DomoSapien:   The code will be super cheap. All I ask is that you give me the blood of your firstborn and sacrifice a lamb.

Jokes aside though, not sure what you're referring to with Twitter, we didn't post any codes to Twitter in February. The entire scavenger hunt was run by Community Contributors via their Twitch and Youtube channels.   Penultimatum on Reddit was kind enough to keep a megathread up with links to all of the Scavenger Hunt codes and their corresponding channels, and I suspect he or another industrious player will do the same next month.
 

DomoSapien:   I've definitely been paying attention to everyone's feedback. Two things we hope to implement next month which should make it a whole lot more streamlined:
1) Tracking - We're still chatting with the event engineers to determine precisely how we can accomplish this, but ideally we want to have a method for you to track exactly how many codes you've redeemed. There will definitely be some form of tracking, I'm just not 100% sure exactly how robust it will be, yet.
2) Schedule - There will either be a master schedule posted at the beginning of the month, or an article that gets updated daily with information on where you need to go (and at what time) to get the Scavenger Hunt code.

And then sort of a bonus extra point #3) Timing - We plan on having the missions run concurrently with the Scavenger Hunt for the duration of the month. Gathering codes an entire month, only to find out that the codes trigger missions during a weekend where you happen to be busy and can't play WoT? Super unsatisfying. Having the missions run all month will mitigate that.

KRZYBooP:  

KRZYBooP:   I know that there weren't many changes from 9.18 that didn't directly affect the Lef, but I did remember some blanket changes that I thought were applied to it indirectly.    ​To get rid of frustrating one-shots, we considerably lowered the penetration and damage per shot (DPS) for HE shells, while also removing AP, APCR, and HEAT shells for SPGs. Of course, one-shots are still possible if the shell lands on the target and hits its ammo rack, but the chances of it happening are close to zero now.   I am referring to this link HERE.    Since the Lef fires a basic HE ammo type that was what I was referring to in my statement. I wasn't able to find anything specific to the Lef's ammo or the Lef as everyone stated.    Did anyone notice any changes to the basic ammo values in the Lef?   

KRZYBooP:   Aww nuts.   I will miss you!

DomoSapien: I'd say that, with the improved MM that recently launched, and the modest buffs it received a few months prior, the Mutant is worth picking up. It's an unwieldy cow with a riot shield slapped onto the front.

Gun isn't particularly remarkable, mobility is horrid, but your frontal armor is pretty ridiculous and many players won't know where to shoot you. I've left my Mutant parked on a flank before, run downstairs to get my takeout from the delivery driver, and come back to maybe 200 missing hp and 3k blocked damage. 

The Mutant is a pretty unique vehicle, looks absolutely ridiculous, and offers a unique playstyle when compared to other US heavies of similar tier. It struggles against a lot of tier IX's but dominates many VIII's and below.

DomoSapien:
Running the Scavenger Hunt without codes is impossible, though. I can pretty much guarantee that it's still going to involve codes when it comes back.

That said, I can tell you that pretty much nobody on the Community Team is thrilled with all of these opt-in missions and we have been adamantly forwarding player feedback in this regard to the event teams.

I hope whatever data they gather from this experiment is useful, and we can go back to the old ways of having these missions simply be active for all players from the getgo.

Felipe6666Original: Paso para rectificar un error dado que joenez fue lo suficientemente amable para enviarme los materiales que usó para crear esa imagen y quedó claro que fue él quien la hizo. Mis disculpas por la falsa acusación; su participación es más que válida.   ¡Saludos!

DomoSapien:   These are virtual goods, limiting the quantity that goes out doesn't directly make them profitable. There is a theoretical loss in the form of opportunity cost but there are plenty of other things we are quite clearly doing that are motivated by short term sales goals, much moreso than making you punch in a bonus code to get on-track missions. 

I've always made it a point to be as transparent as possible with you guys about everything, so I'm not sure why I would pick this in particular to be the point at which I start lying to my players.

DomoSapien: Thanks for the feedback! You definitely aren't the first person to mention that they aren't happy with the "Opt-in-using-a-code" format for missions lately. A few points worth mentioning:

1. Rest assured we've been gathering everyone's feedback about all these opt-in missions and sending them to the event guys in the form of angry love letters. 2. I'd say greed isn't the primary motivator behind this change in format. That is, the whole code thing wasn't introduced with the intent to reduce the amount of prizing going out via missions. Instead this allows us to gather more focused, closely targeted data on player behavior and the impact that these missions have on players who are consciously completing them vs. players who are completing them without realizing they are doing so. 3. This change isn't set in stone. It's an experiment that the event guys are trying this month to gather data as part of a greater effort to improve our recurring missions and make them more useful to each player. 4. If you ask me (and this is just my personal opinion so please take it with a grain of salt) "fixing MM" is a much bigger step forward than "trying out a new format for monthly missions that requires players to opt-in via a bonus code" is a step back.  

