OMFG - I hadn't even thought of that... Holy sweet baby Yajweh! I'm going to have to "mark as read" everything the night before... Your right, I wouldn't want to be a mod that day, but the forums will probably provide almost as much entertainment as the bloody game (first day!).
I'm looking forward to the release and plan on pre-ordering! Had a lot of fun, actually got some questions answered from Devs - This Beta went a *HELL* of a lot better than some I've seen/participated in.
GOOD JOB WOT-Team!
Now... for release day....

zengoku, on 20 March 2011 - 08:49 AM, said: Lately in matches I noticed there seems to be little to no high tier arty. Is it me or does nobody want to play them?
My theory is the ROF seems ridiculously low and the aim time just as bad. I have some tier IV arty and it's already frustrating to play. Maybe the higher tier arty needs some reworking?

reaper71, on 11 January 2011 - 02:46 AM, said: Can some one explain to me how this tank is so great. I have only been playing a couple months so I am not all that experienced with the tanks. I see all these threads about how great it is but I have one and it gets one or two shoted every battle just about. I just dont see how this tank is all that great. I try and snipe but finding targets is almost impossible sometimes. Anyway if anyone has any advice how to make this tank better let me know cause right now I think it sucks.

Brimley, on 21 March 2011 - 04:22 AM, said: Anyone realize the MS-1 is a bit overpowered for its tier? Look at the 45mm and compare it with the browning 37 mm in the same tier. I've one-shotted so many people with this little tank it's not funny. Only challenge is a group and/or medium tanks.
Still prefer the T1 for speed though.

Tao, on 17 March 2011 - 02:29 AM, said: Simple LOS system fix:
I mention this idea because it is simple programming wise to implement and test.
I suggest that all tanks 'appear' to all players but without red highlighting, player name and type of tank.(no calculations to when a tank 'appears' to other players) Essentially this would have all enemy tanks be treated as ordinary parts of the map (no special identification). The terrain and camouflage of the tank skins should be enough to hide enemy tanks.
Simply create a new game type to allow players to voluntarily test this LOS system, and delete the code which identifies enemy tanks for this game type. Of course this system would need minor map changes and some work with graphics and lighting towards enemy tanks to be perfected.


Tao, on 20 March 2011 - 12:14 AM, said: I do not believe that this would put a new load on the server. In fact it should be the same or a reduced load since it uses the current system with some commands left out:
function make tank visible
{
(calculate view range and modifiers)
check distance to tank
is tank distance = view distance
if so then make tank visible
}
tanks are only made visible/invisible for artillery via radios. For non artillery players, all tanks are visible all the time (the system load is slightly decreased because it does not need to send this information to non artillery players)
********************
function tank identification
{
if cursor is over a player
highlight player with green or red
display player name
display tank type
display Hit points
}
leave this function out entirely (this reduces system load by eliminating boolean checks, and data to send to players)
**********************
This allows for a radically new view system for the players while doing minimal work for the devs. It isnt perfect, but it is worth a period to test with the players.
Anyway please pass this on to the devs or the suggestion forum. It cant hurt for them to spend 5 minutes reading these suggestions.

Barak, on 17 March 2011 - 10:03 PM, said: First of all, I would like to say that I have been playing since October.
I love the game and plan to continue playing it after the release.
I am thankful that I was given opportunity playing as a beta tester and I will be grateful if the developers give us beta players a gift tank. According to Overlord the tank possibly will be one of the existing US tanks since they don't have time to develop a new one.
I am assuming it might be Tier 5 (based on the Russian release) so that's where I am concentrating.
I would like to suggest it to be Ram II, since it is already a premium tank and a pretty good one.
Please, voice your opinion and suggestion.
Thank you.

JamesDean, on 18 March 2011 - 06:04 PM, said: Well I'd like Overlord to give us the stat on the track traverse. If this tank is going to be as slow as we all think, It would be nice to be able to turn decently fast especially considering all the tier 9 mediums. (I practically salivate when I see a lone tier 9 TD in my panther II.) Maybe the quad tracks can give that type of advantage?
1) maybe..
2) Most likely.............
The T95 is the most bad/// looking tank I've seen in this game, hands down. I can foresee people complaining about the front armor because their almighty BL-10 can't penetrate it
Even Overlord stated the tier 9 TD's are underperforming. Maybe he just meant the JT.

I rec'd a Valentine in a CBT bonus earlier....Not thinking of now..I sold it along the way. Dumb now, But, this is not really the way I thought this would be released. Will I get it back after the wipe or is there a way to reset the acct prior to wipe so I can receive??? Hate to lose it for the early grinding it was a credit farm master. I will be preordering but probably would like to have the heavy...It probably won't be as good early...........
Thanks,

Will the M18 90mm line be added at the same time as the T28/95?
There doesn't seem to even be any in game models of it .
Although I'm very eager to play the M18, if you told me that it won't, I won't mind as I know you guys are already working your arses off to get the basic tree out.
Thanks for an answer.

BOOSTEDSLED, on 18 March 2011 - 01:18 AM, said: OVERLORD
I have a question about the pre-release packages. Will they include an EXP/CREDIT multiplier like the Russian version did when it went live? I'm not talking about a premium account option for 50% increase on each match......but more like the 5x multiplier that we experienced for 3 days.
There were pictures in posts of your Russian server players getting $300k credits and 9000 experience per battle and it was brushed aside at that time as being an option in the pre-purchase choices for the Russian Server that went live. I hope that you will extend the same options to us when the pre-order options come out. I know for a fact you will interest more players in spending more money upfront if this is the case. It will also lead to long term proceeds because the high level tanks are almost impossible to support without a premium account.
Thanks for answering my question.

Overlord, a question for you. i know it hasn't been answered on this thread, and i haven't been able to find it on another thread. I understand that if we do pre-order that we get extra slot, this branches off into 2 questions, mostly for friends who are too busy to ask themselves, if we buy 2 of the pre-orders, will we receive 2 extra slots? Also, will we get an extra slot with the beta testers reward tank?
