Gnomon:   The compensation is not for the server issues, it is for the maintenance/downtime for 1.0.2 that happens tonight. We are discussing compensation for the server issues from yesterday, as CabbageMechanic mentioned here: June 11th Server Issues Megathread   Be sure to keep an eye out there for compensation news.    In regards to the Object 277, the dev team made the changes based on data from the test server. They will continue to monitor the vehicle's performance on the live server. If it does underperform, future balance changes are always possible.   

Gnomon:     Check out this page: Fixing the Comrades   It shows the stats of the K-91, the Object 277, and the Object 268 v4 for 1.0.2     Also, these changes are from the patch notes for the 277:  Changed the turret traverse speed from 26 to 27 deg/s. Changed dispersion from 0.35 to 0.38 m. Changed reload time from 11.5 to 12.5 s. Changed aiming time from 2.5 to 2.7 s. Replaced the 3BM (experimental) AP shell with the 3VBK HEAT shell (penetration: 340 mm). Increased concealment by 20%. Changed the positions of ammo rack and fuel tanks.   Hope this helps! 

Felipe6666Original: Bien, un par de cuestiones:   Particulamente, y de acuerdo con lo aquí expresado, tengo mis reservas de que los clanes "top" son los que más dinero invierten en el juego si "siempre ganan todo, obtienen montones de oro por semana y consiguen las recompensas extra de campaña (léase tanques, camuflajes y demás)". Las Clan Wars sirven como suerte de uno de los end-game del juego. Es accesible a todos, pero es altamente competitivo. Podemos discutir cómo generar más oportunidades para clanes no tan competitivos o incluso dividir por estratos de acuerdo al nivel de competitividad, pero generar "incentivos" por tener y administrar un clan me parece mucho. Como contrapartida, ¿cómo podríamos verificar nosotros que los incentivos otorgados se administran bien? ¿Qué criterios se utilizarían para otorgarlos? Tachar de "desertores" a los jugadores que prefieren jugar en el clan que se sienten más cómodos me resulta algo totalitario. Creo que cada uno es libre de disfrutar el juego y sus modos como prefiera en tanto no quebrante ninguna regla. Nupetiet, te pido amistosamente que no me faltes el respeto. Todos saben que no puedo obligar a nadie a que se ajuste a los lineamientos del foro, solo puedo actuar en consecuencia.   ¡Saludos!

DomoSapien:
A potential alternative would be joining a 3-man team as an alternate, with the assumption that you'd like to play in the first two stages.

Registration is open in <1Hr, folks!

DomoSapien: Alright folks, the entirety of this thread is basically non-constructive now. Thread locked.

MA77: Salve!

Amanhã nós iremos lançar Atualização 1.0.2 que trás novos veículos de nível X soviéticos, mudanças em alguns mapas e muito mais. Você a nossa análise no vídeo abaixo:     Os servidores ficarão offline amanhã (13 de Junho) de 04:00 ET | 05:00 BRT até 10:30 ET | 11:30 BRT. Os jogadores que atualmente tem Conta Premium receberão 24h para compensar o tempo em que os servidores ficarão em manutenção. Para informações mais completas, acesse nosso artigo sobre a atualização.   Lembramos que este tópico é destinado aos relatos de bugs da Atualização 1.0.2.   Grande abraço e boa sorte no campo de batalha!

MA77: Saudações, comandantes!   Com os recentes problemas no servidor, nós estamos cancelando os Avanços na data de hoje (12/06/2018) para evitar possíveis problemas que podem ocorrer até que todos os problemas sejam solucionados.   Pedimos desculpas por qualquer inconveniente causado e iremos mantê-los atualizados assim que tivermos qualquer novidade.    

Felipe6666Original:   ¡Corregido!

Gnomon:   Thanks for that feedback about that! I'll be sure to bring it up with our teams for the next patch and see if we can keep that going.   

Gnomon:  

Gnomon:  Anytime! Thanks for the kind words    I'll have a feedback post up tomorrow (after the update goes live) in Wargaming Community Feedback Requests, so keep an eye out for that as well. 

