Subject: Mismatched Tank Icon and Tank Name
Link on message: #9102238
Da_Vinci, on Jun 15 2015 - 14:04, said: I was checking a couple of my tanks to see how bad I was doing in
them (wasn't having a great day) and i came upon this (kind of
cool) glitch where the tank icons don't match the tank names (i.e.
IS-7 has wz-132 icon). This is cool and all, but I want to bring
this to wargaming's attention and have it fixed. Picture here. *edit I
wasn't able to actually upload the picture for some weird reason,
so I just linked it to puush.

GhostPrime: When you send in a ticket, they will ask you for a trace of your
connection. This will show them where the packet loss lies.
Sometimes packet loss is deceptive; some servers will be set to
ignore ICMP echo requests, or ignore them at a certain
threshold. That said, support does compile
information, and I do encourage you to send in tickets that way an
investigation can be made if an issue occurs.

either or both Clans to submit a ticket to Clan Management queue so I

normalise the round before it hits the main armour plate.

Subject: Clan Spotlight: BULBA
Link on message: #9101144
Link on message: #9101144
veganzombiez: _Shrew– Glorious Supreme Leader. Does
everything except chip movements, calling, and recruiting. GabrielAngelos – Primary caller.
Second in command after Ox. Oxmathus_PRO – Chip movements.
Helps Gabe not lose battles. Ant_PRO – Treasurer. Steals ants.
This month’s Clan Spotlight focuses on BULBA, a simple social Clan dedicated to
excellence in everything they do. Their roster of Gold League
players allows BULBA to be dominant, and their philosophy allows
them to relax and have fun. BULBA is more than just a group of
highly skilled players: BULBA is their home. What’s the
story of BULBA? Oxmathus_PRO: It’s actually a pretty good story.
The clan was first made back in 2013 by Aquavolt, but was essentially started
by Gold League players foodie and Unnomable from RBIS (Romantic Bulbasaur Iguana Squad).
It came from when foodie and Unnomable always used to say “BULBA”
because they liked Bulbasaur and thought it was kind of cute. While
they were still in PBKAC, a friend came into their channel and
said he was going to take the name BULBA and make a clan out of it.
Aquavolt freaked out and said, "You're not going to take that name"
or something and the next day made the BULBA clan itself. So it was
originally started as a joke so the other guy couldn't take the
name, and essentially sat as a dead clan for the next 8 or so
months until a group of people left -G- and various other clans to go and
start our own clan, which became what BULBA is today. That was
about a year ago. What are your goals? Oxmathus_PRO: A fun
social clan that doesn’t require people to be serious, but still be
good. _Shrew: BULBA started as a clan where Clan Wars was
the least important objective. We didn’t even think about it,
but now it seems we’re one of the biggest powerhouses on the whole
server, which is funny because we still don’t require Clan Wars or
anyone to show up. It’s all voluntary: If you wanna do it, you do
it. Your motto says “dedicated to non-CW excellence”. Will
it change after your success in the current war? Oxmathus_PRO: No,
we joined the server war because people attacked us, and we’re
defending ourselves. That doesn’t change what we are as a clan.
Your Clan Ratings definitely show more
Skirmish battles. Are Strongholds that much more of a focus for
BULBA? Oxmathus_PRO: Originally, the only reason we sat on the
Global Map was so that I could do payouts for Strongholds.
_Shrew: Yes, and when we want to test ourselves. For instance,
people used to never attack -G-, but then Strongholds came out, and
we’re like “We’re a Stronghold clan, so why don’t we try ourselves
against -G-?” We ended up beating them a few times. Really,
Strongholds is the biggest thing for BULBA, maybe more important
than Clan Wars. It’s just right now, we can’t do both. Who
does the diplo to keep you on the map? _Shrew: Most of the bad
diplo is done by Gabe. Most of the good diplo is done by Ant. And
the neutral diplo is done by Ox and I. GabrielAngelos: Are
you calling me a bad diplomat, Shrew? Ant_PRO: Yes.
