  3. 18 hours ? so its April 13 in Germany-any chance its over in less hours ?

    ReplyDelete
  4. so, any estimate on 0.6.4 yet?

    ReplyDelete
  5. why to say that release on 12th when in reality it will be 13th? Could the updates be started earlier to get it released on 12th all over europe?

    ReplyDelete
  6. Q: 18 hours ? so its April 13 in Germany-any chance its over in less hours ?

    A: It will last at least 12h. 6h are added just in case of emergency.

  7. "- Premium tanks for those players who registered using special CBT keys are to be assigned (extra slot included)."

    This does not mean the premium gold tanks, right?

    ReplyDelete
  8. 4:00am UTC is 02:00am german time...even 18hours maintanence would mean 8:00pm german time...far away from 13th ?!!

  9. Q: This does not mean the premium gold tanks, right?

    A: Valentines mostly.

  10. "Q: This does not mean the premium gold tanks, right?

    A: Valentines mostly."

    I meant the bonus tanks you get when you order the gold.
    Because the promocode website that the mail you get sends you to tells you: "This promo code will activate a special bonus after you launch the World of Tanks client."
    But the email itself tells you: "Please activate this promo code anytime after the World of Tanks official release."
    I am a bit confused about when i have to activate that code.

    ReplyDelete
  11. can now say an exact time for Germany? So start and end? Please.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Should be from 5:00 to 23:00

    ReplyDelete
  13. in Germany its start on 6 A.M. UTC+2 (Summertime)

    fängt frühs um 6 an und geht wenn es 18 Stunden dauert bis nachts um 12 - also bis zum 13.

    ReplyDelete
  14. nonsense...check this for current time zone differences: http://www.weltzeituhr.com/infos/utc.shtml

    ReplyDelete
  15. hehe - nonsense - if you read your link carefully:

    "Während der Sommerzeit müssen wir zwei Stunden zur UTC-Angabe dazuzählen."

  16. As for many other things . . . the EU players are pretty much F****.

    Cheers

  17. so why didnt you start the server preps today? and have it ready for the 12th.. this is just STUPID

    That means 2 tanks ? 1 M4a2e4 and one random tanks ? and with pre order 3 prem tanks at start ? :D

    ReplyDelete
  19. To tell it in english:
    Start will be at 6 o'clock in the morning and ends between 6 and 12 o'clock in the evening(for Germany).
    For other countrys, check your local time. It may differ

    ReplyDelete
  20. Overlord - I have to use my promo code before or after release?

    ReplyDelete
  21. If you mean the Code you get from the Pre-Order, you have to use it AFTER the release.
    If you use it before, you will loose everything with the wipe (when I've read it correctly)

    ReplyDelete
  22. IMHO:
    "Premium tanks for those players who registered using special CBT keys are to be assigned (extra slot included)." - in CBT time was some promotions (i.e. in Gamers Sites): with keys for closed beta was included premium tank (Valentine?). This means that this tanks be not deleted (sorry for bad english).

    Overlord, what about the promo M3 Stuart? Will it come back? And will it work as a premium (extra credits/exp) or like a standard M3 Stuart (with an extra slot)?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Lol its also the 13 of April^^

    ReplyDelete
  25. Hi Ovi, since the premium tanks KV5 and Lowe are announced with vers. x.6.4 we don't see them upon release. if so when will be release with Lowe coming?

    ReplyDelete
  26. For asians, yes it will 13th of april =P

    ReplyDelete
  27. That would huge advantage for all players with American heavy. German and Russian heavies are not available at the beginning, that really sucks.

    ReplyDelete
  28. What a cheat to all the players who pre ordered only to get the Lowe. I didn't like any of your preorder tanks. I was never complaining but that would be a big let down. If that's happening I try to get my money back. And I'll stop playing I really don't like dishonesty.

    ReplyDelete
  29. You announced vers. x.6.4 will be release vers. Plz offer the gamers a money back option for pre orders. Thx

    ReplyDelete
  30. Are we getting US TD's on release. Or is it only the tanks that were added in the last patch (Patch notes said "New premium tanks added") ?

