Ectar: From here

Ectar, on 01 August 2014 - 12:13 PM, said: I guess this answer may get lost in the forums but hopefully people will reference it. For a little while now there has been a bit of a credit saturation/flood. It's been easier more than ever for players to generate income. High tier tanks especially were becoming credit farming machines and if you were savvy, it was possible for premium tanks to earn even more credits. At the time no one really complained about this because well, it was a massive return for little effort and players benefited from it. Everyone did kinda know/accept however it was a bit broken and not how we really wanted the progression system/credit generation system to work. The mission system was new however and we wanted everyone to see how awesome this new feature was. To give a perfect example of how crazy it could be, in July last year It was possible to have up to 60% credit increase on tier VIII to X tanks from a certain tree by combining weekly/monthly events. 30% increased credits for Big & Heavy - Fv4202 line (event lasted for 2 weeks) 30% increased credits for being in the top 3 damage dealers. (This was either a monthly mission or a weekly mission) 2/7/2013 - 105,788 credits earned Tank used - FV4202 2/7/2013 - 104,614 credits earned Tank used - FV4202 6/7/2013 - 125,793 credits earned Tank used - FV4202 8/7/2013 - 91,499 credits earned Tank used - FV4202 These matches are not made up. As you can see these examples are clickable links to my own replays. Now I consider myself a decent player but not great and these replays were a snapshot of the kind of credits I was pulling in. An average game rewarded me with about 70,000 to 80,000 credits. I was walked away with about 50k profit after repairs etc. To cut a long story short, for a little while now it's been too easy to make extra credits on top of how the game was designed with regards to advancement. High tier tanks especially are not intended to give returns better or similar to premium tanks. High tier tanks are also priced in such a way so that they take longer to get. As there isn't much in the way of credit sinks in the game, the only alternative option *for now* is to tone down the amount of extra credits players can earn on top of normal game play. This credit earning downturn is effect across all regions. It's likely that credit missions for things like being the top 3 damage will return, but we have to make sure it's not possible to combine them with other missions and again we don't want a scenario where the missions basically circumvent the progression gates we have.

IronSpear, on 07 August 2014 - 04:05 PM, said: OK lets brake it down. 50% off tanks that are cheap anyhow aka no one gives a ... about sub tier 5 Bad

Ectar: You mean *you* don't care about. Saying "No one" and meaning "Everyone" is just you trying to generalize all World of Tanks players into a group to suit your needs and you have zero evidence or numbers to back up the claims. I don't understand how you can come to that conclusion. Those tanks are perhaps cheap to players who have a lot of credits. They are not cheap to players who don't have a lot of credits. Tier V is also well known along with tier VI as being good tanks for earning credits, hence whenever these tanks are discounted, there is a noticeable surge/rise in purchases of them.

IronSpear, on 07 August 2014 - 04:05 PM, said: OK lets brake it down. 25% off emblems (you just had a 50%) never buy this stuff for more Bad

Ectar: So we should now never discount emblems or only discount them by 50%? Can't have it like that all the time. Discounts won't always be the same and with a limited amount of things we can discount/offer as a bonus it's likely things may feature back to back. If we spaced everything out equally it would be pretty easy to know when specific things are up.

IronSpear, on 07 August 2014 - 04:05 PM, said: OK lets brake it down. kill 5 Jap tanks trololol BAD 2 small repair kits keep it ... Island assault is OK

Ectar: 5 tanks is a lot easier than previous missions and there is an increased chance of seeing Japanese tanks due to their own mission requirements. 2 small repair kits for free is better than paying for them. Look at it this way folks. You just had our 16th anniversary special last week with some significant discounts and bonuses. (Double Experience for Every Victory, 15% discount on all standard vehicles, tier VIII – X, 50% discount on equipment) Next week is Gamescom which will have additional major discounts/bonuses, and when there is a normal weekend special in between, what are you honestly looking for here? Something to rival those 2 major events? come on guys, think about the big picture for a few moments here. Some of you really need to manage your expectations during weekend events and get these crazy ideas out of your heads with regards to what you seem to think is coming as we can't doing awesome amazing discounts/bonuses every weekend.

Ectar, on 18 June 2014 - 03:48 PM, said: It can be helpful as a guide for player opinions on certain subjects. If someone agrees/likes a post, rather than say something they'll just upvote. If they hate or disagree with a post, they'll downvote it. Generally: High rep status is on accounts where people put effort into being helpful and entertaining/funny, their content is normally consistent and you'll see these people often on the forums. Low rep is due to posting content that many people disagree with, either due to having a different point of view on a hot topic, or setting out to upset and annoy other forum users. There is multiple exceptions to this however and some people are either victims of clans/groups ganging up to downvote someone, or someone getting friends/clan members to upvote them to disguise their less that helpful nature. Also someone can get hundreds of upvotes/downvotes due to a single post depending on the mood of the community at the time or the content. A funny/witty remark or image, a well written and informative observation, a controversial or opposite stance from the majority in a thread are some examples. We don't show who upvotes/downvotes to prevent people PMing each other with things like "why did you downvote me?" etc etc. It creates a nasty vicious circle. This information is available to WG staff so we can see if it is being abused and if needed, we can remove the ability to upvote/downvote from players. It's a guide but it's not the full picture. You can always easily tell by someone's posting history and what they say to quickly see their true nature despite what the upvotes/downvotes show.

