Overlord: Your traceroute please.

Overlord: If you are experiencing any issues, please provide any visual confirmation here.

Overlord: Post your traceroute please.

Overlord: I wouldn't deny the first part.

Overlord: My personal feeling is that compensation is unlikely in this case, since there is no way to make it targeted.

ARGO: There is nothing more dispicable than a cheat. It's bad enough they are too lazy to take the time to garner the needed skills to win or even try. It's worse when they compound it by also usually being the biggest complainers in the game. I agree that it is quite sad tracers were temporarily removed because of a few bad apples but I am happy to know that they are denied any ill gotton advantage they had. I could complain that because of them we all will suffer until it's fixed, but I think the good here is that without the tracers those of us who are NOT a cheat can only improve our skills working around it.
So with that, I say to those who do cheat, All you have accomplished by taking the easy way is making the rest of us better and even more skilled players.

Tanitha: Hi zergling, did you do the usual confirm your email address thing? IE click the link in the email thats sent out?
That's what usually authorizes your account. without that you wont have any access to anything.

merig00: Shoot it from behind. Shoot it at it's machine gun and driver vision slot in the front. Shoot it sideways right above tracks. Just don't shoot it upfront at the turret.
The problem is to survive to make those 3-5 shots which needed to bring down 100% KV.

Overlord: They have been disabled to prevent possible exploiting, the explanation is to come.

Overlord: Can you upload your traceroute?

Overlord: No solely our infrastracture, several factors made up the whole issue.

Overlord: Some colours don't match our concept. For the same reason you won't see any official pink camos.

ARGO: If you click on that crewmember name you will see a little green meter under him that fills as he gains experience.

Overlord: It might require some rework with the release of future updates.

Overlord: Attached File(s)  color_blind.jpg (6.97K)

Overlord: The server is up and running.

Tanitha: As most clanwars goers are aware, on the 21th may the clan-wars glitched during 1-2 clanwar timezones.
The rules for such a glitch are, during technical problems the battles are declared a draw, and the tokens are moved back into reserves. So losses, and win's were declared draws as per the rules, and this land did not change hands.
The technical glitch has been bought to support and admin's attention, so they can work on making sure the problem is identified and fixed with the aim of preventing it from happening again. They are also looking at better ways to rectify any problems caused by glitches of this nature. However for now, the ruling of matches that suffer from a technical problem will result in a draw will continue..
Again, I apologize for this technical glitch and have done everything within my power to prevent it from happening again.
Regards
Tan...

Overlord: Maintenance works are scheduled for May 26, 11:30 UTC.
Estimated downtime: up to 1 hour.

Overlord: Purchasing new server equipment at the moment.

Overlord: We would be grateful for more pingplotter screenshots (tracert/mtr) featuring lags and packet loss at

Thanks

Overlord: @Impy, can you send a few more pingplotter screenshots? They may come in handy.
Thanks.

Overlord: Server reconfiguation aimed at improving connection quality for players from Oceania is scheduled for May 26, 11:30 UTC.

ARGO: Tiger with long 88 is always a good choice. I had one and will have one again. I myself actually consider it one of the top snipers in the game. Yes, The Tiger is a good tank learn her well, max her crew and she will treat you right.

ARGO: Let's all keep on the subject please. No need for insults....

ARGO: Law of Mechanical Repair - After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch & you'll have to pee.

11.. Law of the Theater & Hockey Arena - At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle always arrive last. They are the ones who will leave their seats several times to go for food, beer, or the toilet, & who leave early. The folks in the aisle seats come early, never move once, have long gangly legs or big bellies & stay to the bitter end of the performance.Aisle people also are very surly folk.

19. Doctors' Law - If you don't feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor,and by the time you get there you'll feel better. But don't make an appointment, and you'll stay sick.

ARGO: I have tried them all and will say they are all descent however like others said the T-29 is my favorite and here is why:
It is right on the cusp of being affordable AND a descent heavie with some speed and firepower. Sure you may continue up the ladder but I will assure you that this tank will be a keeper. Now as for the T-32,34 they are a bit better but more of the same with a few more buck out of your credit pocket when repairs are made.
Now the T-30 I am sad to say "to me" could use a little love in the reload department, It's gun is KV derp cannon slow to load and if you get into it with more than one of it's rivals or a pack of mediums you will NOT last long.

ARGO: Agreed, Yes definately needs upgrade in Memory big time....

ARGO: Keep this subject on track please....

Tanitha: WOT are slow to issue bans for repetitive afk playing, IE macroing/botting. Because they investigate the players actions over many days of game-play.
After this investigation, you have been banned permanently.
Permanent bans, are... permanent.
If you wish to play wot, feel free to make another account and "play" it with out the use of bots.
Account set to perma forum mute.

Overlord: Going to pay me back for US guns nerf? It wasn't me.
Most likely I will be in Moscow.

Tanitha: I believe 1 hour earlier would be better for most. 2 hours earlier might remove our Indonesian friends, because most would still be at work.
