DomoSapien: Tankers, a new version of Minsk is coming up on Supertest!  Pretty soon we’ll start the closed test for a new version of the Minsk map. The second iteration is a smaller size (900x900 meters), with its main action spot relocated. These changes will make playing on the open part of the map more of a thrill for mobile vehicles and will also increase the importance of spotting. The number of destructible objects able to impact the gunplay will go down significantly. Fences have been gathered into piles or blocks and placed in a few locations instead of lining the streets and park avenues to prevent crossfire. This new configuration will allow for more opportunities to crossfire between flanks and quickly flex over to support if necessary. Additional passages between flanks have been added and foliage has been clipped to reduce cross-flank obstruction. Screenshots  Shorter distances will contribute to directional synergy, create more tactical options and add more variety to battles. The city blocks on this stage of testing are far from being final, and will be adjusted based on results.Once we collect the necessary info, we’ll decide on this map’s fate. 

1984BigBrother: Compensation has gone out for the failed battles. You will also receive an email explaining this.   GL HF

Felipe6666Original:   Y ya lo contesté hace unas horas  

Felipe6666Original:   ¿A cuál torneo en particular te referís? En cualquier caso, mandame un mensaje privado con los detalles. Pero adelanto que si se trata del 1 vs. 1, todavía no hicimos pagos ni compensaciones al respecto.   ¡Saludos!

KRZYBooP:   I apologize.    I honestly thought this was common knowledge since the release of our tutorial. xD

KRZYBooP: Thank you very much to everyone that applied to the Sheriff Posse'!    Sadly, we only had so many slots to go around and considering the popularity they filled up very fast.    We do plan on doing more Sheriff Events so please keep an eye out on the Forums for the next time!    

DomoSapien: I have been continually adding feedback about the Amazon Pay outage to all my feedback reports. It's quite a complicated issue, and my understanding is that working with billing partners involves drawing up agreements and contracts, the likes of which I frankly lack the legal knowledge to comment on.

To elaborate on Yankee's comment, I'm honestly not sure if Customer Support will be able to offer you some kind of long-term retroactive purchasing alternative considering the circumstances but I am also always of the opinion that it never hurts to put in a ticket and try.

Really though the best solution would be to try another payment method. I understand this may not be possible for everyone, but our hands are tied by policy and process as far as Amazon Pay is concerned and we don't yet have a timeframe for its return.

DomoSapien: If you take a look at the News and Information subforum, you'll notice we do try to post almost every sale we have to the news portal and the forums.
All the lootbox information can be accessed from our Holiday Ops hub, which is also accessible on the front page of na.worldoftanks.com.    

KRZYBooP:   Once the Tutorial loads hit escape and exit to the garage.

Felipe6666Original:   Y así será, eso no cambió (este es un premium), pero eso no quiere decir que no podamos agregar más vehículos si encontramos candidatos apropiados.   ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:   Ahí te contesté por privado también, pero todavía estamos a la espera de los datos para determinar las compensaciones luego.   ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original: ¡Saludos, Comandantes! Muy pronto comenzaramos las pruebas para otro vehículo con ruedas francés. Se trata de el Grendon-Somua, un premium de nivel II. Imágenes El Gendron-Somua tiene tan solo dos tripulantes: un Comandante con varios roles y un Conductor. El estilo de juego de este vehículo es el típico de los tanques ligeros de su nivel: veloz, de disparo rápido y vulnerable. Las diferencias radican en su manejo y conducción.  Es díficil detener por completo al Gendron-Somuna, dado que se necesita dañar más de la mitad de sus ruedas para hacerlo. El vehículo cuenta con un canón automático de 25 mm de fuego rápido. En resumen, este es un vehículo veloz capaz de tomar las posiciones importantes rápidamente y sacar ventaja de todo el potencial de su cañón de disparo rápido. El destino de este vehículo y sus especificaciones dependerán de los resultados de las pruebas. ¡Sigan las noticias y que la suerte esté de su lado en el campo de batalla!

MA77: Salve, popopo909090.   O servidor de Teste Comum já está desligado.   Ele ficará online apenas antes da próxima atualização do jogo.

