dance210: Hello JeffXandra,   The idea of using Free XP in this way is interesting. I'm not sure if it would be possible for missions; however I can pass your suggestion on to the rest of the team!

dance210:   No....   The specific match time displayed will reflect your local computer time. So a person in California would see 18:30 while someone living in South Carolina would see 21:30. This should make it easier for players to know what time the battles start.

dance210: Hello tankers!   Apologies again for the delay in getting the winners posted. Congratulations to the following, you should receive your gold by end of the day today! Thank you everyone for participating   Beauregard23

dance210:   Hi!   We try to go through all the tiers in the 1v1 Throwdowns. We hadn't done a tier I in a while, so it was about time for it to show up

Saffr0n:   Try adjusting the download speed rather of allowing an unlimited stream. Also try disabling seeding (if you're using the normal launcher). If you're using the WGC launcher, then turn upload speed to 0.   

Saffr0n:   We're aware of the confusion, but probably has something to do with the changeover. I'd have to complete another counter mission to see if it stays on-track or it appears to reset because the feeder mission can't be completed any longer. Luckily, the mission that actually rewards the tokens show that a player has received all of their tokens. Our support staff can also look into the account and confirm the number of tokens earned.  http://imgur.com/a/u3CKR

Saffr0n:   1080 x 24p? What's your in-game resolution? Whatever you put isn't a resolution set that would be recognized by the client. Post a screenshot of your graphic's settings. 

Saffr0n:   It's a premium vehicle that will be sold in the near future. Be sure to look out for it in the premium shop portal. 

Quemapueblos: Hello Tankers, Today we launched patch 0.9.19 and we want to hear your feedback! There are separate topics for major 0.9.19 changes, please leave all feedback for Mission UI Improvements in this thread.  Missions 2.0 The visual and functional part of the Missions and Specials window underwent considerable changes within the first iteration. The Missions tab will become available in the Garage: it allows displaying the corresponding screen. Missions are conventionally divided into three tabs: Events, Missions, and For Selected Vehicle.Events: tasks that require considerable efforts (for example, marathons).Missions: tasks that can be grouped according to their idea (for example, daily missions, Training Missions, etc.). Each mission is displayed as a tile; all missions are logically sorted: high-priority missions are displayed at the top of the list. Each mission (tile) can be opened to view its detailed description. The new design of the Missions will simplify understanding of this game entity by players. Now Specials are available as a Store menu option. There are various specials in the game: basically, the discounts for vehicles, consumables, experience conversion, etc. Each special is represented with a tile with a detailed description of the discount, its amount, and other information. All specials are interactive: specials can be used right in the game client by clicking on the corresponding tile. Overview of 0.9.19 Patch NotesFull Patch Notes Here 

Quemapueblos: Hello Tankers,   Today we launched patch 0.9.19 and we want to hear your feedback! There are separate topics for major 0.9.19 changes, please leave all feedback for New Equipment and Directives in this thread.  There is a separate topic for Ranked Battles   Improved equipment: Analogy of the standard equipment that already exists in the game. However it provides a bigger bonus to the technical characteristics. Such equipment can be purchased with Bonds only. Improved Equipment   Packed into 9.19 are six types of Improved Equipment. They all work like the most popular consumables, with one small yet significant difference: newly added items grant a bigger bonus to combat parameters. Also, it’s impossible to mount similar types of regular and Improved Equipment at once, e.g., you can’t equip a tank both with Rammer and Innovative Loading System. You’ve got to choose just one, when readying for a battle.   Venting System adds 7.5% to all crew skills Extended Spare Parts Kit cuts repair speed by 40% Stabilizing Equipment System lowers dispersion during movement and turret rotation by 25% Innovative Loading System cuts loading time by 12.5% Wear-Resistant Gun Laying Drive reduces aiming speed by 12.5% Experimental Optics boosts view range by 12.5% up to 445m   Directives: A new type of single-use consumables used for increasing technical characteristics of vehicles. The directives can increase the bonus of the mounted equipment or learnt skills/perks of the crew members. A player can equip only one directive at a time. Once used in battle, a new directive needs to be purchased.       Full Equipment Overview Here   Overview of 0.9.19 Patch Notes Full Patch Notes Here

