one thing, but WG looks the other way as long as it suits them...


Catastr0phic, on Nov 29 2011 - 23:06, said: Ohh nice, side feature? So what that basically means is something else you guys can charge us gold to get? When a company buys anything they don't pay for it unless they can make a profit on it. So you guys WILL charge us gold for it. I don't mean to sound out of line but I see greed.
You people should put a little bit of thought into your decisions. What about the people who can't afford to buy gold all the time to pay for stuff that we had for free that you guys are trying to get a hold of to charge us and make money off of.
What you are doing is complimenting the people who have lots of gold and money to buy gold. The majority of your population can only most likely afford the $15 a month like me to be able to pay for prem. If you keep pulling BS like this you are going to frustrate and lose players in the WoT community who can't afford all the extra stuff that the spoiled rich kids and people with money can get.
Guys, stop screwing the players who can't afford to buy extra gold.

In the garage it works fine but ingame i hold ctrl with the palm of my hand then try to pull up my keyboard and it usually won't come up, and if i do get it up and try to type it resets my mouse to the middle of my screen when i release ctrl or press anything outside the game window, but in 6.7 it would just let me type and hit escape. It works only sometimes, but not as easily. The onscreen keyboard by the way is the one that comes with windows under ease of access.

9teenKILo, on Nov 30 2011 - 07:05, said: first i have to ask are the devs daft?
really? you've introduced tier 5 light tanks as the elite scouts and now ur making it even harder on the tier 4's?!?!?!?
shouldn't this read Decreased Maximum battle levels for tanks VK1602 and T-50.
i mean really u got these tanks on their knees enough with current matching.. Now your gonna kick them in the round and shinys while their down??? my how sporting you guys really are.. you know people would actually enjoy these tanks more if they weren't being raped by tier 8's n 9's while a vk2801 or a t50-2 frolics around gettin the glory...
With the appearance of the tier5 lights combined with the fact that tier4 lights have been treated like red-headed step-children, cant we just go ahead and let them have thier time in the sun now.. or are you guys counting on people to mash the convert XP button to just skip right by the horrible 50k hollywood deathmatch grind they get now..

Many people are reporting these problems, some are diagnosing them, yet what do we hear from the devs? Nothing. for all we know we are wasting our time reporting and diagnosing problems that they have perhaps already fixed.
Message to any devs reading this - we need far more interaction with you good people.


Moonrider, on Nov 29 2011 - 00:31, said: From what I'm seeing, the cap bar problems and selling tanks problems are all related to the english language changes in the files dialogs.mo, and ingame_gui.mo.
I've been doing some clean installs today, and it breaks down like this:
Install of test and patch to test2 only: sell tanks and cap bar are fine
Install of test and patch to test2 and copy all LC_messages files over from 6.7: cap bar and sell tanks broken
Install of test and patch to test2 and copy all LC_messages files over from 6.7 BUT dialogs.mo, and ingame_gui.mo.: sell tanks and cap bar are fine
Install of test and patch to test2, copy all LC_messages files over from 6.7, and replace dialogs.mo, and ingame_gui.mo. with the files from the "English pack": cap bar and sell tanks broken.
My WAG: somewhere a character pointer isn't pointing to the right spot in the English language files I.E. Expects "Da" and counts two characters, but should be expecting "Yes" and counting three.
