Zapfhan:  Oder man hat auch andere Aufgaben als nur im Forum aktiv zu sein  

Sstyx: Nabídky jsou jsou různé, nebudou jen se slevou, ale i klasické. Nejedná se o bug či chybu. 

Sstyx: Díky za upozornění, ano, toto je chyba, předám.Nabídky by neměli být dražší než jsou dostupné ve hře či v prém. obchodě, takové nabídky poprosím nahlásit, děkuji.

Sstyx: Nabídky budou nejen se slevami, ale i klasické, které jsou dostupné. Věta, kterou cituješ pokračuje, bohužel nikde není řečeno, že půjde pouze o nabídky se slevou. K dostání budou i nabídky, které slevy neobsahují. Je dobré zvážit, co vás osloví a co ne a dle toho dále postupovat. 

Sstyx:

Delhroh: Claro, por supuesto, eso puede pasar. Un modo de juego que es ahora popular puede ir perdiendo popularidad, ir quemando al personal por cambios mal realizados y finalmente no volver a estar disponible por su falta de jugadores. Totalmente razonada tu respuesta. Un saludo.

HeatResistantBFG:  We do try to do that and clearly, we can do it better, but we do aim to do that. The surveys weren't down to us, that was if you participated then you should automatically get one, but we do go through ALL the feedback we can find on things like that, so if for some reason someone doesn't get a survey then both let us know that and let us know what you would have said. Gotta say your experience on EA forums is very different from mine But I haven't frequented them in a while so maybe things have changed. But I would point out that we do say thanks for feedback and "noted" and whatnot, that you're saying we need to do it shows that a, people often don't notice as it isn't always their feedback and b, maybe we can do it more. We are always here and saying the forums are neglected and ignored doesn't seem fair, especially knowing how many hours a week I put into reading comments, finding information, checking on info, sourcing what can be said and then providing it. What to you may be a reply with a few lines of text and therefore a few seconds/a minute of work may be the result on our end of anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 days of work. In terms of "only here for damage control", I think to some extent that perception (maybe reality to some extent) makes sense, if I am replying to every X comments where people are asking for something that needs a response, well when there is a "hot topic" there are more comments and so more replies. Whether the ratio is fair across all situations is one thing, but I would like to think it's relatively fair. That doesn't mean it can't be better! Stuff posted on fan blogs beforehand is often a leak, which ironically enough could change the outcome and delay the actual news, worth keeping that in mind. But I can understand why that would be a grievance and I can certainly pass it along. As I hope this demonstrates we are more than happy to take criticism and feedback, and we do and will try to act on it. We aren't soulless bots we are people who spend a lot of hours doing our best to cover the forums, reddit, Instagram, youtube, discord, facebook and anywhere else the game is talked about, and trying to make sure people don't feel neglected in any of them. So I am happy to put trust in your feedback and tell info where it can be told and find the info where it can be found, I hope you will show us the same trust otherwise no one gains.

Delhroh:  Hola, Hay que recordar que una cosa es la percepción que podemos tener construida en base a nuestra experiencia y otra muy diferente la realidad. Quiero decir, si Steel Hunter no fuera un modo popular, si no lo jugara nadie, pues no habría más Steel Hunter, y lo mismo con cualquier otro modo de juego futuro para World of Tanks. Lo comento porque a veces la percepción que tenemos de los hechos es puede no ser cierta. Por ejemplo: como XX jugadores españoles dicen en el foro que el modo cazador de acero es malo y no lo juegan no lo debe de jugar nadie.  Los desarrolladores no van a incluir algo que "no usa nadie", no sé si me explico. Con respecto a otros eventos, sin duda estos podrían regresar al juego eventualmente en el futuro. Sobre las encuestas estás se hacen, basadas en determinados valores y algunos jguadores las reciben, otros no. Además, tengamos en cuenta que se estudia el resultado de un evento en todas las regiones, no solo en el servidor EU.

Delhroh: Saludos, Si veis que algo no os encaja por favor reportarlo en este hilo para que pueda pasar nota. ¡Gracias por vuestra ayuda!

