MrVic: Its done! Sorry for the delay, had a small injury at work that led to a light concussion. Sadly it made getting this done a bit more time consuming
Enjoy! Sorry that could not get Internet explorer to show the results correctly its a IE blocking setup with it so it seems.

ARGO: I gave you just now a +1 for asking a descent question. It means people agree with you basically. And I hope he gets a few more because it's rather refreshing to see people asking good questions rather then complaining.
Good show my friend and welcome to WoT, I hope you have fun and enjoy your time with us.

Overlord: These are well-known fakes. I wouldn't recommend using any of the listed since it will be infected with malicious software.
Closed.

Overlord: There is no technical necessity in soft wipe at this stage. When it is needed everything will be announced in advance.

Overlord: The following servers are in operation:
0. Internal QA testing.
1. Supertest server with VERY limited access
2. Open (public) RU test server (player database generated from main RU server according to a certain date). MrVic described it in his reply to your post.
3. Main RU server (the one that is being updated after 1 and 2)
4. EU/US closed beta server
Chinese close beta is on as well, but we don't operate it directly.

Overlord: I would like to assure you that we are sticking to our own plans and ideas mostly, taking into account everything that concerns players (not all topics and posts can be replied to, but most of them are read). The reason is rather plain - we (and not somebody else) are solely responsible for the quality of final product.

Overlord: And no faction is OP currently. Certain vehicles are (especially IS-7, and IS-4 in some ways), but not the faction itself.

Overlord: A bit philosophical, but true. That's the game is balanced purely on statistical data. One can demonize the figures, but at least they are impartial as opposed to human beings.

Overlord: Remember the last 2 patches? One day earlier. Is that a problem?
There won't be one single "Great leap" from beta into release. After the game goes live for EU/NA and rest of the world, it will be improved steadily. Issues that we haven't managed/won't manage to fix in beta will be fixed at release. We take this project very seriously, the development goes in all directions.
The below was slipped out of my mouth

Overlord:

Overlord: Explanation of how match-making system works: http://forum.worldof...post__p__336432
The game doesn't take account of historical reliability. We have too many prototypes, some existed only on paper.

Overlord: Quite costly since one will be able to get high tier vehicle with good performance without grinding to it.

Overlord: 10.5 cm.

Overlord: T-54's track repair time will likely be increased without deploying a separate patch during one of the upcoming server restarts.

Overlord: We expect to recieve the data on January 17.

Overlord: EU servers are being set up at the moment. So, very soon.

Overlord: Sure thing, KV-13.

Tanitha:

I had a reasonable game, I was a bit on the front line, managed to get 10 shots off, 5 hit.
I died, team lost.
133 exp. the same as I would get in a MS1 firing 10 shots, getting 5 hits, dieing and losing in a normal game.
Fired HE, ms1 was elite with 100% crew.
As I said, I don't think there is any advantage for the small tank at all.
3am here, so I'll leave you to post some screenies showing 2-4k exp : )

Tanitha: No. Ive not been told that. Ive been led to believe it doesn't work.
I guess the only way, is to do some testing and find out ; ) not that I don't believe you or anything.
But some figures would be nice.. I'll try to get a platoon going now.

Tanitha: Yes i think this is where its at, at the moment, there is also some pretty huge threads on this full of extensive suggestions. So feel free to add to them, because i'll need to lock this rather than let another thread continue.
Regards

Tanitha: It does seem to happen.
Like.. you are in a big tank, smaller enemy is on 10%, you can kill it easily in a shot.
You fire, you hit, it registers the hit, someone else gets the kill down the bottom right.
But I don't know, its hard to tell, and I don't really care much while I'm playing, I just play and have fun..
I'm left guessing if my shot bounced and someone elses shot hit a split second later.
If I didn't do much damage and someone else finished him off a split second later.
Or two hits hit at the same time,
Or.. whatever..

