World of Tanks.

[Costa 1st MRB]

Don't forget about the American tree that will probably be out after launch. The dev's put an estimate at American's being released around September this year.

Just heard that the soft wipe is going to be sometime next week. So get ready to start all over boys.

[Costa 1st MRB]

New patch notes came up some of the noticeable are new tanks.

Added new German TD 9th level - JagdTiger (motherfucking fuck yeah)

Ability to change Crewmen's names and portrait.

Changed gold price of crewmen training to 200 and makes it so they are trained up to 100%

Reworked tracers for HE shells.

And a whole bunch of stuff regarding expendables that we don't have just yet.

When tanks are destroyed in battle the chassis at the lower left will show up as destroyed rather than showing all modules as damaged.

EDIT: Never mind, looks like the devs feel that the game is not quite up to standards and plan on doing a softwipe with the new patch which will be out soon.

Holy buttfuck it went from us getting a patch in two weeks (said just over two weeks ago) to another ETA. They also might change what we're entailed to for the soft wipe as they mentioned the details being released later. We might also not get patched for another few updates if they feel unsatisfactory with the latest patch.

last updated August 19, 2010

We have some objective reasons for delay in updating World of Tanks EU beta. The most essential of them are:

1) the launch of the game in the countries of the former USSR

2) poor and unsatisfactory performance of beta 0.5.3 (i.e., current version)

For these reasons the significant part of our team is currently busy fixing 2). We just can’t afford to release unfinished update for our international players.

Our plans for EU beta test remain the same. To be more precise, we are going to update the current 0.4.5 version, when we are satisfied with the quality and stability of the next update.

The current version will be patched up to 0.5.3.x version with some major performance improvements. The main advantage here is that the next update will deliver major changes that affect all aspects of the game in one piece and be much more stable and playable than the current one. The update will contain the consecutive general updates 0.5 , 0.5.1 , 0.5.2 and 0.5.3 .

ETA of the update will be added later.

Updating our game servers to 0.5.3.x version will require “soft” reset/wipe user accounts. The details of that reset will be announced before the patch. Refrain from rumouring.

Gotta look on the bright side, at least when we do get a update it will add in a whole ton of shit. I mean we're getting expendables which so far looks to be cheap stuff (around 5000 credits) that boosts something on your tanks. So far I've seen mention to two different kinds of oil (improve mobility/top speed maybe?) and they have premium expendables which do god knows what. And to top it off we get two new maps, platoon battles, a JagdTiger, and improvements to the way the game looks. They're also changing it so HE shells can no longer bounce off and fixed Tip99.

Ok the Russians are getting another patch really soon and the developers have put their foot down saying that if this goes well we'll finally get a fucking update. Consumables and hookers for everyone!

Just get ready to download an ungodly amount of updates, we're backed up like 4-5 patches now so probably look at 400-500MB of shit.

0.5.4 is coming supposedly in a few hours. If everything is fine, EU beta will be updated to this version.

This was right from a dev so hopefully they won't get high and wander off or anything.

Here's the developer's response to everything so far.

It also looks like they'll be getting a server on the East Coast and expanding the current servers to help with lag issues.

Also It looks like I broke NDA by posting updates and shit in this thread, but don't tell nobodies!

I'm so close to getting my Tiger I hope the soft wipe doesn't come right now. lol

Me to, only need 200000-300000 credits.

[GMoney BAR]

yeah I should have it within the week.

[Costa 1st MRB]

If you're paranoid about loosing your credits, buy a whole bunch of tanks, the soft wipe notes said you'd get a full refund from your tanks.

Anyways they just released some new patch notes again.

Adjusted the prices of various Tank Destroyers. (StuGIII, JagdPzIV, JagdTiger, SU-76, SU-85B.)

Added in a huge fucking gun to JagdTiger, 12.8cm.

Maximum speed for Ferdinand boosted to 30km/h.

Fixed and tweaked the balance of SPG's in battle to remove games where the teams would have no SPG's or too many SPG's.

Waiting time for battles is increased to help with the balancing system.

They also said something about adding "weight" to tanks that are in a platoon. Sounds like it could make the balancing system consider platoons as more dangerous than a random grouping.

And there was something in there that changed the visibilities of tank destroyers so when they fire they are easier to spot.

Oh and the expendables are pretty cool.

For like 3000 credits you can get a repair kit that speeds up repairs, a fire extinguisher, or some motor oil to enhance engine performance. All of which only works for one battle.

Dumb question here but were do wew download this thing

[Dawson 1st MRB]

I wonder if the american tanks are just going to be a few light tanks, the pershing, and ~40 variants on the Sherman.

[Watkis]

The servers are down until the 1st of sept. becuase they are adding north american servers i belive

[Mamora BAR]

i sadly uninstalled cause i wanna wait for full release. What sucks is that once the full game goes live i lose everything . Like no compensation or nothing. So im patiently waiting for full release hehe.

[Bullock]

cant wait till the servers are back up

[Mamora BAR]

any information on what their gonna give to beta testers whne the full version is released? and whens the full version coming? : P

[Costa 1st MRB]

From what I've heard it'll be a camo pattern you can put on your tanks and maybe some gold depending on how long you've been testing.

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

its up

[Costa 1st MRB]

Did anyone else get gold for compensation? I'm sitting on 5,600 and about to have a aneurysm.

[blue turtle ßÄЯ]

I cant connect to network

[blue turtle ßÄЯ]

GO to webpage and download patch. I got my tiger!

[Costa 1st MRB]

Here is the patch, you can't play on the US server without it.

Also the gold tanks rock, the French one you can take into recruit battles might as well be a fucking Maus for that tier. Everything bounces off it or does little damage while you can penetrate anything with an accurate as all fuck gun. Even the French heavy tank is nice for standard battles with it's sloped armor. And the M3 is fun just because everyone has to shoot at you no matter what.
