UPDATE on server status: ON
When will be arty deleted from game?
ReplyDeleteOh yes an He buff of some sort. Now I can expect more derping goodness!
ReplyDelete"Removed the alarm sound for enemy base capture. Reduced the volume of alarm sound for own base capture"
ReplyDeleteGood job ! :)
skum-cat My thought's exactly!
ReplyDeleteWho say's WG doesn't listen to the players :)
"Changed the voice notification for spotting enemy, penetrating and non-penetrating hits"
ReplyDeleteThis means i must use the "new" crew voice instead of my old one (before the change of voices)?? its here any chance to keep the old and get the notifications/changes? because i hate the "new" voices i guess im not the only one :)
Oh, nice, good news for the patch :-) And now, only one thing - do something like OTM :-) Hope, we will see it ingame in 7.1 ( maybe in 7.0, but i don't trust it :D )
ReplyDeleteQ: When will be arty deleted from game?
ReplyDeleteA: Never, I suppose.
Overlord, when the 7.0 will aplied? Its a chance on 6th dec?
ReplyDeleteOverlord question for you.
ReplyDeleteYou mention a lot of hit box fixes in this case IS-4 but no specifics as to what has been fixed.
Any details in this case as to what specifically has been changed so we know what to test. :)
Thanks.
"Q: When will be arty deleted from game?
ReplyDeleteA: Never, I suppose."
Overlord I have noticed in all your post you answer the most useless questions. Usualy we all know the answers. Could you just ignore such post.
Pretty please, with suggar on top :D
INDEED
ReplyDeletean option to choose "i dont want to play with/against arty" would be the best thing
it is impossible to make good combat fights with tactical movements because you have only two options: camp/stay where arty cant hit you or try to have fun and fight against other tanks and can get hit by arty
if there are soooo many people who like to play with arty simply implement the option..there should be enough enemys
at least a simple regulation would be nice
"2 artys max per team"
developers seem not to get the point that arty ruins the game..
if you like to play arty play it but give the thousands of people who hate arty the chance to play without it!!
posts*
ReplyDeleteArty is absolutely fine in the game.
ReplyDeleteand I'm definitely not an arty player - it too inaccurate to be fun for me.
theghostcat
us server.
Yo anti arty folks:
ReplyDeleteYou know of you HUNT arty rather then camp you win more often.
Arty only addes to the game.
ps: maybe an option would be interesting where you check "the next 24 hours i cant play with my own arty but i dont need to play against enemy arty"
ReplyDeleteso it is neither a permanent thing nor a "i play with arty as much as i like but i dont need to play against it" thing
Q: Overlord, when the 7.0 will aplied? Its a chance on 6th dec?
ReplyDeleteA: No, we are only finishing public test on 6th.
I think this is an example of Wargaming listening to its customers. Horns? Gone. HE? Buffed (but we'll see how much). Base alarms too loud? Made less loud.
ReplyDeleteLooks very good.
Now I just wish they would also listen to the main issues too:
* Lower arty damage and/or amount of arty in game
* Make spotting system more intuitive (e.g., shooting makes you more visible than now)
* Add tier 10 mediums and TDs
My favourite change is blocked :( Horns.
ReplyDeleteLORD AZAGHUL
ReplyDeleteit doesnt matter if you like arty or if i dont..
the point is that there are TOO MANY players who simply hate arty and dont have as much as fun in the game as they would without arty!!
so it should interest wargaming to implement an option who makes as much players as possible happy..
Overlord is there any reason why you skimmed over my question? I like others would like to know what changes you mean by just saying hit boxes fixed?
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly has been fixed on the IS4 could you be more specific please so changes can be properly tested.
Thank you
Q: Any details in this case as to what specifically has been changed so we know what to test. :)
ReplyDeleteA: There was a minor change. It won't be noticeable from 6.7.
yo,
ReplyDeletehow can i access the public server? I didnt find the answer anywhere on the site. Is it invite based, or public ?
HORZA
ReplyDeletehttp://worldoftanks.eu/news/663-public-test-3-update-v70/
the test server i mean. i'm sorry i'm retarded today ...
ReplyDeletewhen will be server on ? any ETA ?
ReplyDeleteoh nice. last HE change was too rought. Hopefully its just right now. looking forward to testing it out
ReplyDeleteOverlord U did not writte anything for 88mm Nazi gun, earlyer it was mantoned that it will be increesse from 220 damage to 240 damage. I stop play JgPanzer because I wait for this change. Its realy hard to grind tear 6-7 with exist 88mm gun.
ReplyDeleteActually arty is the most crippled unit in the game - arty can kill 5 tanks and only get 200-500xp total and barely enough cash to cover the shells that were fired. I rarely play arty for this reason.
ReplyDelete"Q: Any details in this case as to what specifically has been changed so we know what to test. :)

Thanks Overlord :)
Arty haters: you're just wrong.
ReplyDeleteYou don't know how to adapt.
And that's all there is to it.
I don't think the majority of player are arty haters, there just a few very LOUD whiners out there. (note: whiners not winners)
If you don't like it...hey don't play the game - thanks!

ReplyDeleteA: German 88 L71 had it damage increased to 240.
- Slightly reduced the absorption of HE damage by armour for non-penetrating HE hits
ReplyDeletearmor NOT armour
And it is almost nonexistent and does not address HE bouncing with no detonation off almost flat armor.
Some special x5 exp event for the 4 milion views on the blog ? :D
ReplyDelete"PadyEos said...

English spelling, dumbass.

ReplyDelete"Armour" is the correct english spelling, "armor" is the shorter, easier to remember spelling especially for Americans.

Well thats because you not get the point...its not about kills..its about damage..half arty users (or maybe half of all players) dont get that...i got 1 kill and 40k+ profit with arty no problem (because i hit the big guys turn they % almost to zero, kill arty and damage TDs)...you kill 6 guys with 4% and earn top gun with minimal profit...what is better??? guess...
AlCapone:
ReplyDeleteYou must know that Overlord is a big fan of artys himself, he played 268 battles with his Object 212 Tier7 russian SPG.
Unfortunately, while thousands of players want to play the game without any artys, Wargaming isnt going to do aniything about the problem, they even denying the existance of the arty problem.
That is the current situation.
Overlord, I have ventilation on my GW Panther (it was for me always quite funny to ventilate open vehicle ;) ). As I understand during introduction of 7.0 it will be automatically sold for buying price? And I hope you will remember that till 12th December equipment price will be halved. I don't wont to lose a few hundred thousand credits due to this ;).
ReplyDeleteOverlord, Antare wrote there was a buff for HE, but it's more like a nerf, right?
ReplyDeleteLess damage absorbtion isn't really a buff..
So will the 7.1 patch not come this year because of all the delays with 7.0?
ReplyDeleteArty haters: you're just wrong.
ReplyDeleteYou don't know how to adapt.
"And that's all there is to it.
I don't think the majority of player are arty haters, there just a few very LOUD whiners out there. (note: whiners not winners)"
And it seems to me that you didnt played ever a battle with a slow and big, high tier heavy tank on an open map against more than four artys in the battle. It is unplayable!
Your choices are:
A: Camp behind the buildings(if there is any on the map) during the whole game, doing nothing. (sounds like fun, eh?)
B: Go and try to play, and you will be spotted and killed by arty in seconds.
The current situation is not good, and need to be changed immediately. Thousands of players think and say the same.
We are all waiting to know if 7.1 will happen in 2011.
ReplyDeletebgabor911:
ReplyDeletehehe
that is even possible
i remember videos from viktor kisley (dont know the correct typing and even does not intrest me) who said how much he loves to play arty..
so it looks like a
developers+arty players vs.
non arty players
only chance to achieve somethign is if all non aerty players stop paying money..thats the only possibility to show them that they cant make the game only as THEY like it..
Q: Overlord, Antare wrote there was a buff for HE, but it's more like a nerf, right?
ReplyDeleteLess damage absorbtion isn't really a buff..
A: Armour is now absorbing less HE damage than it used to.
Q: So will the 7.1 patch not come this year because of all the delays with 7.0?
ReplyDeleteA: We need to release 7.0 first to be able to answer your question.
I got question for you Overlord, why are you removing ventilations from GW Tiger or GW Panther? Someone said to me artys already got "vent stats", so when you will remove it from artys which can have them it will be positive for us, so we dont need spend money for ventilations. What is true on this, will have GW Tiger or GW Panther the same battle performance or stats without ventilation?
ReplyDeletebgabor991:
ReplyDeletelittle azgul wont understand you because he has his own oppinion and believes that only he is right and as long as he have no problems everyhitng is fine and should not be changed..
i play over a year now and exactly the thing you mentioned with slow big tanks is the point!
i've spend a few hundred euros in the game since the first hour and watched it growing..
but i do not pay anymore now if they do not implement an option for all the players who dont like to play against arty..
OVERLORD:
Q: whats your oppinion?
please tell us why wargaming is ignoring the voice of thousands of players!
DON'T MESS WITH ARTY!! THose of you that complain of arty, obviously don't play arty. Your sitting in your tank with 300mm of armor, a 6 second reload, and 2500 hit points complaining about arty. Give me a break. I have 40 second reload, 11 mm of armor and move like a lead sled. I should have something to offset that. And a 240mm howitzer does fine. ;) OVERLORD, I think things are just fine. What do you think?
ReplyDeletesgtmajfoley, You can't really vent an open top tank. That's why all tanks(or most) with open tops aren't able to mount ventilation
ReplyDeleteIf your going to "buff" the HE, arty's main ammo, then lower our reload times. Were sitting out there naked waitin for a "buffed" HE shell to save us.
ReplyDeletegerman/american tanker:
ReplyDeletesorry but i've even played a lot of arty battles
range 1 to 8
sure it is fun to play with arty but its no secret that arty simple ruins the game for those players who prefer to play with big tanks and want to fight against each other and not agianst an invisble enemy..
German/ american tanker,
ReplyDeleteOur reload is just fine. For the amount of damage we do now, our reload is literally one of the most balanced things in the game. I play American arty, the slowest reloading arty in the game, and with a rammer and 100% crew, my reload is quite fast for the amount of damage I can throw at tanks some hundred meters away
Captplanet said...
ReplyDeleteBut i wanna know how would be stats changed on those arties when they will remove ventilations.
A: Armour is now absorbing less HE damage than it used to.
ReplyDeleteSince the above is true, how much damage will HE do as a percentage of its base damage? (I think it was 50% previously).

