[Corrida Armamentista] Regras & Regulamentos - Correção no Texto

Subject: [Corrida Armamentista] Regras & Regulamentos - Correção no Texto
Link on message: #11679980

MA77: Atenção todos os participantes da Corrida Armamentista!
 Percebemos que algumas das palavras em uma linha nas regras causaram alguma confusão e, por isso, pedimos desculpas. A linha que estamos falando é a seguinte: Um jogador recebe um multiplicador de clã somente do clã ao qual este jogador pertence no momento do término do evento de corrida armamentista, e caso as seguintes condições tenham sido atendidas:Lutou pelo menos 5 batalhas no evento Corrida Armamentista como parte deste clã depois que o jogador mais recente se juntou ao clã.
 Esta regra destina-se a impedir que os jogadores se juntem a um clã no último minuto e recebam grandes quantias de Títulos, embora não tenham participado. Queremos ter certeza de que somos transparentes com esses tipos de problemas e atualizamos o artigo do portal de acordo. Artigo: https://worldoftanks...ce-regulations/ Um jogador recebe um multiplicador de clã somente do clã ao qual este jogador pertence no momento do término do evento de Corrida Armamentista, e caso as seguintes condições tenham sido atendidas:Lutou pelo menos 5 batalhas no evento Corrida Armamentista como parte deste clã. Recebeu pelo menos 100 Pontos de Fama pessoais como parte deste clã.
 Pedimos desculpas por qualquer inconveniente que isso possa ter causado a você e, se houver outras alterações ou se precisar de mais esclarecimentos, não hesite em perguntar. Boa sorte no campo de batalha!

Big thanks to everyone for their sharp eyes; the typo is being corrected as we speak. It is actually the Obj 268, and not the Obj 263(B).

DomoSapien: I believe it is indeed for scheduling purposes, although I'm not sure why it's so much longer than the IS-7. Probably, like you said, to round things off for the start of July.

Feedback is noted! This overview is light because the month is light on goings-on in general. Father's day will have some special missions, but nothing that would require you to make any substantial preparations in advance.

Hey Rita, 

Thanks for chiming in!  I agree, Ph3lan is a great guy who entirely deserves to be where he is.  My statement is an honest version of events and not intended to "throw anyone under the bus", hence it not naming anyone or assigning any blame.

Regarding the "kindling", I assume you are referring to the statement issued in this Kotaku article.  As it happens, I agree entirely.  That statement was both unnecessary and unfounded, and if not yet given I am happy to extend SirFoch an apology for it.  Those responsible are no longer with the company.

Thanks for stopping by!

Link on message: #11678493

CabbageMechanic: Hello,

I have made a longer post addressing this issue here.

TL;DR:

- This section of the EULA isn't new - It is primarily to give us the properly codified recourse to take action against websites who use copyrighted material in inappropriate ways (to use two real examples, alongside neo-Nazi propaganda and pornography)
- No one is going to be banned or lose their account for expressing critical opinions.

CabbageMechanic: It is unfortunate that there is some very poor reporting being done, because this section of the EULA is not new and will not change how we treat anyone.  Here is a link to the 2015 EULA which contains the same language.  

Regarding the SirFoch incident, that was sparked by an erroneous and regrettable statement made by an employee who had neither the authority nor ability to go through with placing copyright strikes on anyone.  It has never been and will never be our policy to make copyright strikes against content creators, and we have directly apologized for one of our staff making the implication.

The section of the EULA currently being discussed is aimed specifically at giving us properly codified recourse against "fan" sites who use WoT logos/other things alongside other content that we might find objectionable.  To use examples that have actually happened, neo-Nazi propaganda and pornography.  We have not and will continue to not take any such actions against legitimate fansites who happen to criticize Wargaming.

To anyone who thinks we make a habit of exercising censorship against critical viewpoints, I encourage you to spend literally any time at all in this General Discussion forum.  We remove and sanction posts that violate forum rules (Mainly inappropriate language, incitement of harassment, and people who wear socks with sandals), but critical opinions are fair game.

As always, we appreciate your feedback and hope to see you on the battlefield.

DomoSapien: We mentioned this issue with last month's Mastery missions. I can't make any guarantees since I haven't seen the missions yet, but to my knowledge the 3 emblems were a biproduct of the redesigned customization system, as each emblem must be mounted individually versus being able to duplicate the emblem on the other side of your tank free of charge, and will hopefully be corrected with this month's Mastery Missions.

