Developers posts on forum

Tanitha: ; ) Getting ahead is a big part imo, That takes some grinding.. But then when you are settled its just a matter of playing some clanwars game and relaxing and reaping the rewards from the work. Once you have a T10, or T8 arty etc,, there's no importance to grind a lot quickly any more.

Tanitha: No idea sorry. But I'll move your post to dev questions.

Tanitha: Correct, but 500k+ people, On servers capable of handling 60k players online at once on each server (180k online at once max) (next patch), all playing the same world domination map in clan wars (January for testing of separate servers, after that for the probable joining of servers.). Is massive and is a MMO.
WoT is a MMO under construction. Discussing whether its a mmo when its 1/2 done and the clan system inst yet installed, Is a bit pointless imo.
All mmorpgs are called mmorpg's before they even have any game code written, Because that's what it will be on release many many years later.

Tanitha: Because they used to be good and valuable. Now however, not so much.. So they need to be made made more viable.
Soon they are tweaking the matchmaking to increase the weight of heavies. And they have stated they need to conciser buff's for lights & mediums, to make them more viable.
It doesn't really need a 4 page discussion, it really just needs some patience. You know as well as I do that T44's aren't as good now that warping's fixed. The thread could have continued anyway.,.. But now its just full of insults and barely on topic. So it needs closing.

Tanitha: It was signed n1sk. Feel free to pm him.

Tanitha: Hi everything we know about crews is here.
http://forum.worldof.../8498-faq-crew/
Have a read through and post any questions you still have in there please.
I'll close this so there is not lots of threads on the same topics. + threads on crews dont belong in the heavy tank section.

Tanitha: Thankyou.
Please use that thread.
Closing..

Tanitha: Thread reported.
Closing.

Overlord: Are you planning to shoot it?
Would like to watch the video.

Overlord: For sure, in 2011, not this year. US TDs are 60% finished at the moment.

Overlord: That's the same actually. Just rewording:

+9% accuracy during movement and traverse = by 9% decreased influence of movement and traverse on accuracy

Overlord: 100% automated anti-TK system is in development at the moment. The current system only detects violators and afterwards the support service takes measures against them if needed.

New system will be totally impartial, no human factor.

So ISU-152 is underpowered?  

Now seriously, Pz 4 is able to penetrate 90/75/60mm armor with any of his guns. And if it was 10,5cm KwK42 L/28, no wonder it did much damage.

MrVic: Answers were provided in the thread and else where, also its not something their capable of doing at this time. Its well known and seen, but focusing on the future and the very active discussion on the patch, along with the rapid additions. Its not a case of being avoided, its delayed since clan wars testing was not ready and active championships along with more reasons that were listed. Your free to discuss that all you like, I chose to stay with what I know is in the works, sorry if you think that I avoided it.
I spent most of my credits messing around with modules ect, such is life. I also posted the time frame for the softwipe with 2 disclaimers and it was also posted with a disclaimer by the devs, Nothing is set in stone until were upon it. We'll get one in time and now I'm working on setting it up some I can test the few tanks i have not played yet when it comes

MrVic: You've stated this a few times, regardless its nothing something thats capable at this time, long term maybe. Its much like just like most games you can choose a sever and play, but unlike some games you can play on all the servers regardless of location. A number of companies even limit that ability, WoT will not. With a hard wipe at release (since we are testing) you'll probably have more troubles. Personally I have tested through 3 full wipes and exp'd my way back up each time. I have enjoyed it try new tanks see how things changed ect.
Sorry to hear that but sometimes thats how things go.

MrVic: Closing, This is being covered in the closed beta section here http://forum.worldof...potting-thread/
Discussion for beta issues ect needs to stay in the closed section
Thanks

MrVic: Well the one thing I can say on that is, Server upgrades should help spotting some, also have some help in the patch but not perfect. Devs want a better solution and are working on one still. Modules in internal testing so far seem to be working really nice. They seem to be lessened, its hard to see that from the notes but all of the notes combined it makes sense Also some revisions to balance coming too were heading in the right direction thats always a good thing.
Yeah I try to dig up a lot of that info but this week was rough for me and was unable to be as thorough as I wanted to be.

