We have received substantial amount of feedback and now it's time to make changes.
We would like to thanks all the testers and invite them to the 2nd stage. Restart of 7.0 public test is scheduled for November 24. The test will be restarted under v. 7.0_test2.
UPDATE. 23.11.
Server-side update will arrive tomorrow. It won't bring much changes that are noticeable for players. Client update will be deployed next week. Need some time to implement the changes.
UPDATE. 24.11
Stage 2 of public test is rescheduled for November 25. Preparing the client update.

not reset, restart, maybe you should have some more patience and read what is stated more carefully, they are restarting the test to apply the changes to the test server so that they can get a better grip on how things are working
ReplyDeleteYup a restart, so you can test the player feed back tweaks/other adjustments. Maybe they should call this the caffeine patch?
ReplyDeleteI hope the HE nerf is gone in patch 2.
ReplyDeleteI suggest these changes to the game: 1) Add average damage for each tank in the statistics. The average damage show maybe most of all "numbers" each players skill level. The average damage should be calculated into the matchmaking to makes battles even more even and fair 2) Add the % of gold ammo used for each tank (gets the money players into the open) 3) Better statistics after training and CW matches. Damage and exp made for all tanks should be shown to at least the field commanders. 4) More honor to the field commander/s. A teams field commander/s in the current CW fight should be shown with a marker or similar. 5) Removing gold ammo or make all ammo credit based 6) Training matches should have "ghost" hero achievements shown. 7) CW should have two days off each week to reduce the strain on the best CW clans. 8) Clans with areas close to a landing zone should be able to join the landing tournament.
ReplyDeleteMan I can't wait til the finally release it. I am really happy with the update even if everything was not released in time. Overlord, your doing great with the info. You can't please everyone. Only thing that would make me really happy is the release of my M103. I can't wait!
ReplyDeletemake dead players DEAD!
ReplyDeletecan you give us some changelog?
ReplyDeleteQ: can you give us some changelog?
ReplyDeleteA: Of 7.0_test2? It's not ready yet.
Q: Are there any plans to reduce the terribly high upkeep costs of Tier 8+ tanks any time soon?
ReplyDeleteI was one of the testers and I absolutely loved the new graphics and interface. Thanks for giving us another crack at it.

Eeeee, what for?? To make grinding easier for bad players and difficult for decent ones?? Why someone, who is bad player, should have easier life?
Bad players shouldn't have easier life. Good players, who wants to play only with other good players, have clan wars and tournaments. Maybe WG could also make some league for them. But taking players skills into consideration in matchmaking is for me quite strange idea.
WP:
ReplyDeleteI actually understood it that i would work like this:
Tank A is underperforming (as a whole, not user based), so it will have "easier" matchmaking than other same class/tier tank B or C.
Interesting idea, but would not work everytime I guess.
Too bad.. missing the second part of the test then due to a family event... well.. family > tanks... sometimes :-)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for an updated changelog that i can read on the road then, thanks overlord!
Overlord, any substantial changes so far in the 0.2 version of the patch that's going to come online at the 24th?
ReplyDeleteI can see a matchmaking system based on damage dealt working, although it'd have to be tweaked for each type of tank. It'd keep the T-34s away from the IS-3s in battle, unless the IS-3 sucks or the T-34 is very good. Just an example.
ReplyDeleteOverlord, will the second version of the test just be a small patch? We won't have to download the whole thing again, right?
@ Gappa
ReplyDeleteIf tank is underperforming it should be buffed :)
Any personal thoughts on the test Overlord?
ReplyDelete@ WP
ReplyDeleteHehe, that would be even better solution! :)
Will we have to redownload a whole new client for 7.0 test 2?
ReplyDeleteWill there be new tanks for us. I think no new tanks = not a update at all (just my 2cent)
ReplyDeleteOverlord, in the 7.0 trailer, I can see the M103.
