dance210:   Hi Nick299,   If you are talking about this EU article, then yes, that will also be happening here. You should see our announcement sometime tomorrow

The_Chieftain:   No, unfortunately. The lack of clarity was, I think, our problem. People got the impression that the IS-3's roof would be bouncing rounds left, right and center. People also have the impression that a lot of IS-3 damage comes from the roof in the first place. Heck, surveys say that only a small portion of players (And I am talking single-digit percentages here) even understand the overmatch mechanic as it currently exists, and presumably thus know how to use it.   So, if you want to look at IS-3, you have a small portion of the playerbase who know to shoot a small portion of their shots at a small portion of the vehicle, which would, after the remake of the mechanics, ricochet only a portion of those shots instead of none of them. This isn't really a 'major' benefit. Is it a buff? Sure. Want a nerf? That 122mm no longer automatically overmatches things which the 120 wouldn't. So there's a trade right off the bat.   As this topic is being considered, I would ask that assuming the new mechanics do indeed come back into the limelight with more information, players forget what they think they know about them, and start from scratch without pre-conceptions. 

JayStark02: Closing thread. Please continue discussion Here.

The_Chieftain:   You car mechanic loves you, doesn't he?   You do double-clutch on old WW2 vehicles, though, right?

The_Chieftain: They weren't thinking about making 1mm of armor bounce anything. The system was bugged in implementation, it was never supposed to happen like that. (The bug was fixed towards the end of last week, but nobody noticed: Everybody had their opinions by then, and were sticking to it)   It's worth noting that this mechanics change originated in the balance department, not some other part of the developer organisation. The idea that the balance department was not considering the effects on vehicle balance of this new system is silly. They generally know what they're doing. For those that understand the full nature of the changes, we think it's a great idea, the problem, as I see it, is that we didn't properly communicate them to the playerbase at large, giving a little information, and then a bugged system to extrapolate from. That there was a glitch in the system taking up 'testing time' didn't help either. So, if/when we set about bringing the system back, (which currently has a tentative date), we'll do so a little more 'gently' and with a bit better education. 

GhostPrime: The 9.17 Public test client has been updated, and some changes made.  We have analyzed your feedback that you have given about the public test and made some balance changes. We have also postponed the new overmatch mechanics.    Please leave your feedback on this iteration of the public test here in this thread.    Full list of Changes:   Iteration 2 Issues fixed:  Some vehicles added to comparison when already received by the player

dance210:   Yes, that means you can bring three tier VI tanks. Good luck!   The max tier point never takes into account the reserve or alternate players on your team, only the active players.

The_Chieftain:   The gun is so small that it's nowhere near where the ammunition is stored. It takes the loaders longer to walk half the length of the turret to the breech.

The_Chieftain:   Nope.   If you're going Jumbo instead of the M6, the reason you did that was because you wanted to run up the Medium line as well. Park the T29, go start the T20. Unlock the 90mm. Then go mount it on the T29.

Volier_Zcit: Thread closed. This has turned into a name calling thread instead of discussing the topic.

GhostPrime: Thank you all for your entries!    I will post the winners once the decisions are made, by the end of the week. You have not made it easy for us to decide! There are some really great submissions!

The_Chieftain:   Was it comfortable?   I have to say, I wasn't tracking it.

The_Chieftain:   The discussion in the office ought to be interesting.   I last saw those drawings on a thumb-drive provided by Serb about three years ago.

veganzombiez: Hi guys, Vote based on the influence you feel is more common. Positively = Makes things more tactical, balances things, etc. Negatively = Too much RnG, unbalances things, etc.

GhostPrime: I will get more clarifications for your questions about certain mods.  As for the image from the old prohibited mods list, please keep in mind that it may be outdated. The forum post was removed when the new policy went in effect. Please let me know if you see any live articles with the outdated information, and will take care of it. 