_Shrew: Yeah, this is why we’re in a war right now. So the
entire server war is caused by Gabe? _Shrew: Yes. 100%
caused by Gabe. There’s even a map he made that’s on one of the
wardecs. It was probably just one of Gabe’s crazy ideas that
was obviously a superficial plan. GabrielAngelos: The funny
thing is that Shrew wouldn’t ever let us attack anyone, so I got
people to wardec us. What’s the most memorable Clan Wars
battle you’ve had so far? Oxmathus_PRO: The best fight we’ve had
was against RELIC recently on
Komarin where they beat us in a 1v1 situation.
GabrielAngelos: RELIC is the only clan on the server in this Clan
Wars scene that has a 100% win rate against BULBA.
Oxmathus_PRO: They’re 1 out of 1 against us, meaning they’re
probably one of the top clans right now. Ant_PRO: I’m gonna
have to disagree with my colleagues here and say our most memorable
battle was in the early days of BULBA, almost a year ago,
against Legion Latina on Swamp. They
ended up beating us in a very close battle. Oxmathus_PRO:
That happened? It was on Komarin against ACA-T. We lost to a cap fast. _Shrew:
That’s how the stereotype started: BULBA never leaving the red
line. Oxmathus_PRO: People didn’t want to go back to reset
the base. _Shrew: Everyone was full health, but no one
wanted to move up because they didn’t want to get their tank locked
or ruin their damages. Ant_PRO: All of our tanks were on the
ridge sniping while they capped. _Shrew: In IS-7s and stuff.
Ant_PRO: aLarge2 said, “Get back to base”
like 4 times, and everyone just sat on the ridge.
Oxmathus_PRO: That was in the first few months of the clan. I’d
like to say that we’ve improved a bit from that point.
GabrielAngelos: Eh. I’d like to point out my favorite fights so far
have been against OTTER. They’ve certainly been the most
surprising. I thought we’d go 50-50, but it didn’t exactly turn out
that way. You placed 2nd to OTTER in both Invitational
tournaments. How did you adjust for this war? _Shrew: What we’ve
concluded is that OTTER is not a social clan. They put in a lot of
effort, and they get rewarded for that. Last Invitational, they
trained for 4 weeks, while BULBA maybe did 1. We didn’t have strats
for the maps, and our favorite maps were locked. Their training
really paid off, but it didn’t bother us because getting
2nd place was much better than we expected for a clan that
barely practiced. Oxmathus_PRO: It’s a lot easier to win a
fight when you put 4 weeks of time into it, but unfortunately for
OTTER, you can’t put 4 weeks of time into a single Clan Wars match.
_Shrew: Now that we’re on a more even footing, where we both
have the same amount of practice, we’re completely dominant, I
think, due to both player skill and caller skill. Ant_PRO:
It’s a combination of Gabe, Ox, and Wallhack. GabrielAngelos: We
also have people helping us make strats for some maps,
like RyanGetzlaf, who’s an awesome caller.
I would also like to say a big thank you to VILIN for giving us an idea on how to
play Steppes. We love your 3 Batchats on the 1-2 line, copied it
and improved it. _Shrew: This is why they wardecced us: you
stole their strat. Oxmathus_PRO: Basically, why would you
put that much time into training when you can just take somebody
else’s strat and improve upon it? It’s easier to do that.
BULBA’s had lots of success, but do you feel there’s room for
improvement? Oxmathus_PRO: Actually, we started a lot better than
we thought we ever would. We’re probably, not too sound too cocky,
looking pretty scary right now. Ant_PRO: One thing we can
improve on is not getting highrolled by Batchats in a 1v1 at the
end of the game. Oxmathus_PRO: I think the only thing that
would ever help us improve would be the activity level. Right now,
it’s better than ever. _Shrew: Our biggest problem is
consistency and still not knowing each other well. Sometimes
there’s caller and player miscommunication, but everyone plays so
well individually, that even if there’s giant miscommunication, it
doesn’t really matter because we’ll just outplay pretty much any
enemy team. With that in mind, does BULBA rely more on
individual skill, or are callers still most important?
GabrielAngelos: It’s a combo. We usually just take good map
positions, see what the enemy does, and then outflex them normally.
