LiannaSilverwind: They spend too much time blaming MM, their team, enemy team, hacks, cheats and random, instead of playing.

IPaul72: Hello all
Just back from my ban in here and could be banned again  
Kind Regards
IPaul72

IPaul72: Hello there Thomeus
Maybe you would like to contact support with this query, as they have the tools to be able to help you with this matter  
Kind Regards
IPaul72

IPaul72: Hello there JackDinn
It is true what a majority of players have posted within this topic and that is that you maybe issued a warning for non compliance of the rules.
However, there are many way in which the rules are breached but without knowing what the rules are first it is easily achieved.
I would say creating a post like this can quite easily land you with a warning for breaching this rule :
                    
2.8 Discussing disciplinary actions
This category includes:
1. Creating posts or threads to discuss disciplinary actions taken against a player in game or on the forums
2. Creating posts or threads to discuss moderators or moderator decisions and actions
If a member is found to have participated in such actions, he/she will:
• Be given a temporary ban from the World of Tanks forums, depending upon severity
If in future you have any queries either contact support (depending what the problem is) refer to Hunter1911's post here :
http://forum.worldof...37#entry4610137
However if you have any future queries about the rules you can find the forum rules set here.
There is also a copy of the games rule set here. They both can be found at the very of of the newcomers forum section.

IPaul72: Hello there MadInAShed
Sorry just had to comment here    
I do agree the moderators do a cracking job its a shame they can't be everywhere at once, but as the game grows so does the forums. As you may know moderators are in both constantly and they do an excellent job.
However, it does sometimes seem like you put it (a nut is being cracked with a sledgehammer) this is because some players are well known by the contents of their posts. Sometimes sanctions can be a little severe but they are all done by the rule set. Most of the time, the moderators are sometimes lenient in placing sanctions as the rule set the moderators has is very specific in certain topics.
I was a moderator myself before community coordinator, I always thought being a good moderator was knowing when to be kind and knowing when to be strict, it is a fine line which does take some walking.
This is why I think at the moment, the moderators we have are a good bunch and do very good job.
Kind Regards all

LiannaSilverwind: Мне кажется, что арта скорее почти полностью рандомна.
Опытный артовод попадает в нубье достаточно часто, но ему непросто убить опытного игрока. Плохой артовод попадает в основном случайно. И у того и у другого может выйти промах или неудачный бросок на дамаг.
Тем не менее и опытный и неопытный игрок могут огрести от арты, которая выстрелила навскидку, увеличивая таким образом фактор случайности в игре.

Aodheus: Bonjour à tous ! Ce sujet a pour but de récolter toutes les questions que vous aimeriez poser à nos développeurs. N'oubliez pas de lire toutes les réponses déjà données par les développeurs avant de poser la votre. Notre chef de projet pour World of Tanks, _Quasar_, récoltera les questions les plus pertinentes et les transmettra à nos développeurs pour y apporter des réponses.

Merci de bien vouloir suivre ces quelques règles quand vous poserez votre question: Essayez de rester clairs et précis
IMPORTANT - Une seule question par message et par joueur.
Merci d'éviter de poster des messages hors-sujets ou sans rapport direct avec le sujet, ceci sous-entends également les réponses aux questions posées par d'autres joueurs.
Merci de prendre soin de poser des questions en rapport avec le développement du jeu.
Afin d'essayer de filtrer un minimum les questions, il vous faudra avoir un minimum de 500 batailles sur votre compte de jeu avant de pouvoir poser votre question. Si vous n'avez pas obtenu de réponse à votre question, ne vous inquiétez pas, il est probable que celle-ci fasse partie d'une prochaine vague de réponses.Plus la question posée est pertinente, plus grandes seront vos chances d'obtenir une réponse.

Cmd_Latina: To ja może tak dla podsumowania podam wyniki poprzednich tur:
13:00

OldFox: Ну тогда арту апнут - нерфить ее уже некуда. Попадает только по тем, кто совершенно не помнит о ней или не знает мест нычек. Грамотного игрока с арты редко убьешь.

