Kazomir, on 04 February 2011 - 11:24 PM, said: why we can customise the normal aiming but not the scope (sniper, or shift) mode??


NEMESIS, on 05 February 2011 - 06:35 PM, said: 1.Will there be any wipes done after release say 1-2 years after release,will you do soft/hardwipes since loads of players will be on tier 10 tanks?If i invest time and money into grinding to tier 10`s will i have that unlocked for the rest of the games life or will there at some point be a reset?
2.How will accounts be treated once you create an account can you have an free account forever?if you take a leave for a few months will your account be deleted?
3.Any plans on adding game replays,something like Starcraft replays,everyone at some stage has had godlike match that he`d like to show off to friends,think this would be extremely well welcomed by the entire community and would be better then any achievement medal.
4.Any plans on adding an option for removing the film grain when you die in a match,its cool the first few times you see it afterwards it becomes quite annoying.
5.At what rate can we expect to see more maps after game launch? When can we expect maps based on Berlin,Moscow,Stalingrad,Paris etc.
6.Its still unclear to me with all this server talk,will Euro players be able to play with their buddies from America,Australia etc?even if we`re on different servers?Can u please clarify?
7.Any plans for revising Maus`s front armor plate from 200mm ingame to 220 mm like real life now that we`re going to get in game tanks with 300mm frontal armor(US Tank Destroyer T95)?
8.Will you please consider adding possibility to customize screen shot hot key or at least move screen shot key from ctrl+pr screen(which is very very cumbersome ) to something more accessible like '' ` '' for ease of use?
9.Any news on when '' out of graphic memory ,changing textures to low quality'' error will be solved,lately i seem to be getting it alot faster then before mostly around 1-2 hours max sometimes even as fast as 30 minutes between game restarts.
10.Any plans on giving tier 10 upgrade options just like every other tank?Think everyone would love to see that and would set tier 10`s more apart,for example maus can start with 12km/h engine and 12.8 and upgrade to 20 km/h engine and 15.0cm gun or long 12.8cm.
11.Will there be an option to allocate unused xp on tanks to crew training even after the xp has been earned,right now i have 350k xp sitting on my King Tiger and nothing to do with it,can u give us an option to spend it on crew training to transform it into credits or free xp at specific rate?
12.How far up on the priority list is the E series tanks?My understanding is that they`ll come much after french tanks arrive which is still unknown when are due,so when can we expect E series, before summer 2011 or should we be looking forward to them during holidays 2011?
And is there any chance you`ll shift your priority from french tanks to E series given that the vast majority would rather have the later?
13.Any plans on changing visibility system so that enemies won`t be able to see you around the corner of a house(or standing on opposite sides of building without first being spotted) which currently eliminates the element of surprise/ambushes from city battles?
14.Any plans of introducing colored platoons,by this i mean have platoon mates colored differently on the map then the rest of the team,as well has have their back ground name colored same as on the minimap,this could be very usefull rather then having to constantly ask mates over ts where they are.
15.When can we expect a solution to Tk`ers,it`s been suggested many time to simply reflect all damage done on friendlies back at the aggressor,have you considered implementing this?


Raptor_Fulcrum, on 05 February 2011 - 10:11 PM, said: I also have a small question. When you add a clock and a calendar in the garage?


Fimp3n, on 06 February 2011 - 06:06 AM, said: Will the decals and emblems that will be incorporated include flags of different nations? If not, will we be able to make decals/emblems of our own that can be uploaded and incorporated into the client with a patch for example?


ArmorShark7, on 06 February 2011 - 01:14 PM, said: When are we going to see a "localization update", fixing the mistakes, typos, etc. that have been found for the various languages?


CerVus, on 06 February 2011 - 01:44 PM, said: I saw a screenshot where pzIV has sideskirts. Does it mean we will get this upgrade options for german tanks?


Wolfgang_Kruger, on 06 February 2011 - 02:29 PM, said: can we play with friends from other servers now or will this be an possibility in the future?
is the current techtrees final? if not then in case of strong and popular demand will you add new vehicles in question to the tech trees.
how soon can we expect to be able to auction tanks and crews between eachother, any fix or rough date when that is added?
will there be an option to trade gold for credits or will you need to either be in a clan or simply buy them with real money as is.
if i would buy an very expensive premium tank for my allowance and i lost it due to an soft/hardwipe the next day would i get compensation of some sort?.
will you add the ability to shoot down some vegetation in a future patch?
will clans be able to make their own tanks or will they simply have better ones than normal players got, or have access to a more elaborate techtree than normal players have?.
any chance that we might be able to access the WoT forum from inside the game in the future?, (would be very helpful and good for the community).
will there be map rooms where clan members can roam free, leave and enter whenever they want?.
will clans be able to customise and tailor their vehicles according to their specific needs?.
when will we have the larger maps added?.
when can we roughly expect japanese tanks will be hitting the field?.


El_Barto, on 07 February 2011 - 11:50 AM, said: Which gift tank will the european CB-testers get?


Kazomir, on 07 February 2011 - 11:54 AM, said: are there any plans on tweaking the scouts? Making them more significant, maybe?


ArmorShark7, on 07 February 2011 - 12:10 PM, said: What exactly is the T28 tank destroyer's design, with single tracks and solid hull front, based upon?