That has worked virtually every single time. Oxmathus_PRO:
When the clan first started, it was mostly relying on player skill
because we didn’t have any dedicated callers. We had callers who
were good, but they weren’t people who could compare to other
clans. And ever since we got Gabe, that has changed so now we have
both the skill level aspect and a really good caller aspect. That’s
working really well for us right now. How much has the Gold
League experience helped? Oxmathus_PRO: If I were to look through
our clan roster, probably about at least 30 or 40 of these guys
have current Gold League experience. That really helps because it
means I can put them in a Clan Wars fight and know they’re gonna
perform as much as I want them to, and I won’t have to worry about
them messing up. Basically, they can carry a game and I don’t have
to worry about micromanaging. GabrielAngelos: The only
downside to having WGLNA players is when there’s a match or they’re
practicing, that can keep us from fielding three teams. For
instance, we have most of RUlette and Top Tier, and we have players scattered
throughout other Gold League teams too. We have to guess who’s
gonna be on some nights. Oxmathus_PRO: It’s a balancing act.
We have to try to not put ourselves in a bad position that night so
that we don’t have to worry about not having those people.
Ant_PRO: You’re giving away all our secrets. People are gonna
wardec us during WGLNA matches now. Aside from Gold League,
do BULBA players participate in smaller tournaments? Oxmathus_PRO:
I’d say we have a lot of people who do Skirmishes. I used to do
them, but since Gold League is starting up again, and due to the
war, I can’t spend that much time doing all that stuff. I’ve
been on or against teams of all BULBA. Skirmishes are a main
factor, which is also why holding land isn’t too important since
you can get so much gold from tournaments. How do you keep
your members motivated? Oxmathus_PRO: I’ve had multiple people tell
me they were going to quit the game, but came back because of the
community that we have, so I think BULBA itself is what keeps
people playing. _Shrew: Definitely what Ox said. Again, we
don’t require any activity, but people come to hang out on
TeamSpeak, whether for an anime club meeting or just talking about
random stuff. For instance, when the boxing match was happening, we
had like 40 people just group watching the stream. It was pretty
interesting. GabrielAngelos: That was Puncho vs Mayflower,
right? _Shrew: Uh, Gabe is really bad at names. You should
definitely write that down. Oxmathus_PRO: We had a guy
change his name because Gabe kept calling him by the wrong name, so
he just changed his name to help Gabe be able to say it.
That’s some power he’s got. Ant_PRO: I can definitely agree
with Ox. I can almost guarantee I would’ve quit this game a long
time ago if it wasn’t for BULBA. Oxmathus_PRO: The whole
reason BULBA was made was because we were all tired of our old
clans. That’s why we don’t require anybody to actually do anything.
Everything here is voluntary. _Shrew: With this semester of
college, I played maybe 5 pub matches total, but no one bothered
anyone like, “Hey you’re not showing up enough” and now that it’s
summer, everyone is on every night and ready to play. There’s no
burn out. I think that’s the greatest thing about BULBA: no one’s
gonna get burnt out because we don’t require attendance.
Oxmathus_PRO: When clans require people to train every night and
show up to Clan Wars or get kicked, people start burning out either
from them having to call or them having to be around every night
and worrying about getting kicked if they’re not around. We don’t
have that problem. What makes BULBA different from other
clans? _Shrew: Everyone’s from different parts of the world. We
have Chinese, Japanese— All: Russians. _Shrew: Lots
of Russians. We have a few Finns, few Italians, few Germans, a
British guy who hangs out—he’s not quite in BULBA but he thinks he
is—everyone, everywhere. Lots of Brazilians as well.
Ant_PRO: Mexicans. GabrielAngelos: BULBA’s the melting pot
of unicums. That’s basically what we are. _Shrew: We could
possibly be the most diverse clan out there. Does BULBA have
any interesting traditions? GabrielAngelos: Thunderdome.
_Shrew: We don’t do team trainings, but when we do, we don’t
practice Clan Wars. The only team trainings we do are Thunderdome
and other fun stuff. Oxmathus_PRO: Something we used to do
is group watches of movies or anime club meetings. I actually don’t
even watch anime, but we’re not an anime clan. No one’s required to
like or even watch it, but it just so happens that a bunch of the
best players on the server happen to like anime. _Shrew:
Really, the anime club meeting isn’t about anime. Usually it’s just
polls like “Who’s your favorite platoonmate?” or “who do you hate
the most in the clan?” That’s pretty funny because it’s always me.
It’s really nice because it breaks the ice and it lets people bash
each other without taking it seriously. You can pretty much say
what you want on these polls and a lot of times it’s pretty funny.
