18.8.2014

A public service announcement. A former player of one of the biggest clans on EU server (R1SE) and former deputy commander of the clan, dariuks1, looted 50k gold from the clan treasury and clanquitted. Please be wary not to recruit a thief in your clan.

Strangely enough, an old player from the CSA-3 clan, Fandajedoma, did exactly the same thing (70k gold) recently, so be careful about that guy as well. I was saving it for the Hall of Shame, but hell, it’s better you know now.

- apparently, the stop/brake lights on some tanks will not be made functional
- it’s possible that the US LT8 will merge into some existing line (SS: T54 medium tank specifically)
- Q: “Why does a tractor explode when you run over it and a car does not” A: “Just imagine the tractor has full fuel tank and cars dont”
- why is the flag post on base not material and can’t be torn down? “It just happened in the game’s past that way. To bring down the flag is not nice.”
- Q: “Would u guys consider rebuffing tank destroyer damage output like the old days with 850 damage per shot?” A: “Tanks balancing is done by specific Dev section, where i only get a list shortly before public testing. There us some tank re-balancing due for 9.3 as there is most updates, so that should be available about a week before the PT.”

  1. I guess WG should have terms of service that prevent a single person taking more than a certain % of a clan’s funds, it should need at least two people to take out such large amounts.

    • yea, he is from Lithuania and he was one of the 3 oldest members in R1SE, so thats why he was deputy

    • Dariuks is kind of morphed name of Darius. Common Lithuanian name.
      I’m sorry that my fellow Lithuanian stole from clan.

      N.B. do records remain after name change?

  2. well trutolife27 from NA stole 250k gold from TESLA treasury 6 months ago which resulted in pretty much disbandment of the clan

    • Didn’t the same thing happen to ZDOS in NA recently? Is clan theft a popular thing these days or something?

  3. - Q: “Would u guys consider rebuffing tank destroyer damage output like the old days with 850 damage per shot?

    Frankly put, go fuck yourself for even asking this shit. If anything, high calibers need even more damage per shot nerfing.

    • Yes, but if someone has him on friendlist in client , he can rename himself 100 times, he would still be “spotted” with different name and thus revealed. He renames again – spotter posts his changed name again and so on and on.

  5. “Tanks balancing is done by specific Dev section,”

    A dev section that doesn’t play the game, apparently. Because the massive nerfs in 9.3 are full-retard.

    • The Hellcat nerf is a direct reaction on the KV-1S split. Which is bloody time. Without the KV sport in its current form there is no need for the Hellcat to be this powerfull. It is the KV-1S hunter.
      The T57 was also in need to be rebalanced. They also nerfed only stats usefull to good players as bad player allready suck in this tank. Same with the Hellcat.
      The KV-1S got the full hammer though, for obvious reasons. Every potato can own in it.

      • The KV-85 is still getting the 122mm so we’re still going to have a Russian tier 6 tank with 390 alpha and 175 pen. That’s not changing. The stats might be a little worse but the core problem is still there. 390 alpha on a mobile tier 6 tank.

        And from what I understand it’s also getting a high-DPM 100mm option, too…Which is even more ridiculous.

        All Hellcat needed was a reduction in it’s camo and a reduction in it’s sight range and it would’ve been fine. It did not need to be gutted and left to bleed to death. And that’s exactly what 9.3 will do to it.

        • The KV85 is all but mobile, with uterly shit depression, and accuracy. And if you have the 100mm no 122mm right? There are plenty of tanks wich do DPM in tier 6 too…

          Don’t focus on the 390 alpha, others paramaters made this alpha unplayable by the past. Now those paramaters are rebalanced and trust me if you see more than half the amount of kv1s as kv85 after few days of playing, it would be really unexpected…

        • “The core problem is still there” are you saying SU-100 with the exact gun except better is a problem too? Ofc not, nobody in their right mind would say Su-100 is OP just because it has a good gun.
          Get real please. The problem with the KV-1S isn’t the 175mm 390 alpha gun, it’s that AND the mobility AND the decent gun depression AND the KV’s armor which can be troll with that near horizontal middle plate.
          Nerf either of those points enough and the tank is balanced. Sure it will still have very high alpha for that tier.. so what? Doesn’t KV-2 have high alpha for that tier too? Don’t you know how to deal with a KV-2 despite this fact?
          Hell, even the Death star isn’t imbalanced despite that crazy alpha.

          • @perkele I agree on everything in your post but the last sentence. The Death Star IS imbalanced even with the nerf simply because it has a cannon with decent penetration (wich the KV-2 doesn’t have) and is able to one-shot tier 9 tanks. Even the jgpz E-100 can’t do that! There is a point where the cannon alone can make the tank OP, and the FV 215b 183 is the perfect example. This tank needs to be removed : 183mm is a ridiculous caliber for a tank, it’s higher than two tier 10 arties!