Perhaps the same thing here? I was curious as to what happens to that 100% crew that we get to keep if we don't have enough barracks space.

DomoSapien: Gift crews etc. are automatically assigned to temporary bunks in your barracks. Say you have 100 barracks slots, and you receive 8 more from the FL tanks. Your barracks will read: 108/100. This means that if you were to purchase 30 additional bunks, you would only have 22 free, as the 8 crewmen would take up 8 of your newly-purchased bunks.

Having given this issue further consideration and due to the overwhelming negative response to this proposal we are now announcing the discontinuation of the proposal to remove/re-balance PMM Premiums.   PMM Premiums will be left as they were sold.   Going forward we will endeavour to make changes to MM to facilitate a better player experience, rather than changing items paying customers have purchased.   We are currently considering a reprogramming of MM to include provisions to make 1/3 of all matches same tier, 1/3 of all matches 2 tiers and 1/3 of all matches 3 tiers. Our inflexible position on 3/5/7 as the preferred template has been identified, along with our preoccupation with +2/-2 MM as the true problem with the current MM.   Given the success of Frontline we can see no realistic alternative to increasing the frequency of single tier and 2 tier matches for all tiers in any effort to improve the player experience.   Thank You for your patience and continued patronage.     Hope this is clear enough for you. FYI, when it comes to insults no one meets or matches WG's treatment of its own customers. Your organisation takes the cake when it comes to "wiping with the hand that feeds you". :facepalm:
 

DomoSapien: Sorry, appears I was drawing an inference that wasn't there as well. I got a bit confused because the quotation marks typically implies sarcasm, but the term Global Team was being used literally in this case. 

To clarify, CabbageMechanic is one of my Supervisors. I am a Community Coordinator, not a Manager. Making those types of responses is moreso in his wheelhouse. Making official statements regarding controversial policy is not something I am always able to do, but reporting on sentiment is indeed. I try to do whatever I can, even when I can't do much. I really do apologize if that is, in your opinion, me deflecting or not taking ownership of the issue, but I am not the only member of this team and I can't overstep my boundaries. So in this case I can't give you the type of response you would like to receive, if that's supposed to be an official policy statement.

 And I appreciate the clarification as well! I apologize for the misunderstanding but text is not the most efficient way to convey tone. We do indeed have a global team, namely the leadership team at Wargaming HQ in Cyprus, as well as the development team in Minsk!

View Post__WarChild__, on Jun 04 2018 - 13:23, said: What we have hee-yar...is a failure...to communicate (Cool Hand Luke)   First, let me address this:   the_Deadly_Bulb is one of the best allies Wargaming NA has.  He is incredibly supportive of new players.  He is patient, kind (isn't this from the Bible?), etc.  Additionally, he spends a lot of money on this game, not just for himself, but for other players as well.  He is a wise man and therefore ANYTHING he says should be taken to heart and given full consideration. I have nothing but respect and admiration for the_Deadly_Bulb.  :honoring:       Second, Wargaming NA has hired a bunch of new folks and I am impressed with their NA moxie, i.e. willingness to engage in conversations with the playerbase.  This is especially true since EVERY word they type will be used against them by the hundreds/thousands of viewers on the Forums - just check out some of the recent rant videos citing NA moderator responses.  Keep in mind that Wargaming is many different things and not just different companies like WoT and WoWS.  Wargaming RU is very different from Wargaming NA.  The people we deal with are Wargaming NA folks who are mostly American and have empathy for our plight here.  People like MeatheadMilitia, Bted72, TragicLoss, etc. are some of the well known public faces of WG here and I don't think anyone can say they're not decent, nice, good-hearted people.  I don't know Cabbage or Domo or KRZY, but they appear to WANT to respond to us to help keep the NA playerbase informed and somewhat content.  But they are hamstrung by a Wargaming RU company that is secretive, a little sneaky, and in a COST-SAVINGS mode currently - i.e. eliminating entire Seattle office, moving CA to TX, etc.   The future of Wargaming, especially here in NA seems a bit sketchy to me at the moment.  There is tremendous frustration and anger over PMM, MM and the lack of response out of Cypress.  NA Staff are well aware of this but are relatively powerless to deal with anything of significance.  I believe that they WANT to respond to us, but are given strict guidelines and fed Memos of Understanding from the home office (the equivalent of Kool-Aid) that they are required to disseminate.  Like their mothers taught them, when they don't have anything good to say, they keep it to themselves. (And if they talk out of turn, Wargaming will kill them apparently - just watch Meathead's WoT Weekly from 2 weeks ago).  
The point is, we should be thankful and respectful to the Wargaming NA staff and do our best not to put them into the middle of the fray with Wargaming RU.  If they get out of line, then they should be chastised for it like anyone.  But most of what has been said so far I do not believe is as negative as many people are taking it.  Cut them some slack and hopefully they will continue to try and keep us updated on the things that are ahead.  We ALL want Wargaming NA to be successful :great:     Happy Tanking!   __WarChild__     PS - Got ninja'd by the_Deadly_Bulb while typing this... :sceptic:

DomoSapien:
Thanks WarChild, I appreciate the kind words! I wouldn't say we are hamstrung by our global organization, as every part of our organization is working to improve our communication and transparency. It's a work in progress, and it's no easy task but I have a lot of confidence in all our teams moving forward. And I have no doubts as to the_Deadly_bulb's positivity in the community, he/she simply took me by surprise because I'm familiar with acronyms, including the meaning of that one in particular, and wasn't sure why it was directed at me personally.   Really didn't mean any offense by my initial comment, I was trying to help direct a frustrated player to a cost-effective alternative to the expensive bundles included with the T14 sale, and include a quick thank-you for the folks who support our game and literally provide me with a livelihood. 
The offer still stands, if you'd like to platoon up and get to know me better, I always accept any and all friend requests, and I'm happy to answer whatever questions I reasonably can. If being human and actually trying to have a conversation with you is indicative of failure, I'd rather be a failure and have meaningful conversations than selectively read and reply only to comments that are positive. Even if you don't have anything nice to say, and all the feedback is negative, it's still possible to rationally explain your position without resorting to insults. I simply ask that you treat others the way you would like to be treated.
 

View Post_Kradok_, on Jun 04 2018 - 13:50, said: Domo...   I appreciate all the comments... but you've still failed to answer the question...   If PMM tanks are the problem for MM, then why are you still selling them?   Can we get an answer for this?  All the 'compiling of data" doesn't really do squat to answer that for us...

DomoSapien:   This is information that I quite literally do not have at my disposal. As soon as we find out what exactly is going on with Preferential Matchmaking, I should hopefully have an answer for that question.    So, my personal take on it is this: I think the language in the article wasn't the greatest, because it suggests that pref MM tanks are the only issue with Matchmaking. That's not true, there are quite a few issues: you have games of 30 players each, with 5 different classes, classes that are divisible into subclasses, from 11 different nations, with mechanics unique to certain nations, and different maps that favor different classes above others (Prokhorovka vs. Himmelsdorf), furthermore some classes and subclasses are weighted differently than others (ie: the way the number of SPG's in a battle is limited.) In addition, players can leave the battle as soon as their vehicle is destroyed, meaning MM can't accurately predict how many vehicles it'll have at its disposal when forming a match. I can't claim to know precisely how each match is formed, but I know that there are tons of different variables it needs to account for: pref MM is just one of them. It adds strain to the matchmaker, versus being the sole burden and only cause for the lack of top-tier matches. By that logic the magic formula to being top-tier would therefore be playing tier IX exclusively, and I've had plenty of tier X games in my tier IX vehicles.

On the other hand, it never hurts to gather as much feedback as possible. Believe me, I understand that selling pref MM tanks despite the recent controversy is also a controversial move. Gathering more feedback to illustrate the volume & significance of sentiment, as well as urgency of this issue should theoretically expedite the process of getting that information, however. I'm not monitoring the thread, I'm doing my best to answer your questions with the information I have.

Like I said, I don't want to speculate because speculation leads to misinformation. I'd rather be honest with you and tell you that I don't know than start guessing and end up making promises on behalf of an organization that's much bigger than just little old me. Yes, the question has in fact been raised in a feedback report, I have not received any information regarding the question, and I don't think you're being mean at all (maybe a bit heavy on the sarcasm side, but definitely not mean :) ) On the contrary that's much more polite than some of the stuff I saw when I was working in CS :P

Regarding the ranking system, are you referring to the leaderboards after hitting 30 on your third prestige? I personally didn't make it past prestige 2 since I also overdid it a bit when the gamemode first came out and found myself going back to grind my T20 and Standard B instead; What would you recommend as a meaningful reward for making it onto the leaderboards? Perhaps some bonds or a unique emblem?

DomoSapien:
I think one of the concerns would be that segmenting players into Pref/Non-Pref matchmaking pools would place even more strain on the matchmaker than prior, resulting in long queue times for one of these groups of players, and the potential for drastically imbalanced matches. But perhaps there is a way to account for this! Thank you for the suggestion.
 