HeatResistantBFG:  People are of course entitled to opinions and discussions over them are often the best way to gain new information. I have on many occasions taken things I have heard said as counters to things I have said on the forums and provided it as feedback internally, that's how it works. If I was ignoring you then I wouldn't be here replying, surely? If my intent was to ignore and pay no intention to what you have to say why would I be here discussing things, or as you reference asking for feedback in the steel hunter so I can collect responses and provide it as feedback, not just "we don't like" yeah we understand some people want more, but to find out what the more is. "dismissed as a disgruntled minority" this at no point has been done. I have said that in this instance the deal doesn't work for some, but please tell me ones that work for you and hopefully there will always be a deal for everyone at some point. I have acknowledged it doesn't work for some, but to ignore that it works for others is the only dismissal being done here.  Whether you think your feedback is valued or not, I value it and I take it and spend a very large amount of my working and frankly none working hours gathering and compiling feedback to make sure as much gets heard as can.  I hope you enjoy any game you play, even more so if it is ours but would rather you enjoy a game than don't. Whether you choose to believe me or not is entirely up to you, but your feedback isn't ignored. We put a lot of effort into gathering it, but that doesn't mean all feedback will be enacted on and often even if it is people don't feel like it was done based on their feedback. Feel free to tell us what we can do to make you believe it, within the realms of possibility, and if we can we'll do it

HeatResistantBFG:  I also said I get things wrong and said there is plenty of evidence to suggest otherwise to what grasho said  But if your stance is "if anyone says I'm wrong they are clearly lying to cover that I'm not wrong" then there is literally no logical response that can be accepted. That is a written form of putting your fingers in your ears and making loud noises to not listen to someone because their logic goes against what you want to hear. I obviously can't share them but I have examples literally this week that go against that statement you made, to which I hope you will see the results in the future. Or simply anything like Crew 2.0 or any of the things that have come to sandbox/CT where players give feedback and we change it. Crew 2.0 got changes to approach confirmed just off the back of forum reactions for example. So nothing is ever so black and white and if you are willing to see things they are there, but that choice is yours. 

HeatResistantBFG:  So if I'm to understand, you said no one buys these and where is the proof, I offer proof, you say there is no proof and you know because you think X, I point out that X is just you, not everyone but that some deals won't be for you, please suggest some that are, and so you "rage quit" and say I am stubborn for not accepting that your opinion isn't that of the entire player base? That's... some impressive logic  If you ever fancy actually listening to information outside your sphere and offering feedback ("I don't like it, get good" isn't feedback) we'll be here as always

HeatResistantBFG:  You seem to be missing the point somewhat, my point is that you are applying what works for you to everyone. Would it be great if every week there was a deal you wanted, of course! But eventually, you'd reach a point of the deals not being of interest anyhow once you have "all the things you want". So pleasing just 1 "customer" is a terrible approach, especially if you forsake many hundreds of thousands for that 1. The ideal is that every so often there is something you like and you can enjoy and that everyone would be the same in that regard. That will always be the goal and it is unfortunate if you are finding that no deals work for you, and as much as I would be happy for your decision to be "which one to buy" rather than "I don't want any of these" it doesn't change that other people are buying things, whether you are or not and the weighting of actions clearly shows (to us) that people want these sort of deals. Your feedback on what YOU would like to see is still very welcome and we'd love to be able to put out deals that work for you  09:06 Added after 2 minute

HeatResistantBFG:  I can't talk for anyone else at WG but I for sure get things wrong

But having seen the internal process, "grasho" was very wrong and I think there is plenty of evidence even externally to see that. But sometimes people look for something until they find it, whether or not it's there 

Delhroh: ¿El precio eran 600.000 créditos, o el paquete incluía además 600K créditos?

parim1331: Witajcie Czołgiści! Niedługo do supertestu wyślemy kolejny pojazd z czechosłowackiej gałęzi: czołg ciężki TNH T Vz. 51 z poziomu IX.  Podobnie jak u pozostałych czechosłowackich czołgów ciężkich poziomów VIII-X, jego głównym atutem jest możliwość wyboru między dwoma działami: z dwupociskowym automatem lądującym lub bez niego. Oba działa są tego samego kalibru: 122 mm. Uszkodzenia na strzał wynoszą 390 PW; czas celowania 2,5 s; standardowe pociski przeciwpancerne przebijają 252 mm pancerza, a specjalne pociski APCR - 294 mm. Działo cykliczne posiada celność rzędu 0,36 i przeładowuje w 10,2 s. Automat ładujący posiada magazynek na dwa pociski z czasem ładowania pomiędzy pociskami wynoszącym 2,5 s, a na przeładowanie magazynku potrzebuje 20 s. Jego celność wynosi 0,38. Oba działa szczycą się 7-stopniowym opuszczeniem działa. Żywotność i mobilność są tu typowe dla czołgów średnich. Poza pulą 1900 PW, pochyły pancerz i ekrany na przedzie wieży pomogą Wam przetrwać nieprzyjacielski ostrzał. Pojazd osiąga prędkość maksymalną 50 km/h, jego moc na tonę wynosi 14,4 KM/t, a zasięg widzenia to 380 m. Podobnie jak jego „starszy brat”, TNH T Vz. 51 pozwala graczom wybierać między trybami ostrzału, które najbardziej im służą. Zarówno działo cykliczne jak i automat ładujący powinny być tak samo skuteczne. Jeśli mowa o pozostałych charakterystykach pojazdu, trudno wskazać tu jakieś konkretne wady. Ogólnie zbalansowane parametry pojazdu pozwalają temu czołgowi radzić sobie z rożnymi zadaniami bojowymi, od obrony pozycji po atak na bazę przeciwnika.

