Apparently, I was a bit too fast with the 2nd test announcement, it will probably be up tomorrow. Looks like 8.9 doesn’t run on schedule. There is a date when it comes out, but I won’t announce it for now, as there is a high probability it will be changed and I don’t want to see tons of OMGUWEREWRONG posts again.

Also, check this out: Armchair General magazine made an interview with The_Chieftain, pretty interesting stuff (*wink* check last two answers *wink*)

If you are interested in mobile gameplay, Overlord asks for your opinions for WoT:Blitz

- Q: “Will there be an automatic platoonmember search (SS: like in 7/42) for platoons, based on rating too?” A: “I am not for rating, but for winrate”
- Q: “Can I hope for more premium medium tanks in 0.9.0 or 0.9.1, since the Chinese lately got one?” A: “You can hope, but we don’t guarantee the result and we won’t tell in advance”

- in new player statistics, draws count as losses, because “a draw is a loss – the goal of the game was not completed” and “well, we don’t encourage camping”

WG EU post gone

Small update: Edrard asked me to remove the WG EU mocking post and I did, since I do respect him. You can find a copy of the original post on the FTR FB wall (just click the FB button on the upper bar).

PS: will leave comments opened, but out of respect for Edrard, please do NOT copy the post into them.

Hall of Shame – Exnom edition

Warning: this post is very picture heavy

You know what time it is :) It’s another Hall of Shame time, showcasing the worst retards of World of Tanks.

So, there is this clan Exn0m, whose members appear on Hall of Shame regularily – must be a really fun clan to be in, with such retards. But don’t worry, there are other idiots too.

Also, I removed the Hall of Shame from the upper menu. There is no need to keep this shit archived – it’s enough these morons get called out.

- the developers discussed and rejected the idea of hiding player stats (“there would be more disadvantages than advantages”)
- Q: “Please, can you tell me which religion forbids the devs to make the disabling of the chat in game possible?” A:”Pastafarianism”
- it’s possible there will be no arties at all in historical battles
- the reason the Japanese tankers have sort of American-ish names (ranks) is the same as for the Chinese tankers: 99.9 percent of the players outside of Chinese server wouldn’t be able to read the “hieroglyphs”