Felipe6666Original: Bien, antes que nada, les pido que cuiden el tono porque, y lo digo con toda la honestidad del mundo, no quiero tener que moderar a nadie, mucho menos por la calentura (vamos a hablar en criollo esta vez) más que comprensible que generan todos estos errores lamentables. Creo que me banco lo más bien los insultos, las trolleadas, etc. a pesar de que siempre vengo con la mejor onda del mundo a intentar resolver todo (y siempre pido perdón cada vez que me equivoco, sea por privado o en el foro en sí ). Ojo, no digo que porque yo me comporto de determinada manera o intento seguir determinada línea espero lo mismo de todos, el respeto queda en cada uno. Y sí, ya sé que pueden decir "pero lo que hacen ustedes con los torneos es una falta de respeto con nosotros". Lo es y soy el primero en decirlo, es lamentable todo esto, pero si nos vamos a pasar agrediéndonos no vamos a llegar a ninguna parte.   Ahora, sobre los empates que terminaron dándole los puntos al enemigo cuando no correspondía, por favor, les pido que me envíen un mensaje privado con los detalles. Pagaremos los premios de manera manual mañana, así que me encargaré de enviar la diferencia a cada uno que reporte el problema luego de eso (pido disculpas de antemano si tardo un poco).   Gracias por el reporte, TiburonVegano, voy a investigar mañana por la mañana el error.   ¡Saludos!   P.D. 1: Sí, Pollenz, leí lo que pusiste y ya lo pasé, lo agradezco (de todas formas, el error estuvo en otro lado y no vamos a volver a usar Doble Eliminación por un tiempo).   P.D. 2: Las misiones están bugueadas (bah, ya lo había informado antes eso, en todo casi lo siguen estando), no debería reiniciarse el progreso. Nadie espera que logren esos objetivos en un solo torneo. Al respecto, son los desarrolladores los que están intentando arreglarlo.

Felipe6666Original: ¡Saludos, Comandantes! Increíble que 2018 esté por llegar a su fin, pero así es. Supongo que al envejecer el tiempo pasa más rápido (no se lo deseo a nadie). Pero dejemos eso de lado para concentrarnos en las cosas que están pasando ahora y las que vendrán próximamente. Por desgracia, no hay más novedades sobre lo anunciado el mes pasado sobre Línea del Frente, Tank Rewards y los cambios al matchmaking, pero estamos progresando en todos los frentes, así que habrá novedades sobre todo eso a principios de 2019 (aunque habrá un jugoso adelanto de todo y otras cosas esto antes de que termine el año). De la fragua al foro Tengo que admitirlo, la idea original no es mía. Si bien tenía ya en mis planes regresar este tipo de concursos, me vi muy influenciado por la versión que estaba preparando KRZYBooP para la audiencia angloparlante, pero quise habilitar categorías para, en mi opinión, hacerlo más parejo. Además, me incliné por el voto de la comunidad para decidir a los ganadores en lugar del jurado interno. Tengo en claro las ventajas y desventajas de cada uno, pero creo que es una decisión que corresponde a la comunidad. La primera edición fue muy buena, la segunda está lejos todavía de terminar, pero viene teniendo un nivel de participación aceptable (veremos cómo finaliza). Por tanto, no veo motivo alguno para no continuar con este tipo de concursos todos los meses. Claro que eso no implica que sea perfecto y no se puedan hacer mejoras, nada más lejos de la realidad. Por ejemplo, y es algo que ya estoy hablando con el equipo de contenido desde hace unos pocos días, quiero que las creaciones ganadoras figuren en una sección especial del portal para que todos los jugadores puedan verlas (esto incluye también a las creaciones de concursos esporádicos que tuvimos antes de este en puntual). Sí, sé que existe la categoría "Arte de Fans" en la sección "Media", pero estoy contemplando cuál es la mejor opción para que sea un poco más visible (siempre contemplando que sea posible). Guías de la Comunidad No hace falta mencionar que tipo de concurso está detenido por ahora, creo que todos notaron eso. También habrán notado que dije que iba a volver en diciembre, pero fue una mala idea asegurar eso para el mes más cargado del año en términos laborales. Pero, además de eso, tenemos que redefinir algunas cosas. Una de ellas es implementar efectivamente estas guías en el portal para que estén disponibles para todo el mundo. La idea original de publicar las guías en forma de noticias no fue una idea muy brillante o eficiente, pero hay ya algo más definido con, de nuevo, el equipo de contenido. A eso hay que sumarle que las guías no pueden ser un copy+paste del foro, hay que revisarlas, corregir errores (si los hay), organizarlas bien, etc. Lo anterior aplica a las guías escritas, dado que las guías en video sí están en forma de lista de reproducción en el canal oficial, pero también hay que darles más visibilidad. A esto se suma actualizar secciones del portal que quedaron desfasadas para enmarcar todo en un solo lugar, pero eso es parte de un plan más grande (y que llevará mucho más tiempo también). No garantizo que este concurso regresará en enero (las fiestas interfieren con varias cosas), pero sí regresarán para febrero. Mientras tanto, eso da tiempo a implementar todo lo anterior. Servidor SA Uno de los puntos más discutidos desde su introducción como servidor de prueba, pero que cada vez suena más fuerte debido a todos los problemas que tiene, siendo el mayor de ellos la baja cantidad de jugadores que lo frecuenta. Eso nos lleva inmediatamente a preguntarnos (y con razón) si cerrará. La respuesta corta a eso es no, pero eso no contesta qué se está haciendo para resolver los problemas que tiene el servidor. Además de las bonificaciones y la introducción de los bots, el servidor sumará más cambios paulatinamente hasta alcanzar un nivel de actividad normal. Videos Si bien es una deuda pendiente desde hace mucho tiempo, estamos más cerca de tener videos doblados al castellano en nuestro canal oficial. Inicialmente, es algo que debería haber llegado hace algunos meses, pero el cierre del departamento de LATAM (creo haberlo mencionado en alguna publicación anterior hace unos meses) atrasó una cantidad importante de nuestros planes, este incluido. Sin embargo, aunque no quiero precisar fechas, pronto podrá ser una realidad. ¡Nos vemos en el campo de batalla! ¡Saludos! P.D.: Intentaré hacer un balance del año y adelantar algo de nuestros planes para 2019 una vez que estemos más cerca del final.

