I like Britain and London in particular and that's why I was extremely excited about the Eurogamer expo. In reality it hasn't really come up to my expectations. Not many visitors. I'd say that there are few visitors to be honest. Unlike Gamescom expo we had in Cologne last month. Yeah, I know it was supposed to be like 10 times smaller than the German expo by default, but c'mon. Hopefully things will get better at weekend.
The good things are that there is no loud music, crowds you need to squeeze through to get anywhere, less rubbish obviously, and no endless queues too.
So encourage everyone, who has this opportunity, to come and visit us. We will be there for all 3 upcoming days. Why would one want that? To get a hold of free give away stuff with some premium content (including WoT t-shirts branded specially for British players), chat with developers (no one wants to meet Overlord? :( ) and ask any questions you would love to, take pcitures with the two tanks outside the expo centre - Valentine and T-34-85 (they were taken from Bovington tank museum and we thank our friends from there), and play WoT of course.
Special expo accounts have nearly unlimited financial resources and all possible vehicles unlocked, including KV-220, T23, Pz. II Ausf. J, BT-SVm Pz. V-IV Alpha, Pz. V-IV, A-32, M6A2E1, M4A2E4 and many others.
Pay us a visit at Eurogamer show!

ReplyDeleteP.S. I can't be there but If you could save me a T-Shirt to give to my clan-mates(OAP) who are going, that'd be great ;)
Please put the damn T23 back in the game already!!
ReplyDeletethis makes me realy sad. give us back T23

ReplyDelete/ polish eagle on t34-85 yay :D/ So what is wrong with that? There is a special event on ru server dedicated to the legendary polish t-34-85.
ReplyDeleteThe T-Shirt is AMAZING. Thanks to all WOT team for a great day.
ReplyDeleteI can only say: poor guys who fell for the advertising and then see how the game actually is
ReplyDeleteico, nobody forces you to play. There are so many games...
ReplyDeleteI like this one - even if I am disapointed that I cannot reach Maus from Tiger/Kingtiger-path anymore. If you don't like the game anymore just stop playing it and find another one you like.
Stop complaining in every topic you find. It simply does not help anyone.
1. Like the game and play it.
OR
2. Do not like the game and play another one.
Ever thought about it?
I find it amazing how ppl are able to bitch about the US heavy line in this post...
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting however that the T23 is playable at the expo. Overlord, is there a chance the T23 will return as a T8 US premium? The US line players would benefit from a T8 moneymaker...
Really looking forward to seeing you guys on Sunday! Got tons of questions and looking forward to the chance to try out some of the more elusive premium tanks!
ReplyDeleteQ: No one wants to meet Overlord? :(
ReplyDeleteA: I wouldn't mind meeting Overlord i just don't go to the GamesCom. Compared to it's predecessor Cames Convention in Leipzig the Cologne-Version is plain rubbish.
Sorry for that Overlord. I'm sure you had plenty of fanboys anyway. :)
greets akunosh
Come to one of these thing on the east coast of the USA plz.
ReplyDeleteI want to try that Panzer II Ausf J.
ReplyDelete80mm of frontal armor? Yes please.
If you get that worked up about a game matey, you need to take some Prozak and get some therapy!!! what a moron
ReplyDeleteMe wants PanzerII J in live server NOW. Or I don'y play anymore and send me daddy to kick Ovi's!
ReplyDelete>Can't believe WG screwed this up so bad.
ReplyDeleteThe game has been out five months and we have 50% more tanks than we started with as well as several much requested changes and additions (free platoons, german tank buff, clans and clan wars).
If there's nothing you find 'worthwhile' yet and you're getting bored then that's fine, take a break for a few months until the features you want are in.
To slam the developers for 'screwing up' because they haven't added what you personally want is just absurd.
It's like all the people complaining about the matchmaking system, calling it 'broken' because they don't like it personally. It's brutal yeah, but that's the way the game is, argue for change if you like but insisting it's a complete mess just makes you look silly.
Although I do agree that some of the big technical issues like anti-cheat tracers and the smoke performance fixes should have been given a higher priority they're hardly game-breaking issues.

