Hambijon: I picked swedish just for the crew XP.  I need to beef them up.  You can use any Tier VI from the nation you chose to qualify for the tokens and x2 Crew XP.

Jambijon: Congrats BULBA!

BigDaddyLaxative: Congrats BULBA!

Hambijon: Congrats BULBA!

Jambijon: The older cpu can definitely cause a bottle neck, but odd to see a decrease in performance after we released multi-thread support update.  I would check your temps on your cpu.  I've had luck just reapplying thermal paste though I dont recommend that.   Also, another test could to try applying v-sync and see if you still get the stuttering.

MA77:     Quem toma esta decisão é o Suporte a partir da análise do ocorrido, bmscopel.  

KRZYBooP:   If you get a Blueprint for a vehicle, which you have either researched or have all the necessary Blueprints already, it will turn into a “national” or a “universal” Blueprint. National Blueprints can be used on any vehicle of their respective nation. If you receive a national Blueprint for France, for example, it can be used on any vehicle in the French Tech. Tree. Universal Blueprints can be used on any vehicle of any nation. We also plan to introduce an opportunity to transform Blueprints you don’t need into ones you seek. Please note: You can convert only "national" and "universal" Blueprints, but Blueprints you already have for a specific tank cannot be converted. You may find out that you already have a discount for some vehicles right in your Research tab.   More information can be found HERE.

DomoSapien:   Claus is one of my CC's, I'm not going to punish you for promoting his videos :>

Jambijon: The only time I listen to others when they tell me why I should play a game is when my friends want to play with me.  That's usually the only compromise, but if i'm not having fun I'll stop and go about my day.  Gaming shouldn't feel like a chore. Sure there are some aspects of games feel repetitive, but the time vs reward should be considered.  "Will this make it more enjoyable for me?" I love playing and practicing guitar, but sometimes I can't make myself play when it feels like a chore. I'd rather just jam random nonsense than practice.   So if you do, cool and if you dont, cool.  Just make sure you're having fun because you know, its a game.

Felipe6666Original: ¡Saludos, Comandantes!   Para nuestra quinta edición de nuestro concurso artístico mensual, vamos a finalmente alejarnos de las ambientaciones específicas y especiales para regresar al espíritu puro de la propuesta original: tema libre.   Dado el éxito de la categoría Varieté en el concurso pasado, sobre todo por su flexibilidad a la hora de contemplar todo lo que no cuadra con el resto de las categorías, la mantendremos para este concurso también.   La categoría Tanques 2D seguirá estando desdoblada: de los dos puestos disponibles, uno estará reservado a producciones enteramente manuales y otro a digitales.   Tanques 2D: Tienen dos opciones, manos o mouse. Pueden tomar un trozo de papel, sus lápices o pinceles favoritos y dibujar un blindado de World of Tanks (o que al menos se asemeje o esté inspirado en uno), o pueden hacer esto mismo con un programa digital. Sin embargo, esta vez, tengan presente que si usan un programa digital, su creación debe permanecer en 2D. Si quieren hacer un modelo digital 3D, pueden revisar Varieté.   Una vez que terminen, publiquen su obra de arte en los comentarios de este thread y listo, ya están participando. Eso sí, su nick y la fecha deben figurar en alguna parte. Si creen que esto arruinará su obra manual, siempre pueden agregar un trozo de papel con esos datos y ponerlos en un costado.   Tanques 3D: Hagan un blindado de World of Tanks (de nuevo, o que al menos se asemeje o esté inspirado en uno) con el material que quieran: papel, cartón, metal, etc. Una vez hecho, sáquenle una foto y publíquenla en los comentarios de este thread para participar.   Como en la categoría anterior, su nick y fecha deben figurar en la foto, así que asegúrense de incluirlos en alguna parte.   Varieté: Todo lo que no cuadre con las cateogrías anteriores participará automáticamente de esta cateogría. El nick y la fecha son obligatorios para lo que sea que hagan: videos, galletas, modelos digitales 3D, etc. No importa lo que hagan, usen su imaginación.   ¿Y qué ganan por participar? ¡Paquetes con premios misteriosos! Estos paquetes incluyen potenciadores, oro, vehículos premium y créditos. ¿Y cómo se eligen a los ganadores? Los Contribuidores de la Comunidad y yo formaremos un jurado interno que eligirá a dos ganadores por categoría (sí, seis ganadores en total). ¿Y cuánto tiempo tienen? ¡Tienen tiempo hasta el 31 de marzo!   FAQ ¿Puedo participar en todas las categorías?   No, solo pueden participar de una.   ¿Puedo participar con más de un dibujo, modelo o varieté?   No, solo se admite una participación por jugador.   ¿Obtengo algo por participar o solo el ganador se lleva algo?   Todos obtienen un premio por participar, pero los ganadores se llevan el premio más grande.   ¿Pueden usarse programas digitales total o parcialmente para las categorías Tanques 2D y Tanques 3D?   Pueden usarse para Tanques 2D, pero no para Tanques 3D.   ¿Cómo es justo competir contra alguien que haga su dibujo en un programa digital?   No competirán, habrá un ganador que use sus manos y otro que use su mouse, no importa la cantidad de votos de uno y otro.   ¿Puedo dibujar al vehículo en algún contexto?   ¡Segurp!   ¿Solo se pueden usar lápices? ¿O acuarelas está bien?   Lápices, acuarelas, etc. pueden usarse para dibujar.   ¿Se pueden hacer tanques con LEGO (o similar)?   No, no se puede. Ese tipo de armados ya vienen con instrucciones en el que el márgen de error es nulo.   ¿Entonces no se pueden usar modelos para cortar en papel/cartón?   ¡Eso sí se puede! Si bien hay instrucciones, entra en juego la habilidad de armado, de pintar/colorear, etc. Lo mismo aplica para el plastimodelismo.   ¡No hay excusas! ¡Elijan una categoría y pongan manos a la obra! ¡Mucha suerte!  

DomoSapien:   Well, I used to try and hand-write all my responses but when you've answered 50-100 tickets that day about the exact same thing, you tend to rely on canned responses when possible. Unfortunately sometimes that means firing off the canned response without answering all your questions, which definitely is not ideal. The ticket may have been mishandled, to a degree, since answering all of a player's questions falls under our QA standards.   I'll poke our CS product specialist and ask him to QA the ticket. 

DomoSapien: Hi there!
I'm removing your replay link because we have a forum policy against name and shaming but I'd be happy to explain what exactly happened here.    As for the other player, how exactly do you know that they didn't receive sanctions?    We don't notify you about sanctions taken against players you've reported, and looking at the replay it definitely appears to be physics abuse, which is a sanctionable offense. Furthermore, this guy has no affiliation with wargaming nor do I even recognize the username, so I'm pretty confident when I say he definitely isn't getting any special favors. 

___   So let's talk about what happened here. Another player drove up to you in his leo, saw that you were playing very passively in your strv (which I guess he wasn't too happy with) and proceeded to push your tank around. He ended up getting underneath your Strv (which happens to have its center of gravity located towards the rear) and the physics engine started calculating crushing damage from the weight of your vehicle colliding with his thin upper glacis armor.

The automated TK/TD system operates based on a ratio of damage dealt to allies versus damage dealt to allies vs damage dealt to enemies. It picked up a substantial amount of team damage over a period of several seconds, which typically is indicative of intention team damage in most cases. Fringe cases like this do exist, but an automated team damage system isn't sophisticated enough to analyze human behavior to determine intent.    So moving on to support, I haven't seen your ticket, but I'm guessing the response you received had some kind of similar explanation, as well as apologies that there isn't really anything we can do to remove a 1-hour ban that has already expired, retroactively.  Our turnaround time for tickets is definitely more than 1 hour, so by the time they saw your ticket, the ban was already gone. They won't tell you "yes, we banned this guy" because it's against our privacy policy, so there isn't much else they can do to assist you in this case. 
The silver lining here is that Automated TK/TD bans don't count towards your strikes. As long as you don't habitually engage in intentional TK/TD (which, judging by your replay, you don't) you don't have to worry about escalating sanctions. 

It is unfortunate that this occurred, and you are justified in being upset about it, but I can't really think of any way to provide you with a more satisfactory resolution to your ticket with the tools and policies at our disposal.
  If you'd like, I can take a look at your ticket. Please feel free to PM me your ticket ID.

