skyzefawlun, on Jun 30 2011 - 10:33, said: Yes, you do.  The problem is that almost every time the patches have been delayed quite a bit.  I understand that you'd rather release functioning content than keep to a strict schedule, but you have to understand that after numerous delays and failures to meet stated deadlines, many of us have become rather hesitant to accept the dates you set forth.  I know I'm not alone on this as pretty much everyone I talked to had assumed this patch would come out mid July when we heard you said it would be either June 21st or 28th to a friend at the meetup after E3.  I know this patch did make your latest most public deadline, that being the end of June, but this is the exception.  Had I known you'd actually make the deadline, I would have built up a little more XP on my Sleazy Hate, but sadly I had a comcastic experience a couple days ago and wasn't able to put much time into it.

It will allow us to plan progression. For example if I was 150k towards an IS-4 from an IS-3 and you decided to drop the patch in I'd be rather peeved.
It'll just allow us to work to a deadline.

SpectreHD, on 30 June 2011 - 09:41 AM, said: I know this is not a thread but a Question.
So where is the 8.8cm buffs we saw in the 0.6.4 test which was removed from the official patch? Overlord said that you guys had no time to test the changes but yet we still get an ROF nerf for an accuracy increase(8.8 L56) that should have been there from the beginning?
Seriously, can you not give the 8.8 L56 more penetration since it needs that more than damage? I cannot believe it is my best gun on the VK3002DB while all my peers get guns with higher penetration all the while being put into matches with Tier 9 heavies. The 8.8 L71 is the only one that needs a damage increase because as of right now, the Tiger is still the weakest Tier 7 heavy.
But what I really want to know is why has the improvements to the 8.8 L56 and L71 (the damage increase) was left out in this patch? Are we ever going to see a much deserved inprovement to this guns at all?

WonderSausage, on 30 June 2011 - 08:47 AM, said: Does this fix the single-digit FPS performance problems on high-end computers with high-end video cards?
The flagship nVidia GeForce GTX 590 video card ($700) at the moment gets 4-8 fps in zoom mode in WoT 6.4. This makes the game unplayable.
And if you've read the threads, this is NOT affected in any way by any of the game's graphics settings, and it happens (to a greater or lesser degree) on every display driver version on both nVidia and ATI, including the very latest beta drivers.

Marseille, on 30 June 2011 - 02:01 AM, said: I suppose it makes sense to avoid lawsuits by overzealous folks and the sort, but just out of curiosity: What's so offensive and/or controversial about a map being called the Mannerheim Line? It's simply a historical location, like Prokhorovka - you'd be calling the map what it is.
...Say, is this also the reason why Pagorki's name was changed to Mines, or was Mines simply a more fitting name for the map?


zombieshindig, on 30 June 2011 - 02:12 AM, said: "- Fixed damage models of the T1 hvy, M6 and M6A2E1."
Could a Dev please briefly explain what was wrong with the M6A2E1, and how it has now been fixed?

Marseille, on 30 June 2011 - 02:16 AM, said: Though I'm not a dev (), one such problem with the M6A2E1 is that its massive front hull armor is effectively useless if the opponent shoots at its tracks. Such a shot will not only immobilize the tank, but also deal hull damage. I believe they're going to change the hitbox so that this can't happen (among other things).

TrueLeopard, on 30 June 2011 - 01:27 AM, said: I openly welcome the new patch. " Patch Day" is a day of excitement- full of promises kept. The long anticipated US TD line is finally here. Two new maps to boot. Things are looking up for WoT players. However, I am VERY saddened to see that the lag issue is still alive and wrecking player's games. In my last battle, the ping shot over 900, FPS down to zero. Ladies and Gentlemen, this has to stop. With the opening of the US server, comes US players AND US dollars. In short, We Americans are spending money for a game that sometimes becomes so unplayable, I just window out and stop the game. Now I know ALL the usual responses- yes my super fast DSL is working fine. I am running all the current drivers on a system that exceeds the game requirements. I have even dropped the res down, and am playing in ( ancient ) 16 bit color as well as the game processes at the lowest setting . I do this so I can HOPEFULLY avoid these crazy lag spikes ( to no avail). The problem as I see it is either : 1) The US server cannot handle the data it receives , or 2) The game server itself is too small. There is NO other reason these things keep happening to a GREAT GAME I have come to enjoy very much. PLEASE , let's put an end to this nonsense once and for all.