really? you mean its developers + arty players + medium players + light players vs heavy and td players!
what is medium and light supposed to do in game without arty? absolutely nothing
even now its world of heavy tanks... so why would you want to remove only thing that counters them (other than other heavy tanks)???
Overlord, are you prepared for the 'I don't like the AA flak, get rid of it' crowd in World of Warplanes?
ReplyDeleteAlCapone,
ReplyDeleterandom battles will stay random. No class will be excluded from them.
Good question sgtmajfoley
ReplyDeleteArtys are here to stay !!! (ppl who drop in a game . play for 2 hours and decide that artys need to go , and then bugger off , pittyfull )
ReplyDeleteAlCapone,
ReplyDeleteDon't blame arty players for the amount of arty Match Maker puts in game. The most players can do for setting the amount of arty in game is all joining in as a platoon. Even then, you've got 11 other tanks that will or won't be arty based on how match maker feels like crapping on you that round. It's going to take devs a long long time before they get that right. As I understand it right now, it's just a numbers game, but it really shouldn't be. So we'll see if they ever fix it. Until then, Sit back, let your scouts do some work, and enjoy being slammed by arty if you don't keep on the move.
@Overlord said...
ReplyDeleteA: Armour is now absorbing less HE damage than it used to.
-----------------------------------------------
Can you tell us what was the reason for this change? I have never felt HE was very effective, but rather, it is not as good as AP, so you use it only when AP is failing to penetrate. Where is the current problem that you are fixing?
Q: Can you tell us what was the reason for this change? I have never felt HE was very effective, but rather, it is not as good as AP, so you use it only when AP is failing to penetrate. Where is the current problem that you are fixing?
ReplyDeleteA: The reason for this was the overall reduced amount of damage under 120mm HE shells do in v.7.x series.
genai:
ReplyDeletelearn to play
medium tanks are not made for scouting only
they are at least as usefull to flank enemy tanks and are brilliant for fast support
you had ever sit in a heavy tank and fight against another heavy tank ans than a medium came out of nowhere and get ur back? or youve ever attacked/rushed with 5 medium tanks?
overlord:
that is no answer!
i asked WHY wargaming does not show a reaction of the thousands players who complain arty and not what is your plan
do you realy want to believe us that there is no problem existing with arty?
dont forget that you are NOTHING without enough paying players..
----------------------
i dont want that arty is removed from the game
whoever wants to play with arty should be allowed to do so (even it would be a bad joke for only-arty-players ;))
i just want the same than about 20-25% (i think this was the amount in the poll with arty) players from this game:
an option to say "i don't want to play against arty"
light..medium..heavy..td..scout..they are all visible for you and you can fight against them and it depends on how good you know your tank and enemy tanks
but you can do nothing against arty..
that point isn't so hard to understand is it?
the point is easy to understand... the thing is... its so stupid, its hard to believe that you are serious about it...
ReplyDeleteand how about thousands of players complaining that it is all about heavy tanks in this game? im sure there are more of those than anti arty people
that is the real problem... if you want to compete, get t10 heavy... or arty! because only arty and t10 heavy can counter t10 heavy!
AlCapone:
ReplyDeletebut you can do nothing against arty..
that point isn't so hard to understand is it?
Overlord, I have fast and reliable solution for whiners like this one. Add AI controlled fighter-bombers with antitank rockets, all whining about arty will stop and people will start to take notice it's just a vehicle - you can find it, you can kill it, you can outmanouver it. Let them learn what "invisible, overpowered, uncounterable" enemy means, since these adjectives are vastly overused.
Obj. 704 tank BL-10 gun bounce from low tier tanks like Sherman, or T-34 is the biggest issue for me.
ReplyDeleteThe guy saying arty is OP is telling someone else to 'learn to play' ROFL
ReplyDelete"but you can do nothing against arty..
that point isn't so hard to understand is it?"
The point is hard to understand because you're wrong.
I player tier 2-10 regularly - and there is plenty you can do vs arty, plenty.
Lemmme give you a tip. Don't camp.
Lemmme give you another tip, it you see an enemy - arty sees you.
About about 1 more: Use terrain
I can keep going: Move. Yup, you're a tank - flank and move.
To make it clear I understand that less HE damage absorption means that what used to be say 50% dmg reduction for HE is now reduced by some amount (for example lets say its now 40%) which means we now do more damage with non penetrating HE hits.
ReplyDeleteOverlord, care to give us an idea by how much this damage absorption is reduced?
Please update your blog with links to language files. Many players use old files.
ReplyDeleteThank god the horns are gone.
ReplyDelete@ genai
ReplyDelete" if you want to compete, get t10 heavy... or arty! because only arty and t10 heavy can counter t10 heavy!"
You can kill them also quite fast with T8 and T9 TD's and T9 meds.
@ Lord Azaghul
"I can keep going: Move. Yup, you're a tank - flank and move."
I want to see you doing it in Mouse, T28 (US TD) or T95 ;D
@ Antare
HE damaged was nerfed in 7.0 In this third test it is partially unnerfed. I think it is difficult to give exact percents. Damage from nonpenetrating HE depends from targets armor thickness and shell caliber. Very often it is much less than 50 prc. In case of Shermans 105 mm gun it is as I noticed usually about 30 prc of maximum damage.
@ German/ american tanker
If playing SPG is do difficult, then you should stop playing them and get heavy tank. And tbh I would like to see heavt tank with 2500 hp 300 mm armor and 10 shots per minute. Maybe this are T110 stats or French top heavy, cause now there is no such tank ;)
Flanking and moving only do so much when there are 3+ arty in a match.
ReplyDeletei can hit lights and mediums on the move. Its not that hard. Heck I dont even have to HIt them, just getting close is enough.
Use cover people say. so hide behind hard cover all match?
clearly that helps promote gameplay right?
we need limits to amounts in matches and also we NEED tracers back.
VZ
ReplyDeleteare you trying to be funny?
maybe you look funny but the things you say are not funny..
and if do not have to write something usefull in this discussion simly shut up
"whiner" said the "noob" ...
genai:
i repeat..learnt o play
if you stay with a medium tank in front of a heavy tank you have no chance..sure
thats why you should circle him or do anything usefull..but at least you can see and damage him!
azghul:
nothign more to say..
you do not understand that there are other oppinions like yours..
even the things you write are just crap, your own oppinion without trying to understand the opposit site and you gave NO examples..just bla bla bla of YOUR oppinion..
just tell us 3 examples what you can do against arty (and i mean examples who not consist of the idea to drive a scout tank..hope not to get one(or two)shoted by enemys..get behind enemys line and find arty...i mean real exmaples in a normal random battle!)
in addition to this i think its easy for you to say how a t10 american or german tank (even russians but they are faster) drive on open field without gettin hit by arty
slalom? 2meter to the front..1meter back? jump to the left if you see arty shell coming?
if you play a map like himmelsdorf its not a big secret where you can drive without gettin hit (or at least reduce the chance) but on other maps?
and how do you combine the "use terrain" and "dont camp" thing? do you collect the best terrain and drive with it?
the point that enemy arty can see you if you see an enemy tank dont need to be refuted realy eh?
maybe you didnt understand the viewing system..
I think we can all agree that when they said they promised 7.1 would come Q4 2011, they really meant "We'll tell you this to please you" and will be released end January 2012.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, if they are planning on pushing back the T34 premium switch and the T30 again, they truly show that WG does not really care for their fanbase...
Wp: and yet somehow the maus t28 and t95 are almost invincible to the front...and its like they have weak spots on the top, almost like they were designed that way, Strong to the front, weak from above...
ReplyDeleteDo you suggest we nerf the front armour of those tanks/td's so mediums and other heavies have an easier time penetrating them? I'm mean - that's only fair right? Right?
Simplified: the game IS a variant of rock/paper/scissors...you can't expect you're big rock to win every time. Nor should it.

