Only some gift card, something similar to promo codes functioning normal, every other in game gold transfer will lead to problems like in every other game. I mean, not everyone will use that in bad way but there will be a lot of people for sure.

then again, this might be some kind of implicit punishment for having work and helping the capitalist system

Ping was fine during the matches and I live in Belgium. During the last days I had no ping issues. Are the Eu-Servers located in Germany? Normally you can read dozens of reports if a main german cable provider is having problems. Havent seen any yet.
I wish you the best sucess for patchday and for solving the other problems.

ManniWars, on 16 May 2011 - 01:00 PM, said: Jepp. I played the german TDS line and i got frustrated when i saw that the same Tier TDS of russian side got at least 30-40% stronger weapons.
And this keeps getting on and on and dont even stop at the JagtTiger... AND FOR GODs SAKE EVERYONE KNOWS that germans made the deadliest weapons in WW2.
So... How am i supposed to get around with such pathetic and obvious overpowering of russian tanks. Here some historical facs:
Battle for Kursk: 05.07 - 16.07.1943 (Last german major offensive)
Russian: lost AT LEAST 1614 Tanks, experts are calculating much more, because lots of tanks went to fight many times because they got repaired
So the estimated Tank-Kill count is 2000 Tanks. In Addition to that there are 3929 Artillery Guns. = 5929 ~ 6000 destroyed vehicles.
Germans: Got only 2699 Tanks there and lost 350 AT MOST (that was the higher count)... Experts here counting with less...
That a Kill/Death Rate of 17-1 with artillery and 5,7 with only tanks rated...
So please tell me guys... How is it possible that russian tanks are stronger than german tanks... In 1on1 totally much stronger?
It is a prooven fact that an IS and IS2 were no match for a Tiger-Tank... Dont mention the TigerII o.O!
I tell you how this is possible... Russian developpers making russion vehicles way too strong.
NICE GAME!

KK3K, on 17 May 2011 - 01:02 AM, said: could you post a download link for the patch before the server comes up? so we can have it installed and ready. I think it will ease the patching process.
once the server comes up everyone will start with the download, having people installing it before, would ease the process i believe.
but then, i could be wrong.

WG must have figured that whilst the server is down, they may as well get 6.4 on the go...

han_solo_79, on 15 May 2011 - 09:56 PM, said: Question:
- Overlord, do you have some statistics concerning which nation is most popular?
Reason:
- Russian tanks are easier to play, in some way they're overpowered when rest is underpowered (big guns with big penetration on lower tiers)and I have noticed tahat due this reason most players choose them to play (and I remember some stats from russian site that were twice more players in t54 than in pantherII and pershing together)
Question:
- If exist players bias through Russian armor how does it impact on statistics?
Reason:
- When only good players choose american and german armor and bad, average and good players choose Rusian armor that statistic will not show that the Russian armor is better than rest.
Thank you.


x_Iskra_x, on 15 May 2011 - 10:04 PM, said: I know people have asked this before but nobody asked after game release :
So will this game finally come in some sort of "collectors" box edition in stores ? Will it have any special premium tanks included or extra gold for us "box" buyers ? I mean if I type World of tanks box edition and google it I just get 2 pages who give me information that game should have come in boxed edition when it was released and there were some pre-release orders for it ??!! I really tried hard to get any information about this but all info is outdated and I dont see any notifications from developers that they will release it in near future(or ever).
One more small question :
I read somewhere that we will be able to buy additional armor plates for our tanks; So will this change be visible on tanks after mounting them ?
Thanks for your effort in making this game.

MrCaffeLatte, on 15 May 2011 - 11:02 PM, said: Can we have a full list of the developers (or those who have an input on the balance tweaks) who play the game as a testing process?
It would be nice to know that every (disputed balance) tank has been played extensively by someone on the dev team.


Kazomir, on 16 May 2011 - 10:03 AM, said: Why artilerry in a bush is so freaking hard to find? I mean, every time i must be at least 10 meters away to spot it, if not less, and by that time he can get a direct shot at me and kill me, this is really frustrating!


JimmyBond, on 16 May 2011 - 10:09 AM, said: Hang on a second.... im slugging my way through the T34 as we speak to get my T30, as it has the best gun (my favoured play style) - which is the reason i went for this heavy. Are you honestly now telling me that the future American Heavy replacement for the T30 wont have the same all powerful gun???? If this is so, i cannot begin to tell you how pissed people will be, infact it will probably spell the end for me. As the time and effort wasted on this underpowered line will be redundent.... something that i just didnt sign up for!
Please put my fears to rest about this new tank?


JimmyBond, on 16 May 2011 - 11:33 AM, said: So what you are telling me, is that it is now going to have zero good qualities about it? Week armour, week bounce offs, week gun...... So basically i have wasted my entire time on the yank Heavy Tree?
Its now got paper thin armour and has no powerful gun behind it..... so its basically a T34 then..... Wow... i cant believe your doing this.... it beggers belief?
For the first time, i genuinely feel like ive just been flipped over & done dry by WG. I cannot believe it
On a side note, thanks for the quick (if not disturbing) response. It is appreciated, even when its bad news.


Jamezdin, on 16 May 2011 - 03:04 PM, said: I have a question regarding PREMIUM TIME.
Do we get an extension, or a refund for any server downtime? For example tomorrow's downtime is quite long but what happens to people who bought 24hour premium today?
Basically they lost quite a bit of gold (in fact anyone who planned to play during that time and has premium looses)


RokRoland, on 16 May 2011 - 01:45 PM, said: Was the "empty ammo rack does not detonate" tip wrong? Some replies in this thread suggest that. Is there any connection between how many rounds there are left in the tank, and ammo rack detonation chance?
If you killed at least 10 tier 4+ vehicles several times you have my respect, but I must wonder if you forgot this requirement.
Additional question on game interface:
Do you have plans to improve the UI customization? Current problems include not being able to bind to extra mouse buttons (e.g. Mouse 5 for talk would be useful), and not being able to bind all controls in the game, e.g. zoom in - zoom out keys.


Sturmtiger_304, on 16 May 2011 - 05:44 PM, said: Regarding the new and improved German tech tree in the comming many months:
No compensation for the Tiger II drivers that suddenly gets moved to another tree that leads to completely different heavy vehicles?


Shireknight, on 16 May 2011 - 09:08 PM, said: Overlord, I have downloaded and installed fan made skins for pretty much every tank in the game, do I need to put all the original files back in again before I patch it or will the patch just overwrite any changes I have made please?
