Overlord: Passing-ability determines speed and acceleration of the vehicle on terrains, i.e. different kinds of non-asphalted soils.

Overlord: No ETA currently. Either along with release or shortly after it. The update is going to be huge and contain up to 15 new vehicles, some new maps, multiple fixes, including the fix for 90% of current notorious stuck places, and much more.
But let's leave it for another conversation.

Overlord: Unfortunately, no. They will be added in 0.6.4.X, they are going through internal testing at this time.

Overlord: This is not supposed to affect Jagdtiger, as it requires some "positive" adjustments.

Tanitha: They fixed that, its 11 months early now.

Overlord: Not 100% sure, think no. It's not.

Overlord: Not that much OP, but Ferdinand had 1.3% better survival ratio, 4% higher avg experience per battle than ISU-152.
Can't say it is a nerf in the full sense, more like minor adjustments, since the decrease is insignificant.

Tanitha: Its not that I support "no tier limits" Its usually more like..
Tan: Its meant to be like this... "no tier limits etc"
Players: WTH? WHY?
Tan: Probably because of x, y, z.
I don't usually spend much time complaining about things, because from a lot of beta experience I know things change so much and so often. The clan war's isn't into beta yet. When it lands in game there should be plenty of time for us to look at it, and suggest changes to things.

Tanitha: When it does land in game, its only 50% complete. So sounds like they have masses planned to add to it.
As for low quality land and tier limits on the low quality low earning land, its sounds likes good suggestion. But I think the map might be a little small for it. For starters there will be a euro only map and 200 pieces of land.
If you have a 100 player clan, and have 15 players on the map in 6 pieces of land that's 90 of your 100 players active. 33 clans holding 6 land each is the 200 land. Its not as though there's a ton of land to set 1/2 of it to low level land. Imagine the Russian server with 1+ mil players currently and the same 200 land map. That's already 5000 players in game per 1 piece of land.

Tanitha: Battles scheduled for server time is only a beta feature. When its finished and their is a world map, battle times will be map time.
So if you are in Florida, and fighting in Cali, the battle time will be 8-10 Cali time. So you can adjust the time of your battles, by adjusting where you attack and what land you own.

Tanitha: 1. garrisons i think are tokens, so not linked to a particular player or tank.
2. The land will be able to be developed eventually, with things like building factories to produce ammo, tank parts, etc. Buildings that do other things sounds like something that would be fun to have in there towards the end of clan beta.

Overlord: Why poor? New engine should help a bit.

Overlord: They will be added in the next major update, the one after this "transition" patch.

Tanitha: The FAQ states your machine is not big enough to run it.
http://game.worldoftanks.com/faq
Minimum system requirements:
CPU: 2 GHz
RAM: 1 GB
Video: GeForce 6600GT (128 MB) / ATI analog
HDD: 2GB
Connection rate: 128 Kbps
1gig is about 1000 meg, above what your system has.
But mainly your computer doesn't have any graphics card, and id guess back then a onboard graphics 5 years ago, would be way below a gforce.

Overlord: Hint: A-32 is going to be one of the tanks available for pre-order.

Overlord: SU-14 was a bit better than S-51 according to the statistics.

Overlord: Approx by 15-20%, the defference should be noticeable.

Overlord: Fixed.

Overlord: Switching to a new topic.
Locked.

Overlord: Discussing the upcoming patch.

MrVic: Will be done this evening putting together last parts of it today

Tanitha: Did you swap servers? what server was you on, and what server are you on now?

Tanitha: There is..
Game Closed beta, Game open beta. Game release. Clan wars beta, Clan wars release.
They are independent of each other. Clan wars beta should start after Game release.
Wipe of the clan wars map, doesn't mean any other wipes of tanks or accounts.. As for the link, its the OP of this thread.
Why the recruiting thread? And then only picking 50 of 150 clans? I don't know, it could be many reasons. Here's some educated guesses.
Clan-wars was initially scheduled for beta, it was delayed to release. Maybe this effected things.
Maybe they weren't expecting 150 clans to sign up.
The server split happened in the middle (17th) and the selection/banning didn't happen as expected, which is why it was done again on the 27th. Maybe this effected things.
There probably was a lot of unknown, very small clans, 1 player clans, Clans that didn't apply properly with the info they asked for, etc.
Why only 50? probably 50 is all they want to enter manually. Entering 150 manually is a bigger job.
Or a combination of the above or something different.
Things (Dates, times, schedules, etc) change all the time in betas.

ARGO: A "vote/kick" system? Think about that for a second. Your going to try to drum up a vote in the middle of a battle with the same bunch of guys who even if you have a good battle plan still all run like lemmings to their deaths on one side of the map. Good luck with that. Don't take me wrong but in a perfect world thats a fine idea on paper but in practice It would not be feasable because no ones going to wanna give up that kill or cap to stop and vote.