ReplyDeleteCan you confirm whether or not the M103 is in the 7.0?
Checkmate //
ReplyDeleteThat's not M103. That's French heavy tank
so you say you have taken down the REGULAR game instead of the TEST server game? cuz i cant play it :)
ReplyDeletegetting error: Warning the data obtained from the service is incorect. For details, see log file.
23.11.2011 @10.07 CET+1
@Overlord, PLS remove the green text that says "screenshot/save"!
ReplyDeleteI like to take many screenshots but not having lots of unneccessary green text in the pictures.
@Checkmate
ReplyDeleteThe 'unknown' tank in the end of 7.0 trailer, is a teaser for 7.1. It is the french AMX for tier 10 (not 9 right???)
but the M103 comes with 7.1 aswell.
update to my previous post: only the launcher is having problems...if anyone cant run the game, just run it from .exe file, not from launcher :D
ReplyDeleteI really hope you can enable OverTargetMarkers to work. I don't think I can play WoT without it, I will have to just quit it for other games.
ReplyDeleteI think i talk with the voice from lots of ppl when i say, PLEASE DONT MAKE US DOWNLOAD +2GB again, let us patch the 7.0 test game client with a test2 patch that does not size 2GB.

any highlights?
Can i propose an improvement still?
ReplyDeleteIt would be great that u can chose the type of shell in the countdown time... so that u are loading the preffered and dont have to lose the first second to do that (if u dont forget at last xD)...
Could it be possible?
Thx for all! Nice improvements!
Overlord, there is something that you can change too. I know it is possible, and it would make difference.
ReplyDeleteWhen entering Special Battle window, there should be restriction who can make team, not that everyone can put players in team and out.
Also, when team is ready, there could be an option for commander of the battle to set up where which tank should stand at the beginning of the battle. This could make a little + to CW.
Cheers...
what about the 5 men platoon is it gona be implemented
ReplyDeleteQ: Overlord, any substantial changes so far in the 0.2 version of the patch that's going to come online at the 24th?
ReplyDeleteA: The update is going to be only for server. Client patch will come next week.
Hope you will give some work to upgrade camouflage in next update because those ones looks ugly i had much better fan made camouflage for free and u want to pay for something like that?Maybe try hiring fans which made camos before if u cant do it well.I expected that ill see a really historical camouflage like u promised, please try adding some optional details like historical numbers and logos of divisions in which individual tank served.
ReplyDeleteQ: Any personal thoughts on the test Overlord?
ReplyDeleteA: Many of them actually. Most important thing is the feedback on 7.0 was mostly positive, which is obviously good. Ofc there are some faults, we have to fix prior to the release.
Q: Can you confirm whether or not the M103 is in the 7.0?
ReplyDeleteA: M103 is planned for 7.1 update.
Q: Does that mean the 7.0 Patch will arrive next week or I got something wrong?
ReplyDeleteCheers
This is just more and more annoying, have you guys actually ever made something at the actual time you promised...never seen a company this unprofessional, even Blizzards "Soon" worth more than your announcements...
ReplyDeletecan you tell us the changes anyway please? :)
ReplyDeletealso, any hints what one has to do to get the pz IV hydro or the su85i on the real server yet?
to bad that the new prem tnaks will probably never arive ingame ore only be available if u buy the box version of wot what a bad idea of wg
ReplyDelete@Shongi - mentioning Blizzard in the same line as WG is already the highest award they'll ever get. doesn't matter if you compare the good or the bad.
ReplyDeleteSo basically what I'm saying is that you just gave a compliment and not a complaint. :)
If you want to complain, mention WG and EA.
Game is released, what box are you talking about?!?
ReplyDeleteCheers...
the box where is a cd with wot on it so that u dont eed to download it and in that bos is a code or so that gives u one of those tanks
ReplyDelete...ye ye, I know what box is! My point is, what for is box needed when game is already out!?!
ReplyDeleteCheers...
