Well, there you have it, apparently no more codes for today.

Of course, that’s what they said yesterday, so I’ll be watching the stream anyway, just to make sure, but yea, don’t expect much.

An Interview with an ex-Support WG EU employee

Hello everyone,

ever wondered, how exactly WG EU Support service works? A former Czech employee decided to talk to Carramba66 about this and the conditions they worked under. The Czech original of this interview can be found in the “DenĂ­k Nooba” WoT magazine (can be found here). I think it’s quite interesting, several points at least.

How did you get to work for WG?

I lived near Paris and I lost my job. I didn’t want to return to Czech republic straight away either. Because I wasn’t fluent in French and didn’t have French education, most legal open job positions were unavailable to me. While looking for jobs on the internet, I typed in the keyword “Czech language” and that’s how I found Wargaming was looking for someone for the Customer Support department, speaking English and Czech. I sent them my CV and motivation letter, but I recieved no answer. After three more months of looking for a job, I modified the motivation letter (I wrote what they wanted to hear), applied again for the same position and within the space of 10 days, I got hired.

Can you describe your usual working day?

If we skip the “commuting” part, the usual day was generally monotonous. We arrived at 6, 10 or 14 o’clock (by now the shifts are different), a stop in the mess hall for fresh fruit, then a trip to open space offices on 8th floor. Then we logged on our computer, the choice of tickets (questions of players) and their assignment to our account. We had to handle 70 tickets per day. The on-hour break for lunch we were allowed to take whenever we wanted, apart from the first and last hour of the shift. The work itself consisted of writing the answers to player questions, looking for pieces of information in internal databases or in knowledge database, consulting colleagues and testing (playing) WoT. Sometimes, we also translated news, guides etc. from English to Czech. And then after 9 hours of work, time to go home.

8-bit Tales – Differences between RU and EN

Hello everyone,

I noticed one thing, that is kinda strange/interesting. Do you watch the 8-bit tales? I usually don’t, because their “stories” feel like someone took a shot of LSD before creating them. Ranzar is better (when it doesn’t get political, but that’s another matter).

Anyway, there are apparently two versions of the video, that differ not only by language, but also by content

English one

 

 

Russian one

 

 

The differences are:

- in the English one, the T71 gets crushed by a hammer, in Russian, it’s a suitcase
- in the English one, when the player “wakes up”, he has the feet and ears of a donkey, in the Russian one, he has claws of a crayfish and antlers of a deer.

The second part I get (as explained many times before, crayfish and deer are Russian words for “noob”), but why the hell is there a donkey involved? I have never heard EU or US players referring to noobs as donkeys. Why not make his head in the shape of a tomato :P The part with the hammer/suitcase I did not get.

Invite Codes and 300g bonus codes

Hello everyone,

first and foremost, I would like to address something: many of you redeemed the Alienware invite code and then sent it to me. While I appreciate the gesture, please, don’t do that anymore. Whoever wants the code can simply get it themselves (will post the link later) and by redeeming it even though you don’t need it, you are kinda wasting it. I will post the codes sent to me, but honestly, I’d really prefer to recieve other invite codes for redistribution – the kind people can’t get themselves.

Sorry for the delay. Originally, I wanted to leave it till tomorrow, but what the hell.

- the turret of the HD T-54 is apparently placed correctly (SS: some player asked whether it shouldn’t be moved a bit to the front)
- Storm confirms that the green tint in sniper mode in 9.0 will be optional
- the sounds of tank destruction from 9.0 test will go to the live server apparently, they are popular (SS: it’s like a “thunk”, sounds pretty cool)

Well, not much today anyway, back to code rage :)

No More Bonus Codes from Stream

Source: http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/376371-no-more-bonus-codes/

Hello everyone,

I’ll be quick: Belizarius made a query at support department, regarding the codes. The official answer is: there will be no more bonus codes from WGL stream, because the ones that got leaked were all used up last night and the organizers have no spare ones.

Well, that’s that… and the morale of the story?

Don’t trust WG EU staff:

Don’t bother waiting for codes…

Hello everyone,

I will still post the codes if I get to them on time (as usual), BUT…

about 15 minutes ago, the following code appeared in the stream:

FT7BC6VZ87

And guess what:

http://worldoftanks.eu/dcont/fb/image/wgl_gf_qrcodelandingpage_del_015.jpg

It’s one of the “leaked ones”, that got eaten up last night. In other words, by the time it appeared on stream, it was already spent and everyone, trying to get to it, will do it in vain. WG is clearly using leaked (spent) codes in the stream and I doubt they’ll get their shit together.

Edit: Wargaming reply – Gingerfraggle: BIG CODE UPDATE -> codes from the night ARE the codes that will be puted on the stream, BUT most of them ARE NOT activated yet – you have to wait for the right moment to know when to use it