    Regards, MiG

    ReplyDelete
  31. US TD's are likely to be added right before the French tech tree comes along. They are still getting the final kinks worked out.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Q: I am a bit confused about when i have to activate that code.

    A: When the servers are up and running.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Q: Overlord, what about the promo M3 Stuart? Will it come back? And will it work as a premium (extra credits/exp) or like a standard M3 Stuart (with an extra slot)?

    A: Yup, it should come back.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Q: "What a cheat to all the players who pre ordered only to get the Lowe."

    A: Excuse me, but Lowe wasn't available for pre-ordering. It was announced it would be added after the release.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I'm sorry it was announced that 0.6.4 is release version. Incl. New premium tanks. So thats why I preordered, to get the Lowe. No Lowe at start, that's a cheat. I would have not preordered. To me that makes perfect sence. Thx. And don't get me wrong I know it's not easy to satisfy all. But that's a major factor. If the Lowe is not available at release I want my money back. Thx, that's all.

    ReplyDelete
  36. They have said for at least the last two weeks now that 0.6.4.x would NOT be the release version after all. Even before preorders started it was said so you have no excuse.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Not clearly, they said there will be patches in-between. Hey but nobody said the premium tanks are not available. But maybe you can let me know where this was announced. And believe I'm not the only one. I'm just the first. A lot will complain.

    ReplyDelete
  38. We should download the Release version - 0.6.3.11 or our current version will be updated?

    ReplyDelete
  39. That's not true there was no announcement that x.6.4 is not release vers. This is misleading. Agreed.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Oh wow what a boring start. So the only heavy is the American one, congrats that's disappointing. Where was it posted that 6.4 is not release?

    ReplyDelete
  41. hey what releasing the premiums after 2 weeks. Lol at that time I have a KV3 or KT. No brainer.

    ReplyDelete
  42. only people complaining here, id just like to say \o/ woo hoo its nearly release day, at last :)

    Im sure the team will get the servers running and everything done asap, they will want it done just as much as everyone else.

    Hope things go well and am looking forward to starting again, knowing that everything i do will stay done :)

    Good luck with the servers etc devs

    2nd post of overlords, with the tag...

    TAGS: Patch 6.3.1 contents, Patch 6.4, US m103, event gold release, ignore function, exp and credit changes, garage slots, platoon tiers.

    Good question.... did I miss something?........I thought the plan was to release under patch 6.4??? I'm betting 6.3.10 is just the wipe patch? I feel a little better about griping now...Just sent $90.00 to wargaming (= paying customer) was posted on march 30th, overlord replied.

    The 0.6.4 update needs polishing, it is a major patch (up to 1Gb) that needs additional testing, both internal and supertest. The release date has been fixed and we can't push it now.

    so 2 weeks people who look around the forums knew what was going on

    ReplyDelete
  44. Q: We should download the Release version - 0.6.3.11 or our current version will be updated?

    A: There will be a minor patch.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Dissapointment that was no official statement like the announcement of the release version 6.4. It sucks.

    ReplyDelete
  46. To the loser who claims that you have bought the heavy package. You are just happy to be the biggest tank on the block, for the first couple of weeks. What about a fair competition and the other nations. Germany starts with a tier 6 medium that can't penate the American heavy. It's just ridicules. A lot people ask in countless forums how much it will be. Nobody gave the answer sorry the Lowe won't be available upon release. Sad joke.

    ReplyDelete
  47. All they said was that V6.4 was the realease candidate, which is very different to saying that 6.4 would be the release version. No harm done IMHO

    ReplyDelete
  48. IMHO it's not fair and it was false advertisement. You show all the changes that make perfectly sense. So people make a decision based on the changes. I agree, I would have waited with pre order. It's unbalanced right know especially with just one nation with a heavy tank. Now I play low tier or wait until the announced 6.4 version. They should have clearly mentioned that. I want my money back too.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Why are you so concerned about the Lowe??!?!? You do realize it will cost 10 THOUSAND gold or $40 dollars.... Thats alot of cash for a tank..... And as noted they said at least two weeks ago or on March 30th that the release version WOULD NOT BE 6.4.x.... Can not be helped that you could not take the time to read the forums. It was all over the place BEFORE the preorder packs were even posted.

