merig00: Tank tier, upgrades and a little bit of crew. The next patch will bring new waiting list formation so this will be even more visible.

merig00: WoT features tanks of 1930-1950s and there are some talks of pushing even into 1960s. The game is not limited to the tanks that were used in WW2

merig00: Just a thought - use forum search function before posting. Closed.

merig00: This
ooh and moved to Newcomers' as requested.

merig00: No support vehicles. Been discussed before. Closed.

merig00: What is there to discuss if you haven't played it yet

merig00: What is there to discuss if you haven't played it yet

merig00: Are you sure there was no ammo stored on the path of that projectile?

merig00: Idea for using forum search before posting.
closed.

merig00: Aaah known error. Being worked on. No solution so far

merig00: Why do we have Search function on the forum?
Topic Closed

merig00: Report them with screenshot if possible. If enough people report the same griefer all the time - makes up for a missing TK screenshot

merig00: Maintenance is not over yet, hence the bugs. Closed

merig00: It's an ATI Radeon bug. Alt+tab several times - that should help. Also several users reported that changing the video card options to use game settings helped.

merig00: I don't know but hope it will be per-account. Cause otherwise we would never see SPGs in the town maps and Malinovka will be SPG only map.

merig00: they will be reset (wiped). and you should use search function before posting.
closed

merig00: You'll be able to assign preference rating to your maps

merig00: Part two is posted

MrVic: Its a Ninja fear the ninja tank.... but yeah Hellblazer I think probably got it right.

MrVic: Hmm weird I would send any info you have to Overlord has he would be the best person to get it.

MrVic: Nope At release it will wiped. This is answered elsewhere for the fresh answer its going to get wiped

MrVic: The NDA is in effect and advertising posting or having links to such material is not acceptable. Just because its on the web and has not been removed does not mean it can be spread around So please refrain from doing so.
Soon the NDA will be gone and we can share all the fun vids people have
Currently due to the recent screenshot contest the NDA was removed for "Screenshots" only. It still applies in all other regards.
Thanks!

MrVic: Please refer to http://forum.worldof...ing-team-kills/

MrVic: The NDA is in effect, Installing the client there is a NDA listed everyone agrees to and one at beta registration if I remember correctly. Also its been stated its in effect. Also there is a thread regarding posts and reminding that the NDA is in effect. http://forum.worldof...-notifications/
To repeat myself The NDA is in Effect!
Also in regards to the screenshot contest. quote "World of Tanks team has decided to annul the NDA that prohibited our beta testers to post screenshots of the game" Hence the word screenshots Not videos and not beta content discussions including but not limited to balance, bugs, issues. Screen shots for the contest are permitted. So video ect posted on youtube will be tracked down and can result in Bans ect.
I am sure everyone read their registration and install agreements

merig00: And here is that town which is being created by a map artist Sasha Aseckaya. We were impressed how specific and precise is her reproduction of paving stones on one of the streets... we just roll over it and don't really pay attention but the stones are from the real photo of 1944, though on the photo there are american troops marching on those stones.

The defensive "Siegfried Line" is being created with the same attention to the details - with lines of antitanks obstacles which are identical to the historical barriers.

"Libyan desert will be an amazing map!" - said the head level-designer Pavel Ananev. And right away he showed us the sketch where you can see the landing field, oasis with palms and distinctive houses.

After that the got a sneak peak at a scenic shore of northern France with rocks and a lighthouse.

In the neighboring hangars new tanks are getting the final touches

There is not that much time left - saying devs gesticulating with their hands and watches.

And the shadow of the Wipe is already inexorably standing behind them...

Speaking of which, we were a little bit disappointed by the PR-manager Dmintriy Pinchuk. We came up to him all relaxed so not to scare him off and asked him the usual: "And the last, traditional question..." Dmitriy thought that we'll ask about the creative plans. But we asked him to look us in the eyes and answer without thinking, and screamed together in his ears: "WHEN IS THE WIPE?!!!!" Unfortunately, Dmitriy is a well trained professional...

Thanks for hospitality to Mike, Dmitriy and the Wargmaing.net team.

merig00: Several russian players visited the Wargaming's office to see how the tanks are made. I just translated it.
We found the Wargaming.net nest by accident. We were just driving... Standard street, standard office building, standard parki... Stop! We saw something unusual on the parking lot, that made us to hit the breaks and rush into the assembly workshops where our tanks are being put together. There are rumors that Overlord drives to work that green thing with a huge gun.

I must admit, the place was nothing that we imagined. There were no foundry or clanking of metal. It's just two office floors filled with computers on which our game is made by young guys like these:

The Community Management department was also nothing like I have imagined. First of all it's very large - 15 people. Secondly, all they were holding in their hands - computer mouse: no carrots, no whips or other trade tools of an Admin and Moderator. Even their boss Lena Nosova did not have some mere banhammer, so she was forced to answer our questions.
Even though most people are young they approach their work very responsibly. For example, when doing especially important work every employee has to wear personal tank helmet. (just kidding - we just asked one of the artists Vitaliy Lashkov to put it on to create appropriate atmosphere).

And here Pavel Stasevich shows us sketches of awards, which will be given to players for their achievements.

Two fragments of the above picture are worth of cropping. For example, here are medals and badges. It is important to notice that they decided not to copy the real rewards of the Second World War ("We figured that we have no right to give out real medals, even drawn, for the game achievements.") The most significant medals are named after famous tankers (see our FAQ on hero of the battle).

And here are the books laying on the devs tables. The most interesting ones are the top one (Luftwaffe squardrons 1930-1945) and bottom one (Planes of Germany). Who knows what to expect from them.

Just like during the war, everything for the front is made by women' hands. And these hands are so used to work with armor, that... For example we asked the 3D-Manager Yulia Vasileva to do a quick demonstration and sketch us BMW SUV (top right). No matter what Yulya did - the sketch always ended up being a tank.

Not only tanks, but other objects in the game have real life prototypes. This is an example how using a real picture a in game horse sculpture is made. The memorial to some Prussian imperator will be standing on one of the squares of old german town.

merig00: If it is implemented it should be done with at least 30% penalty.

merig00: I know some trees will be fixed in Ensk... not sure which one though

merig00: well call cogneto.com and complain

merig00: There should be alert or something to use search function before making a post. Confirmation window is coming with the next patch.

merig00: Try these suggestions to improve FPS http://forum.worldof...preferencesxml/
Don't expect FPS to go above 15 with your config.

merig00: What they said. Next time something like that happens when you are in a tank/TD hit Shift and see for yourself

merig00:

merig00: Yes. And using search function will affect your carma.
