Tanitha: Refering to 1945 is probably fine.
Angels are probably fine.
heaven is probably fine.
Harrypotter is probably prohibited due to the copyright rulings. But its a new ruling, so I'll let this slide for now. But the player should rename to avoid problems later.
SpetsnazGuard seems fine.
WarDog420 has been acted on.
BangBro has been acted on.
**Also please note that the naming rules quoted above are outdated.
+ stonedcold_420 was renamed to stonedcold_421 in the forums.
+ Several people in this thread should have been forum muted for offtopic posting. However there is a 7 day limit for such action, so they were lucky.

Tanitha: When the servers are joined for a global world map, that global map
will have battles at the time of the land. But this will not be
soon.
Until then your only option is to have two accounts. One for playing with your us friends on the USA server & one for playing clanwars in the Eu timezone on the EU server.
Closing the thread since there is no other options to discuss.

Tanitha: Everything important is handled server side, so can not be edited
or altered to gain a advantage.
The only edits that can be done client side is to the local graphics which is handled client side, which doesn't effect anything server side.
Currently there is.
1. A tracer alteration, leaving tracer graphics on the screen longer and a bright color. (Which is no longer useful since the tracers are off until this is protected)
2. A local graphics edit removing the ground etc. (No advantages)
3. Skins/Chams. No real advantage + the skins are legal.
These local client side alterations are the only ones I'm aware of (And I do spend a lot of time investigating it).
There is nothing to invis a tank, Or increase field of view.
Closing the thread. If any real cheats or hacks are ever made in the future, please forward the details to support.worldoftanks.com

Tanitha: Hi.. Ive never played either. But ive played 10,000 games in high
tier heavies, so i hope you dont mind me replying anyway.
IMO the 704 hits a lot harder, so its a better TD if you are camping/defending and sniping at range, with cammo.
IE id prefer to get hit by a JadgTiger than a 704.
The 704 is easier to kill though. So..
Depends on your style.

Tanitha: If you have the tank on your team the point is to protect them.
That is what you get paid to do.
Tk'ing will result in a 15 day game ban, for breaking the game rules and losing their team mates cash.
As for tier 8-10, That was edited straight after i posted it, sorry.
The guarding tank, or two tanks, can be from T2-10. Hopefully they are balanced so they spread equally throughout the games.

Tanitha: The main reason is to keep the game balanced..
If the cheat is allowed to be used, the cheaters will gain an advantage over the fair players. No-one wants to see cheaters prosper..
This has a high impact on things like clanwars. Its not nice a clan being able to dominate on the clanwars map, and steal land (and thus gold) off other clans by cheating..
Team v's team, and clan v's clan, is now back to being fair..
Unfortunately it was a nice feature of the game, and the game is "less" than it used to be... And its harder for heavies, and harder to counter arty now..
But at least the clanwars is fair..
Hopefully 6.5 comes out asap with a appropriate long term fix, or better still a quick emergency patch-in being made available asap would be nice as well.
If the cheat is allowed to be used, the cheaters will gain an advantage over the fair players. No-one wants to see cheaters prosper..
This has a high impact on things like clanwars. Its not nice a clan being able to dominate on the clanwars map, and steal land (and thus gold) off other clans by cheating..
Team v's team, and clan v's clan, is now back to being fair..

ribbing.. So the moderators are under the instructions to give this
section a little more leeway than usual. That being said, anything
that crosses the line will be hit as normal, just we will try to
allow the line to stretch a bit...

