they too will earn players lots of extra credits and cost relative
amounts of gold depending on how many credits and experience they
earn you?
I dont want a lowe, I play artillery and love it (got a GW Panther) but I'm already coming out of battles not earning anything so Can I wait till the new premium tanks come out to get a money making machine? What sort of money will I make in premium Arty compared to a Lowe and what will the price difference be?

decrease the Lowe?
ArtVandelay, on 07 July 2011 - 03:01 AM, said: And instead of apology to us who own KV5 and balancing it so its
not sub-par any more... What do you do? Increase price of
Lowe?????
By your ignoring this legitimate issue I get a feeling that ramifications of this decision is not thinked properly and you don't have ready answer.
This is someones wimp, like new voices, gun depression on US tanks....
Unprofessional and unfair.
WHY is my money less worth than money of Lowe owner?
I really think I deserve an answer.

Vallter: If they will earn same XP and credits as Lowe, plus also have
almost same in-game characteristics, yes, they will cost the same.
All other prices will be based on many parameters.
ElectroSoldier, on 07 July 2011 - 02:27 AM, said: You can increase the payout on the M6 premium tank, but not

characteristics only if there are any major issues with them.

Vallter: They were stated as tanks with similar characteristics and not the
same tanks. After receiving statistics from thousands of battles
performed with Lowe and KV-5, the first seemed to make more
experience and credits. Also it has slightly better win ratio. We
just brought the price for Lowe on the right level, which is based
on comparison with other Premium vehicles, including Lowe.
But KV-5 works as intended. That is why it has not received any changes. Again, refunding all KV-5 drivers is technically difficult.

remember, they were not welcomed by the majority of the community.
After receiving lots of complaints and, most important, calm
feedback we decided to roll them back with the hotfix. In the
topics, regarding this theme, we shortlisted lots of well-thought
suggestions, which will be implemented. For example, players will
be able to select between the international voices (voices of your
language pack) or national voices (German tankers will speak
German, Russian complain in the language of their Motherland etc.).
Community gave us very good feedback/ideas and we have listened to
you.
In the next patch we will implement the free pair-platoons. According to the development plan of the game, it was not even considered possible before. But after receiving lots of requests along with well-thought posts with argumentative pros-cons position of this change, we decided "Hey, let's listen to our users and do it".
The major issues, that seem like 'not addressed'.... We know about them and we are searching solutions. But major issues also require major fixes, which are difficult to find and need time to be developed. Again, we are grateful to the players, who send detailed reports to our Customer Support and quicken the development process.
I personally mentioned in this topic, if you have any better suggestions for going out of this situation, you are welcome to post them here. We are constantly reading the topic and know, what you are writing. Unfortunately, all posts for now contain either mainly complaints and solutions, which can't be implemented due to this or that reason. But we are always open to suggestions.

and will be released this autumn. Probably, we will post some

Overlord: "Turbo" will provide extra HP (better mobility), but not max
speed.
The gun selection has been decided on yet, don't want to spread info that can turn out to be false.

So it is much easier and safer (in terms of refunds and complaints from existing paying customers) to take decision as it has been done now.
I don't know the properties of KV-5 and perhaps the owners of this tank are group of people who are hurt with this decision most, but lot of people who come here and complain do not own one which puzzles me a bit.

people, who've started this flame war, than looking forward for the
ability to make a pair-platoon with standard account. This is

Wriothesley, on 05 July 2011 - 02:38 PM, said: I have question:
A lot of your development effort is going into:
- new tanks
- new game physics engine
- new voices
But what are players complaining the most are: no new game mode - only hight end tanks have companies and CW, all <8-9 tanks and TD have just random battles. Why don;t you stop a bit with things, which players don;t are so urge now, and expand the game in directions of better gameplay, not just next tanks to grind.
There are many ideas how to create new modes: history battles, tiered companies etc., but what we see are only new tanks to grind and few more maps (which probably have same chance to be played, so with every patch we will still see only old maps mostly (since last patch I played in random battles on Redshire TWO times and I think on Arctic (why not Mannerheim btw) I think THREE times! All other games - old maps).
Also many player are giving you screens with failed balance (when few tanks are higher level in one team). Example attached. And still nothing is done to fix this.
Why are you focussing on adding new staff, when old one is not yet finished, and is becoming boring and very repetitive?

Overlord: We are focusing on several things at once:
- new content (tanks, maps, camos, new crew skills)
- new physics
- new game modes
- better overall game performance
- match-making (new)
And your list above wasn't actually correct.
Btw, don't see anything awful on the screenshot attached.

however, reduces the profit and thus isn't a viable solution for

Vallter: If we refund KV-5 drivers, the Lowe drivers will be offended.
Because for many of them 7 500 Gold for a tank is a tough purchase
and probably they would prefer cheaper KV-5 tank.

Lowe is an optional tank, which is not required for game progress.

Vallter: We decided not to change in-game characteristics of Premium tanks.
They were purchased with real money and change in their
specializations won't be right from our part. If we will nerf Lowe
tank, many of our users will have different tank to one they have
purchased. If we buff KV-5, we will offend tankers, who bought
Lowe. Because probably with new characteristics they would prefer
to nuy the Soviet brother.
Change in Premium tanks characteristics is possible only on case of major issues in their battle performance. For example, we have fixed M6A2E1 hit box.

So above described situation won't be punished.
Also we know about the issue with ramming. We are working on it's solution.
UPD.
Please, read carefully whole topic, before making conclusions. The XP and credit fine remained the same, but the TK'er gets now banned two times faster.

have friendly fire in a game, and then punishes players quite
harshly when they do team damage.
Also, I won't be trusting any voting system, because in a TK incident a lot of team members don't know what exactly happened. I once had a situation in closed beta. I was driving full speed with my BT-7, when I saw a teammate in a BT-7 coming straight at me. I turned to one side, and he turned to the same side. We crashed onto eachother, and aboth died, but I got the -1. Although it was just a stupid accident I wanted to apologise, but before I could start writing the guy was calling me an "idiot" and other things... then there came the comments from other teammates "Round of aplause for the team killer", while they didn't know anything about what happened.
When being banned or not will start to depend on (bad) luck more and more, I don't know if I will still be investing money in this game.
Besides, in over 1500 battles I've only seen a clear case of deliberate team killing only once or twice.

Vallter: You won't receive ban for accident team killing. But yes, you will
pay a fine to a person you killed. Because he will want justice as
well. When we will develop the 'forgive' system, the killed person
will be able to decide, whether take money from you or not.
