Felipe6666Original: ¡Buenas a todos! En estos momentos, estamos probando dos versiones del mapa Frontera del Imperio: Opción 1 Imágenes  Esta versión es un estadío más avanzado del desarrollo más exitoso del mapa hasta ahora (map 59_asia_great_wall_3 de la versión anterior del Supertest):  Modificamos la parte inferior izquierda del mapa. Añadimos un pasaje alternativo para tanques pesados (además del pasaje situado cerca de la pared).  Mejoramos el camino para los tanques medianos. También añadimos más cobertura y posiciones.  Opción 2 Imágenes  Esta se trata de una modificación casi total del mapa. Aquí modificamos los pasajes principales del mapa. Los desarrolladores se centraron principlamente en la creación de caminos interconectados y la organización de interacciones entre tipos de vehículos distintos. Un camino modificado para los tanques pesados. Ahora es más consistente en comparación con la versión anterior. Los vehículos de esta zona están completamente resguardados del fuego de las AAP. Esta zona ofrece una experiencia de juego diversa.  Un área con caminos diferentes para tanques ligeros, medianos y pesados. Estos vehículos pueden cooperar para capturar el centro del mapa y flanquear a los enemigos.  Un camino para tanques ligeros y medianos. Los vehículos de esta zona tienen múltiples posibilidades para maniobrar. Esta zona ofrece cobertura para que los vehículos pueden ocultarse y protegerse del fuego de las AAP. Tras su modificación completa, este camino cuenta con más dinamismo.  Como siempre, recuerden que todos los cambios no son definitivos y que a los resultados de las pruebas. ¡Dejen sus opiniones y recuerden que participar del debate les da una chance de ganarse un estilo especial (más información aquí)! ¡Mucha suerte en el campo de batalla!

Felipe6666Original: ¡Buenas! Para quienes clasificaron a las ligas de bronce, plata u oro en la primera temporada de las Batallas Clasificatorias 2020-2021, las recompensas (estilos, insignias y fichas extras) serán entregadas mañana  ¡Saludos! P.D.: Disculpen la demora, los problemas en Minsk hicieron que el proceso sea mucho más complejo por no poder comunicarme fluidamente con mis colegas

MA77: Saudações, comandantes. Atualmente no Superteste há duas versões do mapa Fronteira do Império para testarmos: Opção 1
Esta opção reflete no desenvolvimento de maior sucesso do mapa 59_asia_great_wall_3, do qual comentamos no teste anterior:  A área inferior esquerda do mapa foi retrabalhada. Uma passagem alternativa para tanques pesados ​​foi adicionada (além da passagem perto da muralha). A linha para tanques médios foi melhorada. Novas coberturas, “locais de disparo” e posições foram adicionadas.  Mais Imagens 
Opção 2
Esta opção é praticamente um retrabalho total do mapa, onde todas as principais passagens no mapa foram reformuladas. Os desenvolvedores se concentraram principalmente na criação de linhas interconectadas e na organização da interação entre diferentes tipos de veículos.   Zona 1: uma linha reformulada para tanques pesados. Agora é mais consistente em comparação com a versão anterior. Os veículos aqui são totalmente protegidos contra o fogo das AAPs . A zona apresenta jogabilidade variável. Zona 2 - área que inclui corredores para tanques pesados, médios e leves. Esses veículos podem cooperar aqui para capturar o centro do mapa e ter a possibilidade de flanquear os inimigos. Zona 3 - é uma linha para tanques médios e leves. Os veículos aqui têm muitas possibilidades para realizar manobras táticas. A zona tem coberturas, onde os veículos podem se esconder do fogo das AAPs. Esta linha foi completamente reformulada e agora apresenta uma jogabilidade dinâmica. Mais Imagens Qual das duas opções você gostaria de ver em nossos servidores ativos, comandantes? Boa sorte no campo de batalha!

DomoSapien:
interesting. Yes, please let me know! Feel free to PM me - it also couldn't hurt to submit a ticket to CS in case there's some kind of bug but I know going through web troubleshooting can be a bit of a hassle. Up to you of course, but we certainly appreciate any assistance our players can provide us in reporting potential issues and gathering information.

Felipe6666Original: Sí, ya tenemos definidos los próximos vehículos, pero no los vamos a comunicar hasta que sea el momento  Yo creo que la idea de no permitir que los vehículos de nivel bajo puedan sumar puntos es no dar razones adicionales a los veteranos para que farmeen nuevos jugadores, y no creo que haya planes de cambiarlo  ¡Saludos!

DomoSapien: Thank YOU for your support! 