Actinid: N'hésitez pas à partager vos retours concernant ces offres !

Delhroh: Porque no sería tan atractivo si fueran permanentes, básicamente. No queremos que estos eventos se "quemen" y es por eso que solamente están disponible durante tiempo limitado, o al menos es mi humilde opinión persona al respecto . Como todos los eventos especiales de juego no está previsto que se hagan permamentes.

Sstyx: Ahoj.Ne, celkový seznam není k dispozici.

HeatResistantBFG:  Have already reported this   

HeatResistantBFG:  279e for real money sale would get some interesting reactions In terms of the deals I believe some are better than others and hopefully, you get some better suited to you over the rest of the days  

HeatResistantBFG:  Ah no worries   Can anyone who got an offer where the offer price was worse than the store price please screenshot both and send me them in a dm Thanks

HeatResistantBFG:  The 4 deals you get are specific to you in that you are randomly getting 4 deals that are applicable to you alone, but the pool of deals is shared. This doesn't mean there are only say 50 deals though, there are more than I can count and we've tried to make them as customised as possible to maximise people getting ones that work for them  

HeatResistantBFG:    There are many with discounts, unfortunately, you didn't get any this time but be sure to check every day  

HeatResistantBFG:  Glad there was at least 1 from your first 4! Hope there are more to come! 

HeatResistantBFG:  Which deals you get are random, so you aren't guaranteed a credit offer every time. If you have screenshots of the same offer at different values I'd appreciate it sent in DMs so I can report it

HeatResistantBFG:  Your proof is? What exactly? You are making the class mistake of "I don't like that thing and so no one does REEEEE", if people weren't buying these offers you say no one is buying then the company would have gone bust long ago and I'd not have a job. We do gather feedback, we spend a rather large amount of time doing so in fact but your idea of feedback seems to be you say jump we say how high, ignoring the rest of the entire playerbase. 

HeatResistantBFG:  Actually, there are moderators there and we can have comments deleted, as someone who literally was one of the people going through the comments for this purpose I can attest to this. People are welcome to not like the game, that goes for on steam or here, they just aren't welcome to do it in certain manners. As anywhere platforms have rules and guidelines, as long as people stick to them then there is no problem  If you have reported people with sufficient proof and the response on the ticket has been inadequate you can always message myself or Dwigt and ask us to review the ticket, CS does a great job but even with a 99% success rate, it would mean that 10 every thousand get missed  If you start running the game, paying its employees, developing it etc, I'm sure you'd have more of a position to request that exchange but as you don't then it's obviously an unreasonable demand and makes absolutely no valid point.. it's a strawman argument to attempt to make it seem like we are being unreasonable. If you have genuine and constructive things you would like to see added to the game to help free to play players we'd be happy to hear them and pass them along  And you can manage anything you like, I will treat your feedback as equally as anyone else's Why should your feedback matter more than any of the 1300 others? And to say you speak for them is very presumptuous, feel free to run a poll with exactly what you think stated and send me the results with all 1300 having voted and that shall be passed on as a show of their 1300 opinions (i have greek family so you don't even need to translate it), but otherwise I'd rather take their feedback than weight yours  So please tell us these fixes you would like, perhaps I can shed some light on them or pass them on 

HeatResistantBFG:
Yes, take a pen and paper and make a note every time it happens. 15-2 or even worse. It is much less than you think. Trick of the mind.  That's my experience of it, it does happen but nowhere near as often as people sometimes say. 