Ectar: And again, we don't use the in-game notification for normal streamers. It's only really ever used for things like the major ESL tournaments/finals etc or special events/streams by Wargaming. It's not a regular thing you're going to see every day/week. This is done to raise awareness of the eSport side of the game where our target audience is the World of Tanks players and an in-game notification can reach over 150,000 players instantly. It's quite common for players to have the stream active in the background listening to what is happening as they play World of Tanks or do other tasks.

Ectar: I tend to avoid topics discussing how to measure a players skill level, and at 100 battles I can see your point. But when players get to something like 6000 battles plus, the player who has a 45% win ratio then will be noticeably different from a player with 55% win ratio. The main difference between those players is likely going to be a combination of the 2 biggest things people take a while to learn: Map awareness (for example knowing the common engagement areas and being aware of the battle going on around them) Knowing the stats/performance of the enemy tanks and your team's tanks. 2 also works with 1 as knowing your tank and the other tanks on the battlefield means you know where to go on the map. It also means you know when to break off and cover a side that's falling or to cover team mates retreating etc. World of Tanks really is one of those games that's easy to get into but pretty difficult to master as you need to be thinking a few steps ahead of the battle so you can react in time to things happening around you.

Ectar: It's a tad bit frustrating. It basically means you're still ok to do livestreams with music in the background, but if you make highlights or VOD's with the livestream material, it's likely to be muted due to the music. If you still want to host World of Tanks highlights and past broadcasts on Twitch without interruption, then you'll need to make sure any background music from sources like Youtube, Spotify, Groveshark, Itunes etc etc is muted and not playing. Only the in game sounds and music would be ok directly from the World of Tanks client. Twitch is also changing how it's VOD's are stored since the majority of them never get any plays past a certain date. Regular streamers who are not a partner or Turbo will only see their VOD's last 14 days. For Partners and Turbo users it's 60 days. Highlights will still be around forever but they're limited to 2 hours in length. In a way it's like Twitch is trying to move away from VOD storage on their channels. It's a bit sad that many funny and entertaining highlights will be muted as a result of this but meh, I can see both sides of discussion. Something like this was always going to happen. I guess It will possibly result in more streamers setting up their own websites to host their past broadcasts etc.

Ectar said it is.

Ectar: When there was no penalty for drowning, it was considered against the rules as it was a way of exiting the battle without paying a repair cost. This wasn't an intended gameplay mechanic as much as people tried to argue it. It was an oversight in the new physics system when it was introduced. Now that when a player drowns their tanks they pay maximum repair bills, it's not considered against the rules. Cheesy, lame, cowardly, trollish, whatever else you want to call it, but against the rules it isn't.

Ectar: I'll take a well played scout in my team over a heavy/medium/td/arty any time. It's a very difficult role to play well, especially knowing when to run, when to shoot and when to hold your ground a spot. The spotting is key, a good scout can always turn the tide of a battle. Heavys and TD's rely heavily on someone else spotting for them so they can shoot without being detected (or at least get some shots off before being detected).

This isn't something we do regularly and we have no plans to use the in-game notifications to highlight individual streamers

Top tip, if someone is streaming they're not going to tell you that and they're not going to pause and have a conversation with you. They are still normal players like everyone else and are under no obligation to stop what they're doing just to acknowledge your messages in-game. Yes it may be polite to just say hello but when the guy is in the middle of a brawl it's kinda silly to expect immediate attention.

Ectar: Indeed, which is why looking at balance like that doesn't work as what you'll end up with is the same generic tank for all nations at each tier. You can't give a tank an advantage over another whilst having a drawback because that would be unfair right? "I would have beaten you if I had your gun depression" etc would still persist otherwise. The majority of matches the Panther would face off against is going to be other tier VII tanks, any balancing you do for it purely to improve it's performance against tier IX makes it too powerful against tier V and vice versa if it's too powerful against tier V and you nerf it, then it will perform terrible in the tier IX games. It's not as easy as everyone like to think it is when it comes to balancing.