We wouldn't have made it this far (and I wouldn't have this awesome job) without our players. 

DomoSapien: So, there are only two versions - but I think what might be causing the confusion:

On the premium shop under World of Tanks there are several categories. When you open the web shop via the in-game "Premium Store" link - it takes you directly to the 'featured' tab on the Premium Shop.

To see ALL available vehicles for purchase, you can click the 'vehicles' tab at the top of the premium shop. 

Besides that, sometimes certain bundles are region-locked and don't show up unless you have the correct country of residence selected in the premium shop:



finally, as several have mentioned: certain special items won't show up unless you're logged in, maybe there's some weird cache issue going on so it couldn't hurt to log out and log back in to the website.

DomoSapien: Hey! Sorry to hear about the misunderstanding. The last discord message I received from you was almost 2 years ago, and if I'm being honest - I think me not getting back to you was a combination of being overwhelmed with a mountain of CC onboarding (since it was during a wave of CC invites, which always gets quite busy/stressful) and the fact that you seemed quite frustrated in the context of that message and I figured you needed some time to cool off.

I sent you an email with the most recent wave - sorry about the mixup, looks like you've got 3 accounts? I legitimately figured there were some hard feelings over not being invited sooner and that you weren't interested in joining the program. As for tragic giggling in the clip - I guess she was under the same impression that I was - namely that you don't want to work with us.

I would be lying if I said I don't have any concerns as a result of this situation, but please send me a PM, let's talk about it. Making you lose sleep and stress out isn't something that I feel particularly awesome about.

DomoSapien: There were some internet issues around the Chicago area last weekend that were impacting some players' connections - but as far as I know those issues resolved themselves.

If the new modem doesn't do the trick, I recommend submitting a ticket to our customer support team. They can help you with some connection diagnostics and troubleshooting to figure out where the connection issue is occurring and hopefully help resolve the issue.

 

KRZYBooP: All tanks on sale past the 11th have the discount already applied .

KRZYBooP:  It's currency specific to the Battle Pass, it's not another bond, credit or gold currency.  This is how all of WG's games are coded so events like these can be tracked in the backend. 

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys, Battle Pass Season 3 has been added to the Supertest. Within this Supertest, we would like to test the following changes to Battle Pass Season 3:The mechanism of receiving Bounty Equipment and standard equipment has been changed: at certain Stages, a player will receive a Token (Tokens are different for receiving Bounty Equipment and standard equipment) that can be exchanged for any equipment from the special list. One Token can be exchanged for one equipment item. Thus, during Battle Pass, players will be able to receive the desired equipment. Displaying valuable rewards on the congratulation screens has been reworked.Please note that the Supertest is intended for testing the technical implementation of new mechanics. The current event configurations are not final.

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys,  From now (12Aug) until 24Aug the Skoda will be available for purchase.  Bundles start for this at 39.99. More information on the sale can be found HERE.

Felipe6666Original: ¡Buenas a todos! Agregamos la temporada 3 de Pase de batalla al Supertest para probar los siguientes cambios al sistema:  Cambiamos el mecanismo para recibir equipamiento de recompensa y estándar. Ahora, los jugadores recibirán fichas en determinadas etapas que luego pueden intercambiar por cualquier equipamiento de una lista especial (cabe aclarar que las fichas para recibir equipamiento de recompensa o estándar son diferentes). Una ficha equivale a un equipamiento. Esto implica que los jugadores podrán recibir el equipamiento que quieran en Pase de batalla. Modificamos la manera en la que figuran las recompensas más importantes en las ventanas de información al recibirlas.
Como siempre, recuerden que el Supertest está pensado solamente para la evaluación de nuevas mecánicas. La configuración descripta no representa la versión definitiva del evento.¡Dejen sus opiniones y recuerden que participar del debate les da una chance de ganarse un estilo especial (más información aquí)! ¡Mucha suerte en el campo de batalla!

MA77: Saudações, comandantes. A Temporada 3 do Passe de Batalha 3 foi adicionada ao Supertest.
Nele, queremos testar as seguintes alterações para a próxima temporada: A mecânica para receber os Equipamentos de Recompensa e equipamento padrão foi alterada: em certas fases, um jogador receberá um Token (os Tokens são diferentes para receber Equipamento de Recompensa e equipamento padrão) que pode ser trocado por qualquer equipamento de uma lista especial. Um token pode ser trocado por um item de equipamento. Assim, durante o Passe de Batalha, os jogadores poderão receber o equipamento desejado.  A exibição de recompensas valiosas nas telas de felicitações foi reformulada.
Observe que o Superteste se destina a testar a implementação técnica de novas mecânicas. As configurações atuais do evento não são finais.

