Darkflame, on 13 July 2011 - 04:52 PM, said: Overlord,
I love playing in clan wars, but I only have a few T8 tanks right now. As this game play is very addictive are there any plans to create map areas / provinces that have max tiers lower than 10 (would have less reward for holding them, so less interesting for high level players and clans)?

BaronJaeger, on 13 July 2011 - 01:24 AM, said: Overlord:
Other than the MM issues, one thing I hear a lot of people complain about is the fact that new players with no skill or knowledge of the game are buying high tier premiums and jumping right into high tier matches, making it frustrating for everyone. Is there possibly a chance we might see a "premium unlocking" feature someday? IMO it's a win/win for Wargaming, since new players that really wanted a certain premium would still need to advance through the tech trees, buying more premium accounts as well as gold to transfer xp if they really want to hurry. It would also increase the populations at lower levels allowing the MM a larger pool to draw from. And I'm sure most of the players would appreciate it if the upcoming players had a bit more knowledge and skill before they bought that Lowe. Thanks!!

Overlord: It's a bit tricky you know to impose such restrictions on those who
chose to pay money rather than invest time and effort to grind for
high tiers. So I think we won't do this.

PaladinX, on 12 July 2011 - 07:36 PM, said: I have a Premium account. I grinded to the Panther but I found that
the repair costs were deemed a bit too expensive (around 12k - 13k
to fully repair from wrecks) when you compared with the damage it
can do. You can still cover the costs when you win the battle but
if you losses you simply losses money (made only around 7k - 8k
credits with prem). Will the devs address this when they bumped the
Panther a tier lower?

little bit higher.

Can you give any details on any plans for specific improvements, such as narrowing the tier spread, etc?
Thanks for acknowledging my question, btw

Overlord: Narrowing tier spreads is perhaps the only issue we are not going
to address. It is really controversial and may bring more harm than
good.

salihe, on 11 July 2011 - 06:36 PM, said: Another question occurred to me, and I didn't want to detract from
my previous question by editing it in there.
Have you guys ever thought about implementing a minimum experience amount for various tanks? The reason I ask is because, in my PzIII and now in my PzIV, I'm getting put in matches where I'm against tier 8 tanks, and the outcome of those is generally getting one-shot in a couple minutes or ten minutes, depending on what my team is doing. Then, when the match ends, I find that I got 25 exp, 22 exp, 31 exp, etc. Matches with such a miniscule gain are a colossal waste of time, and they tend to be at least half of the matches I get. So, a minimum experience bar would be awesome, ie a person gets a set minimum amount of experience regardless of what happened in the match. It wouldn't need to be much; two or three hundred would be sufficient compensation for the time spent. Good matches net me anywhere from 500-1000, so 200-300 would be about half of the lower end of that. It would help make the grind up the tiers a lot less long and painful.
Course, I suppose if I don't get thrown in matches with 7 tier 8 tanks, it wouldn't be an issue, lol. But since that is either out of the question or the planned date for any changes are way off in the future, the minimum experience gain would be nice in the meantime.

Overlord: Minimum experience per battle opens vast exploiting
opportunities.
Btw, if you are getting 20-100 exp per battle without going afk, you are doing smth wrong.

WarStore, on 11 July 2011 - 05:27 AM, said: Actually, the Panther frontal slope is at 55 degree.
80/sin (55) = 97,66.. not much
but
80/ cos (55) = 139,47 or 80/sin(35) = 139,47
but I'm not sure... it's been years since a last saw trigonometry.
Also, there is a normalization in game, which I'm not sure how it works, so Overlord could gives us hint about this.

Overlord: If it it sloped at 55 degrees from vertical, then
80/cos55 = 139.5 mm
is correct.
80/cos55 = 139.5 mm
is correct.

WarStore, on 10 July 2011 - 08:17 PM, said: So,
I was in this match a today, when I decided to finish off an KV3 at 12% HP.
Aim for its hull... critical hit
As you can see, I didn't shoot the tracks.

This one was my fourth 0 damage hit today. But this one you can't deny there is something wrong.
Is it still fine?

Cant tell much from the screenshot.
Might have hit an external module.

Q1: What gun choices will be available on the Panther, such as will it keep the 8.8cm L/71 or will it lose it and gain another gun in its place.
Q2 (Only if the 8.8cm L/71 is getting removed): If you don't mind me asking, why this decision was made?

Overlord: 1. 7.5 L100 as top one.
2. It hasnt been made yet actually.

We are at patch 0.6.5 and 0.6.6 will most likely come the week before august. Patch 0.6.7 will be in september (I think) there is no planned 0.6.8 or 0.6.9 (I think, mainly because the content of those would-be patches are being tacked onto 0.7.0)

can't you transform the US T34 into an IS4, until we get the M103, and hopefully have a real tier 9 heavy, and not just a disguised tier 7?

Overlord: Tier 7? Cmon, it would fit tier 8 well.
Im afraid will have to wait until the revision.

You know people are talking about trying to get mass boycotts going on to get people to stop buying gold, tons of people talking about how they quit the game, and talking about spreading the word about how the matchmaking system is broken. This one issue is driving people away and preventing more people from joining because of the bad press which originates from the players. Some informative comment or acknowledgement or plan or something would help a great deal. Every day this subject gets ignored is one more day where people get more fed up, and more people leave the game and tell more people to avoid it, and it's only going to get worse, because every day the subject gets ignored only further reinforces people's belief that you guys, the developers, simply don't care.

yes.

Overlord: 1. Yes, planning to introduce some improvements.
2. To the better.
Considering limitations on vehicles
of the same class per team, fixing some weird balancing (3 lowes vs
3 ferdinands), and some other things.
2. To the better.

Diedel, on 09 July 2011 - 08:21 PM, said: Will we ever/soon get some time based premium options ? I really
would like to get premium, but i am playing to few games each day,
or sometimes none for a few days, so that the full day/week/month
options are not that interesting. I would love to get some options
based on time spent in battles, like iirc APB had. Any chance there
might be something like that in the future ?
An one additional premium question: Would it be possible that premium will be shared between WoT, WoWP and WoB, that would be really cool and you can play only one at a time any way i would guess.

Overlord: 1. Not planning to introduce such options.
2. Possibly in some way. Sounds like a plan.

With the release of the E100 and it's second turret and gun, will we be required to research the second gun and turret, or will the tank already be elited like the other Tier 10 tanks.

Because you have told us that M103 and T110 will come together

Will the T95 get a speed/climb rate increase?

Will the T95 get a speed/climb rate increase?
Overlord: Unlikely, since overall performance of t95 is very good.
