Hello everyone,

as some people noticed already, (thanks to Kvetule and Flyingd for this one), those folks, who won a CW tank and chose it using a special web page on WG portal didn’t recieve it in patch 9.5, despite the page claiming it should be credited with the arrival of the 9.5 patch:

So far, there’s no comment from Wargaming on that one, but I wouldn’t panic just yet. The deadline for selecting your reward tanks was 22.12.2014 10:00 CET (which was cca 30 minutes ago at this point), so it’s possible it was just delayed and the tanks will be distributed throughout the day. Of course, this is Wargaming EU so we can expect a fail, but for now, let’s give them some leeway. I will update you if it turns into an issue.

Please note the English wording “with patch 9.5″, which does not strictly have to mean “at the point of 9.5 activation” (in Czech and possibly other languages, it was however “with the launch of 9.5″, but that could be fucked up translation, wouldn’t be the first time).

Hello everyone,

a preview with some pictures of the Christmas mode.

Inside:

- the mode is called “New Year Mode” in Russian
- it’s similiar to the earlier “8-bit” mode with Karl
- there will be three tanks (one is “Mammoth” – boxy T110E5, second is “Raider” – in English it’s called “Arctic Fox” for some reason and it’s based on T-50-2, third is “Berserker” – in English “Polar Bear” and it’s based on Foch 155)
- the tanks are roughly similiar in sizes and guns, but the Mammoth has huge amount of hitpoints (5000)
- Arctic Fox (T-50-2) has few hitpoints, but 20 tons with 1200hp engine and 70 km/h maximum speed with 65 deg/s hull traverse
- platoons will be possible
- amount of players per team is not published yet
- you’ll get a medal for participating
- the gameplay will resemble the Karl mode, with one exception – healing shells: if you shoot your allies with them, you’ll heal their hitpoints

Hello everyone,

here’s a Russian video (with English subtitles) with Ola and Asya offering you to buy more WG junk. WG marketing sure is in overdrive mode this Christmas, isn’t it. The offer’s valid for RU server and this has to be the most awkward video with Ola I’ve ever seen. Have a look at it. Have some alcohol nearby though, just in case.

It’s like fucking teleshopping… at several moments I can almost hear the girls thinking “oh god, why…” and “killlll meeeeeee….”

Hello everyone,

Seriously, how many fucking times will we get this BT-SV shit? It’s like Wargaming shoving it down our throats over and over again. What are we, geese?

Hello everyone,

we all know WG EU tends to fail (sometimes in spectacular ways). I am sure you are asking: “what did they do THIS time?” – well, the smart boys and gals from WG EU disabled ALL the missions and discounts during server restart. Bravo!

As for fixing the issue – currently (9:26 CET), there’s no word yet.