MA77:   ​Oi MADE,   É bastante simples: 3 = número máximo de jogadores em batalha e 30 = pontuação máxima da soma do nível dos tanques.   Dito isto, você pode entrar na batalha com até três jogadores usando três tanques de nível X. 

Gnomon:   I'm excited for an ice-powered Sora.  

Gnomon: I was looking forward to this game, and the trailer does not disappoint. I played way too much of those old Spiderman open-world games.    Also, pretty hype for Shadows Die Twice:    

DomoSapien:   BANNED!

Kidding, of course, but you should check out the series if you haven't already. I know the art style can be a bit cartoony for some, but the gameplay is just so darn solid. I hear the FFVII Remake is going to have a similar style of Action RPG combat, so maybe try that out first and see if it's up your alley

I haven't had a chance to watch Nintendo direct today, but I'm stoked about Ridley! If only they would change the physics back to Melee style, with the proper movement speed and fall speed I miss the feel of that game, and I'm always happy to see a bunch of CRT screens set up at LAN events for people to throw down on SSBM. Also, I hear there's a new Mario Party coming? Nintendo is going to make a killing in replacement Joycons, because controllers will  be thrown

Gnomon: Hey, everyone!   I hope you are ready for the arrival of Update 1.0.2 tomorrow!      The servers will go down June 13 from 01:00 PT | 03:00 CT | 04:00 PT until 07:30 PT | 09:30 CT | 10:30 ET. Please keep in mind that current Premium time players will be credited an additional 24 hours of Premium time to make up for the maintenance times.    With 1.0.2 comes two new Soviet tanks, adjustments to the Object 268 v4 and Object 430 II, revisited maps and the return of Klondike, customization for more Tiers, and some Bootcamp improvements!    The patch notes can be found in the following spoiler:   Update 1.0.2 Main Changes   Bootcamp has been significantly improved. A set of combat and Garage missions have been added. After completing Bootcamp, the missions are available to new players who have fought less than 1,000 battles and do not have any vehicles Tier VI and higher. Players learn important basic game mechanics and, upon completing the missions, earn useful items. The missions comprises three sets:   Completion of Bootcamp Briefing Road to Glory   After completing all sets, the player gets a token to exchange for any Tier VI non-Premium vehicle, even if the player has not researched it.   4. Introduces Training Center to help new players learn game basics. All topics are sorted by categories and presented as files containing images and brief descriptions. To access the Training Center, at the Game Menu, press ESC. Training Center consists of the following sections:                   For Newcomers
                Game Modes
                Player's Vehicle
                Vehicle Types
                Attack Basics
                Defense Basics
                Other   5. Map Revisions: Several issues regarding specific map locations have been fixed, as some passages to areas not intended for playing have been removed. These include:   Ruinberg Cliff Abbey Sand River Tundra
6. Map Balance Improvements:   Fjords Malinovka Mountain Pass Erlenberg
7. The Klondike map is re-worked in HD, added for Grand Battles only, and is intended only for the Standard Battle type.   8. Vehicle Exterior Customization:   If a player wants to change the vehicle exterior, the vehicle is now transferred to a special customization area in the Garage. Styles are now applicable to Tier VI and VIII vehicles, and not only Premiums. The Exterior window interface has been improved.
9. Some changes to the Garage Interface and the introduction of new sounds.   10. Changes when launching the game via WGC:   The WoT launch script has been improved, so players get to Garage as fast as possible. The current login screen has been reworked to reduce the amount of information a player needs to enter when launching the game. Players can now select the server via the game settings in order to meet their interests (clan battles, tournaments, etc.).  
Changes to Vehicle Technical Characteristics
1. The following vehicles have been added to the U.S.S.R. nation:   К-91 Object 277

Changed reload time from 11.5 to 12.5 s. Changed aiming time from 2.5 to 2.7 s. Replaced the 3BM (experimental) AP shell with the 3VBK HEAT shell (penetration: 340 mm). Increased concealment by 20%. Changed the positions of ammo rack and fuel tanks.
6. K-91 technical characteristic changes according to the results of Common Test 2:   Changed the durability from 1,800 to 1,950 HP.

