6.1.2015

Posted on by

- Evilly confirms that the Winter mode had too much XP and crew XP gain unintentionally, it was fixed
- for players that are annoyed by the presence of “fun mode” tanks in their hangar, WG will make a filter so you don’t see them if you don’t want to

And from stream with Evilly, Inaki and other WG staff on RU server:

- Evilly invented the Russian names for winter mode tanks
- these names between RU and EU are different
- the winter mode is the first “fun” mode that can be played constantly (SS: as in, players having fun even after longer time)
- at first, devs wanted to add respawn to the winter battle mode, but decided not to do it
- there will be more such fun modes in the future, next one might appear on April 1st
- apparently, SerB wanted to make an April 1st trolling – artillery would heal allies instead of damaging them

    • you’re a point misser
      that’s right call: foch 155 is “Berserk”, t50-2 is Reyder and t110e5 is “Mamont”
      P.S. you measuring comments @ °P aka People

      • PLEASE i hope armored warfare really makes WG start doing something right.. 2014 was a huge waste of time in this game… they had a lackluster year and if its not changed … AW will smoke this game

        • You know, WoT Xbox is even better than WoT PC at this point.
          Weather? In it.
          Fake Havok? In it.
          Nice in-game UI? In it.

          Also AW with Cry(hehehe)Engine probably has so easier coding. Arty model bug’d? Fix in 36 hours :D

          • Armored (Armoured) Warfare just has to be better. I’ve been playing on the US server from South Africa praying for a server transfer etc and nothing ever happens (just server lag faulty networks)……. I’ve had great success with Obsidian in the past and I know that they can pull it off. Make WG suffer! :D……

            [P.S I'm finding War Thunder very enjoyable lately]

  3. - apparently, SerB wanted to make an April 1st trolling – artillery would heal allies instead of damaging them

    PLS PLS PLS in RANDOMS :DDD OMG imagine that Uniscum whine :D

    • That would be quite funny.
      Just follow your platoonmate in an E-100 and heal him every 30-40 seconds :D

      • That would be a fun time.

        I’m thinking a t110e3 backed up by 2 obj 261 penning him in the rear with ap for 2000 every 30 seconds.

        That would require some serious focus fire to bring down.

        • then you suddenly get banned for team damage…because WG would forget to adjust team damage detection system :D

      • Then WoT would become a true MMO w/ the “holy trinity”. We already have tank(pun intended) and DPS, and then we’d have healer. :D

    • Maybe they’ll ANNOUNCE that shooting allies will heal them, but when April 1st comes, nothing is different. Commence arty team kills :D

  6. one requirement.. that day doesnt count towards stats at all… that way i could break out the LTTB and just run down the middle and kill arty all day… nothing like killing sky pigs.. and then here them complain about an op light tank.. lel.. noobs in sky cancer.. typical

    • and this is why we have arty nerf. thanks, you whiny asshole. keep your “cancer” with you. we want nothing of that.

  7. the day they add healing tanks like the bergertiger to the game is the day i really stop playing… dont put it past WG to do something really really stupid..

  8. - apparently, SerB wanted to make an April 1st trolling – artillery would heal allies instead of damaging them

    DAT CARE PACKAGE THO!

  9. Can the Russian players keep the XP they gained by using this exploit, or is WG generous to these Russian players? I assume, they can keep the XP- since… well, you know (WG supports a two-class society: Russians and rest of the world).

  10. :-/ WoT is spinning unreality and kids fun, going to became WoW. (more money sure) Time for seriously abandoning the dangling warship. Hope I’m wrong but ..doubt. :-/

    • WoW as fun? It requires a lot of time to get some gear to get fun (or leveling as fun itself). Otherwise – NOOB, your GS is lower than my grandma’s, and she’s off-tank!

      Also about metaphor – as SS said, 2015 critical year for WG – do or start to rust :D

      • agree Woras for WG. Was wondering last year why are best players leaving …lots of them I knew.. now on this forums I realise the reason.. um Anyway, something new on the horizont heheh

        • What has WG to do to redeem themselves?
          EU tree and quick.
          Havok – well, for eyes.
          Motion physics – because how tanks twitch for certain degrees when turning just pokes me eyes out.
          Sounds – boomboomboom, vrrrrrrrr.
          PvE – “Omg, again blue loot….”.
          Stronkholds – well, maybe….do….resource gathering for random clan players vs random clan players.
          Tank customisation – for fucks sake, WG, thats where money lies…
          Fix arty?

          And some other bits.
          Oh wait – how many it is already in AW xD

  11. “apparently, SerB wanted to make an April 1st trolling – artillery would heal allies instead of damaging them”
    And add 10% RNG to actually damage them.

  13. “- apparently, SerB wanted to make an April 1st trolling – artillery would heal allies instead of damaging them”
    So when the fully re-healed light comes to kill my Wespe I have a teammate standing by to heal me again and again.
    Like a circle in a spiral…

  14. the winter mode is the first “fun” mode that can be played constantly (SS: as in, players having fun even after longer time)

    I played Karl a ton. If this is better than karl, ill be suprised

  15. Wait… they’re going to make a filter for a few whiners who for some strange reason are offended by having to look at a few fun tanks in their garage… but they still haven’t given us a fucking tier filter? What the fudge, WG?

    • Haha exactly my thoughts.

      “Oh you are annoyed by 3 tanks appeared in your garage for two weeks? Let us quickly implement a filter”

      LOL

  17. “- apparently, SerB wanted to make an April 1st trolling – artillery would heal allies instead of damaging them”

    Now my M7 Priest can heal my teammate finally!

    • It would make WoT an MMORPG rather than a MOG. The only problem is that people won’t roll a healer, they want to do dps…

      If you haven’t played on the SEA server (Ok it’s ASIA but full of SEAtards) they won’t need CC because most camp/afk or hide and run away when being shot at.

      • SEA player here o/ I think the bigger problem is that SEAtards are in general not that bad.

        that is, until they merged the Viet server.

        and then it became a whole new world of pain. and back then you think thais and pinoys are bad. guess what? 50% of viet players are guaranteed worse, they’re like poland for WoT EU (except they dont “siemka kto pl”. the dumb ones dont speak english)

  19. - apparently, SerB wanted to make an April 1st trolling – artillery would heal allies instead of damaging them

    Yes please :D

  21. RE: Winter mode
    Just to make it clear I don’t prefer to play 80s games… That era passed and I have more powerful computer then Commodore 64 now.

    WG is working on graphical engine all the time… but they use other strategy then rest of the market.

    I see they test hypothesis “do customers really need better graphics?”… let me see
    If customers will be happy to play games in “ATARI mode” why develop havoc?

    So develop “customer satisfaction testing mode” (e.g. KARL). If this mode will be successful, why compete with other shiny graphics games? Screw havoc (too much work to make nice graphics), introduce new graphics mode…fist make it as mode (to not scare customers with that shocking change) call it “summer mode”…… oh this new graphics is so complicated, we need more time… rename to “Autumn mode” … still to much complicated, maybe we pick just few tanks, not all of them… ok call it “Winter mode”.

    Maybe in next patches we will see that graphics of the normal game will be closer and closer to “winter mode” graphics, because customers want that.

    if you lower graphics details to min (all things to min)… normal game looks almost like this winter mode already. So feel free to try it, you will see “future wot” :D
