MA77: A WG não está pensando em fechar o servidor LATAM, fiquem calmos.

Estamos trabalhando atualmente em soluções que certamente o público no geral irá gostar. Sabemos que o principal motivo da "migração" dos jogadores é o tempo de espera na fila e já temos projetos para não só evitar esta migração como também para solucionar o tempo na fila.   Em Novembro - caso o mundo não exploda até lá - teremos novidades para os sul-americanos.

MA77: O veículo mais "novo" do jogo é a UDES 03, de 1972.

Não me recordo de outro mais novo que este atualmente.

MA77: A galera já explicou bem como funcionará o Desafio.

Em caso de dúvidas, só chamar!

TeriyakiTanker:   considering you are one of those bad players I am not sure why you even bring it up......  Other than that I have no problem with your position.  But really if you cant even win half your games stop touting your stats like you actually do anything in an average game.

Jambijon: The original post has been updated and some things have changed.  Here are the highlights: Today's tournament was pushed back till next week Staging breaks have been increased to 4 minutes to give more time for players between stages 9/15 - 5v5: Multi-Tier total vehicle team tier was increased to 39 from 35 to increase more dynamic tier choices 9/16 - Mexican Independence tournament was altered to be a 3v3 round robin, Attack/Defense on Prov with 2 battles each to give equal opportunity for attacking and defending.  Will be held on both the NA and LATAM servers.  These tournaments are separate from each other.

KRZYBooP:   In the post the first shot against the Medium tank bounces and only does damage when hitting the weak point of any tank.    There is no additional changes announced for Artillery or Heavies in regards to the new wheeled vehicles.  They share a lot of the same characteristics of Light Tanks so if they are holding still prioritize them if you want as Arty, and if they are far enough away and spotted aim for them as a Heavy.    Tactics where you swarm an enemy tank are fun, but they also come with a great amount risk since Tanks are rarely alone without their team around them taking shots. 

Jambijon: Apologies everyone, it seems like we had an issue with the Sunday tournament which set us back a bit with the future tournaments.  My vacation didn't help as well, but now that I am back I'll be working on getting this weekends tournaments open for registration today and we'll push the Wednesday tournament to next week.  Also some updates on the compensation that was provided (will be provided) for the recent tournament issues.   For the Prototyp 50TP, we have prized out the standings as they stood, however if you encountered the bug where you couldn't progress you were bumped up to the next reward.  Ex: If you were in 2nd place when the bug occurred, you were given the first place prize.  In addition to that, everyone in the tournament was given 10 boosters (x5 50% credit 1hr / x5 100% tank XP 1hr).  These payouts have been sent so you should already have them in your Garage.   For Sundays tournament that was pretty much nonexistent, we will be splitting up the Gold pot evenly between all confirmed players. Once everything is finalized, we will be sending out 975 Gold to everyone that was confirmed for Sunday.  The payout should take about 1-3 days to fulfill.   Again, we apologize the tournament errors and the lack of immediate attention and notice.