    ReplyDelete
  50. It's not only about premium tanks. The detracking will be changed so it would be more interesting to play TDs. I mean just read the update. If I would have known. I would have waited until the update is out. It would have been helpful to announce the same way, the update was announced. And that was not the case. The premium tank delemma is just the most obvious one. So again just one nation has the first 2 weeks or more a tier 8 heavy. Really cool.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Guys. Two week thats plenty of time to get for example KV with 152mm gun. It should roll mr. Premum Heavy as it want.

    cheErs

    ReplyDelete
  52. Actually the update or release version 6.4 made the game somewhat closer to a finished version. For guys who ordered teh medium package I warn not to use this tank. Its a rediculous tier 6 with no penetration. So the first weeks you will be the cannon fodder for the tier 8 heavy, at least 50% of match making. I'm sorry that sounds like a joke. But take some of the features from 6.4 into 6.3.11. if the maus is not finished, who cares no one will have a maus in the beginning. detracking would be great.

    ReplyDelete
  53. in that case there should have been a pre order for all nations with 3 different tanks. the announced premium tanks in 6.4 would have been at least a step to more fairness, because grinding will be much easier for the guys with the pre order heavies. if thats not a fair complaint again to all losers who have a heavy i wish that all other players stay in 7tier and below battles, so you guys can duke it out.

    ReplyDelete
  54. i would love to see the possibilty to get the money back for the pre orders, somehow.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Why should you get or even deserve a refund?!?!? You are getting EVERYTHING you preordered and before you complain again about not knowing the info was out there and available for anyone that cared to look that the 0.6.4.x patch would NOT be the release version. Heck as bad as they are about dates slipping I am surprised the game is actually launching at all tomorrow and will be amazed if we see 0.6.4.x series before June.

    ReplyDelete
  56. This is ridiculous! They said April 12th. Now they say update takes at least 12 hours. They knew that before so why didn't they tell us. Say beta ends sometime at the 12th and update will take at least 12 hours - period.
    I would have planned my day off at the 13th then.

    Thx wargaming for not understanding the community.

    Already uninstalled WoT and the russian version I had installed.
    Can't support a game/company that screws over testers that have given almost a year of their lives to their game. That includes the $90 I was pondering of getting days ago.

    Adios WoT/Wargaming.net. It's been..........mildly interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  58. You didn't get 1000 games in almost half a year??? That is some really slow testing there.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Just found this blog today, its an interesting read but quite a lot of whiners really. Refund for pre-order? LOL Like any online game there is a pretty big section that you agreed to that states game experience can and will change and changes to the game environment may or may not happen etc.

    ReplyDelete
  60. If you played 3 games a day (that could take 10 minutes if you died fast) you would be over 1000 easy if you started at the beginning of closed beta.

    So even if you played just an hour a week you would be over 1000 games played...

    .....

    ReplyDelete
  61. If you're all gonna whine about how wargaming.net screwed you over, you're playing this game for the wrong reasons. I've been part of the closed beta since sept and all I have to say is great job dev team and bravo

    ReplyDelete
  62. OMG are you serious? We are not going to see the Lowe or ver 6.4 at realease? That is SO FUNNY! Stop crying people! This is a game that has gone through a year of development and testing. If you think that you can do better, go make your own damn game and tell everyone EXACTLY when your items are going to be released and see what happens when it doesnt happen like you planned it! This stuff happens and if you preordered under the assumption of getting access to the Lowe or any other tanks, guess what, you read something wrong or you assumed wrong! So stop crying, get in your Tier 1 tanks and duke it out till they release what you are asking for. If you cant handle that, looks like your only option is to sit here and cry, Oh crap, that is what you are doing anyways. BOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! LOL. Just play the game or TRY to make your own that pwns as much as this game does!