ReplyDeleteAl: I'm willing to bet you have a well below w/l ratio. :P
ReplyDeleteI'd also put money on you rushing out in the open exposing your self to all foe, and yelling FFFFUUUUUUUU arty when you die.
Here I have a great game for you, no arty at all. Its called tankionline. It can be found at tankionline.com
Its a nice little flash game, no arty. You roll around with other random monobuild tanks and shoot each other.
You'll thank me later. Go play it - you'll be far less angry
Hi Overlord!
ReplyDeleteQ: why did you guys remove ventilation from GW-Panther???
It doenst make so much damage as the other t6 artis and the hidden accuracy nerf from 0.6.39 to 0.6.4. was bad enough for it's accuracy ("many" shells landing outside aiming circle or on the edge of it).
So ether increase splash, accuracy of the gun or give us back the ventilation please!!!
Or are you simply afraid that beta veterans will start to wipe the floor with arti noobs ... countering them? That would be the ideal soulution for many arti whining threads and the number of artis to handle for the matchmaking would go down, because the noobs cant just sit 15 min behind a bush and harras the enemy.
I really dont understand you guys
azaghul
ReplyDeletei just checked your stats..
play more with heavy tanks to understand the problem
"Targets Spotted 15 391 Rank 310"
no wonder why you like arty in enemy team if you only play to light it up..
all tanks ar weak from above
so in conclusion you mean if there is no arty in the battle you have no chance against a heavy tank?
in a bit i agree with your rock/paper/scissor thing..but what is against arty except a suicide scout tank?
im still waiting to the point where you write something usefull..
even i still wait for your "plenty examples"
(btw my stats are much better liek yours but thats not the point mr. 45% hit ratio)
LORD AZAGHUL:
write somehting usefull!!
write something what depends on facts ideas or arguments
stop writing just YOUR oppinion withour argumenting..
who ever said arty doesn't make money has obviously never played a hummel or GW-panther cause they can easily make you crap tons of money even on a free account (more so then tanks) after repairs and ammo restocking (there one on my money grinders =)unless of course you go for kills instead of helping out your team where it truly is needed!!
ReplyDeleteAlso to all these arty haters you guys should stop complaining (unless you always get into games with 5+ artillery pieces) cause its relatively easy to make arty miss you no matter what tank you drive....even the big slow maus.....and this is coming from someone who has grinded to the E100, maus, E50, t32 (working on t34 =) and half way up the german TD'ER line =)

