Dlardrageth, on 05 February 2011 - 11:41 AM, said: No doubt that in the end they will do what is easier to code likely. Which might be three cloned maps with tiered clan wars. Bit less versatility maybe and will split up the playerbase some, but if it is gonna happen... *shrug* I think we can reasonably expect that noone who has even remotely a life will participate on all three of these maps if they split it up though. Apart from the obvious issue of having battles scheduled at exactly the same time due to good planning of enemy attacks.
Thus basically you will have to pick your choice of the three by the sounds of it and stick with it. Cannot say I really think it's a great solution, but well, we'll see. One issue might be taht with the split-up maps/CW the clan size might need a second thought. I mean, sure you can just clone your clan for each of the tiered CWs, as I doubt many clans of a max size of 100 would subjugate their players to be active on all three tiered maps.
On the other hand, if this tiered solution is to come, rethinking max clan size might be necessary? Assuming the clan can get 6 teams of 15 players each together, that would leave them with a mere 2 teams to compete on each of the three maps if they want to play all three. I somewhat doubt much could be achieved with that number...

wiater, on 05 February 2011 - 12:42 PM, said: Hi
I made an account and installed the game, and i realized later on that im on US server. High ping is starting to bugging me pretty bad, so I thought i can just switch to EU one. But its not so easy it seems....
1) I've uninstalled the game, downloaded eu client, tried to use my login/pass and I'm getting wrong email/password message and I cant log in
2) I've tried to start a new EU account, I've used the same mail adress, same character name, and I got a message to check my mailbox for a confirmation mail. I never received any, I tried this many times, and it seems that my account is waiting for confirmation for next 24hours (i cannot use same login/pass to start a new one again, it shows me that this is already occupied). But since im not getting any email, I cant confirm it, so it is beign erased from the system after one day
3) I've tried to start a new EU account with totally different email/character name etc. Same thing happens as above, I'm not receiving any confirmation mail
My question is: what im doing wrong ? Why cant we just log in on 2 different servers with same login/pass without any problems ?
And can anyone from support staff move me to the EU ? I like this game a lot, it doesnt bother me yet, since its beta, but i just cant imagine myself beign stuck to US server after official release... 150ping all the time is no fun at all

Shijirou, on 05 February 2011 - 07:32 AM, said: Btw, before I start, let me just say that having us go to a certain post count before posting in a section is uncessary. Anyway to my real concern.
I wanted to know if this situation is bannable. We were about to start a game and after the countdown, went to our desired positions. I'm on a Luch light tank btw. I obviously had the speed and was moving into position when out of nowhere a teammate with a T-26 hits me on the side and we're both tracked. I knew I wasn't at fault but heck I said sorry anyway. And what I got in response? He fires a round at my back brining my health down to 40%. So naturally I complain, then this other guy butts in the conversation and says "you're more harm to the team than the enemy, you're better off dead." I was like, wth, and explained my situation. Then he tells me to STFU. Naturally, I became defensive and my temper got the better of me and I end up telling him to FU too since he didn't see what happened. Now this guy who happens to be in an SU-76 came up to me and killed me. So, to cut things short I was killed by my own teammate.
Can this guy be banned? I have screenshots. Is it worth the time reporting him?

5,473 Topics
Understandably the busiest section of the forum for obvious reasons, but, whats next on the list?
Junkyard
5,093 Topics
Seriously?, i can understand there was some mistakes with the forum split, but 5000 odd topics, really? no other section even comes close.
Im not having a go, but my question is after scanning through this section, 8/10 topics could have just been moved to the correct area, instead of getting outright canned, how is this helping a budding community? most peoples topics are new/first posters, wheres the slack?
What i see, is im playing a beta multiplayer game, that means to me, im not only testing the game, but im also testing how the community may pan out...and also, how the community leaders, devs & moderators treat the average consumer, yes consumer, since ultimately this game is made to turn a profit, the thing that worries me is, i am a veteran of pirates of the burning sea, which started out ALOT like wot, albeit its ships in the carribean, but essentially it was the same, small dev studio, game with endless potential, alot of interest etc, but where the game went wrong, was not the game itself, it was the moderation/administration....it got to the point of being straight out slugging matches between devs and game heavyweights, and i recall very well when a certain aspect of the game was 'fixed' to spite a certain group of players that had legitmate concerns but the dev team were stonewalling beyond belief.
Now with that said, i am not stating that this game is reflective of that in any way, at this stage, what does concern me is the way the forums come across at the moment is if you say something that may have been said else where, or talk about a hot topic (you know the ones) regardless if its your first time ever being on the forums or not, your hit with a lock, robotic response, and or depending on how your csr is feeling, ro or not, i dont get the feeling of players talking with devs at all, now, this may be influenced alot by years of eve online, but for a game in testing, relatively small and just now really starting to be noticed, things are turning whitewash and corporate well before they should, sure theres posts from devs stating known issues and alot of basic information, but theres no real dev to player discussion occuring, anywhere, maybe on the russian forums maybe, but theres none here.
So tell me, what exacltly are YOU, the moderators, the devs, wargaming in general, wanting from your community? is this a beta? i see alot of closed topics refer to 'just voicing opinion'.....isnt that afterall, what we are here to do? 'undesirable' opions are still a view from a playing potential customer on the other end of your game, everyone here signed up for this, we werent shoved a copy and a gun placed against our head, people chose to try your game, and tell you how they feel about it, why is this sighted as a bad thing more and more often?
Remember, the best communities, are the where the player feels interactive and valued