JayStark02: Topic moved to Clan Recruitment. Good Luck OP. 

dance210: All active tournaments can be found by searching the Tournaments Home Page. Interested in what we having coming up? Check out the eSports calendar!  A player has two ways to register for the Platournaments! When you create the team, make sure that you are using the correct registration!Register as a Team! Registration works the same as normal. Team captain makes a team and recruits players to join. A complete team has 3 - 4 players. Captains do not need to submit their team; all teams with the minimum number of players will be accepted. The team is now ready to fight once the tournament starts! Register as a Solo player or as part of a Party! A party is a group of players that does not meet the minimum team size requirements. Create a team. Teams do not need to be confirmed; all players will be accepted for the Solo/Party Registration. Once registration has closed, the player will be combined with other solo player(s) and/or a party to form a complete team After registration has closed, players are encouraged to check back to find their new team!  So how do you register as a solo player? It's easy! When you create a team, there will be Registration Option with a drop down menu. Simply switch from Register Team to Register Solo and you are ready to go!

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

The_Chieftain:   There is a bit of a quirk here in California right now that due to the recent tightening of the "assault weapons" law, any rifles I own by the end of this year can be legally converted back into "free America" configuration.  The lines at my local purveyor of fine firearms are hideous. The AK is just because it's iconic. I am considering buying a few AR lowers, though if they are all sold out, I won't lose too much sleep.  We have already figured out a set of modifications for 2017 evil black rifles.   Good to hear that Operation Shekels to Razvan bore fruit.  What will you be doing? 

The_Chieftain:   Actually, I sort of did that this afternoon. I may also have skipped a couple of pay grades and emailed Cyprus direct (Not normal for me, but I feel strongly enough about it).  Am pleased to have received a response confirming that removal of the mechanic from this patch was not to be taken as a cancellation of the concept.  Apparently the EU post suffered an error in translation somewhere when it said "canceled". I expect we'll see it again soon enough.   Started the paperwork on an AK74. 

Volier_Zcit:   ​Thanks! 

Volier_Zcit: Hi Guys,   Just want to step in before everyone jumps into conclusion. We totally understand the frustration and confusion from your end about our Fair Play Policy. We totally appreciate all the feedback about it. I just want to let you know guys that I've notified the team about this thread so sooner or later, probably GhostPrime will make a comment about this so we can all be on the same page. Right now, we're pretty much interested in those players that has been banned. If you know these players, please tell them to submit a ticket to our Customer Support Team and if possible, can you please PM the ticket numbers to me so we can communicate with our Customer Support Team about it.   Just a reminder though, while we understand that most of you are very frustrated about the topic, still please make sure to follow our Forum Rules and avoid making unnecessary comment and off topic posts.   Thank you.   ~ Volier_Zcit

Volier_Zcit: I'm already seeing people calling each other out and having nonsense arguments. Closing thread before it gets worst.

The_Chieftain:   Partly, My issue is that I view the problem as that we never told the players what was supposed to happen, and why IS3/140s and whatnot weren't going to be as impenetrable as they thought it would be.

GhostPrime:   There has been a thread posted on this subject. Also a specific list may prove to be more confusing because some mods may be called different names, but perform the same function. You are free to ask, and I will give you the best answer I can. http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/519659-fair-play-policy-qa/

GhostPrime: Let's keep this thread free of name calling and finger pointing please. 

The_Chieftain: Looks quite a bit bigger than last year.

The_Chieftain: Apparently the new overmatch mechanics have been removed from this patch. Which is disappointing, because I really think they were an improvement. We'll see for 9.18 or whatever comes next. No word on how the 4cm S-Tank will fare.

GhostPrime:    ​Please keep this thread on topic. 

JayStark02: Closing thread as per OP's request.

GhostPrime: Please keep comments to this thread:  http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/521194-if-you-were-banned/page__st__80#topmost as this is where the discussion is taking place

NyxWGA: http://worldoftanks..../17/first-wave/   I just completed placing the bans myself, and there were 252 of them. For this first round, we deliberately were very careful. We set the detection criteria extremely strict -  meaning we would detect fewer people but the ones detected we were sure they were using illegal mods. We have less strict sets of criteria, and could have set it such that we detected far more people, but then there would have been the possibility of false positives.   We plan to run the detection criteria regularly, and continue updating our detection methods and algorithms. We expect to complete another ban wave before the end of the year, so people who continue to use these programs will receive consequences. We knew that we wouldn't get everyone on the first pass, but will continue to work towards fair play for everyone.