DomoSapien: Thank you for the feedback!

KrzyBoop brought up a pretty cool idea - it'd be sweet to have these crew skin guys replace the generic soldiers chopping wood and doing stuff in your garage.

DomoSapien: Hey Tankers!

We've got some pretty exciting news to share with you. Balance changes!
The Swedish Heavy line is getting some tweaks. Today we're launching the Supertest for preliminary versions of the updated Emil I, Emil II, and Kranvagn.   These tanks have been in the game for a few years now, and it's no secret that they could use a little love (the Emil II and Kranvagn in particular). On paper, they sound pretty sweet. Heavily armored turret, amazing gun depression, and an autoloading magazine system with 4 shells; truly the epitome of ridgeline brawling!  Or... so it would seem.   Currently, the Swedish autoloaders are too much like those from other nations, despite having some pretty unique characteristics, and they aren't particularly better at anything than other Autoloading heavies of similar tier. Their magazines inflict lots of damage but they take a long time to reload, pulling them away from an active role in battle for a relatively long time. 
The idea is to change up the playstyle a little bit - make them reload faster and increase their alpha damage. While removing a shell theoretically reduces your options, taking a comparable amount of time off the total clip reload time acts as a mitigating factor. A reloading autoloader is a helpless autoloader, and having 3 rounds in the clip is better than 1. In addition, the 120mm gun will be getting a slight reduction in its intra-clip reload time between shells. 

Overall this means a DPM increase for the Kranvagn by about 20%.   Changes aren't final, this is just the first wave of testing for these vehicles so it's likely that more changes will occur down the road.    

TeriyakiTanker:   Well to be fair, considering how long some of the bugs have been around he could be right.....

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! Question 1:How did CLAWS first start? [GeneraLeeDissociative]>: CLAWS aka NOD(Nation of Darkness) began under the leadership of Blackbandit in FEB 24th 2012, going on 7 years as an active clan.  I was not the original leader, kinda funny story one day BlackBandit Raged and kicked ½ the team after a discussion on the direction of the clan, then said he's done with the game and asked leadership if anyone of us wanted it.  At that time the XOs were Draago, Rycore, Wally and myself. None of the others wanted the clan so I took it control of it, that was late 2012/early 2013. On the day I took control of the clan I remember we were ranked 287th on WGA clan rankings.  Today as i’m writing this we are 10th. After some quick rebuilding & blitz of recruitment we found ourselves fighting against FEC, PVP DFA, SIX GUN, ODIN, ELVIS & many others. Then shortly after fighting with the Relic alliance for Italy back when the Europe map was open.  Battles went back and forth for nearly a month.Question 2: What is your clan’s vision? [GeneraLeeDissociative]> To be honest I think CLAWS has obtained/reached our core goals of creating a competitive, drama free area with minimal yelling at our tankers and having fun while doing it. We also strive to be a good home for Vets, understanding of real life deployments, trainings & conditions.  I travel a lot for work so my goal is to eventually meet up with and have food/drinks with the majority of the clan. As of today I have met up with approx. 26 current or ex-claws members from 9 different states.  [Talonsfire] > Personal vision is being competitive while keeping it a fun and relaxing environment as much as possible.  [NewportReb]  We have a vision? Do we have a mission statement as well? No? Well then...mission statement to be created shortly. Question 3: What is your greatest accomplishment(s) as a clan? [GeneraLeeDissociative]> The fact we haven't shied away from a fight & participated in nearly every major Clan Wars Conflict, Season & Campaign since 2013.   [Talonsfire] > Being able to consistently reward our mates with reward tanks during the events. For as long as I’ve been in CLAWS we’ve managed to successfully get everyone a tank who wanted one. [Dnash] Well i been here for a few years now, beside always getting people who want a tank was winning first place on the global map one season at tier 10. (I believe it was season 7 or 8). Question 4: How is CLAWS set apart from everyone else? [NewportReb] I’ve been in quite a few clans at this point. I can say without any doubt that this has been the most fun clan I’ve been in. It’s the members that make it a blast. Everyone gets along for the most part and its drama free. [Dnash] Out of the clans i been in since i started, What I notice is about Claws the most is how it is a family. What i mean about that is how long a lot of the clanmates have been here or it's their second or third time in claws after trying other clans and coming back cause it wasn't the same as being in Claws! And I have never seen a person care so much for a clan and it’s members like Lee does it is the reason they come back!  [Inanecoffee] It's more of a family than a clan. I like to think of CLAWS as the socially competitive clan on the cluster. We sure like to mess around, sometime to an unproductive extent, but as soon as Gen joins the ready room and starts his “pep talk”, everyone knows it's time to go to work. Question 5: How if any does your job or experience in real life aid your Leadership or ability to be a Competitive clan? [GeneraLeeDissociative]> My 14 years and counting of military service and training has help me in calling battles, develop strategies and see things most others don’t.  My real world managing of 100s of people in the military has given me perspective in-order to help me manage my tankers in this game. If you learn one thing in the military it is patience (hurry up and wait), aka “Alligator Blood.”  It has helped me be level headed (most of the time).