DomoSapien: If you have an EU, RU, or APAC account you can log into it for a second day of premium!  wink wink


But seriously, thank YOU all for your support. The amount of messages and well wishes we've received as well as support for our colleagues in Minsk... we are extremely, extremely fortunate to have a community of players as passionate and caring as y'all. Even when you're roasting us on the forums, Reddit, and Discord - we know it comes from a place of love -  and we appreciate the [edited] out of you guys & gals <3

I hope I didn't miss anyone in my wall of block quotes but please know that the above applies to everyone.

Felipe6666Original: ¡Buenas a todos! Hay algo sobre lo que me gustaría hablarles a todos los que son parte de este foro (o lo frecuentan): el software y el hardware son reemplazables, no así las personas. Tenemos la fortuna de contar con un grupo maravilloso de personas talentosas en Minsk, Bielorrusia, y si bien es bastante sencillo decirnos qué es lo que deberíamos hacer en situaciones así (o condenarnos por lo que no hacemos), la integridad física de nuestro personal es nuestra primera prioridad. Las cosas no son tan sencillas como enviar por correo un disco duro con la actualización a otra parte del mundo o asignar personas diferentes para que se hagan cargo de lo que otros no pueden por las circunstancias. Hay toda una conjunción de talento, conocimientos y relaciones tanto profesionales como personales con nuestros amigos, compañeros y colegas de Minsk que es muy importante para nosotros.Todos tenemos nuestra críticas hacia los desarrolladores y cuanto responsable de categoría haya en Minsk (incluso yo las tengo), pero esto que está pasando ahora es una buena oportunidad para recordales que todos y cada uno de nosotros somos Wargaming (por mucho que me desagraden los eslogans corporativos). Este es un momento muy delicado, esto no es Halloween 2019, esto no es un buff/nerf retrasado o impopular, esto nos sobrepasa, escapa a nuestro control, esto no es comparable con nada de lo que haya pasado antes. Y si se preguntan por qué no pusimos todo esto en el artículo sobre la postergación del Acto V en sí, sepan que los anuncios tienden a ser lo más generales posibles porque no creemos justo introducir cuestiones partidarias o información que no compete a los jugadores o a nosotros en ellos (al final del día, lo único que hacemos y debemos hacer son juegos). Es por eso que la noticia fue bastante escueta en cuanto a lo que pasa en verdad (San Google puede ayudarlos a descubrir todos los detalles), pero me tomé el atrevimiento de dar un contexto algo más amplio para que entiendan lo distinto que es esto. ¡Buena suerte en el campo de batalla!

DomoSapien: Tankers,
I've seen several questions popping up about this so I'm happy to finally share the info:

Starting tomorrow, August 12th at 03:00 PT || 05:00 CT || 06:00 ETC - Receive 1 day of Premium Account Time for each day you log in, until August 22nd, 04:00 PT || 06:00 CT || 07:00 ET If you're more of a visual-memory kind of tanker, we've a handy little chart: check out the article.

Just a small way to show our appreciation for 10 years of support from our amazing community of players all across the world. From all our teams to all our players: 'Tank' You!  <3

DomoSapien:    would if I could!

That's weird, I haven't seen that forum error before, but much like our game our forums are quite dated so I'd chalk it up to one of those quirks unless the issue persists. 

DomoSapien:

To be honest, I genuinely lack the knowledge to objectively answer most of those questions. I do know that, especially with a 10-year-old game, there are bits and pieces linked together which you wouldn't necessarily anticipate. The classic example I like to bring up is the contact list - remember in like 2016, 2017 when the contact list broke for like 3 months? That was because we updated the Mission UI.

What I'm getting at is that I don't know how drastic the changes were or how much of everything else is 'baked in' to the new system. It's possible that a rollback would be easy, but it's possible it might not be easy.

Additionally, there has been positive feedback about certain aspects and we're still pretty confident that with enough TLC, the new system will be a step in the right direction. As for the reasoning - it's feedback we've been receiving for years - the old system was fine because we had all grown accustomed to using it - but that doesn't mean there weren't aspects of it that could have been improved. (Whether or not y'all feel that it was actually an improvement is a different story, that's up to you to decide)

Scrapping a project that took x amount of dev time which translates into y amount of developer salaries etc. would be a pretty drastic decision; not ruling it out, but naturally, efforts to improve/fix it before doing so would take place before a decision like that one.
 

KRZYBooP:  That's big nope.