TeriyakiTanker:   Only a cash grab if you are specifically shooting for the IS-3A..... which would yes be very done.

Felipe6666Original: ¡Wow, muy buena participación a sabiendas de que todavía faltan varios días! ¡Vamos que quiero ver más creaciones!   Sí, papá de Ti4G0, no hay problema. Gracias por ayudarlo   E hiciste bien en incluir tu nick, vanpirexxx, era parte de las reglas   ¡Saludos!  

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockies!  This weekend there is going to be a massive battle among the clans.  Head to the link HEREto pick your favorite clan to win by submitting a code and get some boosters if they win. You can also get boosters if they lose but they just won't last as long.  Good luck to the Clans during the battle! 

Felipe6666Original: Cierro el thread porque ya veo venir en dónde va a terminar, pero antes quiero dejar asentado que las denuncias por racismo se castigan por severidad si lo reportan a Soporte con repetición mediante (yo lo haga bastante).   ¡Saludos!

CabbageMechanic: Hey folks,   We're having some technical issues with links in the Mods section and have to bring it down until we get it sorted. Shouldn't be too long.

Jambijon: Hey everyone, we apologize for the issue with last nights tournament.  I know you've become too familiar with us apologizing for tournament errors, and it pains me every time we have to send these out.  From what we gathered from our devs is that the tournament system was unable to calculate a draw or take in account for no-show and left the system hanging.  Because of these errors, and because of our shared frustration with you, we are going to revert back to formats we know for sure will work.  This means the tournaments for the rest of December will most like just be RR.  I'll update the rest of the tournaments this month to reflect that change momentarily.   Also, we are currently running through our data for last night and will be updating you on compensation as soon as we are able.  Again, we are very sorry to have caused you this inconvenience, especially during our holiday event.

TeriyakiTanker: Good stuff +1 for you.

Felipe6666Original: Bien, paso para responder algunas cosas y dar algunas novedades:   Primero que nada, no hay novedades todavía (ya arrancamos mal, ¿no?) sobre el pago de los premios/compensaciones por todo lo que pasó ayer. Si bien el equipo de desarrolladores confirmó que se trató de un bug (quizás era obvio, pero necesitábamos la confirmación técnica), ahora resta resolverlo y hacer la extracción de datos para poder determinar las compensaciones y enviar los premios. En cualquier caso, los mantendré informados.   Como adelanté ayer, el torneo a realizarse hoy cambió de modalidad por el problema que tuvimos con la de ayer, modalidad que no vamos a utilizar hasta que los desarrolladores confirmen que el problema fue resulto. Al respecto, para quienes preguntaron cómo funciona exactamente la "Eliminación Doble" cuando hay empate porque se agota el tiempo y expusieron algunos casos, el sistema, teóricamente, debería enviar a la ronda siguiente a quien mejor que se haya desempeñado en la batalla (evidentemente, eso fue parte del bug). Sobre las victorias técnicas, bueno, pasaría quien se presentó ante la ausencia de un enemigo, pero la cantidad de técnicas por ausencias provocó fallas deteniendo varias batallas (como se expuso antes). Sobre empates técnicos, es decir, cuando ninguno de los dos equipos se presenta, el sistema debería descalificar a ambos al ser con modalidad eliminatoria. Sí, las reglas no contemplaban eso, pero de cualquier forma el sistema no calculó los empates como debería haberlo hecho (sí, una falla masiva por todos lados).   La compensación por la que estoy pusheando hace un mes por un torneo fallido a principios de noviembre por fin va a acreditarse hoy. Como demoramos una eternidad (de hecho, creo que debe haber gente que me odia ahora por lo insistente que fui), la compensación va a ser de 1.000 de oro en lugar de 500.   Sobre que se realicen torneos los días en los que se implementan actualizaciones, voy a dejarlo asentado, pero hubo opción de predescarga antes de que se lanzara (aunque concuerdo en el que el márgen de tiempo no fue tan grande esta vez).   ¡Saludos!        