Sleep deprivation training by the Military is perfect preparation for Campaigns, WHO NEEDS SLEEP?  

[talonsfire] The ability to deal with 100+ other individuals and their unique personalities. Pretty sure everyone is a bit crazy when playing tanks. [NewportReb] I’m never crazy Talon, not ever. As far as leadership goes, look you can either deal with people or not. You need your players to buy in to your vision. Otherwise you have 5 or 6 officers sitting around and no one to actually fight battles. Question 6: Your clan is part of a community of clans. Which clan(s) makeup that community and what is your relationship with them? [GeneraLeeDissociative]: CLAWS, F-3 and Reforged currently make up our community.  The leaders of all the clans are good guys and really care about their troops. As kinda a big brother roll we try to aid the other clans in the alliance with strats, recruits and mechanics of the game.  The community is more or less a way to always have someone to joke around with or plt with.

Just after being selected for this honor of WGA Spotlight, we regret to inform the WGA community that Wongho, leader of F-3 past away from a heart attack.  He was a genuine and caring person that dedicated most of his free time to his clan, his tankers & the community. Many tankers through the years have made their start, or have come thru F-3 at one point or another.  Many that are still in the game have been in some way engage, connected, improved, or driven by Mr. Wongho. He will be missed dearly. Wongho would of been so ecstatic for CLAWS and the Community that he helped shape to hear this kind of news.Question 7: If you could change anything about the competitive scene in WoT, what would it be? [GeneraLeeDissociative]> I would see encounter battles come back, for those that weren’t around when that mechanic was a thing.  It was were if you chip the enemy from the same province that the enemy chip you to their chipping province, you would have a encounter battle(pre battle) to see whos piece of land is being fought for.  Under current mechanics 2 armies just past in the night and you fight both battles.

We would also like to see all maps on the CW Map, perhaps if it isn’t a very well liked map there are fewer number of them.  Lastly fog of war in Tourneys & Playoffs.  Can we get more Mountain Pass? =D [talonsfire]> Having the global map an open and pure sandbox like it use to be.  [NewportReb] Clan Wars needs to grow. First expand the map to more like 1.0. Second dump the bonds system for tanks and return to clan certificates and personal fame. Look top players in top clans are going to have plenty of bonds to pay for their tanks. Both of the campaigns I've been in at CLAWS, I've easily paid for my tank. However guys just getting into CW’s are going to start in some mid tier clan barely getting any fame. Then they will have to go grind bonds just to pay for their tank. Now when the next campaign comes back up, what are they going to remember? Getting a tank or the bond grind? A lot of friends that I've talked to remember the bond grind and that keeps them from wanting to play clan wars again. [Dnash] Well on the map I would like to see when two clans who hold land chip each other lands that are connected for it to be fought as one battle in encounter mode on a random map winner fights for the loser piece of land only. [Inanecoffee] Having a separation of maps for different level of clans so they can have more of a chance to land and be successful on the global map. Kind of like last campaign where they had the 3 fronts. Question 8: Speaking from your player experience, what differences have you noticed by going from a player not in a clan to being in a clan and then being an officer in the clan? [GeneraLeeDissociative]> Before joining a clan, I was about 1100 WN (or the current measurement of the time)  with a recent of 1600. So over the course of the 2500+ days in this clan, there has been serious individual tanking development.  I haven’t really known much time not being an officer, so that is both a blessing in the way I can help shape and mold the clan and a curse in that I haven’t been able to take good ideas from other clans and implement them within my own.  