7. Fixed the following issues:   Removed an invisible obstacle on the Tundra map. Fixed the issue of earning Mastery Badges on the Centurion Mk. 5/1 RAAC. Fixed the issue that prevented players from purchasing camouflage when using low-screen resolutions. Battle events and in-battle notifications settings (text) are displayed in the same way. Improved display of camouflage applied to the Object 705. Mannerheim Line and Fjords maps: Removed some passages to areas not intended for playing and areas where players could get stuck. Improved quality of some objects on maps.
8. Fixed the following known issues:   The issue related to improper display position of Marks of Excellence on the 8,8 cm Flak 41 L/74 mounted on the Pz.Sfl. IVc tank destroyer. The vehicle panel does not get locked upon confirming readiness in Special Battles. Crew members can be retrained to special vehicles that are currently not available in the game. No protection from spam-clicking on the minimap. Equipment tooltips do not display dynamic technical characteristics. Vehicle type icons in the vehicle panels do not change their color dynamically, when selecting the Colorblind mode in battle. Disabled "free" crew retraining to vehicles of the same type. When a player destroys a vehicle by overturning it, this vehicle is not counted towards the total number of vehicles the player destroyed. A vehicle with mounted standard and Improved equipment cannot be sold. The recruiter's Recruiting Office does not display the recruits and reservists they invited — if the recruiter's account is restored to a state, before the moment when recruits accepted the invitation. Mismatch the Personal Missions descriptions (for Platoons) in battle (upon pressing TAB), Battle Results, and congratulation window. The Recruit button is displayed in the congratulation window, though a female crew member has already been recruited. The badge about base capture is displayed before the indicated number of points is accumulated. The order of events for received damage is sometimes mixed up in the damage log. The text of Mission conditions is not displayed in the congratulation window, provided the required vehicle type is specified in the Mission conditions. In some cases, the sound and effect of receiving damage are missing. Upon clicking Paint the Whole Vehicle, paint is not applied to the entire vehicle in case of some tank destroyers and SPGs. When changing a shell type while reloading a magazine, shells in the magazine are displayed as already loaded. When a spotted enemy vehicle gets stunned, it is no longer visible, and the stunned player uses a First Aid Kit, while still unspotted, then the stun indicator is still displayed above this vehicle to its opponents when spotted again. When a vehicle is destroyed, the log disappears, provided the player has not enabled the "Show in Postmortem mode vehicle that destroyed your vehicle" option. The amount of damage received by the shot that destroyed a player's vehicle is not displayed in the log.   Also, be sure to check out our portal article for more information about 1.0.2: Update 1.0.2 Is Here!    Thanks, everyone, and see you on the battlefield tomorrow!

DomoSapien: No Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer, though?

My personal highlights: KH3, Tunic, My Friend Pedro, *Unannounced Square Enix Title* on the schedule for today's Sony conference (we all know it's FFVII Remake), Halo, Fallout 76

DomoSapien: CM Made a comment about this in the June 11th Megathread (which your thread was likely merged into, rather than deleted) - We are discussing compensation today and will post more info as soon as we have it.

DomoSapien:
Did you? Gah, sorry. I just try to give credit where credit is due
I was going to make my own strat sketch but I already dumped so many hours into the screenshots that I was super-fried and didn't have the energy to go the extra mile. They're legible enough!   Gitting gud is one of those unattainable goals that I will perpetually struggle towards but never achieve :'(

Jambijon: Hey Everybody, With the recent server issues we are going to postpone advances for today to avoid any other issues that may occur until we get these server issues flushed out. Sorry for the inconvenience and we will update you as soon as we have more information.

BigDaddyLaxative: Hey Everybody,   With the recent server issues we are going to postpone advances for today to avoid any other issues that may occur until we get these server issues flushed out.   Sorry for the inconvenience and we will update you as soon as we have more information.

Hambijon: Hey Everybody,   With the recent server issues we are going to postpone advances for today to avoid any other issues that may occur until we get these server issues flushed out.   Sorry for the inconvenience and we will update you as soon as we have more information.