DomoSapien: This isn't super helpful in the immediate term, but in the somewhat longer term: we have tentative plans to bring back the Scavenger Hunt (with improvements over previous scavenger hunt formats) in May.

Anyone who's participated in the Scavenger Hunt can pretty much confirm that you have the potential to earn a ridiculous amount of Boosters if you're highly engaged with the event.

DomoSapien:   You guys are missing some steps. First off, you'll need to enter a download code to install World of Tanks. Once that's all set, you'll need to place in the top 10 XP earners on your team in tier I through X vehicles. Each time you do, you will be presented with one digit from a 10-digit bonus code.
Next you'll need to travel to the Vatican and steal a codex while fending off Zombie Cultists and playing Poker with Tom Hanks. Using this codex you will decipher the previous code that will allow you to log into the game client.

After this you'll need to run a spectrogram of the morse code frequency that plays when your sixth sense goes off, finding a hidden image of GPS Coordinates for a hidden geocache containing the final code. 

Find this geocache, dig it up, enter the code and you, too, will get access to the anniversary missions We threw some stickers in there too, so.. yknow... you're welcome

EZPZ, my friends.

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys!  Now is your chance to own my #1 favorite tank in the game. It also happens to be the first Premium Tank I ever purchased and unlocked an undying love for artillery inside of me. Never have I ever enjoyed raining Lead on my enemies quite so much as from inside this beast! Even after the great arty balancing I still enjoyed taking this fiend out on the battlefield. Some times not as much since it see's tier VII and the premium shells feel like they are made of rubber (Too Me at least). At this point I am rambling so go git yur-self one and feel the same joy as I.  For more information on this sale click on the Beauty listed above. ^  Bundles are available for your consideration starting at 51.99.

The_Chieftain: A GSP charger? I’ve seen imported “cop cars” in the British Isles before, but usually black and whites, and often older generations.

MA77: Opa! Tudo bem, UniTTeD?   Verifique se esta camuflagem não está em algum outro veículo. Se você não a encontrar, peço que envie um ticket para o Suporte.

The_Chieftain: It is worth observing, perhaps, that the EU council allocates its votes disproportionately by country as well. It’s not as if Malta or Luxembourg can stop Germany, but they have enough of a weighted vote disproportionate to the larger population states that if they all vote together, they can stop Germany, even though they still have less population combined. The argument of a Wyoming voter having more “power” than a California one applies in the EU as well, but not many people mention it. Similarly, the risk of s “minority vote” winning is inherent in any constituent representative body. It’s not as if such things never happened in the UK, for example. Ask Winston Churchill...

DomoSapien: Hmm, I forgot that On-track discounts are 30% off for the top of the tree. Well, that's confusing. I'll see if I can dig up any more info.

MA77: Oi, Sapobr.   Recomendo que procure esta modificação no Portal Oficial de Mods.

Felipe6666Original: Dado que sobrevivimos a otro mes sin errores (creo que hubo uno hace dos semanas con el tema de los horarios, pero el problema lo tuvo la versión en inglés del texto, el torneo se ejecutó de acuerdo a lo que decía la versión en español; casi muero de un infarto cuando me avisaron que había un error porque pensé que había escrito algo mal), lo que significa que seguiremos haciendo ajustes.   El ajuste en el tiempo de captura del mes pasado representó una mejora sustancial para las tácticas que pueden plantearse más allá de ir a la captura derecho, pero aún no estamos conformes. Por tanto, los torneos contarán con el siguiente formato de tiempo de captura:   1 vs. 1: 45 segundos. 2 vs. 2: 60 segundos. 3 vs. 3 o más: 75 segundos.   Claro que este no es el ajuste definitivo, probaremos resultados y veremos si necesitamos ajustar este parámetro todavía más. También vale aclarar que habrá batallas en las que el tiempo de captura no estará limitado.   También estamos haciendo una extracción de datos para considerar elevar la cantidad mínima requerida de jugadores para entrar a batalla de acuerdo al límite del equipo. Esto es principalmente para evitar batallas absurdas de cuatro contra uno o de que jugadores "afortunados" pueden llevarse algún premio porque otro equipo no se presentó.   Además de esto, hay otras cosas que hacer. En el mientras tanto, aquí van los primeros torneos del mes:   1 vs. 1: Luchas de viernes por la noche: https://worldoftanks.com/es-ar/tournaments/1000000928/ - Nivel VIII 3 vs. 3: Pelotones de sábado por la mañana: https://worldoftanks.com/es-ar/tournaments/1000000929/ - Nivel VIII 7 vs. 7: Incursión de suministros de sábado: https://worldoftanks.com/es-ar/tournaments/1000000930/ - Nivel IX 2 vs. 2: División Maestría de domingo: https://worldoftanks.com/es-ar/tournaments/1000000931/ - Nivel X   Además, por si no lo vieron, ya están disponibles las misiones de torneo para este mes. Lo que sí, la modalidad cambió un poco (luego iniciaré otro hilo porque esto aplica a todo de ahora en más) dado que deberán canjear un código para poder activarlas. Pueden leer todo en detalle aquí.   Recuerden leer las reglas generales de los torneos para evitar confusiones y poder reportar problemas (en caso de haberlos). Iré publicando los torneos disponibles para cada semana de abril conforme vayan saliendo (como siempre, y solo luego de localizarlos y verificar que esté todo bien).   ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:   Solo te falta colocar la fecha en el mismo dibujo o en un trozo de papel aparte junto a él

