I think you'll be ok. You northeasterners need to learn how to take a storm.

Hypnotik: Thanks Judo for the quick response.

Captain_Judo: Round 5 is allowed Tier VII lights. The tournament page has been edited to reflect this. Thanks for noticing  

Hypnotik: There's an issue with Round 5's tanks

From the News Post and this topic:

Round 5:  Tier IX (59 points max)
Heavy: Tier IX
Medium: Tier IX
Tank Destoyer: Tier IX
Light: Tier VII
SPG: Tier VII

From the Tournament Section:

Round 5:  Tier IX (59 points max)
Heavy: Tier IX
Medium: Tier IX
Tank Destoyer: Tier IX
Light: Tier VIII
SPG: Tier VII

Do we get tier 8 light tanks in the 5th round, or tier 7?

Mugsy_: Hello everyone!
There are many spectacular suggestions here and I'll wrap em up into a report and send them upwards for review and discussion. Thanks for your time and your thoughtfulness.
Send me a friend request, maybe we can platoon sometime soon.

Mugsy_: Civil is when people treat one another with basic human decency. That doesn't mean one cannot express frustrations, disappointments or anger. It just has to be done in a manner that is mutually respectful. Sometimes attitude can prevent effective expression of ideas and content. Frankly, it is a waste of everyone's time to attempt dialog under those conditions.
The Q and A thread will be relaunched with the 8.1 update to resemble the EU's approach, which I personally think is more organized and more strictly moderated.
Right now it is too messy and not dispensing information in a clear and organized manner. My last post on the existing Q+A thread was Oct. 17th. I hope to post many answers early next week.
The suggestion board is a great resource for us, it is a place to listen to what players want and potentially need, how they are experiencing our game, where our short comings and strengths lay. Obviously, we have to consider suggestions carefully but even when we don't take a suggestion exactly as it is posed, it may inspire a tangential idea which can address the same frustration points or issues our community faces. I disagree that no player suggestions have ever been made a reality in our game, however, I do agree that I would like to see a more collaborative relationship between our community and our game's development. So here I am. Listening, asking questions. I am available through PM any time. If anyone reading this has an idea, a gripe, a question you can drop me a line. As I said, I will relaunch the Q+A thread in a more user friendly format with 8.1 and I hope to be able to resolve large questions shared by many folks.

Mugsy_:
haha Aww... I can't say, just in case it gets postponed. But soon. ~ Mugsy_

Mugsy_: Hello everyone,
Reading through this thread I see a lot of good questions. Following the release of 8.1 the Q+A thread (pinned at the top of the Gameplay discussion section) will be updated and will be the perfect place to post such questions and receive a response. We want to create an organized, centralized location for questions and answers.
Hope to see your questions there.

dance210: Hey, policy states that it could take up to 24 hr for gold transactions to go through. I've had the gold in my account withing 10 min and I've also had it take several hours to be credited. If it went through on your card, please try and be patient; it will eventually show up.
From what I've seen on the forums, submitting a ticket to support disputing the gold transaction or canceling the charge on your card could very likely cause your WoT account to be temporarily suspended. This seems to be true for any financial dispute (ie buying a premium vehicle then disputing the charge if the vehicle doens't show in the garage). Good luck!

Agrona: Hooray, I knew we could do it!! Thank you all for your support you guys rock!

dance210: Congrats Wargaming!

Agrona: Yes, you can edit up the tank footage, add noises and special effects. The only rules are that it is WOT footage (mostly) and that it is around the 1 minute mark

Agrona: Yes, but I would like to keep it minimal. Most of the footage should be from WOT, little clips here and there is fine, but I would prefer most if not all WOT footage.
If there is only just a little WOT footage it probably won't get selected.

Gaea: Yay we won, we won!!! Thanks to all of you that voted for us - we definitely could not have done it without you!
*victory dance!*

Hypnotik: Learn to play the Lowe right and you'll earn tons with it. I've even had a few 180k credit games in mine.