What's this I hear about overmarker not going to be available in .7 patch. Most clans use it and if your going to ban it or the people using it then you will loose a lot of your fan base. Mods make games - I have been playing online since 1992 - yes with dial up modems. Quake was great with mods - mods spawn other games and encourage people to play. overmarker is located at http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?showtopic=48492&st=260
ReplyDeleteEncourage WarGaming.net to let development of overmarker continue.
Overlord, I'm planning on buying gold soon and I like the SU-85I. Will the SU-85I and/or PzIV Hydro be available in a promotional package (along with some gold) and if so do you have any estimate on how soon that would be?
ReplyDeleteWill there be any changes to the IS7, IS4, and E-75 in the new build. As they currently stand on the test server they are way out of control.
ReplyDeleteTo elaborate on the previous.
ReplyDeleteOverlord any comments on the slope changes? There are tons of concerns on the IS7,IS4, and E-75 currently. I personally have tested the T30 vs the IS7 from the front in multiple different supposed "weak spots". The T30 bounced 23 of 25, 21 of 25, and 24 of 25, of standard rounds on the IS7. Gold rounds gave those numbers a marginal increase, but not really much to call home about. I find it hard to believe it was only a minor 2% change with these kinds of numbers.
NOTE: Those round were fired at 50 meters.
ReplyDelete@Nolla - Yeah, what he/she said.
ReplyDeleteOverlord, a kinda silly question really. Why not split KV-1 and KV-2 already ? I mean you basically have both of them ingame already, and none of them really collides with the overall new Russian Heavy lines (as Kv-2 leads straight to arty line). Care to elaborate ?
Useless WG.
ReplyDeleteNEXT WEEK?
Why don you keep this version open until then!?!
Overlord, so what is the estimated release date for the actual patch? More or less of of course.
ReplyDeleteThanks...

A: The update is going to be only for server. Client patch will come next week.
November 23, 2011 3:58 PM
client patch means the real patch comes out next week or the test patch comes out next week
Quick question. Optimistically speaking, when's the soonest that 7.1 will come out?
ReplyDeleteBy the way was something done to SPG accuracy in the past week and a half? I noticed my M43's shells going unrealistically wide on many shots, thought it was odd, but then noticed other people mentioning that something strange had happened to their accuracy in SPGs in the past week.
ReplyDeleteIf I understood this correctly, they will update the LIVE servers tomorrow without any noticeable changes to the LIVE players. And without a LIVE client update.
ReplyDeleteThey will also update the TEST server and TEST client (to 0.7.0_test2) with adjustments and fixes compared to 0.7.0_test1. Probably a new test client has to be downloaded.
The LIVE update 0.7.0 based on 0.7.0_test2 will be in one week.
@Mini_Bolo: Release of 0.7.0 is end of November. How many months does it usually take between updates? There are not even preliminary patch notes for 0.7.1. The dev team probably has most of the French tanks ready, but the update will contain some more than just new tanks. It has to be merged with the changes in 0.7.0. It also needs to be tested (closed testing some weeks, public test at least 2 weeks).
ReplyDeleteEnd of November plus several months plus 4 weeks is probably not within this year. More like February/March. But who knows? They might have been doing all the French/US tanks in parallel reducing the time until next release. But the closed/public testing period alone pushes it into 2012.
I think WOT is geting bigger I can see that by the nr of players that are online every night, I recomand to take it easy whit the marketing campains and hire some more "heavy tier 10" devs
ReplyDelete+ programers to get things done.
I don't understand why u pple are working at World of airplanes and World of ships when are so many things to do in WOT make this project a huge succecs in MMORPG market beacouse there are many many future perspectives.
Is hard to be the best but is harder to stay there.
Acutally, didn't Overlord comment that World of Warplanes and World of Warships were being made by other groups so Wargameing can focus on developing WoT in house?