HeatResistantBFG:  
So let's have a quick breakdown of these things, I don't have any tinfoil but I think I can stay safe,

"A main purpose of the match maker is to allow players to pay for advantages:" -uhm, no... the mm doesn't take into account anything involving money... quite obviously.
"premium tanks" - Nope, a isu-130 has the same weighting as the isu-152 and as the 152k.
"zero skill crews" - I'm not even sure it's possible for the MM to track this, but also isn't really a paid advantage, it means less grinding to get a better crew but you still need to grind the crew... so it saves time but doesn't grant some sort of magic ability/win.
"premium ammo" - That thing for silver? And again, not even sure MM can track this could it certainly doesn't... quite obviously, players would have noticed this trend of "better mm" with having more prem loaded or something on quite quickly.
"food" - Same as above
"premium consumables" - Same as above
"directives" - Available for bonds and silver? And also not sure MM can track, but certainly doesn't.
"improved equipment" - the best of which are bond equipment, which can't be bought for gold/real money ANDDD again not sure if can be tracked but certainly isn't... The largest impact on the outcome of games is the ability of the players in that match, and as long as it's kept random it'll on average be fair.
 

HeatResistantBFG:  In any sort of PvP with larger numbers and health pools, things often have a habit of "steamrolling" because the advantage quickly stacks. You will see it the most in competitive where a game could have been super close but finished 7-1 (7 v 7 format), but "how is that close" you may ask, so I'll try explain.

let's take the 7v7 format (but it expands to 15 v 15 in random battles), you have say 4 fights going on, a 3 vs 3 in a central position, a 2 vs 2 in a flank with a contest high ground with cross shots and then two 1 vs 1 in other strategic positions.

even if by 1 health, if one of the 1 vs 1's wins, the other turns into a 2 vs 1 which will be instantly exploited due to the ability of the players behind it. Now suddenly that entire flank/strategic position is open and the 3 vs 3 becomes a 5 vs 3 with the 3 being shot from multiple angles. The best hope for the 3 is they did enough damage to the original opponents that they can push them and focus them down, so maybe doing this they kill 1 but it's now 5 guns shooting at them so they all go down. Well, it's not 6 vs 2 and that likely takes seconds. This can all happen in the course of seconds too, now you may say that "but this is in comp, with highly skilled players and doesn't apply to randoms", well it does, just perhaps not as strategically obviously and why often a good random battles player may not be a good competitive player and vice versa (although the ability to understand the method/tactics of one applies well to the other IMO).If you focus on a single fight, 3 players on banana road on himmelsdorf can hold a push and trap it there even against as many as 7. This means that there is a 4 extra player advantage on the rest of the battlefield, which all it takes is someone pushing or simply weight of numbers and suddenly that game quickly goes from 15 vs 15, to 15 vs 12, to 15 vs 9, to 15 vs those 7, as each small fight is won by the larger numbers. So this is why these big wins happen, but it would only take 1 heavy willing to push the 3 and suddenly that 3 vs 7 ends very quickly and the advantage goes the other way and equal pushes like that often happen in my experience, which is where you get the closer games We just tend to remember the big losses more in general, and so that's what sticks when we think back.

HeatResistantBFG:  

HeatResistantBFG:
It is indeed live now
 Here are mine!  
 What did you all get? (and yes I'm silver/gold poor I'm grinding a lot of stuff right now lol)

Dwigt: I suppose the blablablblabla is everything related to events, in-game news, game modes, upcoming content, patches and updates... Thank you for reminding us that we still have blablabla on our portal!  

Dwigt: Two separate things yet they are both related but I don't see why would you called them a cash grab? 

Dwigt: The bundles might not have any use for you but others might want to resupply on credits and gold for many reasons  

Dwigt: There's only place where you can find them   

Dwigt: As HeatResistant was saying, some people are interested in those bundles. I can easily see someone who is looking to grind new tech trees and training his crew going for a discounted bundle with some gold and prem days on the side.  

HeatResistantBFG:  At least 12 months More than likely longer! 

HeatResistantBFG: So, a genuine question to you all, what would people like to see as rewards for Steel Hunter that'd make you want to play it? Happy to pass on feedback, so please be serious and constructive

HeatResistantBFG:  Probably that some people like to buy stuff and like discounts. If someone wants to buy some combo credits, gold and prem time and get a discount then what's wrong with that? 

HeatResistantBFG:  Would you prefer we never sell anything with a discount? I feel like there would be more complaints about that 

HeatResistantBFG:  How exactly is that Pay to Win? 

HeatResistantBFG:  Feedback is feedback, whatever the flavour it comes in. And as I spend a fairly large portion of my working hours gathering it I can attest to that we indeed do read it, good or bad. 

