MrVic: There are many questions that we answer daily and many more
questions people ask that have asked or wondered.
We hope that the following covers most of the day to day ones
Also for reference http://forum.worldof...ch-coming-soon/
Also for reference http://forum.worldof...-from-the-devs/
This information is subject to change and is as accurate as we know or can assume. (We are not Devs/Admins) Things change fast in a Beta so the rate and amount of things we see patched or added will vary at times We are not Devs/Admins but hopefully
this will cover most peoples concerns.
Current Events
1) Tiered Battles, There is a new system coming in the next patch that reassess battles make ups and pairs tanks up more evenly and also keeps tanks of like tiers together.
2) Groups joining matches. In the coming patch you will see the ability to create small groups and enter matches together. Groups are 2-3 players and one player in the group must have premium active.
3) Module Damage. (Engine hits, crew death ect) This is a known area of concern and is being adjusted in the coming patch
4) HE ammo. HE rounds are being adjusted in the coming patch.
5) Cover/Camo System. Vanishing tanks at weird ranges. This is a known issue and has been worked on and the solution is being worked on and is coming. Some of the cover and hiding mechanics do funny things at times.
6) US tanks. We should see the first round of them in game probably a short while after the next patch.
7) Will their be a Full wipe at release? Yes at retail release we should expect a full wipe.
8) Soft Wipe There should be a soft wipe coming but not sure exactly when due to the fast pace WoT is progressing. (Typically a soft wipe is a refund of all exp earned and converted to free exp. Sometimes there is a small reduction on the overall exp it varies on the goal for testing. Also typically your full value of all Tanks/Modules/Ammo are refunded to you to reinvest with the free exp. Crews are lost. Premium accounts running sometimes can be either persevered or lost. Gold carried over? not sure usually we are warned if we are to lose it or its converted to credits and given to use in that form. These are all subject to change based on the form the wipe takes. More details will be finalized prior to a soft wipe.)
9) Armor pen vs Armor. Changes to the HE ammo and Damage models should effect this in the next patch.
10) US Server, We should see a server in the US in the not to far future. So many of those worrying over pings this will help.
11) Warping tanks at range. Known issue and its part ping and part game engine issue that is known and being worked on.
12) Bots/AFKers, There is a large known list, They are not going unnoticed. A system is in the works that will assess and deal with these players rapidly. For now we deal with them and I suspect their being used as testing guinea pigs for the new systems. In other words, the more they logon, the more we get to know what they do, what methods they use, the better we can combat them during release.
13) Tanks of the Future! Plans are in place for many more tanks from many nations British, Japanese, French... and perhaps some more
14) New maps! We will see 2 maps in the next patch. Also WoT team plans to start pumping out new maps 1-2 new maps every 1-2 weeks after the patch!
15) Clanwars! More information is coming and the expected time to see it, We are not sure, (sorry best we got) All we have on the clanwars is HERE
16) Release date! Word is they are on shedule for an October (?) release. But this is NOT a hard date (Fall 2010, more accurate). In the end it will be released when its ready. We have lots of fun toys coming to play with before then. It comes when its comes but we got a good bit of testing to do first!
17) Smoke rounds ect. Currently they are not in the works at a later date we may see them. For now we have to fight with lead and sweat not smoke and mirrors
18) Tankopedia Its in the works but a guide providing information on the tanks in the game. (always good to find the weak spots in your enemies armor)
19) More game modes! More game modes are in the works details of what all they have planned are not out yet. Clanwars and Nation based we should see in addition to others
20) Infantry and other support weapons ect. Right now they are not going to be in game. Suggestions are being considered and for future release considered.
21) If you read this far then you deserve a break, Sit back and enjoy this in game tip: Tip99 (read it now..rumor is it's going to be "fixed" in the patch)
22) Tank Skins. Currently you can play with your tank skin but it only shows up to your game. In the future there will be more tank skins added that are global to all players and we think more options for them will be coming. Details soon we bet.
We plan to add more as we answer peoples questions in game and in threads. Or when we blackmail one of our spies
Enjoy the beta bigger badder and better is coming! Fear in the fashion of 9