ReplyDelete- Fixed bugs with display of special effects on AMD Radeon video cards
Thank u!
i guess i was not the only one with this problem then? since i could not find ppl with similar problems.
@azaghul:
ReplyDeletesearch for "AlCapone" on european server
check my stats..check your stats..compare them..stop thinking "FUUUUUU"
i have played over 100 tanks..most of them are elite..i have more experience than you while havin more than 2500 battles less..
what do you want from me?
stop beeing ignorant and stupid please or shut up..
"Blocked the horn functionality."
ReplyDeleteAnd there was much rejoicing. Now dock six months pay from the simpleton who came up with the idea in the first place.
nevermind, i still have the same gfx problems as before -_-
ReplyDeleteSimple problem with arty is more then 3 in a match! I like arty , I think is there was no arty they would have to have a arty substitute but 4-7 a side is dumb. There is a lot you can do to counter arty 1 is spot for yours :-) & let them kill the tanks that spot YOU for their arty.
ReplyDeleteAnyways m103 for sure in the 7.1 patch right?
too all arty haters out ther e : STOP PLAYING LIKE WOT IS A EGOSHOOTER ANd u will have lots more fun bcause WOT IS NO EGOSHOOTER AND if wg eraeses the artys il stop playing bcause then there is only useless base caping and only 1-3 minute rounds and for first battle u wioll only get like 600 exp with prem had it often enough allready . so there realy only two options in my eyes for u arty haters L2P WITH ARTYS or just stop playing wot and go back to ure noobish egoshooters
ReplyDeleteto the arty haters:
ReplyDeleteArty is there for balance, otherwise the light and medium tanks losses much of there use, so everybody would play heavy. The way you heavys look to arty is the way mediums (I) look to heavys and the way lights look to mediums,... take out the arty and the chain is broken and everybody will fight with an TD or heavy and the game gets boring.
If you still dont get it:
You heavys say you cant cross the open without being shot by arty, well I cannot cross the open in my medium witouth being shot by the heavys who takes a lot of damage from me. And also, if my tracks are shot i die in seconds, you guys still have a chance thanks to heavy armor.

ReplyDelete@ Lord Azaghul
ReplyDeleteSomehow, when there happens battles without artys, this tanks aren't immortal. I can kill all this tanks with T9 meds, T9 and T10 heavys and T8 and T9 TD's. And T28 is easy to kill even with T4 tanks. All these tanks can also be penetrated from front by many other tanks and TD's.
IMO, the only good reason for keeping artys in game is giving light tanks some job. And there should be limit on number of arties in game. Battles with more than 3 strong arties sucks cause you have 2 choices, hide well or suicide. Even in T54 or E50 you can't evade top artys shells for long due to huge splash range.
And yes I play arties, I even had elited GW E. But now i use only T6 artys for credits. They aren't such fun spoilers then T7 and T8.
Overlord
Can you answer on my question about GW Panther ventilation some comments higher?
althoug i do admit there is a problem on some maps if there are more then 4 artys a team, but in the same way i can tell that there is if everybody is a TD for example and you're not. or if everybody is a heavy and you are the only med.
ReplyDeleteoh and a little questioncould u give us a little bit gold like 300 gold on testserver for prem or so . PRETTY PLS
ReplyDelete"Kona said...
ReplyDeleteSimple problem with arty is more then 3 in a match!"
**************
Agreed. Limit it to max 3 (which would mean they can't platoon to 5 when that is released) AND, do not put scouts in high tier (higher than their medium brothers say) battles when there is no arty.
Aww, are you trying to hurt my feelings Al?
ReplyDeleteAnd you've just admitted that I've played more games then you...
Clearly I've learned a few things you haven't, I've played more games and I'm happy!
And I obviously know how to scout...
And I have pretty solid w/l ratio for my mediums and heavies...oh and for my lights...
So...what point where you making again?
Well I don't really see one.
Ok: Overlord...I'll stop now!
OT: I am eagerly awaiting the next patch and my M103 before Christmas - hopefully
WP: I can see placing a limit on the number of arties in game, but IF you do you'd also need to limit the number of heavies.
ReplyDeleteBut I strongly disagree that you have only 2 options in arty heavy games.
The game favors aggression, and light tanks aren't the only one's that can be aggressive.
I don't mind arty heavy games even if I"m in a heavy tank. Most of those games are also pretty quick, and its rare to see a game with more then 4 or 5 arty a side most days. Besides - arty get the crap shoot too of being places in city heavy maps - that's pub battles for you.
Trololol, if i have horn from the patch before i can still use it.
ReplyDeleteI AM EXCLUSIVE!
With all the call-outs and threats, it is a wonder Overlord continues this blog. I do appreciate the heads-up we receive here, and some candid answers, too.
ReplyDeleteTo those who bitched and whined and moaned continuously about horns....
ReplyDeleteI like them. They DO NOT affect game play in any significant way. They allow Wargames to make some additional money, but do not create a pay-to-play scenario.
Imagine if the next thing they come up with is 25% bonus Rammer for 200 gold per tank. Would change the balance to favor pay to play'ers significantly.
do you plan to add an air strike for more reality o tank battles, maybe one in battle the tank leader can call an air strike at specific target or region.
ReplyDeleteI haven't time for testing server, so I'm really looking forward for release this patch :). seems be nice (I'm only little scared about IS4 immortality)
ReplyDeletePetko:
ReplyDeletenot so good idea.
game has enough possibilities how to kill or die, without your airstrike...
why has the armor of the IS-4 been nerfed from 160/160/100 to 140/140/100?