DomoSapien: Great points! Hope you don't mind I snagged your tips and added them to my guide  
I had a traumatic experience around C9 during the "Open Fire!" finals in Cyprus, so I definitely don't utilize that position as much as I should. Definitely should have grabbed some screenshots of that position, in retrospect. 

DomoSapien:  Algray is amazing. Not only is he an excellent player, he's one of the most knowledgeable and friendly people we have in CS. I can't say enough good things about him.

Jambijon:   This is just the beginning!  We will have more that fall on different days for sure!

BigDaddyLaxative:   This is just the beginning!  We will have more that fall on different days for sure!

Hambijon:   This is just the beginning!  We will have more that fall on different days for sure!

DomoSapien: Having worked in support for over 2 years, I can confirm that asking you to disable your mods is one of the first steps in any tech related troubleshooting. Eliminating false positives will provide the team with more accurate data, that they can provide to the dev team when filing a bug report.

DomoSapien: Tankers,   You may have noticed that all our hamsterwheels are spinning again, and the server issues appear to have stabilized.   If you continue to experience issues please make sure to leave a comment in the thread I linked above. ^   Shoutout to CabbageMechanic for getting that announcement out ASAP this morning!  

TeriyakiTanker:   You mean it isn't hacks?  Mind blown.......

TeriyakiTanker:   That's funny because they have had it 3 times this year so far; 1 January, 26-29 January, and 27 April - 1 May.  Seems to me they are doing it more often than past years.  I would guess around the 4th of July will be the next one.

DomoSapien:   Well, there's _Irony_who was my team captain for the company-wide internal 3v3 tournament a couple years ago. I'd say he's pretty good. Thanks to him we went to Cyprus for the finals; he also won the 1v1 tournament last year and was on the Wargaming team at Tokyo Game Show  

DomoSapien:  
Well, I wouldn't say Fallout 4 is the best example because Fallout games have always relied in part on their thriving mod community. I actually just started re-playing FO4 because of the FO76 announcement, and running it with mods this time around has definitely made it much more enjoyable. I have a foliage mod installed that makes the wasteland look beautiful and lush instead of barren; highly recommend.

I digress, though. To my knowledge we have not had a map design contest, and as much as I would absolutely love to have one that would be something that would need to be a cross-regional initiative, if it were tied to any promises of potential implementation. I'd hate for someone to put in a bunch of work designing a map, only to never see it implemented. 

I am indeed quite happy to bring it up with the team, as I personally would love to see more user-generated content implemented in the game client. The closest thing to that we've done so far would probably be the SPG view that we eventually adopted into the game client (press G to change view in artillery mode) which was originally the winning entry in a community mod contest. 

DomoSapien:   I actually have mixed feelings about this being moderated because although it was definitely non-constructive, I was hoping to respond to it. The reason a 1500 recent WN8 employee is giving you strategies for the game is that these strategies are directed primarily at new or returning players that haven't played the game in quite some time. The maps were re-worked in HD and there are some small differences between the old and new versions.   If you'd like to hop on your main and platoon with me, maybe I'll finally git gud so my WN8 is higher than 1500?

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Make sure to check out the Supertest thread for Mines & Glacier! I'm happy to forward any feedback from this thread but the best place to get the most visibility on your suggestions will be the dedicated thread.

CabbageMechanic: Hey Tankers,

The morning server team got in earlier and set to work, they say they have now resolved the issue.  We are still monitoring but so far our tests confirm stability.  Keep us updated if you experience any more issues, we will be discussing compensation today and I will report back when I have details.

Apologies again for the inconvenience,

CM

TeriyakiTanker: I enjoy this map a lot when I play it BUT they really need to do something about making the middle of the map playable.  And there is an issue with the North spawn being able to scout all the tanks from the south spawn crossing the map extremely easily giving the north spawn a serious advantage if they have a good scout.

CabbageMechanic:  
We will 100% be compensating Premium Time, and will pursue other options (I know a lot of people have mentioned boosters).  At this time I don't know what it looks like exactly yet, so I have no more details to share.