Vallter: ionviol2,
I almost agree with your list of problems and mistakes we have done. With your permission, I will make some comments on them:
- delayed 6.4 patch
This was the biggest patch we ever released. And we wanted it to be the most polished and finished. And I can say, that we have proceeded on the new level of quality with this patch.
I can say over and over again, that we will do our best to release the patch in June. But the are only two things, that can prove it - patience and time. We are working in the direction of frequently releasing of patches. But we can't to it in a flash. Only with your trust we will succeed.
- afkers/leechers, botters (pending fix)
http://forum.worldof...ers-6-may-2011/
Our automatic system reveals a great amount of users, who use bot programs every day. We are cleaning our servers from them. But still, it is not possible to make a final solution for the problem. The fight with this violations is infinite, like the war between Good and Evil.
- lag (recently fixed, one week+ elapsed time)
Unfortunately, we were not able to solve this problems. Because this was not our issue and there was no way to affect on the situation.
- shell tracer cheaters (24 hours to put up a notification, unacceptable ETA announced)
We beg our pardon for the delay in the announcement. Also, we tried to fix the issue in 6.4 . But our defence was hacked. And now we want to close the case in 6.5 This situation is different from point 2. We CAN make a final solution for tracer-hack.

into the higher tier games.
So, a hotchkiss wouldn't stand up to the higher tanks very well and they are very slow.
If I end up driving a ryze tank, id pick a T2 light premium if i can.

Nothing to do.. Just if you are online and playing in random battles you have a small chance to come across one of the event games within that time period.
Have fun and good luck.

I am sorry but I strongly disagree. I have paid for stuff to support the game, and I want to play it full feature, not lose an arm over a couple of cheaters. Cheaters are your problem, and not mine as a customer.
What is being done right now is along the lines of removing chocolate bars from the bags of your customers (after being already bought) as well as the shelves of the store because of a couple of free riders who were jacking a couple of them.
From a business perspective, it is bad enough you failed to identify and prevent this type of cheating back in recent beta (which lasted for a year), now it is even worse you are hurting your own community over things you have failed to address when you should.
Be smart and do the right thing by addressing this asap, as opposed to waiting for a couple of months and let the revenue figures do the math for you.
Allow me to stress that, not only a lost customer is lost forever, but it he is always a guaranteed negative word of mouth advertising for you. Once word will get out you handle cheater instances so poorly, it ain't take long for bad reputation to build. And bad reputation sticks like lice.

I am sorry but I strongly disagree. I have paid for stuff to support the game, and I want to play it full feature, not lose an arm over a couple of cheaters. Cheaters are your problem, and not mine as a customer.
What is being done right now is along the lines of removing chocolate bars from the bags of your customers (after being already bought) as well as the shelves of the store because of a couple of free riders who were jacking a couple of them.
From a business perspective, it is bad enough you failed to identify and prevent this type of cheating back in recent beta (which lasted for a year), now it is even worse you are hurting your own community over things you have failed to address when you should.
Be smart and do the right thing by addressing this asap, as opposed to waiting for a couple of months and let the revenue figures do the math for you.
Allow me to stress that, not only a lost customer is lost forever, but it he is always a guaranteed negative word of mouth advertising for you. Once word will get out you handle cheater instances so poorly, it ain't take long for bad reputation to build. And bad reputation sticks like lice.

We are trying to improve this situation. The delay of the previous patch was caused by redevelopment of the server side (unfortunately, this does not protect us from all lag issues, that can be caused by problems of our partners). We wanted to make the server stable and ready for the Ultimate Conquest. Now, when it is finished, we are able to make patches faster. And we will do our best to release it in the middle of June.

We understand your problems and can only ask you for patience.
Also we can assure you, that all purchased 'gold' features (Premium account, tanks, etc) remained the same. So no harm was done to the thing you bought.

would be the most appropriate. Ufortunately thats late nights for
NZ, makes it midnight there.

now, any events that I have anything to do with, I'll try to
schedule for 1 hour earlier than before.

Midday UTC = 7pm Indonesia time
Midday UTC = 8pm West Australia / China time / Philippine time.
Midday UTC = 10pm East Australia time
Midday UTC = midnight New Zealand
My apologize to the New Zealand for it being late for them.
1 hour earlier due to..
1. There is no maintenance there, there is 2 hours earlier.
2. 2 hours earlier was the most popular, 1 hour earlier is in between what it was, and what was most popular.
3. 2 hour earlier doesn't exclude the Indonesians/asians due to them working still.