it's called pay2win, not pay2play
and WoT is already a pay2win game from day 1
How possible is the release of the french this year?
ReplyDeleteHi!! I read earlier that KV-5 premium tank will get a major buff. Any more detailos on that pls.

you are right about the grammar. sorry to offend.
It is not currently pay2win, anyone can play and win without paying. To be accurate, the game is currently pay2playfaster, which is quite a generous balance. obviously the free play keeps the matches full, and the people who choose to pay keep the servers online.
@ Leisure_Shoot
ReplyDeletenot offended
no, it's pay2win; ever stumbled upon "gold ammo" or APCRs in random matches?
what gold ammo is doing: if 2 identical tanks meet face2face and one has APCRs, the one using APCRs has an incredible advantage
also "gold ammo" is the "de facto" ammo used in clan wars matches
A lot of bug fixes. It looks like the only major change will be the HE fix? Is this different than the HE nerf we were hearing about? I was under the impression it was a change in the mechanics of how the round detects a vulnerable area, and not a simple damage reduction. (A lot of tanks NEED that damage to compete. Others do not. Some tanks even need HE damage to them globally reduced, like the ridiculous amounts the T95 takes to the face w/o a spall liner [300-400].)
ReplyDeleteHi Overlord. Could you do something with Tiger I? Pathetic damage, frontal armor is one big weakspot (not even mention about side armor), one shot from enemy = one critical hit. I had played Tiger I in beta test and it was quite good tank but now it's just a piece of junk. Sad but true
ReplyDeleteazaghul
ReplyDeleteyou are the perfect exmaple of peaople who are the reason why so many europeans think that americans can only do 2 things: eat and beeing stupid..
you are not able to discuss
every time you tell something new from your oppinion without arguments..reasons or any basic
im still waiting for your "plenty examples"
im still waiting for ANYTHING usefull you write
yo are nothing!
you cant do anything except writing crap!
you are a shame for your country!
if you are not able to discuss and write somethign usefull..PLEASE turn off your pc or at least cut the internet connection
dont you realise that you just writing bullshit without any sense or argument?
it's just a question:
are you stupid?
Overlord, would you say HE is more or less effective in 7.0 than in 6.7 ?
ReplyDeleteI play all of the tank types and arty is there for a good reason. It adds another level to the game. Most of the complaining centers around a heavy tank player angry because he is getting his ass handed to him by an "invisible" arty player. Yes you are correct. If you play this game in a bubble where you do not work as a team you diserve to be crushed by an unseen arty.
ReplyDeleteNews flash!!! Have the players and tanks that work to find the enemy arty to eliminate it with friendly arty or counter arty lights, then your heavies can go slug it out and work as a heavy tank should...taking the fight to the enemy.
I agree that arty should have a hard cap of 3 (tier 7-8) or 4 (lower tier). This gives teams some tactical flexibility along with keeping the arty angle. I play yan E100 and love my heavies. I also play an Obj 212 and love arty. I know the frustration of getting powdered by large arty. It keeps heavies honest and forces teams to work together to develop tactics to take out the dangerous arty.
There are other issues with this game that remove it from the more realistic sims...but it sure is fun for what it is.
Rudefish
@rolling
ReplyDeletenice written but the point you mentioned works only in company or clan battles in my eyes because in a random game there is not a big chance that you have a real team :/
and as i said some times above
if someone would like to play arty..play it
but there are definetly too many players who simply dont want to fight with/against arty so wargaming should implement an option for those to play without it
not a big thing but it would help thousands of players to have more fun and that is what the game should be made for..
We're not going to see 7.1 this year, mark my words. Suppose we get 7.0 around December 10th, that leaves roughly two weeks to get 7.1 tested and released before Christmas. Highly unlikely.
ReplyDeleteAlso: thanks for removing horns and the alarm for capturing the enemy base. The second one was particularly pointless; good riddance, I say!
@loge
ReplyDeleteRussian Christmas comes two weeks later than in other countries
it still can have 0.7.1 in 2011, but like you, I don't wanna bet on it :)
Yes, I play arty. Yes, I believe it completely ruins the game very often.
ReplyDeleteYes, I actually intend to stop paying Wargaming money until they fix it. I have my Type-59 I can grind credits on that.
why is the server restarting ?pls no reset i finally want to test the t30 and t92 but every time i nearly have it there is a reset -.-
ReplyDeletelol, when OL says the server is ON, its off.
ReplyDeleteYesterday when he said it was OFF, it was ON...
Trolololol
it wa on but since 10 minutes its down bcause of restarting the game server
ReplyDelete@ Rolling Stop
ReplyDeleteTBH I don't hate arty when I am in heavy. Usually I can survive a few hits. I hate arty when I play medium (huge splashes detracks me even when shots are greatly missed and detracked med is usually dead one, oneshooting is more possible due to weaker armor nad lower HP). I also hate arty when I play TD (oneshooting is also quite easy and detracking much more painful then in medium).
And last but not least, the more artys in battle, the more people camp and hide. I've seen it so many times...

