Delhroh: Saludos,   Creo que la Comunidad Española AÚN NO ES CONSCIENTE de lo que se ha logrado: CAMPEONATO ESL EN ESPAÑA.   Este es un proyecto en el que muchísima gente ha puesto ilusión, para poder entregar en un futuro (ojalá grandes cantidades de premios en metálico (ojalá para jugadores españoles, además de torneos y entregas de oro que podrían dar acceso a la WGL EU (Wargaming League) (Ojalá.   Este proyecto MORIRÁ SI NO CUENTA CON VUESTRO APOYO y os aseguro que se tardará muchísmo tiempo en conseguir algo parecido. Este es un paso de gigante, pero el gigante tiene que andar con vuestra ayuda, sin ella, pasará lo de siempre, que todo se derrumbará (ojalá que no).   Por eso OS RUEGO QUE COLABORÉIS EN ESTE EXTRAORDINARIO PROYECTO:   1) Con vuestra participación directa haciendo un equipo con un par de amigos.   2) Con vuestro apoyo a los directos de ESL España relacionados con World of Tanks.   3) Con la difusión de todas sus noticias en vuestro Facebook/Twitter/Clanes, etcétera.   ¡Vamos que esto se puede convertir en algo MUY GRANDE! O en nada, de vosotros depende.

Karlie:   Oh yeah, I hear you... But again, why is that bad? Are you saying that players that are playing long time and participate in all tournament on regular basis shouldn´t play this one? Well... why? Because the tournament is for them as same as any other tournaments we do. Once again, low tier tournament doesn´t mean beginners only. I recommend to focus on the word "tournament" = everyone can try, the best will win. If I could participate, I would, not to win, because I know I dont have a team of people (me included) that could win those but I would try - to get better and more experienced and maybe one day... So if it will be dominated by pro seal clubbers? Why it shouldn´t?

Delhroh: Saludos,   1) No habrá noticia oficial sobre el ascenso de J0HN_117, aunque le pediré que publiqué un post para despedirse de todos vosotros (le podréis encontrar ahora muy activo en el foro de World of Tanks Console Edition), dado que ahora es el especialista de dichojuego.   2) Por desgracia no acudirá a más quedadas de la Comunidad Española.   3) Los ascensos no están relacionados con la entrega de oro/Premios en los especiales.   Un cordial saludo

Rhaya: Bonjour,   Déplacé avec d'autres créatifs dans la section "Fan Art".   Rhaya 

W4RGAMER:   Seeeehr interessante Anregung, da bin ich direkt zum Lead gedackelt.  Ich habe leider nicht die Kapazität einen solchen Wettbewerb zu basteln, aber wir sind durchaus bereit einen solchen Wettbewerb zu promoten und zu unterstützen, wenn du da selber was aufziehen willst. Für nächstes Jahr ist das auf jeden Fall vermerkt. Eins kann ich dir sagen: wenn du als Panzer vorbeischaust, werden wir uns auf jeden Fall darüber freuen und ich trau mich wetten dein Panzerkostüm würde auf Portal, Flickr, Facebook, usw. verewigt.   

W4RGAMER:   Ja.  

W4RGAMER:   Geh mal davon aus, dass die Party dieses Jahr legendär wird.  Ein Artikel dazu kommt sehr bald. Haltet die Augen offen. 

Ectar:   I know it's crazy right? It's almost like when I said that I was replying to a different player.....

Ectar:   I've been told by my employers that we don't manipulate MM to "keep players at a certain level" which is the crux of this discussion and it's always a topic that comes up from players at 50%ish win ratios who feel they should be at 60 to 70%.  I have not seen first hand how the MM works and even if I did I'm not a developer or coder so I couldn't tell you what the MM system looks like.  I believe my employers who have no reason to lie to me.   You accuse me of "assuming" yet you provide utterly zero evidence to counter what is being said. "I can't prove it exists, therefor it does because you can't prove it doesn't".  That's some pretty crazy way of thinking. That's like me saying we're all manipulated by dinosaurs from outerspace who live in our brains. I can't prove it, but then you can't prove it otherwise so it must be right.  - "Ah but Ectar here is proof" - That's not proof, that's what the dinsosaurs from outerspace living in our brains want you to think. They're good at covering their tracks. I can literary ignore/deny/avoid any counter point you offer about the dinsosaurs from outerspace living in our brains, because I know it's true. Doesn't matter what anyone else says, I know better. - Sounds crazy right?  

