Storm was just collecting feedback on personal missions (can’t get used to that, I’ll call it individual missions, both names are stupid anyway), no answers there, still – I wonder if anything will change based on vox populi.
- Storm states that the infamous radioman miniturret on KV-5 will not be buffed: “if we do that, it will be overpowered when on the top of the team”
- Storm states that they balanced the 9.5 minimap (specifically the brightness of the tank names) around the way it is made in XVM
- improved garage tank filter: “when it’s done it’s done”
- Storm states that the placeholder stats are not even initial balance parameters, more like some numbers “so that it drives around and shoots so we can test the model”
- developers already have normal balanced tank parameters ready, only they released a really old version on the test server
- according to Storm, the patch is TECHNICALLY ready, so it’s possible to test (things other than the tanks)
- Storm states that to reward most active reporters of bugs with gold and stuff is not an option, because it would just get exploited
- the Ghost Town map will be checked for clipping objects (SS: apparently there are great many objects that should be destructable but instead the tank just clips through them)
- Storm confirms that the IM parameters in the test are not final
- IM’s will not be activated (possible to complete) automatically (like achivements)
- IM’s will be rebalanced to assure that enough players can complete them
- M6A2E1 HD model will not come in 9.6, it will be made according to historical parameters
- Storm reacting on players getting angry about the IM’s: “What a massive butthurt you have here! Next time, we will have to specifically screw with various settings to be able to see such stuff again. Missions are not balanced yet.” (SS: the Russian players were quite pissed about these missions, posting some angry reactions)