ReplyDeleteQ: Overlord, do you still believe it will be possible to update to 7.1 before 2012 considering the amount of time you guys will need to test it like you are doing with 7.0 ?
ReplyDelete- Removed the alarm sound for enemy base capture. Reduced the volume of alarm sound for own base capture
ReplyDeleteDoes "enemy base capture" mean capture of the enemy base, or the enemy capturing a (friendly) base?
"- Removed the alarm sound for enemy base capture. Reduced the volume of alarm sound for own base capture
ReplyDeleteDoes "enemy base capture" mean capture of the enemy base, or the enemy capturing a (friendly) base?"
It's rather clear. "Enemy base capture" means capturing enemy base by your teammates, and "own base capture" relates to capturing your base by enemies...
Overlord: you mentioned the SU-85I is not going to be purchasable after the release of 7.0. Is that still the case? If so, when/how will we be able to get it?
ReplyDeleteoverlord the jagdtiger gonna be fixed some day? becouse all of you claim about historical armors and things like that and jagdtiger didnt have the historical armor, check this
ReplyDeletehttp://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/67126-jagdtiger-needs-looking-at/
It's rather clear. "Enemy base capture" means capturing enemy base by your teammates, and "own base capture" relates to capturing your base by enemies...
ReplyDeleteI'll restate. It isn't clear if the adjective "enemy" modifies the word "base" (the capture of the enemy base) or the phrase "base capture." (a capturing of a base by the enemy).
Overlord, have you nerfed the IS-4 & the IS-7? The reason I'm asking this is becouse I see some differences between the public test server & the tankopedia armor values for the both.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't only applying to the Russians, the Germans have had their Tiger I buffed a bit from 100/80/80 hull armor to 100/82/82.
Not to mention the StuG3 got the most deserved buff it could ever get, from 50/30/30 hull armor to 80/30/30.
All of this is true, yes?
How come I can't sell any of my tanks?
ReplyDeleteThis happened on the 2nd test also
Why the hell did you remove the base capture sounds/make em silent. Those were awesome.
ReplyDelete:(
Just one question Overlord
ReplyDeleteWill there be any changes/adjustments to the Matchmaker from the 6.7 version?
God dammit man it's still crashing on opening personel files when trying to retrain.....
ReplyDeleteOverlord, KV-220 needs to get matchmaking fixed. Going up against tier 9's with a gun that does 86 pen on average is... painful...
ReplyDeleteOverlord; a suggestion: is there any way for our garage to display where our various modules are? For instance, I have several sets of binoculars, several camo nets, several tool boxes, etc, but I have many tanks, and when I get ready to select a tank and enter a battle, I have to browse my way through all the various tanks in order to find the modules I want to equip. If the icons for the various tanks would also display an indicator for which modules were on that tank, it would be very helpful.
ReplyDeleteThanks
I think your next poll should be "Are you happy with what you've heard about the M103 and T110?"
ReplyDeleteWith the huge firestorms on the board about it, I'd wager it would be helpful feedback for the developers.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to ask if, given the nerf of 75mm/konisch gun on vk3601 there will be any compensation for those who bought a lot of gold ammo. This ain't going to be as much fun playing this tank as it used to be, hence the question.
Cheers
My ->guess<-- about the retail tanks:
ReplyDeleteThere was a boxed version planned by wargaming and this needs some ahead planning. The retail tanks sitting in the full techtrees for quite a while weren't in the game early enough to have them in the first box. That's why people can buy the ~10€ box with the Minimaus and once we have the retail tanks available there will be another box version which will cost more.
@strv use it on the tiger its the same shell
ReplyDelete@DylowStafford why dont you just buy new modules everyone of my 13 tanks has its own set since switching is a big pain
ReplyDelete@Loge Matchmaking of KV-220 on a live 0.6.7 server is fine- 50% of the time it is one of the top tanks, 30% of the time it sees level 6 tanks, and in 20% games it can see 1-2 of those level 7 tanks. And its average armor penetration is a little bit higher, it is 93 mm on average.
ReplyDelete@ potyec
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, because you can't live without this patch... LOL IMHO
And if we are talking about professional companies I have short story for you. Some not so small US company, called Boeing (maybe you heard about them or even used some products ;) ) has new product called Boeing Dreamliner. It was planned that Dreamliner will enter service in airlines on May 2008. But they had some problems. They were serious enough to delay first model entrance by more than 3 years. First Dreamliner finally entered service just 5 or 6 weeks ago. And many airlines from all the world are waiting for hundreds of planes they ordered in last years.
So as you see WG is as unprofessional as Boeing ;)
Serves Boeing right for deciding to make their next aircraft out of composites when they didn't have the infrastructure to do it. They should have gradually ramped up the composites instead of going "All composite aircraft!" all of the sudden.
ReplyDeleteI rather have them delay a patch than release it while it's packed with bugs.
ReplyDeleteAnd if they tell you it will be released when it's ready, people would still complain.
Delaying release dates is all in the game for the game market, suck it up or stop playing games altogether, because developers will only release their games and updates when THEY think they are ready, not when the community thinks it should be ready.
Q: Just one question Overlord
ReplyDeleteWill there be any changes/adjustments to the Matchmaker from the 6.7 version?
A: No specific changes/adjustments to match-making are planned for 7.0.
Q: Overlord; a suggestion: is there any way for our garage to display where our various modules are? For instance, I have several sets of binoculars, several camo nets, several tool boxes, etc, but I have many tanks, and when I get ready to select a tank and enter a battle, I have to browse my way through all the various tanks in order to find the modules I want to equip.