View PostSpectreHD, on Jun 04 2018 - 12:01, said:   I think he is just highlighting that he has been a WG supporter that others on the forums have gone as far and labelled him a shill. Even then he does not like the decision to alter the PMM vehicles.   He is also not insulting anyone. The "[edited]" in his post is just him showing how discontent he is. The profanity was not directed at any individual.     No, WG should still alter the MM. They got themselves into this mess with their wonderful 3/5/7 template even as tanks are more or less balanced within their same tier. So they should alter the MM, not only for preferential MM tanks even after whatever change the implement and players still keeping their original PMM vehicles, but for all tanks to not always be bottom tier MOST of the time.

DomoSapien:
Personally, I think it's disrespectful to call someone a shill for expressing support regarding something they enjoy. By that same logic I think it's unfair to ignore someone's feedback simply because they are upset and don't express it in the politest way. I understand where he's coming from and I genuinely want to hear what his suggestions would be to best address the situation. I genuinely don't know if Pref MM vehicles are having such a drastic impact on the 3/5/7 MM template or if that was simply poor wording on our part, but I want to make sure I can make my report as comprehensive and clear as possible. That means the largest possible volume of citations for all feedback points. The more people that express a particular position, the more examples of that I can include in the report.

View PostLesser_Spotted_Panzer, on Jun 04 2018 - 12:03, said:   Since you want to know what we would consider an acceptable alternative to the PMM changes, here are my demands/suggestions. Feel free to put them in your feedback report so that the development team can ignore them.     1) Fix the current MM system. 4tankers produced a video that suggested changing MM to 5/5/5 (among other changes). If that worked out as suggested, I would be fine with the removal of PMM status on my PMM tanks (so long as they get some buffage). The main reason people have their pitch forks out is because they are sick and tired of their premium tanks always being bottom tier. So changing our PMM tanks to always see tier 10 tanks is a major kick in the nads. 2) If you don't fix the current MM, I want my PMM tanks to remain as PMM tanks, but they still need to be buffed to be competitive. They are generally unplayable (or unprofitable) since the MM change a year ago. 3) If you really insist on removing their PMM status, I either want a) a full refund (in actual cash - yes I know that is not practical), b) The option to change to another equivalent tank (which is a problem for me since I have them all, or c) Give me a free BIA crew for each one as compensation for losing their PMM status.

DomoSapien: All interesting suggestions! I am genuinely curious to see how a 5/5/5 template would play out, and I'd definitely be interested in testing something like that out. I think some Pref tanks are in a better place than others, and it would have to be done carefully but usually they are only lacking in certain parameters. Slight buffs to these parameters (for example, the IS-6's penetration values) might be a great way to do it. I agree that a cash refund would be pretty impractical, but honestly the free BIA crew as compensation sounds pretty reasonable to me as a player. 

View Postcommander42, on Jun 04 2018 - 12:11, said:   anecdotal but, I know that some people on the forums have said they have spent thousands.  Most people who spend on the game will not spend that much, there are many many people who haven't spent any, and a lot of people who have contributed a small amount, and then the outliers who spend 4(or more..) digits on the game

DomoSapien: Certainly, with every free to play game there are some players who spend a loooot of money. And it's difficult to balance the needs of the players who have spent quite a bit on the game, make sure they feel like they're appreciated for the overwhelming financial support they have given our product, but make sure that all players are treated fairly, and players who spend less aren't treated as second-class citizens simply because they can't afford to dish out a bunch of cash on tanks.

I would disagree, based on what you've said so far I'd actually say you don't know me at all. I encourage you to read my meet the staff post and actually get to know me instead of wildly drawing inferences that don't exist. I'd be more than happy to platoon up, run some battles and chat with you on teamspeak so we can get to know eachother better and clear up any misunderstandings between us :) Feel free to send me an invite in-game!

DomoSapien:   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Just trying to be friendly and helpful. Sorry if me trying to be optimistic offended you, but what I said was genuine. I sincerely appreciate the support of all our players, as I know all too well how difficult it can be to fit premium purchases into one's budget when trying to, say, make ends meet in college like I was when I started playing. Buying a T34, for example, because I couldn't afford to keep buying Premium every month but needed credits for my Jagdpanther II, was a very big and difficult decision for me.

I'm sorry you feel that was a patronizing response, because it came from the heart. I understand you're passionate about the game that you know and love, just as I am.