Cmd_Latina:
To jak dopracujesz podziel się z nami pod tym linkiem!  

Cmd_Latina: Oto właśnie chodzi i to psuje zabawę. Prosimy czytać opis konkursów i zgłaszać się tylko gdy spełniacie wymagania i jesteście dostępni.

_Quasar_: Updated for 0.8.5

How does the Match Maker work?
World of Tanks is a team-based massively multiplayer online action game dedicated to armoured warfare in the middle of the 20th century. The core of its gameplay consists of two teams made of 15 players, fighting on a battlefield against each other.
The vehicles that are present on the battlefields are divided into classes (light, medium and heavy tanks, self-propelled anti-tank guns and tank destroyers). The classes are split over 10 tiers.
In order to ensure that the “random battles” (the main game mode) keep the interest of our players, the following three conditions need to be respected in every battle:Equality among the vehicles present on the battlefield within the two teams
Variety in the type of vehicles present on the battlefield
Unpredictability of the course and outcome of the battle This task is being performed by a special module/system that is located on the server side of the game, the so-called “Match Maker”. This selects the tanks for both teams, makes sure that the teams are even and that each battle can start.
When the “Match Maker” first appeared in the Closed Beta (there was none during the Alpha stage), there were only two types of battle levels:Sandbox with tanks from the 1st and 2nd tiers
Common battles comprising all the other tiers (3-10) Since then our "MM" has evolved and a whole new sophisticated table composed of 12 types of battles was born (battle tiers).
The first 10 battle types roughly correspond to the tiers of the vehicles and their placement in the various Tech Trees.  For example, a Tier IV heavy tank can only get into battles with other Tier IV and Tier V tanks.
Beyond that every tank has a so-called “balance weight”, which is a hidden numerical parameter that determines the combat effectiveness of each vehicle. It is directly linked to the type of the vehicle, its tier and role (we have chosen) in the battle.
The work of the “MM” for "random battles" is based on the following principles:Any vehicle can get into fights that correspond to its tiers (see table), with the exception of platoons
The place that a vehicle receives in a team is assigned according to the “balance weight”
Vehicles are selected according to the battle statistics within the last half hour
The total “balance weight” of the opposed teams must not differ by more than 10%, except in special cases
The total “balance weight” of the SPGs in the opposed teams must not differ by more than 20% - a team can have only one more SPG and the total number of SPGs cannot be more than 5 The more times a specific vehicle is waiting to join a battle, the higher its priority. If you wait more than 1 minute, the “MM” will assign top priority and you will be sent into battle at the first open slot.
If, during the balancing process, both teams do not meet the requirements mentioned above, they will be disbanded and the whole process for team composition starts again.
The settings that are not taken into the account are:The nation of the vehicle
The researched and available modules (gun, turret, engine, etc …)
Mounted accessories and/or equipment
Crew skill level
Player skill The “MM” works with queues of vehicles. Each tier and type of battle has its own queue. There is 36 different queues in total (12 levels of tiers, multiplied by 3 different battle modes).
The battle statistics are collected separately for each queue. In addition to this, the statistics for SPGs are also collected separately.  We use this statistical data to decide on the balanced weight of every vehicle.
To understand it better, let’s take a concrete example: we have chosen an American heavy tank - T14 - characterised by the fact that it can get into battles of 5th and 6th tiers. To keep the example simple, "Encounter" and "Assault" have been deselected.
After pressing the “Battle“ button, the T14 enters two different queues at the last position in each:

So now our tank is in the queue and, as you can see, its priority to join the battle is low.  However the "MM" is scanning the entire queue during the selection process, and thus if there is an empty spot that more or less corresponds to the balance weight of the T14, it will immediately be sent into battle. Conversely, it might also need to wait. Every time a pair of teams is sent into battle, the team composition process starts over and over again.
SPGs are always the first vehicles to join a team. After that the "MM" will start looking for the tanks to fill the remaining empty spots. Vehicles with high balance weight (top vehicles) are added right after the SPGs.
When adding a platoon the "MM" will try to make sure that the balance weight of the tanks in the platoon equals the balance weight of the remaining free slots (where tanks with big balance weight still have top priority).
As mentioned above, the "MM" will make sure that the difference between the “balance weights” of both teams is not more than 10%.
The balance weight of the available slots can also be adjusted to the tanks that are currently waiting in the queues.
Once a pair of teams is created, the teams are checked for all the conditions mentioned in the "MM" criteria again, and are then sent to the battlefield. If the required criteria are not met, the teams will be disbanded and the match making process starts again  (where this process is not visible to players and happens entirely behind the scenes).
It may also happen that the "MM" is not able to complete the team creation process (for example: there are too many vehicles of the same type in one team). In such a case, the whole queue is frozen until tanks with other settings join it, or the already pre-selected tanks move into other queues.
On the picture you can see that T14 ended up in two different queues:A Tier V queue that is already completed
A Tier VI queue that is still in the completion process (too many KV-1S) All criteria for the Tier V queue are matched, so the T14 goes into a battle.

At this moment, the tank disappears from both queues. This means that the Tier VI queue has now an empty slot.
Please also note the following factors:The longer your waiting time, the higher priority there is from the "MM" to send you into battle
If the waiting time goes beyond an acceptable limit (1 minute), the selection criteria will not be fully respected (such as: not enough vehicles, or only the same types of vehicles present)
If the waiting time is more than 2 minutes, the "MM" has the ability to create a partially completed team (with less than 15 players on each side)
If the waiting time is more than 5 minutes, you will receive a message inviting yor to go back to the garage and select a different tank Some of the situations described above may appear during the launch of new servers, new regions or when the number of online players is low (such as during the middle of the night).
We are constantly working on the improvement of the game "MM" and some additional changes were added in Patch 0.8.5. Our goal remains to provide you with best game experience.
I hope that you have enjoyed reading this article and will leave the thread open to gather more questions that we may use to update this article in the future.
Please note that all non-constructive questions and comments will be deleted.
P.S The localisation of this article into other languages is currently in progress.

Choć część dopiero zgadła za drugim razem lub pomyliła model, to mimo wszystko byliście bliżej niż pozostali:
Panzerkampfwagen II (Fl)

Cmd_Latina: Oferta specjalna jest niespodzianką i zawsze może zdarzyć się sytuacja, że dopiero coś zakupiliśmy a tu przecena. Mimo wszystko wszystkim życzę dobrego weekendu i mam nadzieję, że każdy znajdzie w tej ofercie coś dla siebie!  

Cmd_Latina: Jasne, za chwilę kolejna zagadka.

Cmd_Latina: Są jeszcze miejsca, więc zapraszamy. Pamiętajcie serwer EU2.
@up wysłaliśmy Tobie zaproszenie, więc jeśli nie chciałeś brać udziału po co to zamieszanie na forum.

Aodheus: J'essaie d'obtenir plus d'informations à ce sujet, tout ce que je sais pour l'instant c'est qu'en rétablissant l'heure normale, il a fallu refaire une remise à zero qui a donc eu lieu hier soir.
Donc en effet, tu ne pourras pas profiter de la double expérience aujourd'hui, mais si tout va bien, cela sera rétabli demain matin.

Aodheus: Ça dépend du nombre d'équipes inscrites, mais les affrontements ayant lieu le 4 mai au soir, on peut espérer que ça sera fini avant le 5.  

Cmd_Latina: Myślę, że pół godziny na jedno pytanie jest wystarczające. O 15:00 pojawi się kolejne.
Jeśli ktoś chętny - proszę pisać w grze mamy wolne miejsca.

Aodheus: L'or peut mettre jusqu'à plusieurs heures à arriver, un peu de patience.
Ensuite je ne sais pas du tout d'où vient cette rumeur disant qu'on connait vos mots de passe ? Si tu as des doutes concernant notre politique de confidentialité, je t'invite à lire cette page, et à nous contacter si besoin.