Vallter: There is a real possibility that you are suffer a connection issue. We need some more information. Will you be so kind and grant in to us?
1. Please install the following program on your computer: http://www.pingplott.../pngplt_std.exe
2. Close all the applications, including torrents, DC-clients, Skype, ICQ, Browser (IE, Mozilla Firefox, Opera), Mail client and etc.
3. Launch the program, and maximize the dialog window.
4. Type login-master.worldoftanks.eu in the field "Address to Trace" (upper left corner). (http://wiki.worldoft...target=pp-1.png)
5. Set 1 second in the field "Trace Interval".
6. Press the "Trace" button (lower left corner) or the "Enter" button. (http://wiki.worldoft...target=pp-2.png)
7. Now click the right mouse on each figure one by one in the upper window (green or yellow background) and select "Show this Timeline Graph" (If there is no tick apposite it - v !). (http://wiki.worldoft...target=pp-3.png)
8. As the result, there is a black band under each figure in the column and the number of diagrams should be equal to the highest number in the column. (http://wiki.worldoft...target=pp-4.png)
9. To set up the time scale on the diagrams (in the lower part of the window) it's required to click the right mouse and in the opened menu select the time scale you need. (http://wiki.worldoft...target=pp-5.png)
10. Save the results in the png-file. (In File, "Save as").

merig00: you can ask the guys over here: http://forum.worldof...u-ua-community/
They all played from Russia on the US server.
Please, use English on this forum.

Vallter: Please tell us whether you still have this issue?

Vallter: We will check this case and post our answer.

Vallter: All players who still have this issue please contact our Support Center
http://support.worldoftanks.com/
In this way we'll solve your problems faster. Also we need some private information from you that can not be posted on the game forum.

Vallter: To play on the US server download the US game client
If you wish the European server - the European game client.
Install them to different folder from one were the game client is installed right now. Then just enter the game.

Vallter: Please download the specific game client and install it to the other folder. Then choose the server (EU this time).

Tanitha: This question is answered here in this announcement.
http://forum.worldof...opers-sections/
You didn't read that, did you?
And that's why there is extra restrictions on the developers section (which they read), So the devs dont have to waste 12 hours a day reading questions from players that have already been answered, and instead can get on with finishing the game.
If after reading the forums, there is a question you have that hasn't already been answered, then there is a section for you to ask the devs directly.

merig00: I don't know the actual IP but you can derive it from this: login-master.worldoftanks.eu

merig00: Due to the engine limitations the game doesn't support x64 so it simply doesn't "see" all the extra memory you have.
Though it is strange that you get the red texture right after the first round. Usually it takes a good hour of gameplay to get that warning.
I would recommend to lower your settings so that the memory fill up slowly, that way you don't need to restart your client as often.
Also
-Reduce Object LOD (http://forum.worldof...preferencesxml/)
-Disable Post Processing, Advanced Post Processing, Edge detect AA
And this might help: http://forum.worldof...post__p__326552
Check your temperature - if your card is running at high temp it might be a contributing factor.

merig00: The server database was copied once and for all on the day of the split and can not be constantly synced between the two servers. I would recommend to make your decision as soon as possible because the inactive account will be banned very soon.

MrVic: I get that issue at times, so used to quick panning off forget its even there now days. Think that is probably server side. Not 100% sure tho.

MrVic: http://forum.worldof...post__p__383612
Pinned and Ready for reading

Tanitha: They are all very good points.
But take the 15v15 random games, IE the game as it is now before clanwars. There is no real need for premium, or high tier tanks. The only thing that happens when you level up more, is you earn less exp and credits, with about T5 usually being the most profitable tier. If you level up to a T8 tanks, its not much different, because you are then matched into harder games which are balanced still, with another T8 put against you and there's T9-10 above you. So no matter what tank you are in, the games are balanced and the only difference being the bigger your tank the less you make on it. No real incentive at all to pay premium and goto a T10. Just as much fun and just as useful to not pay a cent, and stay around T5's.
The desire of getting bigger tanks for clanwars, is one of the main things that will encourage people to pay money into the game I think.
A bigger tank in clanwars will make a difference, a bigger tank in the 15v15 games doesn't make much difference.
That's the way it is for me anyway, If wot had no clan wars, id not pay, play casually and play for free. When its released with clanwars, I'll pay premium for a month, sink in a reasonable amount into gold (maybe $40 worth), To get ahead and get into a T9 medium or T10 quickly within that month. And then id probably never transfer gold to credits again, and probably wont need to buy premium again.
And don't forget for casual players who want to get into clan-wars quickly without the grind, there is always the T8 heavy premium lowe.

Tanitha:
