Lert: I strongly doubt it. You need a pretty beefy CPU and GPU and RAM to run this game acceptably. But you could always try.

Lert: Found on Imgur.  

pizzastorm:   This is our first time partnering with OSD for something like this. Depending on how it goes, we hope to expand on this in the future. We had hoped to incorporate Canadian Forces with this as well, but the timeline with   OSD didn't pan out. So we are looking to do something with Canadian and NATO forces in 2015.    

Lert:   Best out of all the ones I've seen, but that's personal opinion.   Why I like +/-2 MM spread:   - Sufficient variety in tanks to fight - Short queueue times - Every tank is useful - Sufficient challenge when you're bottom tier - Sufficient 'stress of carrying' when you're top tier   Losing some of those would, IMO, adversely affect my enjoyment of the game. It is the challenge that I enjoy when bottom tier, and the 'stress of carrying' when I'm top tier. If there were no top or bottom tier tanks, that would all just meld together in a gravy of sameness. That sameness if why I never played any online FPS game for very long (and I've tried several) - everybody was always the same.   The above is just my opinion.

Lert:   Yes. If it were visible who repped who, maybe it would start to actually mean something, even very small.   I still want to trade in my rep for a prize.

KMaus: For players that dislike the system, or feel bullied / intimidated by negative rep:

I specifically want to know what you think of the proposal to make rep visible to everyone: better or worse?


Thanks for all the suggestions!
This was a player-raised initiative, and we're looking forward to seeing what you decide :)

Lert: Before you remove it, can I exchange my rep for some in-game bonus, like a rare premium or summat?

KMaus: working to update this! stay tuned

UPDATE 1/8/15
Did you or someone you know, receive a package from Wargaming? We want to hear about it! Post your photos, videos, notes - whatever you have here! Or share them on your social channels using the hashtag #WargamingCares   

Pigeon_of_War:   At this point, I would just recommend a clean installation. Start fresh and then mod as you please. Be careful, some mods aren't safe.

KMaus: Tankers!

Lert: Way I see it, repeat purchases costing the same is WG's way to punish people who were stupid enough to sell a premie to begin with.

Lert: KV-2.   The answer to "what tier 6 should I get" is always, always KV-2.

Lert: You know what, forget it. Sick and tired of arguing with idiots who just don't get it. Did way too much of it, never helps. Just letting it go is much better for my bloodpressure.   Enjoy your frustration, Hillaan. It's not going to change, so you might as well get used to it. Or go play something more your speed, like Hello Kitty Online.

ElPozoleOlmeca:   Si tu país no tiene orugas entonces no importa tanto, aunque siempre puedes modificar el tanque para darle orugas    Jaja creo que si, el ganador del mejor dibujo se lleva un adicional de 1000 oro. Ya se que no es mucho pero este concurso es algo mini. Para diciembre tenemos algo más grande planeado.

The_Chieftain:   My favorite bit about his story is that the U.S. Marines rejected him for being too small and wimpy.  

The_Chieftain:   My next Hatch is about the Ripper scheme (request from XBox, it's going to be on sale in a week or two and they wanted me to drumbeat it a bit), but the one after that references a movie with an obscure bit of real-world history central to the plot which seemed so bizarre that critics slated it for being too fantastical to believe, and historians similarly pooh-poohed it.      

Capitao_Desastre_:   Ups... Obrigado 

Lert:   Same gun basically as on the T49, and that sees tier 10's all day erry day. 152mm HE is going to hurt anything it hits and ruin a Waffletractors day every time.  

Lert:   Yes. And as long as the player in the undertiered tank understands that and is capable of doing that, I don't really mind him being undertiered.

Lert: Breaking through a localized stalemate can* be worth sacrificing a tank for. The problem is recognizing when that opportunity is there. And you have to be lucky enough that your pubs will know to push when you do.   *sometimes

Lert:   It is still within the T4's own top MM range, though. If the T4 player is OK with not having the chance to get top tier, then I see no problem with him platooning with pref 5's.  

Lert:   Personally I'd rather have a blue player in a properly tiered tank than an undertiered one, but given the choice outlined above, 9/10 times I'd prefer a good player in a slightly undertiered tank than a red player in a properly tiered one. IE a blue player in a Tiger in a tier 10 match can usually* be counted on to be more effective than a red player in an IS-8 in the same match.   *Usually, not always.

dance210:   No. Skirmish 45 PLAYOFFS start today. Playoffs.   I was telling the person asking about Skirmish 45 payouts that it happens after the tournament is over....

Hypnotik:   Based on the time of your posts, you were looking at the convoys from last night, as they had not moved yet. So the riots not being there is because they had already been played out last night.   As for the convoys that don't have a next destination - they only last for 4 days. Every 2 days, 6 new convoys get introduced. Today you should see a new set that wasn't on the map yesterday.  

Hypnotik: Yes, actually.

dance210:   Skirmish 45 playoffs start today.   So...after the tournament is over?

Lert:   FTR also says that that information is not final, and likely to change before those missions are rolled out.

Lert:   Now who is pretending he is the 'arbitrators of all that is WOT'. You cite games that have nothing to do with WoT as sources to back up your faulty opinions, despite acknowledging that where WoT is concerned, you know absolutely nothing. Newsflash: this isn't any of those other games (That we also played, FYI). This is WoT.   Please stop suggesting that everyone who disagrees with you (despite having played WoT much longer than you, have magnitudes of times more games played in it than you and a demonstrably better understanding of gameplay mechanics than you) is a WG apologist. Maybe you need to read up on your Dunning-Kruger and think about how that applies to you in this situation. Pro-tip: it does, very much so. You telling us how WoT 'should be' is like me telling Michael Schumacher how to drive a formula 1 car.   Me? An apologist? Yes. Ofcourse. I fully agree with everything WG does. You know, apart from their lack of a good tutorial, clunky and unexplained vision mechanics, woefully inadequate forum moderation, inequality between server specials, buggy patch releases, pathetically unoptimized game engine, memory leaks, unreliable support with canned responses, vehicle imbalances that go unaddressed waaaay too long, ahole attitude from the Minsk leadership, etc etc etc. I have had more RO days than you posts on the forum, for speaking against WG. But, yeah, feel free to continue to claim I'm an apologist. And Bigfoot is real and Elvis is still alive, news at eleven.   I also find it very amusing that instead of trying to support your argument about why you think MM is faulty and should be adjusted, you resort to personal insults. Ad hominem is an ugly thing.   Can't handle the +2/-2 MM spread? Then go back to your precious other games that you love so much, and leave WoT for the people who can adapt to what's happening instead of blindly trying to same thing over and over and over again regardless of tier placing, map type, enemy deployment, etc etc.   Fact is that people who think +/-2 MM spread 'should be fixed' are a vocal minority. Every time this has been put to a poll so far the majority has voted for it being fine as is. Feel free to make your own poll. I dare you. I double dare you. See for yourself.

Lert:   Tired old argument. If you know of a better way for us-the-community to reach the rest of the community than posting on the forum, then please tell us instead of making destructive comments on threads which actually do try.