    ReplyDelete
  63. A lot of ppl commenting here haven't obviously witnessed a game launch before. Timetables will stretch, nothing new there. There might be crashed servers, failing logins, missing premium tanks and gold etc etc. And of course tubloads of whining on some peoples part. All of those problems can be mended, though some will still cry for a refund.

    If they can make the launch happen in a 24 hour window, I salute them. If people can even play the game during the 12th, it's a good achievement. If all the premium tanks and gold are there, when I first login, you have fulfilled my expectations, even if that login time happens to be near or on the 13th.

    Good work so far. Keep up fixing the problems and I'll be enjoying this game for a long time to come.

    ReplyDelete
  64. As the saying goes,"You cant please all of the people all of the time". Myself, I'm happy enough to have a game I can play that's quick and easy enough to get into, weather it be a short battle whilst waiting for the missus to dry her hair before an evening out at the local or a couple of hours of 'hard battling' to earn enough exp'points to up-grade to a higher tier tank.I think its a pretty good game that does'nt require an atlas of instructions to learn. The controls and functions in game are easy to understand and user friendly and best of all it doesnt cost a mortgage to buy..C'mon guys credit where it's due the devs have a hard enough time on their hands getting the full game on-line for us today without being scalded by The "I want the biggest,most powerful,bad-ass machine at the start,so's I can just sit back and pop all the little guys with no fear as they appear in their lower tier noob mobiles, mob. Get a LOLtrakter and remember whence ye came from and "knock it off with those negative waves".

    ReplyDelete
  65. How about the people who couldnt preorder because of your poor choice of payment processor ? are you planning any compensation or are you just going to ignore us just like untill now ?

    This seems to me a rushed out release with major problems still pending and major bugs with payment processors. You coudlnt do even that one right ... get your money.

    ReplyDelete
  66. LOL YOU GUYS ARE SO FUNNY AT LEAST IT GIVES ME SOMETHING TO DO WHILE I WAIT FOR THE ACTION TO START! HEHEHE!

    HEY DUDE DID YOU SERIOUSLY TAKE THE DAY OFF WORK? BWHAHAHAHAAAA!

  67. Do we get the additional tanks from the new tech trees or the old boring tech trees ?

    ReplyDelete
  68. As i understood, there will be no change within 0.6.3.11 patch, only hard wipe.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Assuming that April 12 2011 the game would go live, And the 6.4 patch would go into effect. So based on that info. I order the medium package. Only to find out 18 hrs of downtime and No patch. So in the future.I would recommend better facts.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Reading some of the comments made me laugh.

    You've been "working" on the betatesting?
    You "deserve" more free stuff?
    You're "cheated" because tank X isn't available at launch?
    You're angry because the game isn't live at a time that doesn't fit your gaming scedule?
    You're mad because of the wipe?

    Com on guys, you've been playing the game for free, quit whining and keep enjoying the (still free) game when it goes live.

  73. To all the computer experts, that now so much about game releases. It would have been good to make an official announcement that 6.4 is not gonna make it. That never happen. It might might have been said in blog bites, I'm sorry but to me it's misleading. Detracking is not working, IS3 is vanishing in the open 100m away. If the announcement would have been loud and clear I would have waited. But they wanted to have the cake and eat it. If the version6.4 is not gonna make it in 2 weeks they knew it long before, so they tricked plenty of customers. Good game but dishonesty I can't live with.

    ReplyDelete
  74. If the update is out in a couple of days I believe them they just wanted to keep the release date. If the version6.4 takes another month you know it was trickery. They could release the parts that are finished.

    ReplyDelete
  75. just have to say.. Good game..i have played wow since it came out and thx for curing me of that desease:)

    ReplyDelete
  76. shouldnt a release version be 1.0 or so, and not 0.6.3.11?

    ReplyDelete
  77. Lol no way, I'm one of the losers who pre ordered. I feel tricked too. I would have waited. I just hope it takes only a couple of days to change that.

    ReplyDelete
  78. How it's going ? any surprise problems that would delay the release even more ?

