31.7.2013 – part 2

Something I forgot to add earlier: Listy’s interesting article about Japanese tankers at Khalkin Gol (Nomonhan)

- the rumors about KV-1S with 122mm gun being made a T7 premium are false (categorical answer)
- Q: “Why is the MM bad? If you don’t answer, I will go on a meeting with you and will ask a LOT of questions!” A: “Oh, we’re so afraid now. Thank you for amusing us.”

World of Tanks card game

So, World of Tanks now has a card game too, World of Tanks: Rush. Apparently it won’t be a collectible (eg. all the cards are present in the box), for now at least. Anyway, it’ll be sold from 1.8.2013, from what I understand. In Russian.

- SerB states that the “Stalinec” inscription was removed based on the demand from EU server
- Object 430U can’t replace the IS-7 as tier 10 heavy (SS: no idea what was the point of asking such a thing)
- there is another candidates for tier 10 heavy, which has roughly the same characteristics as AMX50B, minus the autoloader – it’s the second heavy French branch T10, SerB states it has an okay frontal armor, but paper-thin sides

- it looks like the T92 will not be the tier 8 American light tank after all
- SerB wasn’t the WG vice-president in the beginning, he got promoted from the position of lead game designer
- after the chat is reworked, the clanmembers will apparently recieve the status of a “friend”, when it comes to the question, whether you can recieve a whisper (PM) from them or not

Weekend WG fail

Hello guys,

looks like the latest WG EU fail (one of the missions that was supposed to reward you with one day prem not functioning properly, causing many players to “lose time” grinding it) caused a record amount of rage on EU forums. 50 pages and going. I also recieved a record number of messages about this issue, 37 to be exact (no need to send more, guys).

What to say. I didn’t report on this earlier, because a) I got to it a bit late, didn’t notice it until the real shitstorm started and b) I thought it would be fixed quickly. It wasn’t, which clearly points to some more serious error.

My personal view on this is that while this bug is fucking annoying, there has been enough butthurt over this. In other words:

- the community people did take the message already
- it is an annoying fail, but it will make the community people work THAT much harder to avoid it next time. Won’t it, Ectar?

Again, it is only my personal opinion, but I think the rage in the thread should calm down a bit, just let them work or something. WG EU people have very little pull (contrary to popular belief) and they are most likely not guilty of the whole screwup.

*shrugs* Just my two cents.