Tanitha: I think it happens for the reasons he said.
"I'm doing it so he gets more exp." and everyone tries it, cause they are looking for easier ways.
BUT, I'm pretty sure it doesn't work at all. Like you said you get paid for what you do. And the smaller tanks (loltractors) cant do anything.
I would guess after a few games, the smaller tank's had enough and the platoon disbands. So I don't think it goes on for long.
But then there's always someone else who comes up with the idea of "oh this will work and be better" because it usually does work in most other games. Just not this one.
All in all I don't think its too much of a problem, because people should work out its no advantage at all, and voluntarily stop doing it.
I think, and hope..
But yeah as said above, if you drag a friend to the game as a new player, theirs nothing wrong with playing with him.

Tanitha: Hi, it looks very nice. Would you please translate in English and post it there too? Thank you.
Hallo, es sieht sehr nett. Würden Sie bitte übersetzen auf Englisch und mach es dort auch? Vielen Dank.

Tanitha: There seems to be some nice suggestions there. I cant remember every post on the forum, so I'm not sure if all of them or none of them have been suggested before or not. I think by you grouping the suggestions up like this and posting them into general, they might get lost. which would be a shame.
So id suggest you pick the important ones, use search to see if they have been covered before or not, and if not package them up into sections of related topics with a decent topic title and description that is related to the content of the thread. And throw it into the devs suggestion section.
If you could add a little more details to the ones you are doing up for the dev section, it would be appreciated too.
Since you cant post there yet without 50 posts, if you post to general, and then pm me a link, I'll move it for you.
Regards.

Tanitha: Hi you can get keys here instantly mate.
http://forum.worldof...available-here/
They come with a free tank usually too.

MrVic: Its pretty much priority number one Working for a full fix and not a bandaid fix takes time, Once good info gets finalized for it some of it it will be posted up
Jut hang in there, its rough but it will be fixed

Tanitha: I wonder if they will put a option up soon. "Click here to fix roof - 5000Gold."
It would help them recover some of the extra gold they gave out

Tanitha: Shooting someone on purpose isn't accidental. So no its not ok..
Shooting another tank on purpose, or blocking, or killing, is against the rules, If someone does this, you need to screencap and report it so they can be banned.
if you decide to break the rules by shooting or killing teammates as well, then you are also breaking the rules, and will more than likely be banned as well.
If someone is shooting you, its easiest to die while screenshotting it, lose a 5 minute game, and then report it to get them banned. you lose 5 mins and games continue they are banned. If you want to shoot back, you will probably end up with a few days lost for breaking the rules.

Tanitha: answered. locking.

merig00: Good idea. Somehow I didn't think about AMD and with a more powerful PSU I would go good $100 over my budget. However I'm a complete 0 in AMD procs except knowing that AMD made a comback and much better than 10 years ago. What AMD proc would be on the same level as i5 I have here?
For AMD I would go with this mobo: Asus M4N98TD EVO AM3 NVIDIA nForce 980a SLI Chipset DDR3 ATX w/ 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN, USB2.0, IEEE1394, SATA-II, RAID, 2 Gen2 PCIe, 2 PCIe X1 & 2 PCI
It's the only one they have with SLI support.

Tanitha: Shift, and if shift don't work its probably your xfire.
Closing this since its in the wrong forum (public section)

Tanitha: If someone is not behaving "in game chat" then they don't behave "in game chat" whether that's general, other channels, or in game.
Banning someone from chat, and then leaving them F' keys they can spam, and game chat to continue spamming/insulting/etc into.. isn't a very good idea..
You all know people spam those F keys as it is, its not uncommon.
A mute, is a mute. At least you can still play, Even if you are restricted a little.
If you played with a clan on teamspeak. you wouldn't be restricted at all, with the TS being there.
Depending on the clan, you would also be free to swear or whatever on their teamspeak.
The game chat's though has rules, and moderators that enforce those rules.
The rules and mods are in beta too as well as the game. Open beta will probably see the introduction of a new set of forum game and chat rules. And there is quite a few changes that will be made.

merig00: Thanks Zombie,
I set myself a limited budget so higher end GPUs are out of the question.
Obviously i7-860 (well i have an option of 870) is better than i5-760 but is the difference that noticeable for my needs?
There is the same power supply but 800W, would that be enough cause anything even bigger jumps in price.
That's what I figured azza. Are you running cards on SLI? What power-supply do you have?

Tanitha: All i get is

merig00: The last time I purchased a computer was 8 years ago and now it is not only morally but also physically outdated. Even some flash videos are jittery on it. WoT is at most at 12-15FPS.
So I came up with a build I like on cyberpower and would like you guys to take a look at it.
My budget is $850-900 with an idea to upgrade GPU(SLI) and RAM in a year or so if I need it. I mostly use it for surfing net, watching videos and working in MS Office and Quickbooks. I casually play World of Tanks and would like to get back into BF series.
Here is you can see my build options in case you want to suggest changes: http://www.cyberpowe...om/saved/1CXMHK
My build specs:
Case: CoolerMaster Elite 430 Mid-Tower Gaming Case with Side Panel Window [-40]
Internal USB Extension Module: None
Neon Light Upgrade: None
Extra Case Fan Upgrade: Default case fans
Noise Reduction Technology: Power Supply Gasket [+5]
Anti-Vibration Fan Mounts [+9]
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-760 2.80 GHz 8M Intel Smart Cache LGA1156
Venom Boost Fast And Efficient Factory Overclocking: No Overclocking
Cooling Fan: XtremeGear Liquid Cooling System 120MM Radiator & Fan (Enhanced Cooling Performance + Extreme Silent at 20dBA)
Motherboard: [CrossFireX/SLI] EVGA P55 TR Intel P55V Chipset DDR3 Socket 1156 mATX Mainboard w/ 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN, USB2.0, SATA-II RAID, 2 Gen2 PCIe, & 2 PCIe X1 [-15]
Motherboard Expansion Card: None
Memory: 4GB (2GBx2) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Module (Corsair or Major Brand)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 1GB 16X PCIe Video Card [+140] (EVGA Superclocked [+20])
Video Card 2: None
Dedicated PHYSX Card: None
Multiple Video Card Settings: Xtreme Performance in SLI/CrossFireX Gaming Mode Supports Single Monitor
Power Supply Upgrade: 700 Watts - XtremeGear SLI/CrossFireX Ready Power Supply [+36]
Hard Drive: 1TB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD [+22] (Single Hard Drive)
Data Hard Drive: None
Hard Drive Cooling Fan: None
External Hard Drive (USB3.0/2.0/eSATA): None
USB Flash Drive: None
Optical Drive: 24X Double Layer Dual Format DVD+-R/+-RW + CD-R/RW Drive (BLACK COLOR)
Optical Drive 2: None
Sound: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO
In the future I'm thinking about getting a second GTX460 and going SLI as well as upgrading RAM to 8GB (probably soon) or maybe even to all 16.
So I want to be sure of the following:
1)Is the case large enough to accommodate everything and provide good cooling at the same time.
2)Is cooling system sufficient enough?
3)Is power-supply reliable and would it be enough to support my build and second GPU in case I upgrade?
4)I haven't heard much about EVGA mobos, is it a good choice?
5)I think i5-760 is good enough, or should I upgrade to i7-870? And should I pay cyberpower to overclock it?
And overall what do you think about this build?
Maybe you know better websites where I can order a PC?

MrVic: The public supertest server is not limited to who can be on it, just have to create a RU account (takes about 2mins), since they base its login info off that database due to larger populace. also since its a day or so of stress test on the patch to make sure it had no instant server destroying problems. The core of the patch in its raw form is in Russian for the testing but many EU players login and play, there is no restrictions for it. Its very short term and only been done a few times when there could be changes that might cause issues. Its about testing the server build not the content. Long term play is what testing the hardest to find problems.