DomoSapien: Tankers, I have a few updates for you regarding recent tournaments. First off, a huuuuge thank you to everyone for all their patience and understanding. We know it has been a rough month for tournaments, and we're extremely thankful for your support. Regarding this week's tournaments: We're aware that tournaments for this week haven't been posted yet. This is in light of the recent tournament failures, we are taking extra time to re-examine this week's tournaments and make sure we can set them up sufficiently to a state that we are confident will run without any major issues. We are tentatively confident that we should be able to get them posted tonight and registration opened up by tomorrow, but will update if this is not the case. Regarding Sunday's 2v2 tournament: We have just received approval for compensation - Instead of rescheduling the tournament to run next week, we're going to take the entire prize pool for all battle groups, divide it by the total number of confirmed players, and distribute it equally to everyone. According to my math it will be 975 Gold per player. There will be some boosters going out with that compensation as well, however I am not yet certain about which boosters those will be. Due to the way the tournament failed, it will take us a bit of extra time to get that prizing out because the list of players will need to be gathered manually. Expect this to go out next week. Regarding the 1v1 50TP Tournament: Prizing has gone out - If your team was locked from continuing with your next battles, and had the potential to place higher, you were bumped up 1 position in the bracket and paid out accordingly. If your next battle was for second place, you automatically received the 2nd place prize. These were paid out manually so there is definitely room for some human error. If you have any concerns regarding a missing payout for this tournament, please send me and jambijon a PM with "Missing payout - 1v1 50TP" in the subject line. If Spanish is your preferred language please PM Felipe6666Original, for Portuguese please PM MA77.
Regarding some extra Gold (500-1500) that you may have noticed in your account: If you participated in the 9/01 tournament, there was an issue with prizing that resulted in some missing Gold and Boosters. I manually corrected that payout this week, hence the extra goods. Regarding Friday's NA Server Brazilian Independence tournament: There were a few tournament groups that experienced an issue with the last battle of the tournament not being counted towards Round Robin results. I am manually correcting this payout however this is also a labor-intensive process as it involves editing quite a few spreadsheets. If your team benefited from this error, you will not have prizing removed from your accounts. Teams who would have placed if not for the error will be bumped up into the position where they would have placed if the battle was counted.  I'd like to apologize to everyone inconvenienced by the recent errors, in particular players who were excited to participate in last Sunday's tournament. I have been extremely busy helping facilitate the Season 9 Clan Playoff, and have been dealing with some personal emergencies in my family - unfortunately this resulted in a gap in coverage on Sunday, and I wasn't able to get messaging or a fix out in time for the tournament to continue. 
Regarding our plans moving forward: In the coming weeks, we will be sharing a set of Contingency plans and Compensation Plans in the interest of increasing transparency and accountability among the tournaments team. We will be providing examples of certain situations, and what kind of compensation or response our community can expect in different situations. That way there aren't quite so many unpleasant surprises.
I am also working on potentially getting some type of hotline set-up on Discord for our tournaments community, where one of us can be reached on tournament days.
On personal note: I will be on leave starting tomorrow, 9/13 and will be available for inquiries on weds, 9/19.  
 

KRZYBooP:   Sadly there is no additional information at this time on how these vehicles will impact the game.    As far as Arty players are concerned, speaking as a player that loves to play the french tier V lef. Arty has many advantages.   You only have to move five feet behind cover. You save a lot of credits when playing.  You don't have to risk anything to take a shot at the enemy.  You are behind a hill at base with a pretty solid camo rating.  When you stun an enemy you get bonus xp for everyone that shoots them so you only have to focus on tracking.  If an enemy light tank makes it too you the battle is probably not going so well for your team...   The Wheeled vehicles aren't going 100K all the time, and their only defense is speed and resistance to being "tired"(Tracked).    One thing that you can be sure of is that you will be able to test them out yourself both as or against light tanks if/when they come to the Common Test (Soon ™).   

Gnomon:   ​Heya! They are not daily stage missions. You just progress through the missions when you complete them, much like the Italian Challenge. 

MeatheadMilitia:   I never said I was anti Tier VIII Premium American TD...for the record, we do need one of those. 

But I'd absolutely love and welcome an American Tier VIII SPG for the T92 Line. 

I mean, my math could be way off here, but I'm pretty sure there are only 2 Premium arty in the game. 

MeatheadMilitia:   Oh, I wasn't aware I'm not allowed to want things in the game too.   Sad panda 

Gnomon: Happy Wednesday, everyone!  I know you've been looking for some more information on the British Challenge, and we recently released our content article that details the event: Take the British Challenge! Be sure to check out the article, because it has some fancy widgets that show you the CAX and its stats.   Event Starts: September 14, 07:00 PT | 09:00 CT | 10:00 ET
Event Ends: September 28, 07:00 PT | 09:00 CT | 10:00 ET  The Brits are receiving reinforcements with a whole new beast. Bolstering the U.K. line is a new Tier VIII Premium heavy tank, the Caernarvon Action X, and it’s the grand prize for the British Challenge, adorned in a unique camo especially for the event. The British Challenge is fairly similar to the Italian Challenge, where players could earn the autoreloading Progetto M35 mod 46. This time around, we heard your feedback and made the Challenge a bit more simple, but it still packs a punch.  The CAX has decent armor but it’s not enough to play from the front. Its gun really focuses on DPM, even though it’s average damage per shot is 230. While low for a Tier VIII heavy, the gun boasts great accuracy and combines with good depression to compensate. Just remember to play slightly behind the front line and use the terrain to cover your hull! Plus the Caernarvon Action X is a perfect Crew trainer for those looking to take command of the Super Conquerer at Tier X! So, how does it work? Check out the spoiler for more info: How it WorksMuch like the Italian Challenge, the CAX Challenge involves completing 10 consecutive stages. Like in the IC, there are two ways to earn rewards. Endurance Race: Built around the amount of base XP points you earn, this approach encourages those who succeed by sheer persistence. Each stage requires you to gain a certain amount of base XP, rolling out in Tier VI and higher vehicles. Just remember: your results only counts if you are one of the top 10 XP earners on your team at the end of a battle — no matter whether your team wins or loses.Ramp up the challenge: You can opt for alternative, far more complex tasks, while being limited to Tier X machines. Fulfilling these objectives will save you time, but you’ll have to give it your all. Missions and Rewards Stage 1Mission for Commitment (Tier VI-X):Earn 3,000 Base XP (only XP for being one of the top 10 XP earners on your team is counted)>Mission for Mastery (Tier X only):Obtain the High Caliber award one (1) timeREWARDS:

Oh, and I would like to mention the Fast Track. If you find you’re running out of time to complete the missions, the tank will be available in the Premium Shop and you will be discounted 10% for each stage you’ve already completed. So, for example, completing 7 out of 10 stages will knock 70% off the price. IMPORTANT: Purchasing the bundle gives you the full pack of rewards and automatically checks all event battle missions as completed. So you won’t be able to access them once you have the bundle. The Caernarvon Action X will remain on sale for two days after the end of the event — until September 30, 07:00 PT | 09:00 CT | 10:00 ET, so even if you run out of time, you’ll still be able to get your hands on this British Premium! Thanks, everyone! Hope that you're as excited for the British Challenge as we are! 

KRZYBooP:   The in game Auto aim has bite me in the tuccus too many times to count. This is how I bounce on a Grille15 with my OBJ277. If you want it aimed right do it yourself.    When a light tank buzzes around you; you kinda have to rely on your team to help you take them out.   

KRZYBooP:   In the last patches there have been at least 3 new maps added, Tournaments are going on every week that allow players a chance to earn a bunch of in game goods; not sure what is not good about them, map changes and balances happen every update.    Wheeled vehicles are being classified as Light vehicles and will  be competing for the same slots in MM that the Light Tanks do so it's not like you are going to swarmed by a Furious Drift  team. Considering the nature of  WoT there are still more questions than answers about the specifics of Wheeled vehicles and their impact. 

MeatheadMilitia:   I'm good 

MeatheadMilitia:   You might be waiting for an American Premium TD, but I've been waiting 5 years for an American Premium SPG - Tier VIII

MA77:   Foi para o Superteste apenas. 

Ainda estão trabalhando no mapa, rs.

MA77:   ​Como está a integridade do seu Sistema Operacional?

Felipe6666Original:   Totalmente de acuerdo. Thread cerrado.   ¡Saludos!

MeatheadMilitia:   Trust me, I'm not better than you haha   Sun shines on a dogs butt every now and then. 

Senator_Ratbat:   he's selling sarcasm 

MeatheadMilitia:   I guess I'm just happy I made credits 

MeatheadMilitia:   Imagine if i didn't use premium consumables, that would have been a 94,000 Credit earning battle...not too shabby if you ask me.    Also, i can't remember, but I may have fired a few premium rounds on some targets when things were getting a little squirrely

MeatheadMilitia:   Soon...very...very...very...soon....

