Server Crash and CW

${lang:macro__view_post}$ Dukebarry, on Jul 28 2014 - 19:47, said: So there were a lot of CW battles and landings going on when this happened. What solution does WG have for us? Wipe today and start over tomorrow? Restart the Landings where they were? Reset all provinces to yesterday? Just want to know sooner rather than latter.

HBFT: We are currently in discussion regarding compensation for the unavailability of the servers on the 28th of July. I would assume that compensation would fall in line with the CW Compensation Policy. We will post more information as we receive it.

The servers will be going down tomorrow (7/30/14) morning at 2:15am and remain down until 8:15am PDT. The downtime is necessary to roll over to the newest 9.2 update! To see what is coming please feel free to read the patch notes here: http://worldoftanks.com/en/news/pc-browser/17/9_2-overview/ Thank you for your patience and we will see you on the battlefield.

${lang:macro__view_post}$ Beerstein, on Jul 29 2014 - 10:06, said: Any backup plan for if the server really can't handle the Pz. 1 c spam and it crashes/has major lag issues again?

dance210: Backup plan...does curling up in a ball, asking why, oh why, count as a backup plan? Seriously though, from everything we've found, the Pz 1C spam had nothing to do with the server crashing last night. Which makes me 99.999% sure that tonight's battles will go off without a hitch (there's always 0.001% chance that I'm wrong, btw).

${lang:macro__view_post}$ B33PB33P, on Jul 29 2014 - 10:32, said: WG: Thank you for letting us know about the make-up battles in such a timely manner. At the same time, I'd like to express that scheduling battles on Thursday (on a day that most of us expect no battles) is not a good idea. Many players, including myself, have already made plans not involving playing tanks on Thursday night ("Real Life"). We now have to choose between: cancelling on prior commitments to friends and family, or putting our tanks skirmish team at a disadvantage by not showing up for battle, or secret option #3, finding a sockpuppet for Thursday. None of the above options are desirable for any of us. Please consider this in future rescheduling of battles. Thanks.

dance210: We did consider that. However, we also considered the fact that per the rules, when there are server issues we will make up the battles...which for a week long skirmish, makes Thursday the best day for any problems. We also considered that for the group stage, we want to have teams face as many opponents as possible, for the standings. If any player(s) wanted to make a poll, to see if y'all would prefer to have that missing group stage or not, I wouldn't be opposed... As it stands now though, we will probably try to do any re-scheduling for a missed group stage on Thursdays

${lang:macro__view_post}$ Screaming_Shells, on Jul 29 2014 - 11:56, said: Hey, my team got it's gold today, but we're 250gold short. I am sure We came in the top 31-40% (750 gold), and we participated in the Alpha playoffs. We lost the first round, but there were only 15 people in out bracket. It says if we come in 9th-16th in ALPHA we get 250 gold. So I think there was a mistake made when WG paid our clan.

dance210: There is no mistake. The Group Stage and Playoffs are paid out separately. The Group Stage has been paid; the Playoffs have not. Your "missing" gold will be paid out within the next several days.

Walter_Sobchak, on Jul 29 2014 - 03:33, said: Over in the Modern armor tank lore section, some guy is saying that "At low RPMs the ATG-1500 bleeds turboshaft oil because as a turbine it does not seal until reaching higher RPMs. All tanks leak oil and even fuel on occasion but the ATG-1500 can require 10 gallons of turboshaft oil a day." I haven't seen this mentioned in anything I have ever read. Maybe someone with first hand experience has something to say in regards to this claim?

The_Chieftain: Yeah... no. Anything more than 2/3 quarts during a check would have raised an eyebrow.

dance210: Hey guys, To answer a few questions (in no particular order) 1. The battles will start at 7 pm PDT, same as the other group stages. 2. I am working on getting the groups up for all 3 days of group stage battles. This will let you know who you will be facing each day. Round 1 is already finished; Rounds 2 and 3 will be done soon :) 3. The groups will be new. You may face some of the same teams, but we're not trying to get y'all the same groups. As you have more questions, put them here. Just, be patient since it may take me a few to see them. Thanks guys!

Link on message: #7551846

Capitao_Desastre_: Na atualização 9.1 a camuflagem dos caça-tanques após disparar foi reduzida, e na próxima atualização serão introduzidas mudanças no FV215b 183 e no WT E-100. Temos também as mudanças introduzidas em alguns mapas tornando alguns dos locais de camperagem tradicionais menos viáveis. A minha pergunta é: esse rebalanceamento resultou ou não? E em caso de resposta negativa, o que poderia ser feito para reequilibrar as coisas? Dêem suas opiniões sobre o tema. Peço que mantenham a discussão limpa e educada.