DomoSapien: I touched on this in another thread - but we hope to deliver a fix that will allow players to send the basic affirmative/negative commands, as well as remove or drastically reduce the ping spam protection limit for competitive battles - in order to allow battle callers to effectively communicate with their teams. 

Apparently it's a bit more complex than initially anticipated so some exploration needs to be done into what's possible within the limitations of the new system, but it is a priority.

DomoSapien:

I've got plenty of Premium Time and Gold, I would be much happier with getting compensation out to our amazing community of players instead <3

DomoSapien: We are indeed hoping to deliver a fix for the ping spam limit in competitive battles.

More discussions about that were supposed to take place this week - but with the evolving situation with internet connectivity in Minsk, that discussion has unfortunately been a bit delayed.

As soon as we establish some solid communication channels and verify the well-being of all our staff - we will be working on a gameplan to deliver Anniversary Act V and hopefully implement player feedback for battle comms.

DomoSapien:

DomoSapien:
Hoping to have more info and a quick resolution for y'all ASAP! But the situation is evolving every day, so please stay tuned. 

DomoSapien:

DomoSapien: Folks, as a reminder: please keep discussions civil and politics-free.

Something I would like to personally ask you all to consider: Software and Hardware are replaceable. People are not. We have an amazing team of talented individuals working in Minsk, and while it's easy to say 'you guys should do x' or 'you guys should do y' - the safety and well-being of our team is an utmost priority. It's not quite as simple as shuffling some stuff around and assigning different staff to the product - or shipping a hard drive with the latest build to a different location where we can upload it to the live servers. 

There is a pool of talent, knowledge, professional and personal relationships with our colleagues in Minsk, and all of that is extremely important to us. Something you see pretty often on our forums and in our community is this 'us vs. them' mentality when talking about WGA Publishing vs. the Dev Team in Minsk; this is a good opportunity to remind ourselves that there no 'us' and 'them' - we are all part of the same organization, and as much as I hate corporate slogans, we used to throw around #OneTeam internally pretty often - and there is certainly quite a bit of truth to it.

Our colleagues in Minsk are not just our colleagues. They are our friends and family. Firing them all and reassigning their jobs to other people due to circumstances outside of their control would be completely unacceptable. 

KRZYBooP:
please DM me the ticket number.

Felipe6666Original: ¡Buenas! Para para republicar lo que puse en Discord:  Como quizás ya hayan leído, nuestro centro de desarrollo principal de Minsk (Bielorrusia) está atravesando momentos difíciles que escapan a nuestro control, y, además de generar una situación poco placentera para todos, nos obliga a demorar todo los que teníamos planeado para el Acto V. Tomamos esta determinación dado que no contamos con un servicio de internet fluido, lo que nos impide ejecutar nuestras actividades diarias como quisiéramos. Esperamos que esto sea momentáneo y que pronto podamos volver a lo nuestro. Gracias a todos por su comprensión. ¡Saludos!

KRZYBooP:
Yes it does. No internet means no changes to anything run by WG.

TeriyakiTanker: So why did you even respond to a thread that is months old?

TeriyakiTanker: They cancelled it.

Einzelganger7:      

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! Due to technical issues with internet in Minsk the 10th anniversary Act: V has been postponed. There is no ETA on this issue at this time, but please stay patient and understanding while this gets worked out.  The tank discounts that were scheduled for 12Aug are also being affected so please wait. There are no details about extending the event or compensation at this time.  Thank you everyone for being understanding during this time.  More information on this can be found HERE. Also, I know that everyone knows what is going on in the world that could be affecting WG. Please remember to be mindful of the rules about no politics talk in forums. 

Felipe6666Original: Muy interesante sería, pero el foro no cuenta actualmente con recursos de desarrollo (lo que es evidente, dado que es el mismo desde hace años), así que no lo veo como algo posible en el futuro  ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original: Sí, sería genial poder contar con algo así. De hecho, pedí algo similar hace un tiempo, pero es algo que requiere desarollo, y no es prioritario  ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original: Sí, aquí los tengo (estaba bajo la impresión que se habían comunicado): Nación:
 Root_42 WarMut WolverinesGoBlue MobeDos  
As:
 canimal Vital1990 Scire57 N_o_c_r_y  Los premios para las demás posiciones ya deberían haber sido entregados. ¡Saludos!

KRZYBooP: Don't ever stop rocking y'all

KRZYBooP:  That escalated quickly.  

KRZYBooP:  Check out this spoiler of CMD_AF going through a battle with all the commands . Hopefully, this helps explain it better.
