Overlord: We are planning to change game economy to some extent in the near future. The following changes are possible:
1) Tier 7(8)-10 ammo will see increase in price along with repair costs for the majority of vehicles.
2) Credit payments for losses will be decreased, for victories - increased substantially.
3) In general average profitability is supposed to remain the same, but it will become more dependent on battle performance.

Tanitha: Yep sounds like this. When you buy a tank now, it asks you a lot of things on that page. Do you want to buy a new garage slot with it.. etc etc..

ARGO: You get a marraige certificate
I put in some delicious southern fried chicken

ARGO: Let's not forget "Airplane"......Hey Tomy do you like to watch Gladiator movies?

ARGO: If you move you will most likely be seen....

MrVic: Yeah the tiger2 10.5 should be seeing a fixin it's look soon.

Overlord: We have modelled it, and it will be available a bit later.

Tanitha: Decent idea, thanks. I'll move it to the devs suggestion section..

Overlord: If you are asking, why not.
The above statements can't be applied to all German tanks. It would be a hasty conclusion.
Sometimes it is difficult to compare. Who's stronger whale or elephant?
If you want my personal opinion on effectiveness of tier 7-10 tanks of each nation (this question bothers you most I guess):
HT:
tier 7 - USSR (IS) and Germany (Tiger I) are comparable. USA (T-29) is the favourite.
tier 8 - USSR (IS-3) and Germany (Tiger II) are comparable. USA (T-32) is the favourite.
tier 9 - USSR (IS-4) and Germany (VK4502) are comparable. USA (T-34) is a bit weaker.
tier 10 - USSR (IS-7) is the favourite. Germany (VK4502) USA (T-30) and inferior and almost equal to each other.
MT:
tier 7 - Germany (VK3002DB) is the favourite. USSR (T-43) and USA (T-20) and inferior and almost equal to each other.
tier 8 - USSR (T-44)is a bit stronger. Then goes Germany (Panther). USA (T-23) is a bit weaker than Panther.
I do believe that anything else is a sort of autosuggestion.
Regarding the problems you have mentioned, we are working on improvements to visibility/detection system. They are supposed to fix many of the existing issues.

Tanitha: Did you try F2 as per the screen?
It's only saying the checksum doesn't match what it is expecting.
Could be just adding the memory, or (unlikely) you blew the CMOS when you were inside the case. All it needs is resetting but if as you say the USB keyboard doesn't work in BIOS you may need to use a PS/2 keyboard to get past that screen (although it's odd that it displays a USB keyboard as being found).
A lot of usb keyboards and computers, need drivers to run usb keyboards. So yeah its found the usb keyboard, but since windows hasn't loaded, no drivers have loaded for it either. So as i said, just borrow a PS2 keyboard for a sec, or get a usb->ps2 connector. A lot of usb keyboards come with one in the box.
Once you have a keyboard that works without windows. its just a matter of entering the bios, clicking load optimal settings, save, and all is done.
Any further problems like this, replace the battery and repeat the above.

Tanitha:

Tanitha: Its a good idea to check its working before you need it. I think on some windows its print screen and on others its control print screen.
The photo will get dumped into your game directory, which often is c:\games\worldoftanksclosedbeta.... or something similar to that..
Regards.

Tanitha: Hi..
Ok ive pulled out 4 points of your post to discuss. So here goes.. : )
1. It shouldn't get more common as you suggested. because the rule isn't "no Tking" the rule is quite long and covers things like no intentional damaging, blocking, ramming etc etc etc.. So no it shouldn't get more common because all you have to do is vid-cap (fraps is good for that), or multi screen-cap it.. and they will be banned for a short period of time, which will progress quickly to a perma ban on repeat offenses.
2. No you shouldn't have tried to ram him, that's ban-able too (as above)
3. If you did bring up a discussion on specific players, the thread would have been edited/locked/dumped, and possible forum bans placed. So yeah not appropriate.. But if this thread stays on your original topic, I don't see any problems with it staying open.
4. Sure. I know that devs have stated the current system isn't perfect, and i know they are looking for ways, looking at ways, to improve the current system, it will be unlikely IMO that the current system will remain upon release..
Regards...

Tanitha:

Tanitha: The 50 post rule was put into place on the dev sections about a month ago, specifically to stop players suggesting Tier 11 ants.

Tanitha: If you are using a USB keyboard. you might need to plug in a normal PS2 keyboard. Or get a USB -> PS2 adapter.
Some usb keyboards don't work very well until windows loads.
Apart from pressing f1 to enter the setup. There is usually a way by spamming the delete key during bootup..
Try both of those ways to enter the bios. You need to reset the bios settings (load optimal values) and save them, one way or another..
You bios isn't "bad", the information inside the bios checks as being bad...
You just have to reset the info in the bios.. there will be nothing wrong with the bios itself.

Tanitha: I'm pretty much a qualified computer technician. I have 4 diploma's in computing and owned/ran a warehouse and retail computer shops for 8 years up until a few years ago.. So qualified enough..
Anyway..
Your bios settings are stored by the power plug that plugs into your computer. Even when your computer is off, it still sucks power for many things, including storing the bios settings. When you unplug the power your battery is meant to take over, and continue to store the settings.
My first guess would be that it probably didn't.. Or,, your battery is dead..
There is other less likely things, like it got confused by the size of the ram changing.. Etc..
What I would suggest is fixing the bios settings. As it says on those photos, "Press F1 to enter setup" When you get into setup, there is usually a button called "load optimal settings" And a button for load default settings. both will do, but loading the optimal settings will get your computer running at its fastest speed, default usually doesn't.
Then just save the settings and exit..
Its as easy as that..
If you have continued problems like this (it loses the settings again) then you probably need to replace the battery. Some are soldered onto the board, so very difficult to replace properly. But most now days are like big watch batteries that you can easily replace yourself.
Try the above for starters. Regards.

Tanitha: would like to know also
i have friends signed up that wants to play with me but some of them are waiting still now 2-3 weeks after and still no codes and they of course check junk mail folder also
You don't need to wait for keys at all, there is many many mmorpg gamer type websites that give away keys free and instantly.
So grab a instant key from one of the places with this post below...

Tanitha:

Tanitha: Yay thanks. Looks like all the mmo sites are filling up again.

Tanitha: There is already a stickied topic that is up to date.
http://forum.worldof...available-here/
Thread locked.

Tanitha: Correct..
Thread locked.

Tanitha: There is anti bot systems in place that detects repetitive AFk playing. Which it then bans for..
These scripts looks for players that repeatedly enter battle then go afk and do nothing.
Stat's like 100 games played, 0 shots fired, for example, is obviously a botter/macroer/afk player..
But no you wont get banned for not killing a tank.
Question answered, thread locked..

Tanitha: On the two topics..
1. No players aren't perma banned for one teamkill, or one team damage.
The fact that they are still playing 2 weeks later, is pretty irrelevant. They could have been game banned for 1-3-5-7 days for their first offense.
2. Reply Email.
The "email to YOU" was tagged low priority.
The email TO YOU, was simply a email stating they had acted on your report, and "that email" was low priority. After all that email is low priority, its just a "We got your report thanks"
What they label their email TO YOU, has nothing to do with how high a priority they label the incident or the act, the report, the offense, etc..
If for example you rang 911 and reported a guy with a gun breaking in, the police would prioritize it a high life threatening incident, and act on it immediately. 3 days later when they send you a letter saying, "thanks for your report, the case is now closed" That letter to you, Is low priority. It has nothing to do with the priority of the case..
But I agree, they should just send the emails out with a normal priority, people misunderstand the priority level on the email.. and get offended.. Its not the first time I've seen it. So it could do with being changed.. I'll try to get their email system to send out normal priority emails, so players don't get offended.
Report does work, shooting back is currently against the rules. The team killing system and rules will more than likely be reviewed and improved before release.
Thread locked discussion of players bans in the forums is not appropriate and against the rules.
Topic altered to be correct..

Tanitha: You didn't really get it to work. Cross isnt a "beta tester" and is still a "member".
So use whatever new forum account you made in all that process. This account "cross" cant access most of the forums.
Some of it would have been because SS is not allowed. I think they added coding a while ago to prevent new registrations that don't fit the naming guidelines.
Cross was made "Joined: 17-April 10" Before that coding was in place.

Tanitha: The topic has already been discussed many times.
So i'll merge this post into this thread..
http://forum.worldof...e-after-battle/
And.. There is also these topics as well..

Tanitha: Thread locked due to multiple reports, complaints, players being offended, etc..

Tanitha: The two things you should have done, is..
1. Screencapped his use of language (sexist insults) And emailed it to support@... So he could be dealt with accordingly.
2. Exit the game and hop on another tank.
What you shouldn't have done is..
1. Dead backseat driving. Helping your team after you die is one thing, criticizing their play-style or lack of it, is another.
2. Make a forum thread to dispute mod decisions. Disputes on mod decisions are to be emailed to support@...
3. Swear in your post, even in abbreviated form.
I was going to leave the thread open, but you keep trying to bring the topic back to your ban. So closing..

Overlord: We are considering possible decrease of Hummel's dispersion value for its top gun as well.

Overlord: 1. High-tier ammo is unlikely to become any cheaper. Moreover, with high probability ammo for tier 9-10 guns will see increase in price. For all factions of course.
3. In the current supertest version we didn't modify any damage values, only modified dispersion parameters.
4. +50% mantlet armor is a considerable boost. Anyway it won't make KT any worse.
0.01 dispersion decrease can be unnoticeable in one or a few particular battle(s), but in the long run it's not as insufficient as it seems.

Overlord: JT drivers, what's your opinion of current Jagdtiger performance?

MrVic: If you earned the exp on anything you get it back basically. You get it all back