This is what they were talking about, people bashing running to the defense of WG and OL. You're the moron since you can't grasp that people are just expressing their opinion and feelings on something they liked to play as a hobby. If all that are left are basement dwellers as yourself, there wouldn't be enough people to keep the servers alive in NA.
So just think about that before making yourself to be a big keyboard bully and looking a fool, instantly negating anything you can hope to muster as an attack.
Q: I find it interesting however that the T23 is playable at the expo. Overlord, is there a chance the T23 will return as a T8 US premium? The US line players would benefit from a T8 moneymaker...
ReplyDeleteA: Yes there is a chance that it will be brought back to the game. One way or another.
Your both was the most forthcoming with handing goodies out :)
ReplyDeleteYou looked busy when i was there so i left you alone :)
greetings Hellig_eu
ps sadly the tshirt is just large so to small for me :P
OL you guys need to make the t23 happen I will not buy a premium tank till you release a us style tier 8 medium so get on it I'm tired of hearing this "there is a chance" crap. Someone at wot developement needs to take the bull by the horns an give the us tankers a christmas present.
ReplyDeleteReally good meeting Overlord and the team who answered few questions i had about the game. Also, and enjoyed the chance to play all the tanks with premium content :)
ReplyDeleteexcellent day ;)
boobies?
ReplyDeleteSeptember 23, 2011 12:51 AM
Thats the way things are worked out in the real world :D Some things that are totally not working can be fixed just by showing guys some girls. And i have to say - l000l. Because.. you know, they don't get better.
will the t23 be free to the people that obtained it before the change? if not why?
ReplyDeleteThere is ONE thing missing from all the pictures I've seen sofar from Eurogamer.
ReplyDeleteW H E R E I S OLA!!!!!!!!
Get to it, Overlord!
People should really stop paying for this unfinished piece of shit game. I hope every developer gets hit by a car and dies slowly.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you aska bout a free t23 all thats gonna do is keep them from putting it in at all gtfo.
ReplyDeleteQuestion to the people who were there:
ReplyDeleteOn those computers, could you play the actual MMO game (Random Battles) or could you only play some single player advertising version ?
Because when I imagine a newbie to play a high tier battle he could be so frustrated to newer touch the game again.
Or if you could play the MMO version, was there a special matchmaking applied that made you always the high tier in the battle ?

when stating this the OP stated he wanted to punch overlord straight in the face, for wrecking the game. The post has now been edited. My original comment still stands. Well done WG, Overlord and 400 strong workforce.
answer to ICO, you played as EG_Gamer at Expo. It was normal random battle and matchmaking was same as normal.
ReplyDeleteYou used premium account and could euip all gold items, ammo repair kits etc. Although i slight advantage at tier 10 it didnt help much.
Me and Overlord used churchill with prem ammo it rocked!
Thanks for the T shirt and the miniture Panzer 3 ! I even got to try out the Maus and IS7. It was a good day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Overlord
That's a German T-35-84! The on its turret eagle is missing it's second head.
ReplyDelete"skaerials said...
ReplyDeleteWell done WG, Overlord and 400 strong workforce."
LOL... really? 400 ppl on this and yet there's only one game mode in this game, no other major nation's tanks, forever to fix the american heavy line.
OH, that's right, they cashed in on us suckers and put that money into two other projects instead of focusing and fixing this game so it can finally get out of Beta. Pathetic. Both you the sheeple, and WG.
What a terrible developer. I learned from this not to jump into WoWP and WoBS because of their track record of not caring about their customers like how they didn't do anything for all those people who lost all their premium time when the game was unplayable directly on THEIR PATCH day and how they changed up what you got in the "pre-order" box at literally the last minute pulling the wool over people's eyes.
What a terrible developer. I'm sending out an email to some major media outlets (IGN, GS, PA, etc) on this situation since they've done nothing, absolutely NOTHING to remedy the situations.
Stop lying, my bro in law says you were packed today and that the queues were terribly big, no tickets left at 2pm, and so on and so on :D
ReplyDelete"Anonymous said...