[talonsfire]> teamwork, whether it’s from platooning, recruiting, campaign work. That simple concept can make or break a clan. [NewportReb] Totally agree with Talon on this. Look this game was built to play with friends. Id much rather platoon than play solo. Playing in a competitive clan setting is a whole other level. Instead of being in a platoon where you can count on 2 other guys to help you now have 15 tankers all working towards the same goal and able to talk with one another. This game is far more fun when teamwork comes into play. [Dnash] To me biggest change was going from solo tanking knowing no one in the game, to joining a clan and playing with a select few people in the clan to being a XO and having to know everyone in the clan is insane. Also having to balance your playtime with any player concerns, diplo, map movements and recruitment. And when it is a campaign managing players fame point to ensure everyone gets a tank really cuts back on just logging on to play and have fun. Being a officer is like a second job but I do it cause I want Claws to be the best. [Inanecoffee] Not being in a clan is kind of like playing a single player game in a way, you have the core components and it is a really good game, you just tend to look out for yourself and not the team. As soon as you join a clan, that mentality changes, you start to watch out for your clanmates, and in battles, your platoon. Getting the promotion to be an officer takes it to a whole new level. Now not only are you looking out for your platoon, but also the 96 other guys in the clan as well, in can battles or not. I still remember a week after i got the promotion to officer, one of my buddies that I had been playing with for years up unto that point called me after class one day to talk map strategy for that nights battles. Never had he really called me up until that point, that's when the true officer difference hit me. Question 9: What is your favorite Tier 10 and why? [GeneraLeeDissociative]> That’s a tough Pick, but I would probably go with my 50B with its combined mobility and clip potential.  Though power creep has diminished its role in many aspects, especially with the introduction of the Hesh rounds. Surprisingly even after the nerfs I enjoy taking the T110E5 and 268V4 out in pub matches.  
 [talonsfire]> 907, regardless of the battle (random, cw) it allows you to do so much on the map.  [NewportReb] In clan wars I love to run scouts. In pubs the BC might be my most played tier 10. [Dnash] Well I have a few I enjoy Progetto M40 mod. 65 I love how the reload works. E50M is a fun medium to play and ramming other meds and lights in it is a blast. AMX 13-105 is a fun light to drive in in late game play it can really excel.  [Inanecoffee] I would have to pick the 705A, i mean just look at the thing, out of all my tanks I would say that one catches my eye the most. From a gameplay perspective, it also has the unique mechanic of a rear mounted large caliber Russian gun, so what isn’t to love. On that same vein, a small buff would always be appreciated. A honorable mention has to go 2 the Type 5, just for the joy it provides. Question 10: Any last comments? (Throwing people under the bus section) [GeneraLeeDissociative]> Special Shout out to TURTLE POLICE back in the day for winning Silver League.  The nearly 200,000+ GOLD we earned each allowed me to get 4-6 tier 10s. Special thanks to all the fellow clans/people/clanmates that aided in the clans development & mine as the clan leader.  Best song, who doesn’t like ‘Mother lover’? [talonsfire]> Metallica - Fade to Black if I had to pick just one.  [NewportReb] Is this where we are going to put our favorite song? If so then anything by Lonely Island. “I’m on a boat” is my go to karaoke song. After a few drinks of course. Also screw Gryffindor. (Please keep the Gryffindor reference in, it's a funny clan thing) [Dnash] I would like to give a shout-out to the members of claws without you we could not do anything.

DomoSapien: This was a good read. 
I think you're doing a great job of onboarding your recruit, by not only giving him/her advice on the game, but also common friction points in the community.    

