Are you (Will you ever be) working at NA->EU account transfer?

We are not working on an account transfer service at this time.

Will it be possible in the future then? Maybe even cross-server playing?

[eagle2807]

I dont have a question but I did have an idea I wanted to share with Wargaming.net.  Would it be difficult to add a second customizable space (like the clan emblems) to the tank skins for personalized messages? Something reminiscent to what real tankers did with their tanks writing such things as "Krout Killer","Berlin or Bust" and "Kilroy was here" on the sides of their tanks.  I always thought that would be a cool idea/option to immerse players in the game and make the tank their driving their own.

Yes, the goal is to allow cross-server play.

Highly uninformative as usual.

Most of the questions are: 'Will you ever do this crazy thing no one cares about?' 'No.'

Why not info about the philosophy or stats of the upcoming IS4/IS8/ST1? Will the IS4 get its 160mm lower side armor back? How do the devs envision its role in clan wars?
Or give us a date when you are going to implement multi-gun tanks as promised so long ago.
Or progress on new game modes.
Or a sneak preview of British tanks? That would be awesome.


Honestly I didn't learn anything new from these answers. Certainly nothing that gets me excited about the future of the game.
Some of the best questions (like the one about the fate of the T-50-2, I think a lot of people myself included want to know what's going to happen to it so we can decide whether to get it or not) were chosen but the answer was simply 'we do not know at this time'. Why even post that non-answer?

We didn't provide statistical information because the public test has not started yet. If you remember the 7.2 public test, we changed the statistics of the M103, T110E5 and new tank destroyers quite a few times.

Excellent.  The horns are a good idea, a good way to quickly signal those next to you, that a lot of whiners complained about for no good reason.

Whiners gotta whine

Was wondering that one myself.

The only thing that I can think of is some sort of backroom deal with the Chinese Govt to allow Wargamming.net to operate in counrty.

Otherwise from a business standpoint, well, its just

I'm pretty sure there are other reasons WG have for not planning to have the other 3 Chinese tanks in the RU/EU/NA server, namely :

- The Gold Type 59 is basically going to be a troll and grief bait if it were introduced. Look at my post in the first page to see what the tank looks like. It is literally a ridiculous-looking gold-painted Type 59 with even better credit earning, but is priced at around ~$600 a piece. I heard that even in the Chinese servers, they got a ton of hate and got TK'd all the time by their own teammates.

- Most people would probably not want to see WZ-111 introduced either. Remember all the rage against pre-nerf Type 59 when it was first introduced? Well, Type 59 is actually about on par with the other tier 8 mediums. WZ-111 on the other hand, is a flat-out better version of IS-3 that is also a tier 8 premium tank. If players raged so violently against Type 59s which isn't better than other tier 8 mediums, what will happen if WG were to introduce a tier 8 premium that is flat-out better than other tier 8 heavies?

- Type 62 though, it's a bit upsetting to not see this introduced in a foreseeable future. With proper balancing, this can be made more balanced for use in RU/EU/NA server. But WG probably is still having traumatic experience from the Type 59 fiasco, having to remove one of their biggest cash cows forever (Type 59 was bought more than any other premiums when it was still available in the store).

[Atillius]

Potential removal of the T-50-2?  I can't understand why that idea would be floated.

[Khelen]

So the KV-4 will have a better gun than the KV-5.
The KV-5 has 2 R2D2...Big weakness. Which seems to have a magnet on it so even sniping across the map, it gets hit. KV-5's armour's a joke with that.

The KV-4 will have similar armour and a better gun that the KV-5.....KV-4 sounds OP, while the KV-5 is underpowered.

Wargaming, I think you clearly know that the KV-5 (with a tier 5's gun <KV>) and 2 R2D2's,,  is the worst premium and and the worst tier 8 in the game! Evein it's turret is as pennable as the R2D2's

Sure, but no one is demanding FINALIZED data. We just want interesting info. I'm not saying it's even practical to release everything we want to know, because people will whine prematurely. But we need SOMETHING to look forward to. Estimated dates, predictions, current alpha stats... something concrete. New camo variations don't count.

For instance if you told me something like 'there will be a tier 10 british heavy tank with no less than 170mm frontal sloped armor released before august' then I would find that to be interesting. As it is I have no idea whether or not to look forward to the British tanks because I have no idea if they will be competitive.

Yeah something been bugging me, what the hell is the "Ring?" Is it the one that rules them all or something.. lol

No pun intended..

Will you return old 90 points TC?

No, we won’t. We decided to remove them to avoid spreading our players between two similar modes of high-level battles.

This is totally absurd. What 2 similar game modes could you possibly be speaking of? If you mention absolutes then you are obviously paying no attention to what happens on the NA server. Absolutes are rarely played and are almost exclusively prearranged events among clans for something to do. The 90point companies should completely replace this stupid and unused feature that should have never been put into the game. If I want to run 15v15 top tiers I can play clan wars. I speak for no small number of your most active players when I say this is increasingly frustrating to us.

I truly enjoy the game but I am shocked you can make this statement. Buck up admit that competing game mode you speak of is an utter and abject FAILURE and give me back my single most favorite game mode. I beg my fellow TCer's to not +1 me but post in force to drive home I am not some fringe player on this subject. I cannot overstate my disappointment here as everyone was sure you would see the error in your ways and correct your current course on this matter. I dare you to investigate statistics comparing the popularity of the 2 and reference the WOT classic seasons huge popularity. I will also point out the "Classic season" is not a competitor to 90TC's as it happens 1 day a week for 1 game only.

[KareemCheez]

I'm completely horrified that you are NOT bringing back the 90 Point TC game.  What better place to earn a few credits, and yet practice as a clan for Tank Companies?  Why would you obliterate the game fan favorite tank company mode?  It is utterly ridiculous.

It was a staple of regular clan wars practice, and for allowing groups of skilled players to meld together and play other skilled players.  Not everyone wants to be in a clan and compete for clan wars, while this outlet allowed them to do so.

I'm disgusted with your decision to keep the plug pulled on this extremely popular game mode.

[minime262]

Sorry Cheez, -1'd you, you may never recover .

That's a great idea, but I can see how it would be difficult to implement.

I would love that too, however I think WG is a bit worried on the potential abuse that players will use that feature for, and rightly so. Remember, this is still internet, and when you give people a blank slate to write (or draw) on, quite a lot of players won't waste that chance to draw stuff or write texts that can drag WG into legal issues, be it profanities, nsfw stuff, political messages, racist remarks, advertisements, and tons others.