Vallter: You will be able to use it till November 9th

Vallter: World of Tanks project became the winner of the most prestigious award in the gaming industry - Golden Joystick, Best MMO nomination. To show our gratitude for the support our community has brought to World of Tanks we’re inviting all of our players to partake in the Golden Joystick Celebration!

GeneralDirection: At some point we will invent the time machine, and then we can go back in time and move the Second Battle of El Alamein to November 18th or something. Then when 2012 rolls around we'll be able to release the British tech tree on all clusters before the special! ;)
No I am not stating that 8.1 is releasing on November 18th.

Mugsy_: Lots of good suggestions here, I am gonna sit back a bit and see what others think. ~ Mugsy_

Mugsy_: Hey Captain Hotdog, Thanks for your suggestion. So I understand completely, is your suggestion to discourage TKing by rewarding those who don't go blue for some period of time. ~ Mugsy_

Mugsy_: Do you think if there were more rewards for smaller goals (100th battle, 500th, 1000th per vehicle, account, class or nation), achievements, medals, and consecutive days of play the tedium of grinding would be easier on you?

Mugsy_: I understand it can be frustrating to play with many people of varying skill. We are working to launch a Mentoring Program / Tank Academy in the spirit of Lord_Farquad's previous endeavors and we hope to give everyone access to mentors and resources to improve the quality of their playing. Additionally, as the game continues to grow and we have more end game content, organized play, and eSports there will be a larger arena for highly skilled players to square off.

Mugsy_:
haha I try to discuss things wherever they pop up, as long as the atmosphere is civil. ~ Mugsy_

Mugsy_:
Yes, achievements, medals and such having in game value is something that has been suggested and discussed. I don't know at this time if it will be approved for development yet. ~ Mugsy_

Mugsy_: I think the spirit of the idea, if I'm not mistaken, is that the reward would grow relative to the number of consecutive days played.

Hypnotik: There's a tier 8 premium for 1200 gold? Where do I get one?

Mugsy_: I hear what you're saying. You'd like a reward or incentive for players who log in every day and play battles.
What other things could we offer other than gold?
~ Mugsy_

Mugsy_: Hello everyone,
Please remember the Suggestions section is intended to be a place to post actual suggestions.
~ Mugsy_

Captain_Judo: Yes. Always a maximum, never a minimum  

Captain_Judo: I'd apply these checks for round 1:Do we have no more than 7 tanks?
Are heavies, mediums and tank destroyers Tier V or below?
Are lights Tier IV or below?
Are artillery Tier III or below?
Is the total tier points equal to or less than 31?
Are all tanks of the same nationality? Given the information you provided, all you have left is to ensure that all tanks are of the same nationality

Mugsy_: We discussed the multi-turrent issue in the Q and A thread. Basically, it is on our development wish list of things we want to do, but because it will affect relatively few tanks it keeps getting put on the back burners to more urgent projects. But is definitely an idea we are fascinated by and interested in incorporating. ~ Mugsy_

GeneralDirection: That makes it kind of a big deal. ;)

Captain_Judo: A quick thank you to all the team captains providing replays and continuing to provide us with terrific feedback.

Captain_Judo: Lord_Farquad and myself have heard the community's grievance. We're happy to announce that the prizing has been raised for this skirmish only. We hope this increases this wonderful tournament idea's appeal.

Captain_Judo: In regards to my words you quoted, my point stands that there's no need to disparage the tournament idea itself.
We hear the community's response. Several months ago a creative "tournament idea" contest offered the winner the opportunity to see their tournament officially applied. We only have room for such unique tournament concepts in our weekly, skirmish format. This is the reason why we prepared Skirmish XXII this way.
This tournament simply takes the place of Skirmish XXII and we understand that it is not a typical skirmish. It's simply in place of it.
With that said, we appreciate the eSports community's patience and understanding. Lord_Farquad and I will discuss the prizing considering this tournament's complexity.

Captain_Judo: With all due respect, Verilogus, I don't mind when someone slams me or my work. I'm built for that. However, I absolutely won't tolerate degrading another player's (albeit successful) creative work. Feel free to insult me. But there's no need to berate the tournament idea itself.

Agrona: Yes, the correct information and shots were sent in just fine.