Ectar:    I'm not being honest? Why? Simply because I'm saying a conspiracy theory holds no weight? Because I'm not agreeing with a totally made up reasoning to justify why someone is not as good as they think they are?   Lets look at reasons why someone isn't as good as something they think they should be. They don't put time into practice/training/drilling They refuse to admit they perhaps can't reach the level they are setting themselves Rather than accept responsibility for their actions, they would rather blame something made up and impossible to prove. Because it's made up, no one can offer realistic counter (and if they do, more made up stuff is created which can't be countered with the same reasoning).  

Ectar:   And where is the various aspects of the argument to show win ratio is manipulated?  A patent that's been logged? (companies have hundreds if not thousands of patents logged. That doesn't mean they're active). An individual player in the low 50's win ratio claiming he should really be 60% plus but the MM is holding him back?  how many educated people reading this thread are on the side of "Yes, MM is manipulated and it's manipulated only to me"?    

Ectar:   I've been posting here on the forums for over 3 years now. I've never lied once in that time and I never will. The minute someone asks me to knowingly lie to players, I'll refuse. If it's forced on me, I'll leave. You can search through my post history to see I make sure my answers are on point. I also have a fair amount of rep from the posts I do (not to mention the amount of posts I do). I'm pretty sure I have an impact on this community.    As I said before, angry and frustrated players are bad for business, especially in a free to play game because those players will just leave. The majority of our players will never spend a penny on our game, so keeping them playing is vital and you don't do that by having a system which which holds them at a randomly made up win ratio. (The random win ratio MM apparently is rigged to hold you at, will vary with every topic but is generally always around the win ratio of the opening poster making the claim).   The biggest problem with any "MM is rigged" conspiracies is that you always assume MM takes into consideration player skill, which it doesn't. Here is how it works.  Learn it, understand it, and stop blaming your performance on something made up and imaginary as you'll never ever improve with that way of thinking.

OldFox: Тема давно заброшена автором, как и игра. Не вижу смысла ее обслуживать кроме добавления новых кланов.

Ectar:   1. Obviously how? Because you feel you should have a better rating?  If we manipulate MM then how does it explain 40% players or players at 60% plus for win ratios? 2. No game in the world wants a bad community. Unhappy players = players not wanting to play the game.  3. Unhappy players don't spend money. When you're a free to play game that can't rely on initial sales that's a self destructive business model and your game will never make it to it's first anniversary.    

Ectar:   Wat?  

Ectar:  

Ectar:   Today is Saturday right?  Sometimes I forget even my own name..... Oh no not again!

Tanatoy: Bonjour,    Juste ici ! 

W4RGAMER:   Type ist hochgradig unwahrscheinlich (Klartext: wird nicht passieren) aber das SU-76i ist schlicht unmöglich. Das SU-76i war nicht im Ansatz gebalanced. Die Wanne eines Pz. III kombiniert mit einer Kanone die ungefähr so abgeht wie die des FCM 36 PaK40... keine schöne Kombination. Ich besitze das SU-76i zwar, das ist aber so OP, dass ich mich diesem Fahrzeug bis jetzt komplett verweigert habe (Ok, ich hab auch generell ne Abneigung gegen OP Fahrzeuge und fahre lieber, was in der Regel als UP eingestuft wird...). Ein paar Kollegen haben Anfangs SU-76i Züge gebildet und absurde Winratios eingefahren. ==> Die SU-76i wird, so wie sie jetzt ist, ganz sicher nicht mehr im Laden auftauchen.   

W4RGAMER:     Wer gibt sich denn bitte mit sowas zufrieden? Da ist ja sogar...    ...mein Zweitwagen beleidigt:     ...   Sry wegen dem Schreibfehler. Der wurde recht schnell an uns weitergeleitet, weitergegeben und dann auch korrigiert, aber ich hab leider verpasst, dazu noch etwas in diesen Thread zu schreiben. Wurde hier ja schon richtig beobachtet, dass der mit der Veränderung des Paketes zustande gekommen war.   @all: Danke für viel Feedback zum KV-220 und zum Paket!  Wir sind noch darn, ihr könnt also gerne noch Feedback nachreichen, wenn ihr z.B. ein paar mehr KV-220 als Gegner trefft und diese besser einschätzen könnt.   