Prawidłowa odpowiedź na pytanie: T-70.

Cmd_Latina: Chodzi nam o miejsca w Polsce.

Aodheus: Cela reste un des meilleurs moyens d'avoir au moins un semblant de coordination dans une équipe, d'autant plus qu'il est désormais possible pour tous de jouer en peloton à trois sans forcément avoir un compte premium.

Cmd_Latina: Czołgiści!

Czas na kolejną rundę pytań, które chcieliście zadać deweloperom, ale nigdy nie mieliście okazji. Nasz producent, _Quasar_,  będzie zbierać pytania zadawane we wszystkich wspieranych przez nas językach, wybierając najlepsze. Następnie porozmawia z deweloperami, aby poznać odpowiedzi.

Z poprzednimi pytaniami oraz odpowiedziami możecie zapoznać się w wątku na forum.


Proszę rzućcie okiem na wątek z odpowiedziami i jeśli macie jakieś pytania, które jeszcze nie padły – zadajcie je tutaj. Uwaga, ta sekcja forum przeznaczona jest dla graczy, którzy już mieli okazję zaznajomić się z World of Tanks i w związku trzeba mieć pewne minimum bitew, aby móc zadać pytanie.

Ten wątek będzie otwarty przez trzy dni, abyście mieli czas zadać pytania. Proszę, weźcie pod uwagę to, że niektóre pytania mogą wymagać dużo poważniejszych odpowiedzi albo po prostu nie możemy na nie odpowiedzieć w danej chwili.


Ten wątek będzie otwarty przez pewien czas, tym samym dając Wam weekend na zamieszczenie pytań.

Proszę, abyście przy zadawaniu pytań stosowali się do poniższych reguł:


1. Postarajcie się, by pytania były zwięzłe i na temat.
2. WAŻNA SPRAWA – tylko JEDNO pytanie na gracza. Proszę nie zadawać wielu pytań, ponieważ nie odpowiemy na nie. Pragniemy, by możliwie wielu graczy miało możliwość zadania pytań.
3. Unikajcie proszę pytań nie związanych z tematem lub nie na temat – w tym prób udzielania odpowiedzi na pytania, które już padły.
4. Ten wątek służy tylko i wyłącznie zadawaniu pytań, nie jest to miejsce do toczenia dyskusji, posty nie na temat będą usuwane dla zachowania klarowności wątku.

Jeśli nie znajdziecie odpowiedzi na Wasze pytania po tym, jak pojawią się odpowiedzi – nie martwcie się!  Bardzo możliwe, że odpowiedź zostanie udzielona przy następnej serii pytań i odpowiedzi, zwłaszcza, jeśli pytanie będzie popularne.

_Quasar_: The thread is open, please ask your questions!
Best!
_Quasar_

Cmd_Latina: W tym samym momencie, kiedy zaistniała ponownie ta niespodziewana sytuacja restartu przekazaliśmy informację do deweloperów. Na ten moment pracują oni nad wyjaśnieniem w czym tak naprawdę tkwi problem. Jeszcze raz serdecznie przepraszamy za wszelkie niedogodności. Sytuację monitorujemy i przekażemy Wam wszelkie informacje, które w tym temacie otrzymamy.

Aodheus: Oui, mais le changement qui a eu lieu n'est pas ce qui était prévu et annoncé.  

Cmd_Latina: Informacja na temat zaistniałej w ostatnim czasie ponownie sytuacji została natychmiast zgłoszona do deweloperów po stwierdzeniu przez nas problemu. Bardzo nam przykro z powodu całego zamieszania i niedogodności, jakie takowa sytuacja może dla Was sprawiać. Przekażemy Wam więcej informacji w tym temacie, jak tylko sprawa się wyjaśni.

Aodheus: C'est n'est pas voulu non, et nous pensions que le problème avait été réglé hier. Je n'ai pas d'informations sur la raison de ce changement, mais nous sommes au courant et un retour à la normale est prévu prochainement. Toutes nos excuses pour la gène que ça a pu occasionner à certains d'entre vous.