Ranked Battles is a 15v15 mode exclusive to Tier X vehicles, where the first team to eliminate the opposition or capture their base secures victory. Basically, the setup is the same as Random Battles. And that’s where the similarity ends. Ranked Battles is all about individual results. Your ultimate goal here is to put on a stellar individual performance to climb the Leaderboard, earning ranks and rewards along the way. The more successful you are in battle, the higher your rank in the special Leaderboard of the Ranked Battles.   Matchmaking: The matchmaker puts you in a team with players whose rank is similar to yours (±1). If getting a ±1 match would take too long, the matchmaker will loosen its restrictions a bit to get you in a battle quickly. The two teams will always have the same number of players with any given rank. Simply put, you play alongside tankers of similar ranking and have competition to match. The higher your rank, the higher the competition that you face. If the matchmaker fails to assemble the teams within X minutes, the Ranked Battle will not start: the player will be sent back to the Garage.   Progression: Getting in the Top 12 by XP on the winning team earns you a chevron, taking you a step closer toward earning a new rank. So does getting in the Top 3 on the losing team. The 1st rank will cost you just one chevron, and the higher you climb, the more chevrons it takes you to progress. The bottom 3 players of the winning team do not earn a chevron, while the bottom 12 players of the defeated team lose a chevron. Upon reaching the 1st and 5th ranks, you progress is saved. On top of that, after you reach the 5th rank you get an option to prove your skill on a certain Tier X vehicle by leveling it to the max. Each vehicle rank is bound to the vehicle, in which it was earned (each vehicle has its unique progression), and remains there throughout the stage. Just one exception here: the number of vehicle ranks is not limited   Timeline: Ranked Battles are divided into seasons. The Beta season will consist of four 7-day stages. When a new stage begins, rank leveling is reset to the beginning. The progress achieved by the end of day 7 is included in the Leaderboard. When the season ends, your results over the last 28 days are totaled and you receive rewards, depending on your final standing in the Leaderboard.   Economy: Along with the usual earnings per battle, you will get bonuses (сredits, consumables, and Personal Reserves) for reaching a new rank and fulfilling the special combat mission, exclusive to Ranked Battles. At the end of each stage and season, you receive crates with rewards and a certain amount of an all-new in-game currency, Bonds, which can’t be bought with credits or gold. Bonds can buy Directives and Improved Equipment that significantly boost crew skills and vehicle parameters. The higher your score for the stage and season, the more Bonds you earn.   Leaderboard: Each rank earned for the first time in each stage provides one point. These points are totaled over the entire season and determine the player's position among other participants of the Ranked Battles. The player should earn a certain amount of points to take position in the Leaderboard, whereas the required amount of points increases in each following stage. At the end of the season, the leaders are selected from those who earned enough points. The leaders are divided into three leagues. The first league are the first 10% of players, they receive the highest reward. The second league are another 15% of players, they receive smaller rewards. The third league are another 25%; these players also receive rewards. The reward of the season final is the best and always higher than those received for stages irrespective of the league where the player ended the season.   Badges: Players can earn Badges (new vehicle customization element) as a reward for participation in a season. Badges are unique icons that will be displayed next to the player’s nickname in battle and everyone will be able to see it. This is the simplest way to show off.   Overview of 0.9.19 Patch Notes Full Patch Notes Here

Saffr0n: Hi Folks!   Update 9.19 is now live and ready to play. In this update we've introduced a new mode: Ranked Battles. In it, you're rewarded for personal performances and can face off against opponents of comparable skill in 15 v 15 battles exclusive to Tier X vehicles. You can also earn a new type of currency in this mode, bonds, which can be used to purchase improved equipment and directives.    Continuing on to make improvements to the game, the missions UI has gotten a much needed facelift.    We've added female voiceover options. Additionally, the female crews with Sisterhood of Steel and male crews with Brotherhood in Arms perks are now compatible.    More information about the updates can be found below:  https://worldoftanks.com/en/news/general-news/update-919-is-here/ https://worldoftanks.com/en/content/docs/919-update-notes/   Download link can be found here   Let us know of any bugs or issues you find along the way. Be sure to provide a detailed description of the issue, and provide any replays or screenshots that can be forwarded to the developers. 

The_Chieftain:   Wait, I do not recall seeing you over the weekend.   There is apparently talk of moving Haida to Ottawa now.

Mezurashi: Locking this topic as most of the posts are now unconstructive.

The_Chieftain: I was at Haida today. The water is less than a foot from the top of the quay.

The_Chieftain: You using the first or the second code?

dance210: Attention Commanders!

Njourour: I'm not seeing this conversation evolving into a constructive dialogue. 

Mezurashi: Topic locked due to non-constructive posting and sensitive political comments.

Mezurashi: Do we really need to stat and name shame? Please keep it civil.   Just a reminder. Thanks.

The_Chieftain:   We've ben waiting for a while for an official date of opening. I hope to attend, but my schedule is filling rapidly. I think we can expect a good presence from WG: The King served with Cutland, and I was at a course in Ft Knox with his brother, a professional (to the extent that he was relieved of his royal duties to concentrate on his military career) tanker. The collection is all but infinitely funded, and they have some excellent vehicles, including a running PzIV, and the Conqueror I did the ITCH on

The_Chieftain: Hippocrtical? "First, do no harm..."

The_Chieftain: I asked for a comparison by anyone who has another Echo Point reprint over on Reddit.   "Well, I can vouch that the quality of the new Firepower is much better than my Sheridan copy. It feels like the difference between a textbook and a novel. If it takes longer to print but results in this kind of quality, I'm for it. However, hardcover editions are going to become plenty more expensive if it comes to printing something as thick as Sherman. Also, the addendum is a really nice touch. I appreciate that over simply editing through Hunnicutt's original work."

Mezurashi: Let's stop with the name calling shall we? Please keep it civil.   Thanks.

Mezurashi:   ^ What he said. Topic locked.

The_Chieftain:   I might know someone who knows someone...

The_Chieftain: 60Tanker, do me a favour. If it doesn't work tonight, photograph the bonus code on the back. Attach the image to a support ticket, and give me the ticket number. We'll try to track this down.

MeatheadMilitia:   And if it does happen again, we'll have learned from this situation on how to communicate better. 
No human is perfect, no business is perfect, we made a mistake, we'll learn from it.    I agree with you, action does speak louder than words, which is why hope the community helps keep us honest as you always have, moving forward. 

MeatheadMilitia:   People in NA are allowed to stream and make youtube videos. 

MeatheadMilitia:   This is being used as an education piece in an effort to make sure this never happens again.