    ReplyDelete
  79. I submitted a ticket to get my promo code for my pre-ordered "light tank" package and I still haven't received any response yet? Any idea when I will get my code?

    ReplyDelete
  80. Fellrunner big mouth, you probably ordered the heavy preorder. So much about fairness. Thats why you are so happy, because you're the loser starting with biggest tank. So like previous posters said, it would be fair if all nations start with with similar chances, that's all. Letting people know ahead of time would be fair too. We just ask for fairness. Thx

    ReplyDelete
  81. Clicked on my email about the pre order, and it didnt work!
    They shut down pre order 6 hours before North America was in April 12th. Amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Many of us in the US, were not able to purchase the pre-order tanks\gold on April 11th. Many of us got home from work yesterday at 5PM our time thinking we still had plenty of time to make that our final transaction before the wipe. Apparently the pre-orders ended on the 11th at 5PM Pacific time and 8PM Eastern Time. We wish that there would have been more clarity on when this would end. Many of us thought that we would be safe on the 11th, a day before the hard wipe. I will continue to play the game, but this left a sour taste for many of us.

    Wonder if these are the same dudes now trying to launch this game.

    Launch day went already...

    ReplyDelete
  113. the last comment of overlord means at 5pm EDT still 1h short of their max estimation of 12h +6h.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Reminds me of EVE patches where the timer usually stopped, or even better: counted forwards! Many of you may still remember when it was "ETA 18:00" then at 18:00 it was "ETA 20:00" and so on. :)

    ReplyDelete
  115. So release on the 13th then

    ReplyDelete
  116. Now I am really looking forward to the game going live, but have to say the planning for the release was poor.

    The preparation should have been done before the actual day of the release, so people could play as soon as it was the 12th.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Indeed, hard wiping could have occured one day before really...

    ReplyDelete
  118. It seems that for a lot of Europe, It will be the 13th. kind of a cocked up release there :/

    ReplyDelete
  119. wonders what the latest eta is

    ReplyDelete
  120. eta is still 11pm UTC. read carefoully and think before you post.

    it was said (like some people mentioned) that it`ll be 12 hours + 6 hours in case of some accidents which were sure to happen (there are always delayes with wot patches), so 12 hours passed, and Overlord announced it`ll use another 5 hours of 6 predicted. we`r still 1 hour forward :x

    ReplyDelete
  121. 4 hours? not too bad i have things to do anyway but the lack of info on the forum is a fucking disgrace i hope one of your work employees ends up in a coma...simply for the fact im sick minded and believe in karma if you treat the community like shit then its only fair GD DAY

    ReplyDelete
  122. Amateurs! Even if it will be live before midnight: Publishing the 12th as a release date and then working the whole day on that "magical" date (propably whithout being completely ready in the end) is at least unprofessional. Better: it is either totally stupid or completely arrogant about what people might think...

    ReplyDelete
  123. You know what, this whole Beta and Release is an UTTER farce. You are now p!ssing off paying customers by your total ball locks with regards to what is going on, you customer service skills are non existant and the fact that it takes 18 hours...i mean 18 hours to sort out the servers is RIDICULOUS and it is not like this is a one of occurance!

    ReplyDelete
  124. Yes worst launch of a game ever... thumbs down for the WOT DEV team

    ReplyDelete
  125. Since release date is 12th, does that mean the euro servers will be up sooner to meet the deadline?

    ReplyDelete
  126. I also find this pretty damn fail. Especially the fact that there is NO official information what so ever except some blog that some dude linked in some whine and troll thread on the official forums. Talk about making a professional appearance to your future customers. just lol

    ReplyDelete
  127. Stop talking about "customer service" for f**k sake. This is getting boring. Overlord was nice enough to give us an ETA. If you're so disappointed in the way they've handled the whole situation, do the whole community a favour and vote with your "buying power" - or in this case, playing power and don't play it. At least this way we won't have to put up with your inpatient bulls**t when the game's released. Fannies.

