WG EU Fail? Your win!
Thanks to Dreadsteel for noticing
Hello everyone,
weekend is here and with it the weekly WG EU screwup. We all know they can’t do things right, but this time, you can use it to your advantage. The event Keep Calm and Tank On formally offers 30 percent discount on TOG and AT-15A:
But in fact, in the game, TOG has a 50 percent discount.
AT-15A still has only 30 percent.
8.10 ETA

Hello everyone,
according to the translation of recent Japanese interview with Viktor Kislyi, the ETA for patch 8.10 (that will bring the Japanese tanks) is mid December. That means the test server will start quite perhaps in a week or so.
More info from the interview:
- going to “invest” a lot in E-Sports due to the competitive nature of the Korean market
- Japanese Teams for WoT competitions are pretty strong, due to (1) competitive (2) military fans (3) G&P
- F2P is the way of the future, V.Kislyi doesn’t want pay to win
- WoT, WoT:B, WoT 360, WoTG, and WoWP will be released to the Japanese market, but not as a separate server, the Japanese will play on current ASIA (former SEA) server
This made me giggle…
Like 10 minutes ago, in battle. Looks like EXN0M clan has quite a fanclub:
It says in Polish: “Clan [EXN0M] recruits Polish players with 500+ EFF and 43% WR. Requirements> 1x tank tier 3. For more info, contact MajorGoldfield”
15.11.2013
Just so you know, guys, I got told by WG RU that the annoying portal bug with switching languages will be fixed with the 8.10 patch, they developed the fix already but something (unspecified) prevents them from deploying it straight away.
- SerB will not publish how many players can RU server handle before it gets overloaded
- Hunnicutt archive digitization: “when it’s done it’s done”
- the devs haven’t found any new tech usable for WoT there for now
- price of the archive? “no comment”
- T110E1 and T110E2 are also mentioned in Hunnicutt’s “Firepower” book, but there’s not much on them there
- according to some player, the devs promised to remove the “shift” (SS: the term used is “rising”, sorry I don’t know what it could be) of the arty aim circle when the tank they are aiming at disappears. SerB states this won’t be changed and they promised no such thing
- apparently the suspension collision model will not be made more detailed in the future (SS: as in, currently the tracks are like one huge hitzone, they won’t be changed into segments), if I understand correctly
There was also (for a Japanese portal) an interview with V.Kislyi. Since I don’t speak Japanese and google translate produces… mixed results, I’ll ask a native speaker for further explanation. In the meanwhile, here’s what can be gleaned from it (via Russian source):
- WoWp will appear in Asia during next Fall. There will be a short beta.
- Japan and Korea both put main focus on cybersports in computer games
- V.Kislyi likes Girls und Panzer and there are plans for a long cooperation, there are apparently plans for several seasons
- V.Kislyi likes to watch anime, he watched many movies from Studio Ghibli production
According to the data of Slava Makarov, this morning (around 8 AM) there were already two players with tier 10 aircraft in WoWp, winning the Russian “get to tier 10 first” competition.
New Ranzar video
This time it’s about something we all have seen lately… :)
CW battles staging now illegal
Source: http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/321864-clans-staging-battles/
Hello everyone,
on WG EU server a post has appeared, specifically declaring battle staging in order to farm fame points as illegal. Wargaming will apparently keep an eye on the proceedings and punish obvious rigging.
A step in the right direction I’d say.
EU server: One free day of premium on 29.11.2013
Thanks to Locastan for bringing this to my attention
Hello everyone,
I usually don’t report on upcoming missions anymore since everyone can check them out, but this is interesting. It seems we will get one day of premium account on 29.11.2013 (I assume this will apply to US server too):
World of Tanks Blitz preview

Thanks to Herman the German for this one
Hello everyone,
recently, at G-Star Expo 2013 in Busan (Korea), World of Tanks Blitz was presented to public. Well, if one picture says thousand words, then one video says a million, so here it is, courtesy of Dom1n (thank you):
A few pictures for now:
Exn0m: what the hell?
Hello everyone,
I rarely write about certain clans – there’s usually no need to. Some clans have idiots in them, but usually it’s not an issue of the entire clan.
But EXN0M from EU is a very special case. It seems to me they are chock full of the worst kind of retards. Not only they have the worst kind of ragers (cancer wishers, anti-semites):
(“Cancer Jew” and “I hope you die on tumor”)
and they also had their own issue of Hall of Shame, but what NabukadnezarII sent me today oversteps all bounds.
Meet Martiener1 – EXN0M member. This vile piece of disgusting shit is a statpadder, that plays like a pussy. When hit, he moans like a little bitch (very entertaining replay) :) But that’s not all. He’s also an anti-semite and wishes everyone cancer. Don’t worry though – he’s not alone. His pal HODOR is just as wicked.
Check out this replay. This is hands down one of the most disgusting things I’ve seen on WoT – I mean: everyone rages from time to time, even me. But this disgusting moron takes it to next level – everything’s there: cancer, Jews, insults against Polish, everything. Wargaming should permaban this asshole once for all. Noone will miss him. I certainly won’t.
Update: Based on this incident, EXN0M kicked the asshole out. Wise thing to do, shows there is some decency too.