CabbageMechanic:  

CabbageMechanic:  
Thanks for posting, we have also confirmed.  1984BigBrother is submitting more data to the server team now.  Apologies for the inconvenience everyone, we're not engineers but we have dispatched MeatheadMilitia to the server room to give inspiring speeches and deliver bacon and coffee to them.

CabbageMechanic:  
Not sure yet
 

CabbageMechanic:  
CS is (very understandably) flooded right now, and may have to hold up until a full accounting of damages can be done.  We will make sure you get your equipment/credits returned.

 

CabbageMechanic: We just did a full cluster restart, things appear to be stable now but we are monitoring the situation.

DomoSapien:  FIRING LANES Map Division:
North Spawn:South Spawn: Mines is a North-South map, with the typical split of positioning orienting itself diagonally, more of the western flank being accessible to the North and more of the Eastern town being accessible to the South. Typically featuring an explosive start, a bit of a lull towards the middle of the battle with poking and prodding to control the central hill. The West Flank:
This flank offers a bit more cover and safe sniping positions for the North-spawning team; a bold push by this team can allow lights and fast mediums to take advantageous sniping positions and land shells in the rear and sides of enemy heavies pushing middle, through some gaps in the rocks. Both teams on this flank must be hyper-aware of hidden TD's lurking near spawn, as one can quickly find their hitpoints reduced to nothing, sometimes in a split-second. It is important to ensure coverage of this flank without over-committing resources that would better be utilized elsewhere. If you are finding yourself waiting for half your team to get wiped out before firing at anything from this flank, consider relocating early next time.EXPAND:   The Middle Flank:I'm inclined to agree with Cajun_'s assessment: The middle flank is one of the most important on this map, and it often makes or breaks the game for either team. Control of this zone is vital in the early game: If you have the mobility, plan to either rush up the hill or rush up to just before the middle rock near the hill. You will have the opportunity to tag some enemies in the flank while they rush up to the top - and often a well-placed track shot will result in a completely-melted enemy health bar before they can get their tracks back up and resume their climb. Heavies should plan to stick around and play some peek-a-boo with the enemy heavies and medium on the hill, if they are not committing to one of the other heavy tank hotspots such as the Northeast corner. EXPAND:  The East Flank:The East Flank Typically consists of brawling in/around the town in the Northeast corner. Your heavies will tend to go to the corner of the hill/castle, where the rocks and an abandoned portion of the castle offer opportunities for sidescraping and hulldown play. The town, despite its ample buildings, is surprisingly vulnerable to crossfire. Both teams, if choosing to enter the town, will approach from a direction that is as far as possible from the enemy position. Teams spawning in the North tend to go around the Northernmost side of the city, or sit in the natural depression directly to the West of town. Vehicles with strong turrets and decent gun depression can utilize this as a defensive foothold and support any vehicles that choose to brawl directly around the corner instead. On the other hand, the Southern team has to traverse an arguably more dangerous approach to town, typically hanging as far East as possible and keeping any potential hard cover between the enemy spawn (and the hill) as sparse as it may be. Once in town, the Southern team will need to be aware of TD support from the Northern spawn, as well as supporting fire from the hill right next to them, if the North team won the hill push. If you spawned in the South, keep an eye on your map, and consider relocating sooner than later if you get pinched around the Northeast corner.
 EXPAND 
Anyway, that's about all I have for Mines. I know this map can be quite confusing for some players, as I definitely struggle with it myself. Hopefully you found something up here helpful, and hopefully a bit of light reading is a nice break for everyone being affected by the ongoing server issues. Fingers crossed that hopefully we're getting close to a solution, and our hamsterwheels will all start turning again soon.
As a friendly reminder, we have some changes for Mines (and Glacier!) currently being tested. Please check out the forum thread, and make sure to leave some feedback about what you think of the new versions!

MA77:   Não há nenhuma restrição quanto ao mesmo tipo de tanque, Fan_Vina. 

DomoSapien: Figured it couldn't hurt to get a pinned, closed topic up so the information is readily accessible.

DomoSapien: We're probably good on WGCheck reports for now, quite a few players have submitted them.