HeatResistantBFG:  indeed 

HeatResistantBFG:  People are welcome to their criticism and many people can show frustration about something they enjoy but feel could be better, as long as they keep it civil and constructive  

HeatResistantBFG:  Well...     12:25 Added after 0 minute

HeatResistantBFG:  that would be a huge breach of data laws, simply put we wouldn't sell them if people didn't buy them. That is the proof.

thePhilX: Hey,all we fixed that in the rules, thanks for pointing it out. Every Bo5 will play played until one team reaches 3 wins.

Sstyx: K tomu prozatím nemám bližší informace, posádka se stále přepracovává. 

Jahpero:  Si tu peux faire un Pingplotter si tu rencontres des soucis à nouveau, ça permettrait d'y voir plus clair... De ce que j'ai pu voir c'était un des derniers nœuds de connexion au niveau de Francfort qui posait problème. Après tout dépend bien évidemment du "routing" utilisé par les fournisseurs internet pour rejoindre un serveur donné (les serveurs WOT dans le cas précis).  De plus, les nœuds/routeurs intermédiaires (ceux utilisés entre votre routeur et le serveur final) n'appartiennent en général pas à votre fournisseur internet. 

Delhroh: Bueno, nadie obliga a participar en el evento. A mi me parece una buena forma de olvidarse de las random de vez en cuando

Delhroh: Transmitirlas a los desarrolladores. Muchas han llegado al juego, como el carrusel, por ejemplo.  Un saludo

Sstyx: Pokud vím, toto nemáme v plánu prozatím.

Sstyx: Až bude co testovat s komunitou, tak se Sandbox otevře.

Delhroh: Saludos, Bueno procuremos no sacar las cosas de contexto ni faltar a nadie al respeto. Cada uno es libre de compartir su opinión, faltaría más. Ahora que algunos compañeros han explicado un poco más su postura la entiendo bastante mejor. Por lo tanto, se podría sugerir por ejemplo que los tanques con camflaje a-histórico salieran al poner el filtro con un camuflaje histórico para señalar que ese tanque está pintado, por ejemplo, cosa que no me parece mala idea (revisaré como está ahora mismo este filtro).  Sobre mis gustos, bueno, con los años me he convertido en un amante de WoT y de los juegos Arcade de blindados. No me gustan los simuladores, la verdad (eso de morir de un tiro no va conmigo), aunque entiendo que haya gente que le guste más que a otros. No me disgustan los estilos a-históricos (de hecho tengo alguno de mis favoritos en algunos de mis blindados más emblemáticos) y además eso también me ha permitido incluir un estilo incluso diseñado por mi en el juego, por lo que, aunque yo no esté por cualquier motivo, sé que mi granito en el WoT se ha quedado ahí, lo que me llena, en cierta forma, de orgullo.jSí, como amante de lo histórico pues no me importaría más contenido histórico... eso está claro.

Jahpero: Bonjour tout le monde,  Les seuls reports que nous avons eu sont en effet ceux de joueurs qui utilisent Orange comme fournisseur internet... Cordialement,Jahpero

Sstyx: Brzy budou bližší informace.

Delhroh: Mientras uno de su opinión respetando las normas del foro, nunca hay sanciones, te guste lo que comentes, o todo lo contrario, faltaría más.  Hombre, yo lo veo así. Si no te gusta el contenido no histórico, pues lo ocultas. Que problema hay. ¿Eso te chirría? No te entiendo. Lo que no sé que tiene que ver es "mis conocimientos históricos" con que Wargaming de a los jugadores la posibilidad de ocultar el contenido "no histórico", como los estilos 2D de Girls und Panzers.  Si va el blindado de color "fuxia" y tú no lo ves no le voy problema alguno, pero eso está el filtro histórico, que eres libres de utilizar o no. ¿Si un jugador utiliza determinados estilos va a ser mejor o peor jugador? No entiendo dicho razonamiento. Un saludo.

HeatResistantBFG: If you check here you will find that you can also do it via a ticket, which you can do here. 

My advice would be to not sell a premium tank though.

Sstyx: Pánové, toto je vlákno k aktualizaci 1.12.1, ne k tomu, abyste se zde hádali. Pokračujte prosím např. ve zpovědnici, ovšem zde to udžujte pouze a jen k tématu! Děkuji.

Delhroh: A disfrutarlo. Ya nos contarás que te parece. 

Delhroh: Frontline estará disponible a partir de la segunda mitad de este año.

Delhroh: ¡Y ya van dos! ¡Te quedan 3!

HeatResistantBFG:

I actually used this when coming back to PC (laptop) and setting up again So I can back this recommendation  Not that there is really much of anything by dez you can't recommend
