Captain_Judo: You still haven't submitted this team for approval:

The others look like they were just recently submitted for approval. If you want the team above to play, it must be submitted for approval.

Captain_Judo: That would only happen if your team wasn't submitted for approval. Teams must be submitted for approval in order to participate in this event. Simply creating a team won't cut it. If you signed up for tournaments this rest of the weekend, I suggest you submit them for approval before registration closes (in a matter of minutes).

Captain_Judo: Unfortunately, it's not that simple and not nearly that fast. The event begins in 30 minutes.

Jewel_Thief: Hamsters, plural...  

Jewel_Thief: Hey folks,
We had a major forum update two days ago-- among the fixes was a rebuild to the "My Content" database... Everything on that front should be good to go now. :D
Happy posting!!!

Jewel_Thief: Yes, between the hours of midnight and 6am, Pacific time. :P

Jewel_Thief: Support is online for 18 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. However, we have nearly 200 tickets in queue on this particular issue. These tickets take a bit of time... and we answer tickets in the order in which they are received.
Please keep an eye on your email inbox, since we will need a "confirmation" from you before we can finalize the process... and continue to be patient with us as we work through this queue. :)

Captain_Judo: Yes, but this is the final night. There will be few teams at this point and we can work with individual schedules as we have in the past.

Captain_Judo: ^This man certainly does not come short of experience

Captain_Judo: I want to chime in to point out that the playoffs are not random. They follow a standard seeding where team #1 plays team #64, team #2 plays team #63, etc.. and the top 4 teams are separated in different semifinal brackets, the top 8 teams are separated in different quarterfinals brackets, etc..

ChrisK: Additional Information (May 24, 2013) [Also added to original post]
As promised, Michael (Storm) has sent some clarifications regarding the information we have published recently:
DISABLED TRACERS
Tracers will be disabled for all vehicles, except for SPGs. This means that tracers from SPGs will still be visible for everyone, just as it currently is in the game. However, when in strategic aiming mode (using the map), we’ve limited the area where tracers from invisible vehicles is shown. To see them, you must be close to the point where they originate from.
As part of this process, we have also removed the tracers from your own shots. Don’t worry too much about this, since we’ll probably bring it back with the 0.8.6 release, maybe even along with the tracers of your allies’ shots.
NERFING HEAT SHELLS
As announced previously, this is still planned. A detailed list of the changes will be shared closer to the release date.
100% TRAINED CREW FOR NEW ACCOUNTS
These will be available only for the Tier 1 tanks that come with account creation. This feature will not be applied to any newly purchased Tier 1 vehicles.
CHANGES IN GAME ECONOMY
The income of all vehicles from Tier V to the Tier X, except SPGs, will be increased. The changes will also be applied to Premium vehicles.
    Premium tanks up to Tier VIII will be equivalent to the most profitable Tier VIII vehicles. The income of less profitable vehicles will be increased.
    The income of other Tier VIII vehicles will remain unchanged
OPTIMIZATION OF SNIPER MODE VIEW
This is just a mechanism for reticle stabilization in sniper mode. It helps a lot during aiming on railroads, crushed fences, and other rough terrain. You can fire faster, since you won’t have to wait until the tank stabilizes itself on this difficult terrain. It’s really useful and after internal tests we decided to implement it.
NEW PREMIUM TANKS
In 8.6 we will add the long expected Tier V Heavy A33 Excelsior tank. But we won’t add the Sexton, because there will be too many changes for SPGs in the next update and we want to analyze their performance first.
USING IN-GAME PHYSICS
“A mechanism was added, which allows determining what bonuses (XP, credits, frag count) will be granted for damaging or killing tanks using physics (pushing into water or from cliffs etc.) and who should receive them.”
This sentence means that there is not only a mechanism, but that this actually works. We will provide you with more details in further patch notes.
SUPER-HEAVY SPALL LINER
    USSR: KV-4, KV-5
    Germany: GW typ E, Jagdtiger8,8 , Jagdtiger, JagdPz E-100, VK4502 B, Maus, Lowe, E-75, E-100, VK7201
    USA: T95, Т110Е3
    Britain: Tortoise, FV215b, TOG II*
If any of these tanks has a spall liner installed, it will be automatically changed to the new super-heavy version, which will be moved to your depot. We’ll move it there first, since the new spall liner weighs 1.5 times more, and may not be compatible with your current vehicle set-up.
NEW CAMOUFLAGE MECHANICS
Prior to the update we will release a separate document about these new mechanics. Stay tuned.
TURRET SHIFT FOR E-100
The turret on the E-100 will be shifted forward by about 30 cm (scaled).

dance210: Yes, you can buy back 1 premium tank that was previously sold, if you have the garage slot and credits available. You can try checking herefor more information, if you would like :)

Jewel_Thief: It's a "Perk" for the Commander...
See here. :)
Happy tanking!
~JT

Jewel_Thief: Looks like this was figured out. Thanks for the input everyone. Going to close up the thread. :)
Happy tanking!
~JT

Jewel_Thief: Glad to hear it!!
As a warning to others:   please do not "bump" your tickets... If you reply to your ticket before we have a chance to scoop it up, our system will treat it like a "new" ticket, and it will be bumped to the "end" of the queue... ... ... As we answer tickets in the order in which they are received, it will take us longer to get to your ticket. :(
Please send in ONE ticket, and then wait patiently-- we will get back to you just as soon as we are able.

Jewel_Thief: Sorry, ohsi-- I have nearly 400 PMs right now... trying to dig my way out-- if it's urgent, please send a ticket in to Support. :(
Best,
~JT

Jewel_Thief: Yep-- this is an inquiry for our Support team. Please send in a ticket to Support, and they will do what they can to help you. :)
Good luck!!
~JT

Jewel_Thief: I will admit, if I didn't already own half of those tanks, I'd do it. ;)     (But I love me a TD   )

Jewel_Thief: oh boy-- well, I am planning on dying it red towards the end of summer... something like this.   ::shrugs::  we'll see...

Jewel_Thief: ^^this. Please check your Service Record in-game.

Jewel_Thief: :(  Patience-- this is now a policy, it will be around.

Jewel_Thief: Awwww shucks-- I didn't have anything to do with this decision... But I'm always happy to answer questions where I can.  
Happy tanking, folks.

CatStalker: This looks like it may be accurate.
You will need to download the game version from the EU website, as the NA client and EU clients are not compatible.

Major_Rampage: Don't forget the Tetrarch is included.

Major_Rampage: We don't always run the same gift shops and events,  but thanks for the heads up I will take a look at it.

Major_Rampage: I am glad you appreciate it.