jackal40, on 04 February 2011 - 03:46 PM, said: Sorry, but I didn't see where the poster said anything about weekly patches - he merely stated that the patching process has been very slow.
From my own previous software development support (I managed the servers at the company), we NEVER had multiple patches in progress concurrently. Our average patch cycle was four to five days and there was extensive communication with the end user.
You state that information flow will become larger in the next few weeks, can we hope that this will include the plan to fix spotting/invisible tanks?

ed_anger, on 03 February 2011 - 09:47 PM, said: yes, in EVE there is an advantage to attacking at an offtime, because you decide to attack when you have a numbers advantage and the element of surprise, there is no "set" battle times.
in WoT the best you can do is attack a different time zone in their primetime, in your own off-time. it will never give you an advantage, and will always be awkward. will it happen? sure, if someone wants to commit to fighting in an awkward time slot for them from then on, to hold territory across the map. anyway, it's been gone over several times now.

Tourist Guide to the Maps of WoT said: Written By: Ripper753 "Division Acorazada 250"
Abbey Tourist Guide
Abbey, the most religious map in WoT. Seems that war is plenty of churches and cathedrals, ¿why not to crush an abbey? In this beautyful landscape you will have two main paths to choose from, its not easy to decide. Make your choice!
Guide Map:

1.- "The Hidden Shortcut". If you want to reach the other side of the abbey without being seen, take this path. But be careful, many others can have the same idea. Move next to the wall!
2.- "The Unused Street". Yeah, nobody uses this street. The asphalt is new and some bushes have grown at the ends. Some people that lived in that street moved because the pizza boy didn't want to go there.
3.- "The Back Alley". Not very used neither. The monks empty the wc tanks there. It is not very nice to pass through there, a bit smelly and deadly.
4.- "The Marginated Bell Tower". The monk in charge had smelly feet (also known as the stinky monk), and the others built the bell tower far enough. Nice place to visit if you just want to wait.
5.- "Main Street". This street leads to the upper side of the abbey. Is the fastes way to reach the other side of the abbey, but life is not guaranteed.
6.- "The Scaler House". There lives the scaler monk. He dont use the streets to go home, he climb the cliff. Good place to visit if you are a voyeur.
7.- "The Bitten Steak Hill". That hill have many skeletons buried there. Heavy fights ocurred there, and in most cases the killed one was surrounded. Reconstruction of the name origin below.

8.- "The Dead Land". Not really nice piece of earth. The monks throw the trash there, so nobody go there. Now someone want to build a supermarket or a mall.
9.- "The annoying Balconies". The hill is plenty of balconies where the people sit and spit down. Really annoying to be below, but funny to be up there.
10.- "The Romanic Coumns". It leads to nowhere. Well yes, it leads to a cliff, so nobody use this path. But many people go there to see the columns and the landscape. It is typical to see one guy up there shouting "Hey! I am up here".

Tourist Guide to the Maps of WoT said:
Written By: Ripper753 "Division Acorazada 250"

Abbey Tourist Guide

Abbey, the most religious map in WoT. Seems that war is plenty of churches and cathedrals, ¿why not to crush an abbey? In this beautyful landscape you will have two main paths to choose from, its not easy to decide. Make your choice!

Guide Map:


1.- "The Hidden Shortcut". If you want to reach the other side of the abbey without being seen, take this path. But be careful, many others can have the same idea. Move next to the wall!

2.- "The Unused Street". Yeah, nobody uses this street. The asphalt is new and some bushes have grown at the ends. Some people that lived in that street moved because the pizza boy didn't want to go there.