ReplyDeleteThe only issue I have is the premium American light with the duel 37mm Autocannons being put into games far above its capable of preforming well in. It doesn't have speed, armor or guns for Tier 8 battles, translating to about Battle Tier 10 or so.
In that same regard, Overlord, anything being done about that?
@darrenhaayes:
ReplyDeleteIIRC WoWP and WoB are made by different teams, so these projects should not drain resources from WoT.
@Magos Cortez:
ReplyDeleteYup, had the same problem with MTLS-1G14, but I have a felling that it is due to very low player pool on the test server, ie. matchmaker tries to put some players together regardless of the outcome, otherwise maybe you would have wait minutes before the right mix of tanks would come up - thats my assumption - but I might be quite likely wrong on this one :)
Sometimes I had nice battles with it.
If the IS4 and IS7 a bouncing a lot more shells, I'll stop playing. Good players who not suicide rushing and know how to angle properly are able to bounce already a lot. If this game becomes a bounce orgy, yup without me. Thx
ReplyDeleteI tried to damage a T25AT with the MTLS. I found out I couldn't damage it at all. AP just bounced off, even the rear armor, although I feel I mighta been able to penetrate there had I been more lucky. And since HE is useless now, that didn't work either. So I just circled him until someone else shot me because being in tier 8 battles with a tier 4 tank is a joke.
ReplyDelete7.0 comes in December, calling it now XD
ReplyDeleteQuestion regarding the M103.
ReplyDeleteIf someone has the T34 and is working on the components to reach the T30, and it gets replaced with the M103, can you explain how the spent, and available XP will be distributed?
a. XP saved, components researched will be refunded, and available on the M103.
b. similar components of the M103 will be researched, M34 unspent XP will be available.
c. XP lost/left on th M34.
d. something else entirely.
---
I ask as I'm sure I'm not the only one who has worked to get the T34 before 7.1, but will unlikely have reached the T30 by 7.1
Thanks in advance.
-ror
@ror
ReplyDeleteBasically the T34 morphs into the M103, equipment and experience intact. The unlocked parts will be turned into equivalent unlocks on the M103. So if you have the top gun on the T34, you'll have the top gun on the T34. And if you only have the 105mm, you'll get the first 120mm on the M103.
You do get new 100% crew though. Crew are the only things that leave with the T34.
Players who have a T34 in their garage at the time of the revision will have it replaced with a M103 with the respective module setup and a 100% crew.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally they will also get a T34 as a premium tank with the old crew and an extra garage slot.
There is a new product from Rogers called online manager that allows you to this. You have to know this feature.
ReplyDeleteWOW Gold
when will the testserver go back on pls tell us
ReplyDeleteActually the news got updated:

ReplyDeleteWill be on the next update (test2) all tanks from test1 deleted?
ReplyDeleteI see that one of the "unnoticeable" changes is that you made vertical stabilizers MkIIs, Wet Ammo Rack Class 2, and Ventilation Class 3 more expensive by 100,000 credits.
ReplyDeleteI really don't want to make anybody angry here and i am not just trolling here arround, but i feel a little "disgusted" from the following situation. It is an often problem in the game. It is not a bug, it just makes people sad and dissapoint, makes players to log off. After the calm down phase (hours or days or weeks) players log in again, and whitin some battles meeting the annoying situation again. Be pleased to watch, what i am talking of. I really don't want to attack the game's devlopers, becouse i really like the game, but please, tell me, this will change in 7.0 ! Please!!! -> http://href.hu/x/gjj7
ReplyDelete@WoodTractor
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to remove your name from the screenshot, Fatraktor. Also, my experience shows that having pure T-59s (like 7 of them as the only Tier 8s) on a team leads to losses more frequently than it does to victories. They have a weak gun and are torn to shreds by the Panther II's and especially Ferdinands.
what time's Stage 2 of public test ????