    ReplyDelete
  128. It's like saying "I will be sending the money tomorrow, but i'll send courier on foot with it, so maybe he gets to you in 5 days." :D Really, if the server was offline three days for preparation before launch, it would be ok, but when it's offline one day on it's supposed launch, it's fiasco. Time to get over it, i'll see tomorrow, won't have time to play today anyway in this late hour. People, let them work ^^

    ReplyDelete
  129. Delay should rewarded by 300 gold for all registered users lol :D

    ReplyDelete
  130. Haha, 'show me any post and i will find the reason to whine about'.. Just sit and wait till it goes live and see what happens. From other side, did You rlly think you gonna use a product you don't have to pay for?

    gl and hf

  131. its been 18 hours in the EU so when is it coming back on

    ReplyDelete
  132. no it hasent its comming back on at the latest of 10 oclock tonight

    ReplyDelete
  133. facepalm indeed. who would have cared if game would have been offline day or two before actual release. If they say game will be released in 12th then it should be online in the first minute of 12th.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Prices for gold are much too much. 50 E for best packet is ok for EU. 90 is a joke.

    ReplyDelete
  135. Aye, usually release date is the date when game is released, not the date when you start release process :)

    ReplyDelete
  136. Chill guys... it´s just a game. Sit down on your couch, drink some coffee and watch a film or DVD.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Don't worry, it's still the 12th in Samoa.

    ReplyDelete
  138. yer but if you sit down and it comes on you wont get a head start

    ReplyDelete
  139. Well, let me remind all whiners around here that almost ALL MMO have been released after the announced date. In that case it's a little bit longer than in some others MMO, but that happens...

    ReplyDelete
  140. They said game will be unavailbe for 18 hours from 4:00 am UTC, that means game should be back online at 22:00 pm UTC and now its only 18:22 pm UTC, they still have time so i dont understand why all of you are complaining.

    ReplyDelete
  141. Calm down boys and go to sleep. There is new day after school tomorrow :-D

    There is still too much time to play.

    ReplyDelete
  142. To all you who say calm don it's not matter of time we all have that. But the place where i earn my euros if we say something is done in some day we usually do it or it will cost lots and lots of money to our company so i'm hoping that wargaming will improve on these matters later on when game is running.

  144. Interesting, not only have you backstabbed your non-RU customers with almost double the price , you allow yourself to behave like this.

    Disgracefully ridiculous.

    ReplyDelete
  145. tommorow we dine in hell

    ReplyDelete
  146. and they relese the game on the 12 april not start hard wipping it they should have done that yesterday then relested it today

    ReplyDelete
  147. its so funny to see people write on this forum
    you would think its the aids vacine they would sell.......lol

    ReplyDelete
  148. 20:03hrs..."at least 4 hrs to go" equals early hours of the 13th in anyones book.

    Dunno, if Yuri was this late history would have been a whole lot different.

    HAIL YURI GAGARIN AND HIS MEMORY!

    ReplyDelete
  149. I think people are not asking too much here. If company says game is going to be released today players expect to play before midnight on this day. So just a hint next time when ur going to do some major updates start them early enough to stay in timeframe what u have told.

    ReplyDelete
  150. Just get the god damn servers up, who cares about patching and stuff. Only thing you need to do is to change name of the game directory shortcut =(remove beta), reset progress on beta accounts and give the prepaid dudes thier stuff. Nice, all done...

    ReplyDelete
  151. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdpclKpIbi4

    Do we get it? NOOOO
    Do we want it? YEAHH :P

    ReplyDelete
  152. If they would have said game is live 13th this timeframe would have been perfect bc it seems game is going to be online close to 13th. Only failure was they announced it will be live in 12th...

    ReplyDelete
  153. I don't really get why people are so annoyed...

    Yes it's hard for all of us waiting to play again but they are still within the time frame they announced.

    At least for now, it is 18:52 UTC, so if it started @ 4.00 UTC and the waiting could take 18 hours, you could at least wait until 22.00 UTC.

    That's 3 more hours of waiting... Then you can complain all you like.

    Just my opinion of course.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Yep. I've wasted a day sitting in front of my computer waiting for this when I could have actually planned and done something else.