Jambijon: Sorry everyone that these kind of messages have become the norm from us.  From what we have gathered from the devs is that the system completely messed up when it came to draws or no-shows.  Obviously, the no-shows were supposed to be considered a loss and would be moved to the losers bracket or eliminated.  The draws that occurred were, theoretically supposed to be calculated by performance (base xp/damage dealt/etc) but of course they weren't because plenty of people out performed their opponent and still lost.    So I'm sure you are tired of hearing things like this, just like I'm tired of writing these kind of messages, but seriously, we apologize, and until our devs can provide us with a reliable tournament system, we will be reverting back to the formats we know will work.  I was excited to finally get to expand our formats and increase the complexity but the writings on the wall.  We will have to wait and work with our devs to figure this out until we are comfortable to try it again.  The NA server is by far the biggest tournament playing community we have in WoT and our priority is running stable, fun tournaments.   In terms of this particular piece of hot garbage we ran last night, we are running through all of our data, and will be updating you on compensation as soon as we can.    TLDR, we're sorry and we are going to use formats we know work with our tournament system and will update you on compensation.

Jambijon: Sorry everyone for the issues that happened last night.  From what I've been able to figure out from our devs is that our tournament system completely borked when it encountered a draw/no-shows.  In the case of the draw, in theory at least, the player who "out preformed" the combatant was to get the win.  The conditions were based of base xp/damage dealt.  However, as all of you experienced, this didn't work at all and our devs confirmed this was a bug and they are working on it.   For now, we are going to simplify our tournaments and use the formats we know work until they are able to give us a tournament system we can 100% rely on.  Again, sorry for the inconvenience and we'll keep you posted.

TeriyakiTanker: I got two sets of 75.   First set I got 74,300 gold (included gold value for KV-220-2 (x3), Turan III (x4), M4 Improved (x3), Skorpion G (x2), E25, and an leFH), 41 premium days, 3.4 million silver, all the special skins, and a special santa crew.
  Second set I got 84,950 gold (included gold value for Turan III (x3). M4 improved (x6), Skorpion G, E25 (x3), LeFH (x2), and a Defender), 3 million silver, 28 days of premium, and the Is-3A.
  Works out to something like $800 dollars for the cost of $200 and this doesn't include whatever you value the 4 sets of skins and the santa crew member at.  Also gets you to level X of the holiday thing right away.  So to your question you are going to have to spend a few hundred dollars or get lucky if you are fishing for a specific Tier VIII but the other stuff seems to drop fairly regularly.

KRZYBooP: My lef loadout: Crew: Train camo skill first then pay to retrain to BIA when you reach 100% then swap back to camo. This way you have skills that are always working for you.             Keep doing that method above to get Sixth Sense, Recon, Mentor, Jack of all Trades.  Equipment: Rammer, Camo, and either Spall liner, or Binocs.    GLD changes the aim time stat from 4.7 to 4.35 and that's not really that noticeable of a change to justify an equipment slot.    I also pretty much only shoot the first round so I wind up breaking even or better even if my team loses during battles. Yes premium rounds have a higher damage potential but I swear they have rubber tips. You can change your arc to try and get a pen angle by finding a slope and shooting from there, however this is not a guarantee. 

CabbageMechanic:   Yes, but we do technically request that you place at least a 1 minute delay on your stream to help prevent stream sniping.

CabbageMechanic:   Accounts will be going out today via Forum PMs from KRZYBoop - bitter-sweetly we have many more qualified applicants than available posse slots.  Thank you to everyone whom has applied, we will look at possibly expanding the event next time (we will have to create an additional new Sheriff clan tied to the mission to let more people in).