ReplyDeleteA: Ammo will be sold at buying price. You won't lose anything.
Q: God dammit man it's still crashing on opening personel files when trying to retrain.....
ReplyDeleteA: It's a bug, it will be fixed in the release version.
Suggestion:
ReplyDeleteYou should make a "kid's battle" like random battle, only difference, there will be no SPGs. I've never heard experienced players whining about SPGs. (Only limit their numbers per side in random battles.)
And yes, I'm offending arty-haters, go play FPS games! SPGs don't ruin the game, but you do!
Sorry for being off-topic, but arty-haters make me laugh!
Keep up the good work, and don't listen to whiners!
Overlord, can you give specifics on these two points?:
ReplyDelete- Fixed bugs of turret camouflage in M6A2E1.
- Fixed IS-4 hitbox
"- Removed the alarm sound for enemy base capture. Reduced the volume of alarm sound for own base capture"
ReplyDeleteYou're kidding, you've actually removed and dumbed down the single best feature of the new patch?
shireknight, not best, but i'm agree with you.. good feature was removed. Best in 0.7.0 is new minimap, IMHO. WG introducing many interesting and fun features in WoT, but youg crying nerfers ruins most of it.. just sad.
ReplyDeletemy bad english..
Овер, Вы всё делаете правильно, а малолетки это губят на корню. В итоге получается игра для них а не для дядек посерьёзней, которые готовы за это платить. Делайте выводы.
So when is 7.0 coming out?
ReplyDeleteBetter be in the next couple days if we are to have any hope that 7.1 will come out by the end of the year. Overlord, I know that you have said the two patches are unrelated and being worked on separately, but there still needs to be a public test for 7.1. That needs to start within the next week in order to facilitate a pre-2012 release.
And here I was really hoping to be grinding the French tank tree over my Christmas vacation. Seems highly unlikely that we will see 7.1 this year. Boo hoo hoo.
I don't get one thing. I just don't. What are all those artillery haters even doing here? Why are they playing this game? There has been artillery since day one, and you come here and play the game and demand (even though you're in a minority by far) that they remove artillery? Or give you some special treatment so that you don't have to play with artillery? Get real.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with artillery in this game. Only with people.

ReplyDeleteOverlord Said"The reason for this was the overall reduced amount of damage under 120mm HE shells do in v.7.x series."
ReplyDeleteSo the US/GER both take a Broad base nerf to the DERPS, where as the RU DERP generally 122 or bigger are left alone?
Thank you for sharing this information. The information was very help and saved a lot of my time.

I am wondering if there is a way to not play the "forced" test server.
ReplyDeleteEver since update to test for US, launcher loads and says up to date but game will not start. I assume this is do to mods I am running.
I really don't want to miss out on Christmas Special of 5x's experience. But it seems as Wargamming is not giving me any choice.
Overlord,
ReplyDeleteWhy do we have aiming reticles with artillery if our shots can land outside of it? It seems like programming intended to frustrate, or if not, simply confuse players. Are you going to be making the reticles encompass all possibilities of the shot, and simply make them wider, or are you going to leave them as is?