It’s good to hear feedback. Oxmathus_PRO: The thing is, we
always do little stuff. Like sometimes in Clan Wars, if someone’s
being annoying or something, or we just want to kill him, I’ll pay
people to TK him. GabrielAngelos: That’s why all my tanks
are locked. _Shrew: If there’s a game where we haven’t
TKed tomhwk, then we failed.
Ant_PRO: We’re just kidding. We never put tomhwk in.
GabrielAngelos: Poor tomhwk. He receives the entire clan’s negative
attention. Ant_PRO: Basically, if someone’s having a bad
day, they just take it out on tom. What’s the craziest thing
that’s happened on your TeamSpeak? _Shrew: Not the craziest, but
our TeamSpeak owner dropped off the face of the planet, and we had
to find a new one. At the time, our only ally clan
was CHAI, and I asked Ox, “Why
don’t we talk to HoHoHaHee?” So he let
us join his TeamSpeak, and originally our channels were below
CHAI’s because we were new, and we challenged CHAI: “Hey, if we
beat you in a Stronghold Raid, will you let us be on top of the
server?” and we won. Oxmathus_PRO: HoHo agreed and then we
got moved to the top of the server above CHAI. Ant_PRO:
Another pretty crazy thing that happened, and it wasn’t strictly
BULBA, but for Chinese New Year, there was a channel with literally
over 100 people in that channel singing and talking, having a good
time. Oxmathus_PRO: Karaoke.
_Shrew: Carbonward sang. HoHo sang. It
was beautiful. tomhwk sang. GabrielAngelos: JackQueRudo. Ant_PRO: Everyone
sang. What’s the recruiting process for BULBA? Ant_PRO: 10k
Personal Rating. _Shrew: Yep, Personal Rating is the most
important. Oxmathus_PRO: Actually, it’s called Personality
Rating, thank you very much. GabrielAngelos: After
Personality Rating, we take a look at your stats, and you’re either
a yes or a no, unless we’re unsure. _Shrew: If it’s close,
often times we make them have a 1v1 against diastant in his Batchat. If they
can beat dia in a 1v1, they can join the clan most of the time.
Oxmathus_PRO: Most of the time. GabrielAngelos: Or
they’re forced to platoon with Jojo_PRO. Oxmathus_PRO:
Sometimes dia throws. What would you consider to be BULBA’s
greatest achievement? _Shrew: Probably not disbanding so far.
When Ant and I were in NTR, we messaged our good
friend NOTsillyputty about
BULBA. He was like, “It’s probably a bad idea. Not gonna last a
year.” Ant_PRO: PURPL 2.0 GabrielAngelos: All I’d
like to say is reaching super purple overall. _Shrew:
Highest recent WN8 in the whole world. Oxmathus_PRO: In the
last Campaign, we won the medal for winning
30 battles in a row, so I have to say that we’re all right at Clan
Wars. You’re also Number 1 NA in the new Clan Rating system. Are you using that
to analyze clan activity? _Shrew: BULBA’s not a clan where we’re
like, “Hey, we’re number 1. You mad?” We have great status, and
we’re the number 1 social clan by far, but we don’t really care
about metrics. Ant_PRO: With the exception of Personality
Rating. GabrielAngelos: And WN8. _Shrew: It’s
interesting to see the average battles. This is a pretty neat
metric. What feature would you add to Clan Wars? All:
Removing stats. _Shrew: Stats are pretty discouraging when
you’re working all day to pad your WN8 and then someone shows up in
a Tier I to troll you. People cry. I think BULBA cried really hard
in our last war against PBKAC, but we got over that and padded a
bit. Oxmathus_PRO: Clan Wars is good for padding win rate,
not WN8. I’d also not allow people to bring below Tier IX tanks.
Ant_PRO: I wish we could do Clan Wars with other servers.
Is there any advice you’d give to an upcoming clan? _Shrew:
Make it about the community, and not about the Clan Wars.
Oxmathus_PRO: It’s not a fast process. It’s something that you have
to work towards. You need to have a reason for people to join your
clan, not just “I’m recruiting”. You have to have a clan atmosphere
that people can attach to so those people will never leave, and
people will join for it. Are there any prior leadership
decisions you’ve made that you regret? _Shrew: I don’t think we’ve
really regretted anything. We’ve just been easy going and haven’t
had too many problems. Oxmathus_PRO: That’s a good question.
Obviously for me, it was the terrible decision of giving Shrew CO.
Ant_PRO: Whoa, I’ll have to disagree with you there. I think
that’s the best decision we’ve made in this clan. _Shrew:
I agree. Ant_PRO: Operation Ax the Ox was a success,
and the clan’s been uphill since then. GabrielAngelos:
BULBA’s mostly been YOLO. I think it was not shackling Carbonward
to his computer so we could run BULBA more. So who’s the
real Commander of BULBA? _Shrew: Really, there’s no CO of
BULBA; we all are. I’d say Ox does the most in terms of getting
everything together, but the idea of a single BULBA CO is kinda
silly. There doesn’t need to be one. We’re not here to manage
people, we’re here just to lead and make BULBA a fun community to
be in. Oxmathus_PRO: Basically, I don’t have to micromanage
people in game, and I don’t want to have to micromanage them as a
personality, which is why in our clan description, we say “Go Away!
Drama Queen and Drama King!!” I don’t deal with people’s
issues anymore. Who’s been your greatest rival?
Oxmathus_PRO: Purely, I’d have to say -G- to start, but then it’s
mostly been OTTER after that. It’s mostly just for the plain fact
that there are only so many good recruits on the server, and we
compete with OTTER for recruits. That right there already creates a
rivalry, so that’s an issue. Ant_PRO: ACA-T.
Oxmathus_PRO: And ACA-T because they beat us in Clan Wars before.
Ant_PRO: Did we ever get back at them? They still have a
100% win rate against us. They’re too good. What’s next for
BULBA? _Shrew: Find a peaceful position on the Global Map where we
can be next to our friends in CHAI and PINGU. Oxmathus_PRO: Have a break
from fighting people. Ant_PRO: Continue our ongoing quest
to— GabrielAngelos: Improve clan stats Ant_PRO: No,
to not implode. Oxmathus_PRO: Not disband is a pretty high
priority. Ant_PRO: It’s an ongoing goal for us. Everyday
it’s like, “We did it, boys”. _Shrew: Another big thing is
figuring out how to pay out the gold. Oxmathus_PRO: Since we
don’t really require activity, it’s kinda hard to find good ways of
paying people out. GabrielAngelos: The current server war
has done wonders for the payout system. _Shrew: It’s really
put Ant to work. Ant_PRO: I hate my job.
GabrielAngelos: He used to ask for gold, but since we’re at war, we
discontinued that policy. Is there anyone you’d like to give
a shout out to? _Shrew: Huge shoutout to CHAI and PINGU for being
by far the best allies possible. They have great COs that really
care about their members and allies. And I’d like to shout out
to lozarus. When I first started doing
diplo, he really understood that Ant and I didn’t really know our
way around, and he was really kind and really generous. More
generous than we were expecting and I definitely appreciate Loz,
even if he’s on the enemy team of this war. Big shoutout to
Hoho. It’s a smile and laugh I want to protect.
GabrielAngelos: I love you Hoho and RyanGetzlaf. You’re amazing
people. I’d also like to keep fighting THUGZ up north. Oxmathus_PRO:
Everybody we’ve been fighting in this war, or who we’ve worked
with. I’d also like to thank Allurai for helping us map PBKAC
in our earlier war. Ant_PRO: You stole my line! I’m done.
Also, since he’s dead and gone now, shoutout to Carbon for getting
the clan going. Oxmathus_PRO: Carbonward came in about 3
months late, but this was before Gabe joined, and he basically
helped me run the clan during the last campaign. Ant_PRO:
Also, a shoutout to all of our allies! You guys played even better
than we could on certain nights! #HOHO #CHAII #MAHOU #PINGU _Shrew: Shout out
to _vode_an_. All: We’d also like
to thank Wargaming for giving us a Spotlight. Any last
words? Ant_PRO: We’re coming for you, ACA-T. Oxmathus_PRO:
We’re always recruiting excellent players. _Shrew: Be on the
lookout for a giant anime meeting that anyone can join. It’ll be
posted on CR/D, hosted on CHAI TS. It’ll be a great chance for
people who like Japanese cartoons or just wanna vote on random
stuff to join us. And Brettk42O2 is the best 4202
player in the world. That’s all I have to say.