ReplyDeleteAnd stop, stop posting "reviews" of your game."
yes, it's annoying to see those reviews which were obviously payed for, do you think New York Times will make an advertisement (what a positive review is) for free
next time please post reviews made by independent people not by people you payed them to make a review
Crying babies are back...
ReplyDelete"I'm sending out an email to some major media outlets (IGN, GS, PA, etc) on this situation since they've done nothing, absolutely NOTHING to remedy the situations. "
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your endeavors man, but it wont change a thing. Ultimately, this game is free to play. It's not WG's fault that lots of people dumped so much cash into their game. This isn't WoW, where by paying a monthly fee, the user can at least be assured of some kind of quality standard. The sad truth is that payment for this game is completely optional. Money put in does not equal quality, it only equals an immediate and temporary advancement or boost in your personal game experience.
No offence, but Im positive you and whoever else dumps money into this virtual experience got what you paid for; which was less grind time through advancement, better battle stats through gold ammo or better income of exp and credits through premium, etc.
The arguments that a lot of people are putting forth that they put money into the game as a sort of 'investment for the future' and expected better from WG is actually kind of naive. All games, F2P or mainstream junk like COD, have a shelf life. Activision doesnt really expect as many people to play the same COD after a year, and I dont think these guys do either. I dont necessarily agree with it, but I think thats how it is.
Any news on the US heavies .. M103 for start?
ReplyDeleteWent there today! Did not see Overlord (wanted to thank him personally for actively communicating with the community!) despite asking the WG staff on 3 or 4 different occasions. Got some free goodies as well which I am thankful for! :)
ReplyDeleteHope to see you guys again soon!
Instead of adding more "tank nations" u could really more focus at fixing the GAME (matchmaking,tracers,arty limit pert team,dull shitty maps,damage model,map bugs and so on)
ReplyDeletebut no.......lets add more tank nations and other craps for the kids .
U should really hire some western professional game developing aces to help u with this because its clearly obvious your developing team is struggling with that.
Overlord,
ReplyDeleteNot related to EU Game Expo, but a question nonetheless,
Q. Is there any chance you might down tier the RAM-II similar to what was done with the Churchill in the last patch? Reasoning being, I assume the Churchill was downtiered both because it's gun doesn't damage much of anything at all in tier 8+ and because it isn't much of a "heavy" at those tiers. The RAM-II uses a variation of the same gun, and the same is true for it in a Tier 8 match, also, having bought it as a premium, it might be more fun to play it if it didn't end up in Tier 8 matches, and it's even more expensive than the Church is.
Always cool to see new premium tanks. Don't see a reason to move the Ram-II or Churchill to Tier 4. They would be over powered on those tiers. The Ram-II can do well even in tier 8 fights, its all in how its played.
ReplyDeleteI think more nations should be in the game, so that it becomes more World of Tanks and not World of Select Countries that had tanks. As to game improvements, there coming slowly but they are coming. Give it time man, if your po'ed about money put in, stop spending the money and just ride the free till something happens you want.
As to games like WoP and WoBS ... there are lots of Warplane sims and some online ones. I don't think its going to do as well as WoT in the end. Primarily because it has competitors for the real money players, where WoT does not. With WoBS, what plagues WoT will plague it too. MM, Sighting [Especially sighting], Camo issues and maps will all be problems present in WoBS [Which is see as the WoT with ship's instead [still on the same playing plain].
"I think more nations should be in the game, so that it becomes more World of Tanks and not World of Select Countries that had tanks."
ReplyDeleteTrue that mate, but there should at least be some sense of balancing of those Nations - rather than starting a new nation line straight away fix and nerf the lines that are too strong to match the levels of the other ones. Also make sure that the mechanics of the game are alright, that the game isnt fail, then add some new tanks. Id really be happy if it was worked this and not the other way around.
Imo WG is all about premium stuff - making money out of ppl playing this game, not about customer relations and quality. Even tho Im still gonna play it, unless Skyrim or Space Marine proves better.