3.- "The Back Alley". Not very used neither. The monks empty the wc tanks there. It is not very nice to pass through there, a bit smelly and deadly.

4.- "The Marginated Bell Tower". The monk in charge had smelly feet (also known as the stinky monk), and the others built the bell tower far enough. Nice place to visit if you just want to wait.

5.- "Main Street". This street leads to the upper side of the abbey. Is the fastes way to reach the other side of the abbey, but life is not guaranteed.

6.- "The Scaler House". There lives the scaler monk. He dont use the streets to go home, he climb the cliff. Good place to visit if you are a voyeur.

7.- "The Bitten Steak Hill". That hill have many skeletons buried there. Heavy fights ocurred there, and in most cases the killed one was surrounded. Reconstruction of the name origin below.

http://img152.images...61/steakart.jpg

8.- "The Dead Land". Not really nice piece of earth. The monks throw the trash there, so nobody go there. Now someone want to build a supermarket or a mall.

9.- "The annoying Balconies". The hill is plenty of balconies where the people sit and spit down. Really annoying to be below, but funny to be up there.

10.- "The Romanic Coumns". It leads to nowhere. Well yes, it leads to a cliff, so nobody use this path. But many people go there to see the columns and the landscape. It is typical to see one guy up there shouting "Hey! I am up here".

Quote The vehicle is being finalized at this time. 300mm front hull armor confirmed. Should be rather slow one, but with very powerful gun.

Tourist Guide to the Maps of WoT said:
Written By: Ripper753 "Division Acorazada 250"

Abbey Tourist Guide

Abbey, the most religious map in WoT. Seems that war is plenty of churches and cathedrals, ¿why not to crush an abbey? In this beautyful landscape you will have two main paths to choose from, its not easy to decide. Make your choice!

Guide Map:


1.- "The Hidden Shortcut". If you want to reach the other side of the abbey without being seen, take this path. But be careful, many others can have the same idea. Move next to the wall!

2.- "The Unused Street". Yeah, nobody uses this street. The asphalt is new and some bushes have grown at the ends. Some people that lived in that street moved because the pizza boy didn't want to go there.

3.- "The Back Alley". Not very used neither. The monks empty the wc tanks there. It is not very nice to pass through there, a bit smelly and deadly.

4.- "The Marginated Bell Tower". The monk in charge had smelly feet (also known as the stinky monk), and the others built the bell tower far enough. Nice place to visit if you just want to wait.

5.- "Main Street". This street leads to the upper side of the abbey. Is the fastes way to reach the other side of the abbey, but life is not guaranteed.

6.- "The Scaler House". There lives the scaler monk. He dont use the streets to go home, he climb the cliff. Good place to visit if you are a voyeur.

7.- "The Bitten Steak Hill". That hill have many skeletons buried there. Heavy fights ocurred there, and in most cases the killed one was surrounded. Reconstruction of the name origin below.

8.- "The Dead Land". Not really nice piece of earth. The monks throw the trash there, so nobody go there. Now someone want to build a supermarket or a mall.

9.- "The annoying Balconies". The hill is plenty of balconies where the people sit and spit down. Really annoying to be below, but funny to be up there.

10.- "The Romanic Coumns". It leads to nowhere. Well yes, it leads to a cliff, so nobody use this path. But many people go there to see the columns and the landscape. It is typical to see one guy up there shouting "Hey! I am up here".

M_Doyle, on 31 January 2011 - 07:19 PM, said: Well as we all know the job of the light tank is usually to scout and find enemy positions. However another job is to Spot, Harrass and kill enemy artillery. Today my A-20 did just that.
My A-20 went flying across the battlefield to the enemy base, and lo and behold I found an enemy M7 priest in a bush, However he was not alone, he had an M7 medium (ironic no) Guarding him, so after my first shot i took cover. The M7 priest who wast trying ot turn to hit me to be exact, and like i hoped the M7 didn't hit me, infact he hit is own artillery and killed it.
Now, was doing that Ethicly wrong and will it land the poor chap in trouble or was it smart thinking on my behalf and a nice use of Enemies as cover?

Same yesterday as well.
Waits of 16 minutes are common and with tank destroyers , even longer.

M_Doyle, on 02 February 2011 - 08:17 PM, said: My panzer IV took a two shots last battle, first ignited a fire & the second killed. But take a look at what the fire managed to do in all of about 2-5 seconds...
Somewhat excessive no? 7 components destroyed in all of 2-5 seconds and a loss of about 250hp.
How much damage should fire do? How quickly should it destroy components, how many?
What's your opinions here people? I think this definately needs to be reduced.