ReplyDeletei'm waiting
Will the HE system get rolled back to the old one? If not why? Since on the forum the poll currently is 81% of players hate the new system. Even if you think half the players that like it haven't voted it will still be 73% hate the new system. So is it fixed? Will it be fixed? And if no to both of them, why if your community wants it fixed by a vast majority?
ReplyDelete@Loge
ReplyDeleteYou got me. :) Maybe i am just a bit paranoide, becouse i am living in a country where You cannot express Your opinions, or if You do, You are screwed... Thats why i tryed to hide my name. I FAIL. Btw on my language means my forum name here exactly the same that you saw on the screenshot. However.
/My/ experiences telling me, that with my biggest Tank: VK 3601 (H) Is a Type59 unbeatable, at least you attacking from behind, but if he rotates his turret you are off. And the VK 3601 (H) is not so agile to drive him just arround. So open battles are off. Anyway VK 3601 (H)is a tier6 Tank, the screenshot was made with PzKpfw IV. that is tier5. My Friend with the PzKpfw VI Tiger I. was also beaten by the Type59-s many many times, and his Tank is fully evolved! And reading his statistics, he is not a noob... The point is, that a tier8 Tank should don't be mixed with a tier5, or 6 Tank, especially when so big technically differences are present. Seriously, this case kindnapping ones good mood.
Best regards: WoodTractor aka Fatraktor.
# PadyEos,
ReplyDeletewhat forum ?, and what pool ?.
i dont see any HE shell poll anywhere.
HE 7.0 patch poll:
ReplyDeletehttp://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/65977-is-the-new-he-damage-less-or-even-none-a-good-thing-or-not/
Yes I can agree with Woodtraktor. Life for 5-7 tiers is now much harder than a few months ago and grinding is more difficult. First, they meet a lot of Type 59, which are bigger annoyance than Lowe and KV5 because you have no chance to avoid fight, Type are too fast for it. Second, V tier lights are really powerful and hard to kill for this tiers. People learned it and I see more and more platoons of T-50-2 or VK2801 which, if placed with 5-7 tiers, are devastating. Last evening I have seen such platoons just raping my teams (was playing with Tiger and Panther). Platoon of one T-50-2 and two VK2801 had together 8 kills, platoon of three T-50-2 7 kills. In both cases they easily get to bases annihilating one of our flanks. So I think game became slightly unbalanced in this case. If you get such platoon in team (battles were 7-8 tiers are top), you have almost sure victory.
ReplyDeleteEverybody still talks about the 0 damage criticals.
ReplyDeleteOverlord, let me give one idea: why don't you put some worning (written or vocal) telling us what did we hit in the critical?
It is supposed to do some damage to a module.
Tell us what it was and you will get fewer complaints about that.
we just want to knoe what did we damage in the other tank.
Is it simple to do? dunno. But at least try that.
Thx for the game and updates.
For example:
ReplyDelete- you killed the gunner (now we know that the tank will have a slower reload)
- you damage the track (he will be a sitting duck for a while
- you killed the driver (he will be slower)
- you killed the commander (the rest of the crew will be affected)
something like that.
this way we'll know that de shot was not a wasted one.
Little Devil,
ReplyDeleteVery good point/idea.
I approve of Little_Devil's post.

ReplyDeleteHELLO EVERYONE
ReplyDeleteQuestion to Overlord : Did u Fix the "Q bug"?
Explanation: You use Voice Chat in a Platoon and a Game ends , if you try to talk to your Platoon now ,you get back into the Garage and there are lots of "Qs" typed in the Platoon Chat.
So you got to erase them first ( or just send em like I do :P ) and click* several times to get the cursor out of the Platoon Chat window.
AND then u got to say everything a 2nd time.
I know how to fix it easyly -> Just make it that you have to click in the chat if you want to type something , and otherwise the cursor won't be "inchat" f.ex.
would be nice # if u Fix that ,i can't count anymore how often i've heard : " Oh man , this damn Q "