    ReplyDelete
  155. Sorry to say it but I think it's pure garbage that the game is being released at or after midnight between the 12th and the 13th.

    If release day is the 12th then it's a MUST to release it before 20:00 CET.

    It's not like this date was set a week ago, you've had tons of time to prepare this.

    Why didn't you take the servers down yesterday? Would have left you with plenty of time to fix everything.

    I rarely use this word but I think "amateurs" or "noobs" is in order here.

    ReplyDelete
  156. Guys, did you really think that servers could be up on today? Thats not unusual.

    ReplyDelete
  157. i want to playyy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  158. Overlord,

    1). Is there an updated ETA?

    2). What are currently working on?

    ReplyDelete
  159. It's not fair from WoT team to announce release at 12th and make it 12th at 24:00 or later - early 13th. Many ppl who paid you for preorders works, study etc and will be able to play 13th since 16-17h - that means will be back at the start. Never mind, if it would be still free, but when you pay for something (and it's not just a 5 cents) you demand to be be treated seriously.

    So I think that many of them will think twice before they trust WoT team again. At last I will.

  160. Q: how big patch 0.6.3.11?

    A: ~30Mb

    ReplyDelete
  161. thx for the marylin song.. it's been a long time i was listening to one. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  162. I know that in gaming industrie soon can be 1 hour or 5 years. But if company says release will be on certain day they should have everething ready when they announce that day and on that day they just do minor things and game is live early on that day not midnight.

    ReplyDelete
  163. sry to be comenting anonymously but qck qs

    Q what caused the use of the full 18 hrs instead of the "maybe" 12 hrs? and wht is the liklyhood of going over the 18 hrs?

    ReplyDelete
  164. the dev's are already done. they give them some time to relax for all the service calls. it's also great to let the people wait that they are just in a grateful mood, lol. so nobody complains about 6.3.11, because nothing is really change.

    ReplyDelete
  165. is there any possibility to get the patch before servers are back online?

    ReplyDelete
  166. Overlord back from my nap, Still looking at 12pm for server start up ?

    ReplyDelete
  167. Q : Will we be able to patch the Beta client or will it be a complete download ?

    ReplyDelete
  168. I wonder why I took a day of vacation from work - just to be one of the first on "THE BIG DAY" - April 12th ... now i have to go to bed, cause vacation is over and work will get me back in a few ours ... Thanks again for this BIG DAY!

    Do you know how long ppl waited for the Duke :p ?

    ReplyDelete
  171. Wow for such a great bunch of devs who communicate and listen to the community all the time there sure are some very harsh posts on here towards them. I say at least let them be until the time they actually TOLD us it would take has elapsed .

    ReplyDelete
  172. seems its a down load as it the game log in takes you to the website for download
    jsut its not up yet

    ReplyDelete
  173. overlord !! we need info !!!!!!! pleaseee!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  174. It is stated further up the page that there will be a 30mb patch download

    ReplyDelete
  175. Everyone just chill the flip out

    ReplyDelete
  176. it is still 2 hours before the 18 hours anyway and this has been known now for a while so its not like we werent warned

  178. even more reason to relax and wait

    ReplyDelete
  179. Many of the comments here proves Darwin was wrong.

    Hint: Google for the meaning of "ETA".

    Some are so eager for the launch that they threaten to get refunded the preorder packages, /rolleyes.

    Delays and such is perfectly normal for game launches, especially MMOs.

    Developers have gone to Hawaii with our money from pre-orders

  182. wtf is wrong with wargaming ? they had had enough experience with the previous patches and yet still reproduce the same mistakes, poor skills i think ...

    ReplyDelete
  183. you still have 3 hours to wait

    ReplyDelete
  184. This pretty much sums it up so far, I think.:)

  186. i'm going to sleep and fuck wargaming...

    ReplyDelete
  187. Yep that is the problem we have 3 hours. If they say game will be released on 12th it's a joke if we can play 3-1 hour on that day why they didin't just say game will be live 13th

    ReplyDelete
  188. I will have one hours play on the 12th if its on time. mind you depends how long it will take to down load
