2.1.2015

Russian Christmas time, so the answer pool is pretty limited.

- Q: “Why don’t you add tanks that are not normall available for purchase like Type 59 to the test server?” A: “These tanks are not required to test. Test is not opened for you to have fun, but for serious work – testing.”
- Chinese server is kept separate from other servers, condition that apply there are unique (SS: and as such, some features from there won’t come to EU/US/RU and there’s no point in asking for them)
- confirmed: Naydin medal is bugged (SS: some players that should have gotten it did not), developers are working on a fix now

  1. I didn’t get a Naydin even though I should. Will WG apply it retroactively? probably not. Fortunately I already have several of them so this is not a big deal, but, still…

      • “I do not know why.”

        I don’t know the structure of their database, but it’s likely they don’t have it optimized to work retroactively. Meaning they’d have to:

        Look for all the battles with such criteria (if they are even saved). This alone is not a simple task if some info is missing (and it’s likely it is and they can’t do something like WHERE allLightTanksDestroyed BY player00-29)
        Look over to linked players that should have gotten the medal.
        Add the medal (still in the DB) to the players, and if some checks are done, to the battles as well.

        Probably somewhere between half a day to days for a single person, which is simply not worth it.

    Sound like typical WG.

    • Who gives a damn about stupid medals? I mean you get your XP and Credit, what can you do with them medals?

      • Its not about it – its about WG doing nothing or doing something with something, braking it, then doing nothing.

  3. ” Test is not opened for you to have fun, but for serious work – testing”

    Sure, we are not speaking of a game.They become big headed at WG. The fall will be hard for them.

    • lol wg doesn’t realize there is no testing being done on test server when 80% players are noobs(0-2k battles at most)

      • I sometimes play with a friend who never plays wot, on the testserver haha he has 30 wn8 on the live server

  4. “Why don’t you add tanks that are not normall available for purchase like Type 59 to the test server?” A: “These tanks are not required to test. Test is not opened for you to have fun, but for serious work – testing.”

    Is that why everyone uses premium ammo on test server, for “serious work” ? Gee, and here I though it was to troll people and have a laugh, especially with the derp guns.

  5. Perhaps I’d like to see the effectiveness of a new tank against the Type 59?

    Also it would be the best way to disillusion players about it being some kind of instant win tank.

  6. - Q: “Why don’t you add tanks that are not normall available for purchase like Type 59 to the test server?” A: “These tanks are not required to test. Test is not opened for you to have fun, but for serious work – testing.”

    Yea, right. Guess they have never played on CT server before. From what I saw there are like 10% of players to test new stuff and 90% just to play with tanks they are going to get or they will never get on regular server.

  7. If Wargaming don’t put all premium tanks available for all players on test server, why not implement a system to “rent” premium tanks like KV-5, Type 62, KV-220, etc, (tanks available on premium shop bundles), to be played on training mode. War Thunder have already a system for that, and is a big + for players.

    • Hell, why not a proper test-drive on the live server, where you pay for repairs but make no money or xp, with a 50% crew? It would be nice to drive a type or kv-5 to see if one of the missions is worth going for the big reward.

  9. Why makes Wargaming not a special room where you can test every verhicle, like in WarThunder. That would be handy.