Tanitha: At the start.
Russian server. No EU server and NO USA server.. IE Russian infinitely ahead.
The couple of months prior to now..
Russian server a patch or two ahead.
Now.
Both are on the same version.
Id expect patches to come out at similar times now. Maybe a small delay for translation. But I'm not in the dev scene so i'm not sure exactly how they work that.

Tanitha: Nps mate, when i play the T2, most games are against T1-2 and there is no/little camping.
Sometimes my T2 is thrown into T3 matches which include arty and more TD's, So yeah camping there.

Tanitha: Moving to dev suggestions.

Tanitha: Decent..
I know they are thinking of ways to improve the tk system.
But I'll move this to dev suggestions..

Tanitha: 2.

Tanitha: To answer both in once...
IMO and AFAIK...... softwipes work like this.
Everything you have is replaced with EXP and Credits. So... you can buy what you have back...
So...
1. No. If you earned 1 million $$'s in real life and spend it all on booze and drunk it. Then you own nothing.
If you earned 1 million $$'s in real life and bought a house worth 1 million.. Then a softwipe would convert your assess to credits, so you can buy what you used to own back again.
Similar with wot..
If you earn 1 million credits, and spend 500k on ammo and repairs, and 500k on tanks, then when its wiped your assets are wiped and you are refunded their worth so you can buy them back again. IE you are refunded the 500k credits the tanks you own are worth , so you can buy them back again.
2. Pretty much, if after the softwipe you had 500k free exp, and then you played and earned 500k exp. That 1 mil exp was spend on unlocking tank upgrades.
When these 1 mil exp's worth of tank upgrades are wiped the exp for them is refunded. So technically yes. the exp you earned before the last softwipe is also refunded, because you spend that exp unlocking tanks on this account, so its refunded on this account. So yes you can tech back up to where you are now..
I think the only things lost on a softwipe are..
Gold spend and "used" on premium.
Gold and credits spent and "used" on crews.
Gold and credits spent and "used" on ammo and repairs.
The things that are gained on a softwipe are
Few extra exp and credits leftover, because when you tech back up, you dont have to unlock tracks and engine and modules you dont need to level up, you can just buy the ones you HAVE to to level up.
After a softwipe you are about what you are now, You usually end up a bit of exp and credits better off after you replace your tanks. But you lose the crews.
All in all not much difference. Consider it like a retech you get in other games.
+ Moving this to the closed beta section, its offtopic here.

Tanitha: Ive not seen or heard of it before. Will see if anyone else had had or will have the same problem.

Tanitha: Upgrading servers to handle 60k players each, is a good start. Less lag, the ability to increase server checks/updates that would otherwise overload the servers.
That will increase the capacity of the servers from about 10k, to 120k.
It will help a bit.

Tanitha: Yep I play a T2 often, there is very little camping, and very little arty.
T3+ games are a bit different though because there's usually arty's and more TD's in those games.
I wonder though, how many newbies are playing T1-2's : ) With so many vets playing those smaller tanks for a bit of fun.

Tanitha: Sounds buggy, can you do some screenshots and more info please?
I'll move this to tech too..

Tanitha: IF there was a softwipe, selling your tanks like you said you did, is the worst thing you can do anyway....
If you have 2 mil credits worth of tanks, they are replaced with 2 mil credits on a softwipe.
If you sell 2 mil credits worth of tanks you get 1 mil, and then buy 1 mil of tanks.
So on softwipe those 1 mil credits worth of tanks are replaced with 1 mil credits..
Anyway selling tanks before a softwipe 1/2's your cash..

MrVic: Volume #4 is done and up, enjoy! Link to Newsletter

MrVic: Got it fixed before ya finished your post muahaha