Ectar: Hello Commanders, The World of Tanks servers will be unavailable on 23/07/2015 from 04:00 UTC (0600 CEST) due to this update. We expect the downtime to be roughly 45 mins.This micropatch will be a small bug fix patch that also addresses some client crash issues brought with 9.0 and freezes in Steel Hunt battles related to Logitech keyboards. Regards

Rhaya: Bonjour,   Effectivement Mittengard est une carte particulière dans l'esprit "Arène" pour les premiers rangs de chars. Les informations concernant cette cartes sont disponibles ici : http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Mittengard   Elle est très drôle à faire et prendre un char de faible rang juste pour s'amuser dessus est une bonne idée lorsqu'on a eu plusieurs défaites à la suite.   Rhaya   

Ectar:   It will be forgotten as quick as tomorrow    

Ectar:   You lost me here as soon as you started using the nationality of someone as leverage in getting a point across. Across Wargaming as a whole we have people from all nations at a variety of levels. The company started out based in Belorussia however we're now a global brand with staff members all across the world. Decisions don't get made without input from our various departments world wide and especially from the publishing side of things, a large portion of the staff is European.   The sense of entitlement is not limited to World of Tanks, it's something that's sadly relevant on every and any game with a progression based system or unlockable system. So many players now expect to be able to say that they don't have time to play and therefor the entire game system should be adapted to fit them. If we change our progression system to make it quicker and easier for one person, why not all? Why even have a progression or unlockable system in the first place? Lets be honest, if you ask anyone "Would you like this stuff quicker and for less effort?" everyone is going to say yes.   Some games are a time sink, others you can pick up and play and be done with after only a few hours.  Each game doesn't try to cater to all audiences and when they do, the very core of the game falls apart.

MrDonnie: La idea es que corrija todos los problemas surgidos en el último parche.  

MrDonnie: Comunico vuestras sugerencias, esperemos poder haceros felices pronto. 

Sehales:   Frage doch einfach einen Freund/Bekannten mit einem FB Account, ob er/sie es für dich einsendet.

Tanatoy: Demain 23 juillet entre 6h00 et 6h45 du matin, un patch sera déployé pour corriger certains des soucis (crash du client dans certains cas, et gel de l'écran lors des batailles traque d'acier entre autres) dont souffre la 9.9. 

Azkolek: Bonjour à tous !

Merci à tous les joueurs (et joueuses !) qui sont venus nous rendre visite au village militaire, c'était pour ma part un plaisir d'y croiser des têtes familières comme des nouvelles, et j'espère que tout le monde y a trouvé son compte !

Les photos viennent d'être envoyées sur Flickr, n'hésitez pas à partager les votres
Petit rappel pour ceux qui ont participé au concours de Tchoumi & Wikhot (et dans une moindre mesure veget) : Wikhot  Q : Citer au moins 6 contributeurs  R : La liste des contributeurs est depuis toujours consultable sur le site, espace "Communauté" ! Même s'ils ne sont pas tous dessus, il était facile de sortir 3 noms (3 étant déjà donnés via l'écran à l'entrée du stand) !   Tchoumi Q : Quel est le prix en gold des munitions premium sur la FV304 R : 7 pièces d'or !   La question de veget, s'il avait pu rester plus longtemps, était des plus simples : où se trouve le QG des développeurs de World of Tanks (Minsk bien sûr) ?   Sur les 39 bulletins de réponse rendus, 27 avaient bon aux 2 questions ! 
Une main innocente a tiré 4 bulletins, les gagnants ont été contactés par message privé. Que les autres se rassurent, ce ne sont pas les concours -en ligne ou en vrai- qui manqueront d'ici le prochain Carrousel, où on compte bien vous proposer encore plus de bonnes choses

Merci encore à tous pour votre enthousiasme, on espère vous retrouver encore plus nombreux l'an prochain ! D'ici là, il y aura bien sûr d'autres occasions de venir nous rencontrer...suivez le portail pour être sûrs de ne pas passer à côté des annonces !    Edit: fichtre Thurim, même pas le temps de finir mon message !

Tanatoy: Merci de rester correct dans vos échanges sur le forum. 

Ectar:   Would these be the same damage panel mods that have players accusing my Centurion 7/1 and Fv4202 of "spamming APCR" and being a "gold noob" ? 

Ketankis:   Ano, oznámil to dost narychlo, aniž bychom měli náhradu, ale o selhání se tu rozhodně mluvit nedá Wysch odešel z osobně-rodinných důvodů, jeho zaměstnavatel mu jen vyšel vstříc. Držet ho tady násilím nemůžeme 

Decept1on: See the small lock on the Province statuses? You got attacked by bombers (Airstrike): http://worldoftanks....e/headquarters/

MrDonnie: Ya tenemos un parche casi listo. En cuanto esté disponible, os lo comunicaremos. 

Ketankis:   Doporučuji nedůvěřovat nepodloženým informacím z blogů. Jednalo se o neověřené informace, nikdo vyhozen nebyl, odešli akorát dva komuniťáci z anglického týmu 

Ishtara:   Evet liste ne yazık ki kapandı, mekan kapasitesine göre ayarladık listeleri, kimseyi geri çevirmek istemeyiz ama kayıtsız katılımcı kabul edemiyoruz, tüm etkinliklerimiz bu sistemle işliyor  Yanımızda getirdiğimiz her şeyi, rezervasyonumuzu sadece katılımcı sayısına göre yapıyoruz. Kusura bakmayın lütfen..

Ectar:   Greed:  Wikipedia will have you believe this is the inordinate desire to posses wealth, good or objects or abstract value with the intention to keep it for one's self, far beyond the dictates of basic survival and comfort. It is applied to a markedly high desire for and pursuit of wealth, status, and power.   What exactly is wealth in this game? It's an abundance of credits, gold or vehicles. Status? Well that's easy. It's having a high win ratio or Wn8 ratio. That's how you separate yourself from the other players Power? That's not as easy to determin with a player. It would come with influence really and an individual player doesn't have much power/influence. Power could arguably be simply having awesome stats.   How do you get all 3 (or at least 2) - You need to be good at the game. If you play well the credits roll in and you can get new tanks, build up reserves of gold/credits and will have respectable stats as you improve your game.  There is no other trick method to having high stats. Everything that any good player has used to get then where they are, is available to you also.    Greed is not just a corporate issue. It's also a massive player driven mentality. It's something that's especially become more relevant over the past 10 years with MMORPG games and 24 hour customer support for those games. Player responsibility and accountability has gone out the window for a horrendous sense of entitlement as players expect that everything they do in-game should be reversible, or content should be available for minimum effort. Players see someone else with something and the want it. More often than not without putting in the same effort the original owner did.    If you want anything in life, you have to work for it. I'll tell you the biggest most relivant piece of information you'll ever hear. - Life is unfair and it doesn't owe you anything. Nothing has to be equal, there is no universal law of balance. Throughout life many people will always try their best to balance things for the sake of others. and others will sacrifice what they have for the sake of others.  That won't always happen however. When you play any game, the system doesn't have it in for you.  There is no unique settings that make you and only you perform bad.  Games work based on skill, a little luck and in most cases a good bit of RNG. RNG you'll never be able to influence nor will the game developer be able to influence:   Your team mates will always be random unless you're in a game with group play. Even then, the skill level of your team mates will always be random. They'll miss shots, they'll hit shots, they'll do things you don't expect.   The one thing, the very one thing you'll ever be able to control is YOU.  If you want to improve, if you want to get better at this game or any game, you need to work at it.  You need to look at how you play and you need to look at how you can improve it.   Examples: Do you rush ahead all the time? Do you spend too long on stock tanks? Are you missing important shots? Is your mouse sensitivity to high/low Are your graphics settings too low Are you listening to music/watching movies and not being fully focused on the battle. Are you shooting at weakspots? Are you really trying to shoot at weakspots? Is your vehicle in the expected area for the map?  (For example never take a slow tanks into the Lakeville Valley) Frustrated playing solo and feeling "up against it"?  Have you tried platooning with team mates at your skill level? (It's a team game at the end of the day and is more fun with friends) Friends don't play World of Tanks? MAKE NEW FRIENDS - We have the forumites in-game chat channel with people sitting waiting to play with. Some of the most helpful and friendly players can be found there every day   If every time you have a bad run of matches, you look to blame something totally impossible to prove, it just shows you can't accept you're the reason you did bad. It also shows you can't accept that maybe, just maybe the people you were up against were better than you.   - I speak from experience here, I rage hardcore when things go against me in any game.  What I've learned though over the past years is to look at how I lost, and how I can stop that from happening again. Everytime I've put serious time into learning a game and trying to improve how I play it, I got better.  I accepted I have control over changing me and I accepted I can't change others.   The power to improve is within everyone as a player. The biggest problem you'll ever have is deciding that you want to change.  

Wysch:   Jistě po ní prahneme, ale prahne nás méně než Rusů.  

Wysch:   Ano.

Tanatoy: Sujet fermé. Le E-25 se porte très bien, et si jamais il doit subir une dégradation de ses performances, cela sera décidé par les développeurs sur la base des statistiques recueillis en jeu. 

Decept1on: Thanks everyone for their feedback they posted here, I passed everything to the devs. One more thing I'd like to add, there will be an additional Prime Time at 19:00 UTC for release.   If you have any additional feedback, and any suggestion (I mean anything really, technically we could even do a battle with ammunition not allowed ) please post it here.   Thanks again!   Decept1on

Decept1on: Hello,   About technical issues, it is known and devs are working on optimization of the map, and with more zoom options.   General mechanics  1) As far as I know there are no plans to bring back encounter battles. I'll pass your feedback nonetheless. I think they removed it in order to reduce the battle spread, as in having battles for hours before actually battling the province. 2) Agreed, a 19:00 UTC Prime Time has been requested to be added for release, especially for players in UTC time zone (UK, Portugal, etc.) 3) No plans to bring back ransack feature, though some other modules acting in the same manner are not excluded (feedback passed). 4) That would be a nice module for a division, feedback passed also.   Adjustment of numbers/mechanics 1) Feedback passed. 2) I passed some of the feedback but not all, for example the module to decrease the upkeep would only encourage camping. I agree though that with a larger choice, it would decrease the combat consumables usage. 3) a) It would also encourage camping. b) Same as above. c) Agreed, feedback passed. Altough it currently has no real effect, as in it doesn't change the battle schedule. d) Also encouraging camping indirectly in my opinion. What's the point of having provinces if you do not (want to) defend them. 4) While a I agree this is a nice system, it looks very complicated to set up in place, leaving a lot of room for technical errors and I think not many players would understand why their tank got locked for 57 hours 12 minutes and 39 seconds exactly (as example).   I forward most of your feedback while disagreeing on some points, if you think I am wrong please give me more details so I could understand it better (maybe I just got it wrong )   Anyway, thanks a lot for your input and effort to express all your thoughts into text. if you have any more feedback and/or suggestions, feel free to post them I'll check them.   Thanks again!   Decept1on

Ectar:   From here  

Ectar:   People always have selective reading when it comes to my comments. It's nothing new    

Ectar:   It's something we're keen to try to allow players to "test drive" certain premium vehicles before making a choice to buy one.  

Ectar:   We're not going to offer the FV201 via a rental system.

Tanatoy: Parce que je respecte ce que je vous dis ici ! Ne répondez pas aux provocations !  Content que vous ayez passer un bon moment à Saumur, car cela a été le cas pour nous aussi ! Hésitez pas à partager plus de photos si vous en avez ! 

PanzerGert:   Was sie da so erschrocken hat? Eine Maus! 

Tanatoy: Un grand merci à tous d'être venu au Carrousel, vous avez tous l'air heureux sur son déroulement, il semble donc que l'on peut appeler ça un succès !    Les photos seront mises sur notre album Flickr  sous peu, ainsi que les résultats du concours des contributeurs seront publiés aussi dans la semaine.   Pour ma prétendue pilosité faciale, je ne vois pas du tout de quoi vous parlez.... voilà une photo datant d'aujourd'hui :         Et à tous les membres de l'Armée de Terre qui sont venus nous voir nombreux, et qu'à chaque fois nous (re)voyons avec plaisir, ainsi que pour vous qui avez pu assister au Carrousel, un peu de plaisir en vidéo :   Merci encore à tous d'être venus Comme vous pour nous, cela fait vraiment plaisir de mettre des visages sur des pseudos, ainsi que de voir une partie de la communauté francophone rassemblée au même endroit ! 

Delhroh: Mi consejo es que sencillamente no os preocupéis por "ganar" sino disfrutar por participar.    

Ectar:   You had tier X heavies.  There wasn't any tier X TD's or Mediums then.  

Ectar:   E-25 may be available as contest prizes. The PzIIJ and BT-SV were part of retail packages and due to that, can't be offered for less that the original package price. M6A2E1, A-32 and Pz.Kpfw V/IV are pre order vehicles. If you didn't pre order then you can't get them. Not now, not ever. We sold them in the past and it caused a huge uproar and now they're locked out for good. For those tanks specifically it was stated they wouldn't be available again.  - When it comes to the pre order vehicles for Warships and Warplanes they came with 1 year embargo's only which was made clear when they were available to pre order.  

Ectar:   You say it clearly outclasses most same tier mediums, yet others in this thread say it's nothing special and has been subject to stealth nerfs.  Who is right?  It's almost like people on the forums can never agree on anything. Heck I'm sure it won't be long enough before people disagree about the colour of snow.

Ectar: I'm curious, what's an example of a non corridor map?  This may seem like a silly question but humour me here.