Sino hubiéramos prohibido a Gamerwerfer hace rato De nuevo, mis disculpas   ¡Saludos!

DomoSapien: Hey Tankers,
I've been seeing a lot of chatter about the fact that it's necessary to "Opt-in" to some of our monthly missions this time around. First off I'd like to let you know that your feedback is not falling of deaf ears. I've been keeping an eye on sentiment and will be sending a report to the event guys.
In the meantime, however, I did speak with them and get a bit of context as to why this whole "play 10 battles and get a credit refund" thing was introduced.
We've got the anniversary coming up the weekend after this next weekend, which will feature a 10% Tech Tree discount. So, if you were one of the unfortunate souls who found out the hard way that tech tree discounts aren't stackable within the in-game UI, you'll know that if you put two Tech Tree discounts on top of eachother, it simply negates the lower discount and gives you the bigger one.
With this Credit Refund, you're actually able to effectively stack them together for a total 25% discount. Pretty sweet, eh?
All of this said, if you're still not thrilled about the bonus code thing - it's not necessarily how we're going to be doing missions moving forward. It's sort of an experiment on our end so we can get some more unique data about missions, and what we can do to make them more useful to players. 

KRZYBooP: Without a replay it's difficult to say.    You could be hitting a rock or hill. Every tank has a dispersion circle that gives tanks a chance to miss a lined up shot.    You can also put a ticket in to our support team for them to investigate as well. 

Felipe6666Original: Ya un hilo que arrancó con referencias a nuestros genitales venía mal barajado, lo demás son los entrecruces de siempre. ¿Puede hacerse algo? Por supuesto, enviarme un privado diciéndome algo tan simple como "Mirá que acá me están insultando, trolleando, etc.", pero ninguno de los "dos bandos" lo hizo.   Por más que quisiera, no soy omnipresente (igual preferiría volar si tuviera que pedir un poder), así que todo lo que vean mal (ya sea en términos generales o porque afecta a su persona) lo pueden reportar conmigo o con alguno de los Voluntarios de la Comunidad por el canal que prefieran: mensaje privado por el foro, por Discord, por el juego o por el grupo de Facebook.   ¡Saludos e hilo cerrado!

Jambijon: Morning Tankers! This is a feature that I'm sure a lot of you have been wanting for a while now.  Do you hate playing arty on Himmelsdorf?  Wheeled vehicles/Lights on Paris?  Well then, this is for you! Okay, so how is this going to work? With the release of this feature, we will have to make some additional tweaks to the matchmaker. This will ensure you won’t get matchmade on your "blocked" map under any circumstances. The Excluded Maps feature:Will only be available for Standard Battles, and not for Assault or Encounter Battles. Will only work when playing Tier IV vehicles or higher and will be disabled for all three Grand Battles maps (Klondike, Nebelburg, and Hinterland). If you wish to block a different map, you must wait at least four (4) hours to pass since you banned the previous one.  Black listing in Platoons?The feature will be available only to Platoon creators. The other Platoon members' Excluded Maps will be overridden by the Platoon creator's map list as long as they are part of that Platoon. We are still working on the concept, so this feature may change significantly in the future. We want to hear your suggestions, so feel free to ask your questions and share your feedback! We are planning to get this feature out by update 1.5! So, what do you think your first black list map will be?