Felipe6666Original: Bien, dejando de lado el trolleo (de una calidad paupérrima, por cierto, aunque efectivo hay que admitir porque por algo estamos todos aquí ), creo que es necesario que aluda a un par de cosas que aquí se discuten:   Creo que es saludable que se comparen gestiones de uno y otro mod. Es bueno rescatar lo bueno de cada uno para darle permanencia en el tiempo y desechar aquello que ha probado ser ineficaz o insuficiente. Sin embargo, también me parece saludable acercar el hombro con propuestas desinteresadas en pos de la comunidad, no de uno mismo y utilizar la falsa premisa autoatribuible de la defensa de los jugadores para instalar agendas de dudosa efectividad. Eso sin siquiera mencionar el extenso prontuario que algunos parecen olvidar tener tras de sí.    Por desgracia, mi contrato me impide compartir los detalles que explican las razones de la situación actual de ciertas actividades en LATAM, pero creo que puedo decirles que el futuro parece mucho más positivo de lo que puede ser considerado ahora. Los movimientos concernientes son mucho más grandes de lo que podría haber imaginado jamás, al punto de que ahora me encuentro en una nueva posición, con nuevas atribuciones que deberé aprender a manejar y nuevas maneras de que mi incipiente gestión tenga un efecto mucho más palpable de lo que es actualmente.   Realmente no está en mis intenciones que esto suene como un discurso de cualquier político barato que repite siempre lo mismo y que nunca hace nada, simplemente porque no está en mi manera de ser. Se consiguieron ciertos logros, pero, como jugador y no como empleado de Wargaming, es más que comprensible que crean firmamente que no alcanza. De hecho, no alcanza. Esta comunidad merece muchísimo más de lo que tiene actualmente. Y no es una cuestión de compararla con comunidades de otras regiones, porque cada una tiene sus propias necesidades, sino una cuestión de reconocer en dónde estamos y a dónde queremos llegar.   Por lo demás, la fractura dentro de la comunidad está cada vez más marcada en algunos aspectos. Y esto no lo digo para apuntar dedos, porque todos somos responsables en mayor o menor medida. Pero alimentar esas diferencias para sacar rédito propio termina perjudicando, irónicamente, a la comunidad. Si lo único que se intenta es llevar agua al molino de cada uno... Bueno, creo que todos sabemos cómo termina esa historia... Contestar a falsedades, que en cierto modo ya he hecho con esta respuesta, solo las alimenta y les da una importancia inexistente. Por suerte, quienes conforman el equipo de Wargaming y se encargan de que la familia sea cada vez más grande son capaces de distinguir entre un oportunista y un jugador apasionado.   ¡Saludos!   P.D.: No cierro el thread porque, más allá de una que otra desviación, se mantiene dentro de todo en el foco de discusión.

MeatheadMilitia: Haha I was like, "Why is this guy rushing my position?" then after you blew up, I looked down and saw the name and was like, *Hands on hip* "Oh Warchild"  

Here was my best performance so far. 
Top Tier in this game, but I did what Top Tiers are supposed to do, carry.     

TheTrustedLlama: Good evening tankers,   We have a Micro patch coming tonight to fix a few minor errors in the personal missions. Downtime will start Wednesday, September 12th at 03:30am PDT and will run approximately one hour. The official posting can be found here: https://na.wargaming...t-issues/22384/

Gnomon: Hey, everyone!  If you weren't in the know, we ran the playoffs for Season 9 of Clan Wars this past weekend! We wanted to thank everyone who participated and took the time to take part in some of the awesome battles. We had a lot of fun, and we hope you did too!  So, let's talk about the final rankings. But, first, big congratulations to --G-- for taking home the first prize!  Ranks:-G- YOUJO MAHOU L4ST F0CUS FD_UP _SF_ -RAO- -RS- RELIC X-T7 WONKA VILIN GOONZ CLAWS 200IQ  Congrats again to all of the winners!  So, what did you guys think? Did you take part in the playoffs, or did you just watch? What were your favorite parts? Feel free to share any great clips you might have caught on stream! Hopefully, you all were able to enter one of the Clan codes before the playoffs for some of those sweet Boosters.  Thanks for checking out the playoffs, and we hope to see you next season! PS: Is -G- dead? 

The_Chieftain:   No, he had a different argument, as I recall, I think based on a controversial definition of what socialism was in the first place. Original video here. https://www.youtube....h?v=dlXqFgqOviw 4,000 comments for 40,000 views on a 20 minute video is quite the feat. He posted a response video the next day. https://www.youtube....h?v=4_eQ7weo_ys , this one 30 minutes. Also 40,000 views and 40,000 comments. That sequence did not go well for him.  

The_Chieftain:   One of the basic ones, though, that men don't get penalised, is questionable. http://www.tennisabs...oint-penalties/ Category        Matches  Penalties     P%   Women (all)        1895         13  0.69%   Women (slams)       490          6  1.22%   Women (finals)      228          2  0.88%     Men (all)          1689         16  0.95%   Men (slams)         234          6  2.56%   Men (finals)        371          5  1.35%

DomoSapien:   You're welcome to make a guide for Minsk

Senator_Ratbat:   From what we observed in Blitz the narrower spread added challenge to being top tier as you wouldn't be facing vehicles 2 tiers below. We already have the occasional narrower spread in 5/10. What's your take on that MM set-up compared to 3/5/7? 

DomoSapien: Howdy, the extra Gold was actually to correct a payout with this tournament: https://worldoftanks...AwMDAwMDc1NQ==/

Our automatic Crediting system prized out that tournament incorrectly, and someone brought it to my attention via private messages so I corrected it yesterday.

I do have a similar compensation package in mind for Sunday's tournament, but I'll share more details on that once it's approved.