Is it from some early conceptual drawing?
I want to read more on the evolution of this vehicle, care to give me a source?


bloodie, on 07 February 2011 - 04:32 PM, said: Will the 10 seconds spotting checks be changed, at the moment it feels to much like your rolling a dice when spotting arty.


bloodie, on 07 February 2011 - 10:16 PM, said: We did some tests to see how long it took to go invisible once spotted it was usually around 10 seconds, like a base check that happens every 10 seconds. We came to the conclusion that there is a 'default' spot check, with another check if a person fires or moves. Im not correct? ok


DKWK, on 07 February 2011 - 06:53 PM, said: Well I did notice some things, and can't find a answer anywhere on it, so hope I get some here.
Some have different tags under group's like:
Group: Beta Testers.
Group: Special Beta Testers.
Group: Supertesters.
Group: Players and maybe more
.
Now we all know people related to the staff, but those besides the Beta Tester (wich I am in), need some explaining, like function and how to get that group.
Next is that i noticed we have a file called "AOGAS.po" and when I view it, it stands for "Anti-online game addiction system warning".
I have never seen anything like that popup on my screen, also not any function of turning it on/off.
Where is that in use?
How is that in use?
That's it for now, I need to test the new update, on the Russian Server soon, as it just have updated to version 0.6.3.7 (not test version)


Makikou, on 08 February 2011 - 04:59 PM, said: Can you give us any examples of how are you going to nerf the T-54, or not at all?


Lech, on 08 February 2011 - 05:59 PM, said: My link
This is last patch before hard wipe?


Cobra6, on 08 February 2011 - 07:13 PM, said: I'd like an official answer or a link to message with an official source. No member speculation please.


shugendo, on 08 February 2011 - 07:25 PM, said: hi, i want to know about the price of tank slot and barracks . now it is 150 gold and 300 gold for barracks, will it be increased after release? i am asking because on Russian server it costs 300 gold ( don't remember barracks price ).


Allitair, on 08 February 2011 - 09:26 PM, said: Will we have a forewarning of most (if not all) if the tanks which will be released, if only in statistic form? as in after release if people discover the tier 9 French tank destroyer will be better than their own long after actual release they may be fairly disappointed with their current choice.
Put simply will we know of all tanks and their in game statistics before the actual implementation of the tank.


ArmorShark7, on 08 February 2011 - 11:00 PM, said: Soviet, German, USA, French, British, Italian, Japanese, Mixed European.


Fimp3n, on 09 February 2011 - 12:07 AM, said: And "Mixed European" means what? Does it mean we'll see a Swedish fm/21 and/or Centurion? *fingers crossed*
I posted images of both of those two tanks in this post:

shugendo, on 09 February 2011 - 02:05 AM, said: want to know, slots for equipment and consumables are going to increase or no? because its kinda silly to have only three. why i cant add something more than three? for example if i have optics; net and toolbox in my tank why i cant add rammer or ventilation? if problem is weight i think you should check them again because i doubt that net weights 100 kg in real same goes for consumables.


DriveBy, on 09 February 2011 - 02:47 PM, said: I have several questions:
Are You going to revamp/improve/evolve maps that stimulate excessive basecamping in free-for-all battles (mainly Komarin, Murovanka, Malinovka - they can be good for clanmatches or companies, but are rather poor for randomly generated teams)?
Are You going to try some maps with (one or two - doesn't really matter) cap points near the center of the map to stimulate aggressive manouver in meeting engagement style?
Do You plan to add smokescreens in the future? I mean smoke grenades dischargers, smokeshells for SPGs and even for tanks? Is it possible on this engine?
Could You turn on more options for voicechat - mainly always-on and voice-activated (due to some bug once my voicechat behaved like voice-activated, it stopped after pressing q)?


Raptor_Fulcrum, on 10 February 2011 - 01:47 AM, said: I have found on Russian site your ideas for the next patch.
http://game.worldoft.../in_development
"Обмен золотом между игроками"
The translator wrote: "exchange of gold between players".
Overlord can you explain how it works?


Souroy, on 08 February 2011 - 03:24 PM, said: My previous post was deleted so here I come again:
- Which model of the AMX Tracteur C will be used in the French tree, 1939 or 1940 ?
- I found nothing about the FCM 20t, can you enlighten me ?
- In the upcoming patch, the German premium Somua S35 will become a Tier 3, will it be the same for the one in the French tree ?
- Why is the AMX-40 classed as a Light tank whereas it was a Cavalry tank, as the AMC 35 and Somua S35 (which are classed as Medium tanks in the Tree) ?
- Purely cosmetic question, what "national mark" will be on French tanks ?
A tricolor roundel like on some Early-war tank (but often masked with mud as it was too visible) or a small flag (as on this B1 Bis or on this AMX-13) ?
- Will the premium H39 have a 120hp engine as IRL instead of his current 75hp ?


PanzerKnacker, on 10 February 2011 - 12:33 PM, said: 1st. Is it possible for the Ferdinand to get the long 105mm gun, like the KingTiger?
2nd. Will the second JagdTiger gun get changed visually because now i don't think there's any difference btween the two.