Felipe6666Original: ¡Saludos, tanquistas!   Con la línea de medianos suecos en camino, también tenemos planeado echarle un vistazo a algunos de los vehículos esta nación, más específicamente a los de la línea de pesados. En el día de hoy, las versiones actualizadas preliminares del Emil I (nivel VIII), Emil II (nivel IX) y Kranvagn (nivel X) ingresan al Supertest.   Imágenes     Todos estos tanques tienen una torreta muy blindada, ángulos de depresión de cañón excelentes y un autocargador con cuatro proyectiles. Es esto último lo que queremos cambiar. Actualmente, los autocargadores suecos se parece mucho a los de otras naciones: su tambor inflige mucho daño, pero tarda mucho en recargar. Luego de vaciarlo, estos tanques pasan a ser combatientes inactivos por un periodo de tiempo considerable.   Planeamos reajustar el estilo de juego de los escandinavos y hacer que recarguen más rápido: reduciremos el tiempo de recarga y aumentaremos su daño alfa. El precio por este cambio es un proyectil menos en el tambor. De esta manera, tu tanque estará “casi listo para disparar” mucho más seguido, así que será más complicado atraparte con la guardia baja y podrás golpear a tus enemigos más rápido y duro. Además, el cañón de 120 mm tardará menos tiempo en recargar entre un disparo y otro. Con este y otros ajustes, el daño por minuto del Kranvagn se incrementará en un 20%.   Tengan en cuenta que estos cambios no son definitivos y que puede que haya algunos más.   ¡Sigan las noticias y que la suerte esté de su lado en cada batalla!

Felipe6666Original: Bueno, antes de anunciar a los ganadores, debo comunicar que me vi forzado a tomar una medida ad hoc por una situación bastante desagradable: ciertos participantes de este concurso utilizaron una cantidad considerable de cuentas secundarias para votar por sus propias creaciones y así asegurarse sus puestos.   En consecuencia, no solamente fueron descalificados y sus cuentas del foro baneadas, sino que también decidí cambiar el sistema de votación desestimando todos los votos recibidos de cada participante y recurriendo únicamente a mi criterio para seleccionar a los ganadores. A decir verdad, adoptaré el sistema de jurado (los Contribuidores de la Comunidad + yo) para el próximo concurso y los votos ya no servirán de nada.   Honestamente, no puedo decir que me siento traicionado porque la culpa es mía, debí preveer que esto podía pasar algún día, pero nunca imaginé que alguien iba a tomarse el trabajo de crear tantas cuentas y trazar un plan tan complicado por un mero concurso de arte, encima con creaciones que no eran malas para nada. Pero bueno, fin del asunto (por eso el thread está bloqueado, no voy a permitir forobardo al respecto) y sigamos con lo nuestro.   Tanques 2D:   ¡Los premios van para Destructor_Letal (manual) e iiNSaNiiTY (digital)! Destructor_Letal recreó un picnic romántico con vista a la ciudad, e iiNSaNiiTY nos dio una velada romántica por las aguas de Venecia.   Tanques 3D:   ¡Los premios van para Gamerwerfer y VIGA_17! Gamerwerfer no deja de sorprender con sus creaciones (imagino que a esta altura debe tener una repisa bastante poblada), y VIGA_17 hizo un Maus totalmente equipado para el amor con flores, una gitarra y lo más importante: ¡una flecha de Cupido!.   Varieté:   ¡Los premios van para ShizuoYimato y Pepetruelo! ShizuoYimato nos dio la típica foto familiar en el Día de los Enamorados, y lo de Pepetruelo no tiene palabras, simplemente excelente.   ¿Y qué se llevó cada uno de los ganadores? x8 +50% de créditos, x8 +100% de EXP, x8 +100% de EXP de tripulación, 1.000 de oro, un Panhard EBR 75 (FL 10) (el M41D fue para despistar), 200.000 créditos y 7 días de Cuenta Premium. ¡Qué lo disfruten!   ¿Y para el resto de los participantes? ¡El amor de ella! Es decir... Todos los que participaron de esta Edición Romántica de "¡De la fragua al foro!" (y que no hayan violado ninguna regla, claro), se llevan x8 +50% de créditos, x8 +100% de EXP, x8 +100% de EXP de tripulación, 250 de oro, 3 días de Cuenta Premium y 1 espacio de Garage.   Y ahora dos menciones especiales por trabajos destacados: freysebas y lonzaso (debo decir que fue muy ingenioso) se llevan además un Valentine II.   ¡Muchas felicidades a todos! La cantidad de participaciones de este concurso fue algo menor (no solo por las sanciones) debido a que hubo menos tiempo, así que veamos cómo nos va en la próxima edición.   ¡Saludos!