        • The new Tier 6 KV is not mobile anymore. Lost lots of HP and tracks stats. Reload almost KV-2 level, no gun depression (from 8 to 3!), gun handling went down the drain. The 100mil has barely more DPM then the 122 mil and that got non left after the RoF nerf.

          These tanks are some of the most unbalanced once in the game. Simple as that. If they over nerfed them they’ll buff them again. It is a constant process and won’t reach a final state. Balancing also depends on the meta game and the statistics of a single vehicle might change without ever being touched.

          I would hold my horses on the hole “OMG THEY NERFED MY FAV TANK!!!1121!” bull shit. If they stop buffing and nerfing tanks the game is dead.

          Bought a FV183 right before the nerf, enjoyed it while it lasted and still one shoting tanks. Not as frequently as before but it happens. And it is fine and I have fun. KV-1S is a normal tank after nerf? Fine, go play T-150. Hellcat undrivable? Get a Nashorn or whatever. There will be other powerful tanks and then they will be nerfed.

  6. Silent stalker I’m not sure if you cover the na server that much, but did they move the servers or something because it went from being called na server east/west to us east/west and there is alot of server problems recently.

  7. I dont see a reason why would an old clan member do this, they are.probably not kids, what can be their motives other than being a stealing mean bitch?
    Maybe some other people had access to their accounts, or they had an argument, and decided to fk up an entire clan..?
    50k gold is nice, but still, I couldnt get myself to look into a mirror after doing something like that.

    • I really dont understand why he did that. He was a excellent field comander. Also i know him
      since i am in the EXNOM/R1SE, which is now more then a year. It looks like I need to ask our comander what really happend.

      • I was wondering the same. Nothing happened. There was no conflict or anything like that. He just disappeared for 3 or 4 weeks, and then – poof! He was even online yesterday, I wrote him in a private chat, no answer. So while it is possible his account was stolen or something, it is most likely that it is still him, because he told kyra a month ago that he wanted to buy JT8.8. Well, he bought it yesterday and played one battle in it. Did 2.5k damage in that battle, so it was not a noob playing.

  8. Burn those looters!

    Why are they making such a big fuss about those amounts of gold tho? o_O)
    It’s gained fairly quick and can be recovered in little time on CW. Geez.

  9. Q: “Why does a tractor explode when you run over it and a car does not” A: “Just imagine the tractor has full fuel tank and cars dont”

    I remember back in the day, before physics, when you would run over a motorbike and sidecar and the resultant debris would throw up a steering wheel. I could never figure out where the steering wheel came from…

    • No idea. Some clan leaders feel it is their gold to begin with, to be handed out at their discretion, if at all. Since most clan leaders pay out of their own pockets for TS and stuff like that, it is not as unfair as it may sound.

  10. All right, I understand and support a need of public announcement of such cases of thievery. Yet, I think that spamming his noobmeter profile with apprioprate comments would be better than public announcments on FTR.

  11. Since there is automated 5secs suspension for adding/removing too many players from your friends list or even for opening too many chat windows, it’s no brainer that they should add similar system for clan treasury: like 3k per player per 24h. If someone needs more, thay can wait or pre-plan. If someone still manages to loot amounts listed – your clan wasn’t managed good enough anyway…

    BTW, on clan support by WG – i wanted to post it on forums, but i think it needs more shoutout here, SS. Once you create new clan (and pay!), you should automatically get private clan subforum on forums – with automated permissions for clan ranks. I recently started helping a friend in managing a clan and getting contact with everyone and make them listening is single major problem. You can say that “everyone” uses facebook, or email, or phone (or you name it) but in fact they aren’t the same everyone – and what really every player has instant access to without any effort is WG forums, because they are already registered. There are plenty of free forum hostings and creating clan forum on one is not a problem, but making every clan member use it and check regularly would be – much more than WG forum. And, since you pay to create a clan, WG should give you more, especially that this would greatly help managing clans and they can bear additional server cost (and others provide this service for free!).

    Well, that’s enough gold to change the name, I guess.

    • Just like the diesel tanks in USSR tanks are IRL placed on the side as a last resort to absorb shots (as diesel can’t asplode or ignite easily) when in WoT it’s just an easy matchbox igniter.

  13. If Wargaming doesn’t do anything about it, it is part of the game. Clan gold is made from ingame activity and if your clan does not want to distribute some part of a huge gold deposit shame on them!! Shitty people rarely do shitty things in a agame like this unless you make them so…

    • So? It is his blog. Of course he is going to use it when HIS clan gets the shitty end of the stick. Seriously, sometimes I wonder why people manage to find fault with perfectly normal things.
