Captain_Judo: For the second straight week, we have a new skirmish winner!
Congratulations Dance with no pants on, winners of Skirmish XXVII, defeating World Klass Assassins 3:1
Dance with no pants on is lead by Team Captain, PaulFoley, with the majority of their team belonging to clan [-_-] Enjoy. Skirmish XXVII offered a new tactical approach with its 3 vs. 3 layout. But Dance with no pants on showed they excel in this format and are now the team to beat in 3 on 3 tanks!

Mugsy_: Certainly everything has to fit into the development plan, things
get re-arranged constantly, priorities shift, but in my time here I
have seen player suggestions become game realities, so if we're
patient we'll see changes and improvements come for clan
leadership.

Thanks Fishrokk, that is the exact link I was going to share as well. There is a very thorough and ongoing discussion about UI features that you should take part in. I am documenting all these ideas and suggestions.

utterly.
http://forum.worldof...13#entry3252713
Specifically I am angry that the promised fix to the Matilda Armour in this patch did not include the Matilda Black Prince. The original Matilda now has increased armour (as it should) but the premium Matilda Black Prince a tier higher and using the identical hull has LESS armour.
Is that meant to make any kind of sense at all?

Mugsy_: If you post an idea and I don't get to it for whatever reason,
please feel free to PM me a link or mention "Mugsy" in it and I'll
be summoned.
Though, to be honest, balance related suggestions and arguments are very complex and I will be really only able to document your complaint and pass it onward.

Thanks for the suggestion Ettanin. We are always looking for ways to improve our game and protect the gameplay from agitators.
I will note this idea and forward it to the appropriate channels.
I don't get much time on weekends to check the boards so please be patient, I will check thoroughly during the week. If you want to ensure it gets seen either shoot me a PM with a link or mention "Mugsy" in it and it'll act like the bat signal.

GeneralDirection: 'Never' is a pretty risky word to use. I actually contemplated
changing it to a 60% bonus for January to see how that went.
Ultimately we decided to return to the original format for the event because it felt weird and was very confusing to players since we've run these events in a specific format since the summer.