Ectar: Well it doesn't have to be extreme, even small changes can have massive effect. Bear in mind games that are quoted such as Dota 2 and LoL won't just do a single pass on a character and then never go back. You could argue that those games are balanced but then if you play either you know that some champions are almost never selected as they're viewed as inferior. As with any game that has any type of class system, if you put stuff in a "rank/list" you're always going to have characters/classes/vehicles at the top and some at the bottom. People will naturally play the top ones and avoid the bottom. It doesn't always mean that the bottom one is useless or not fun, just that min/maxers will always have their top picks. When everything is competitive with everything at it's tier and everything is sorta equal, that's not necessarily a good situation. No one wants to play a character/class/vehicle that's just the same as 10 others and the only difference being how it looks. We will never for example balance a tank based on it sitting in the open trading shots with another tank at 300 meters. Nor do we think "Ok lets balance the Panther based on fighting a Tiger, ok now balance it fighting an IS, ok now fighting a Comet, ok now a Jagpanther, ok now a T29" etc etc. Armour thickness, armour angles, shell penetration, shell damage, module location - there is a whole host of variations that can affect the outcome of any fight. Remember only we have the full statistics from the server and we look at the big picture.

Looking forward to here why

Also remember to explain why US almost every time has MUCH better missions, and I don't care about what mission is called (top of the trees, on track etc.) And why is there only a million dollar extravaganza in US and not EU?

Ectar: Well I've explained already why the credit rewards are lower. The NA credit boost for the top 3 tanks of the branch is also only 15% and their portal has been updated accordingly. I can't explain why NA is doing better specials, only the NA team could tell you the reasoning behind that. They have different goals for their region and offers will be different as a result to that. I find it strange everyone compares what happens in EU to what happens in NA, and RU or SEA is never mentioned. - Even when we did match NA specials all that happened is people turned their nose up at the specials and said RU was better. It really is impossible to find a middle ground (the same specials for all regions isn't going to happen). It wouldn't matter if we did every discount and bonus possible, if NA had 1 thing extra the usual people we see in these threads would still post in the thread only to point out that NA is different and the rubbish what's on offer. There comes a point when we accept that no matter what we do, players will always complain at discounts and bonuses as they look at things purely on a personal point of view. Alternatively they're looking at weekend specials just to see what's not there so they can complain/highlight it. Whist in some situations it can seem that people aren't getting enough, the flip side of that is it's easy to pass over when people may be getting too much. Remember the intentions of the bonuses and discounts is that they're supposed to feel special. Sadly many of them are now taken from granted and people realistically ask for things like 50% discount on tier VIII-X or expect an equipment sale every 2nd month because the other discounts we do are just things they always expect to be there.

Ectar: Map guides. I see a lot of people do tank reviews but I don't see people do map guides showing the common hotspots or where to go depending on the tank you're playing. Lots of people don't know that heavies need to be in certain areas to be zone denial or to brawl with the other heavies. Many medium players don't know where to flank etc. I'd love to see a youtube channel do a video series with map strategies. I'd expect it to get lots of views.

Ectar: I'll never insult my team, sure I'll question their intentions to try and help me understand what's going on, but insulting team mates gets you no where. If someone starting saying "Omg noob team" or as soon as the battle starts they're saying things like "Oh great another loss", the only think they'll get from me is an addition to my ignore list. In short, ignore those players. Don't let them get to you. Everyone has bad games and the people who just want to abuse team mates are not worth worrying about.

Ectar: So what you're saying is that if you played arty yourself, making those shots would be easy for you right?

Why are balance changes so slow?

Ectar: We update the game roughly every 1.5 months. The bigger the game the longer changes may take. Changing code isn't as easy as everyone thinks it is and for certain changes we need feedback from the servers first.

Pro clan members... why use Gold ammo....?

Genie_of_the_Lamp, on 04 August 2014 - 11:56 AM, said: Question is; if you were leader of such a clan; wouldn't this be a reason to kick this person out?

Ectar: I'd expect that leaders of top clans want their players to win and no, I don't expect them to kick someone for using premium rounds. If I was a clan leader myself I wouldn't personally care what equipment my players used. If you get shot by gold or not it doesn't matter. You win some you lose some, premium ammo is available for anyone that wants it and it's almost always situational when you use it. I personally only have a few shells for clutch moments when I need to pen and get the kill. - Like if i'm the last tank on my team against the last enemy tank. Using a full premium loadout isn't sustainable. People have pointed this out multiple times, try it yourself and see. Everyone doesn't run about shooting only premium ammo, not unless they're throwing money at the game.

Today's Old School TD's

Ectar: When we made changes to the E75, everyone predicted the world would end. - As it stands it's still arguably the best tier 9 you can play even with it's known lower front plate issue. If your tank has a known obvious weakspot, it's recommended to hide it to stop people shooting it. Think yourself lucky you can do so, the British TD's would love to swap their cupola's with you. The advantage the Jagt 8.8 has is a quick firing gun which allows you to get multiple shots off in a short period of time. It's a tank designed to farm credits which it does exceedingly well.
