World of Tanks Beta

Is both the launch server for the game and the website + forums currently down for anyone else? I can't get on anything for a few hours now. :(
 
Just heard about this a few weeks ago and i'm loving it so far.

I'm loving my little panzer II, took out 6 tanks with the other day with 6v1 at the end of the game. They must have thought it was in the bag.
 
Also with the mention of lag, i think its warping thats the main issue and thats getting fixed with a new engine in the new patch which should be out any day.
 
Yeah, ignoring the warping tanks, the only issues I've had are server issues that affect all the players in the room. Things like rubber banding as the server hiccups, things like that. Though recently I've had lots of situations where I've been driving along, only to suddenly have the game just go back to the depot with my tank there and not in battle, and this can happen any time during a game I'd guess it happens around once every couple of hours, no idea what causes it but Its likely a server issue. Somewhat annoying, esecially when I was doing super well before it happens.

Oh wel... currently trying to adjust to using the T34-85. Just beause it has T34 in the name, it can't be driven like one :(
Also, the KV is a big, useless brick made of ugh. The upgraded turret has +100 hp for the tank, but it turns at the same speed as the tank. If you try to turn the turret one way, and turn the tank the other, they cancel each other out! Did I mention its slow?
 
Yeah ive had the same issue with the garage, i think i read in their forums that its getting sorted though.

KV's are a pain i find. I know there slow as hell but my shells just bounce off the thing. I need to try using some HE and shooting the tracks. I read thats what the smaller tanks should do if you cant get through their armour.
 
Projected timeline at this moment:

- October 18/19: Patch 0.5.5
- Early November: Patch 0.6.X/0.7

- 2 new maps: Komarin and Cliff.
- Adjusted speed of burning of all tanks during the fire. Now the tank will burn at about 5% of durability per second.
- Fixed collision-model of tank "Tiger I". Significantly decreased size of turret rotation mechanism.
- Balance and vehicle tweaks:
• StuG III, VK1602, SU-76 - decreased tracks repair time.
• StuG III - added rammer.
• Grille price increased from 140400 to 147100 credits.
• BT-7 - increased traverse speed for both suspensions by 4 deg/sec. 7% accuracy increase for the 2nd suspension added.
• Fixed truck rotation on SU-14.
• SU-26 – weakened platform rotation mechanism.
• PzIV – Hummel upgrade cost increased from 34220 to 35400 experience.
• KV - S-51 upgrade cost decreased from 144730 to 127320 experience.

Seems the patch is due today and yesterday there was just some miantenance. Or at least thats what the official forums seem to be saying.
 
Yup, by the looks of this, it will just be a 'minor' patch today; 2 news maps and a bunch of small tweaks, still nice though. Then a bigger patch coming in November that adds the American tree and more.
 
Looks like they decided the patch needs more testing. Official release date is today, but the official topic on it has been locked to stop people complaining, so I'm guessing its a couple more days away :(
 
I do find it funny that were beta testing a game which is already out in Russia, and the Russians are at least 2 patches + some in front.

They have the American tanks and such already lol.

Love the game though. :)
 
U know russian players are moaning about how overpowered german tanks are go figure...

damn server is down again same time as last night/morning.


"They have the American tanks and such already lol."


No they do not have american tanks yet, russians are atm one patch ahead of us.

Thing is, the Russian patches often ended up making a mess of the game, requiring several more small patches to fix. The English servers benefit from this as we get far more stable patches. Its probably easier (though makes less sense) to see the Russian servers as the test servers :p
