HI all,

I have downloaded the new 8.3 patch and tried to install, but got this msg: PATCH IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO EXISTING VERSION.

I stalled the full version a few nights ago. Am I doing something wrong?


Joe   :Smile_confused:

That would be my first guess, yes.

I call that bs. Currently i bet china got more different tanks than italian or brazillian. Why dont we know. BECAUSE CHINA HIDES THEM from ppl.

but you know, its hard.

Since you didn't join before Christmas of 2011, I'll give you the BOTD

But tank trees NEVER start out full, they get a heavy and medium end tier and then the trees are slowly expanded from there.

Which is why British TDs should be coming in 8.4, British SPGs coming later this year, and Chinese TDs maybe by this upcoming winter

ok tks good to know

Victory!
Battle: Serene Coast Friday, January 18, 2013 4:11:57 AM
Vehicle: SU-26
Experience received: 450 (x2 for the first victory each day)
Credits received: 7,129
u have again taken a good tank and turned it into a piece of shart, used to at least get 2 kills a match - now i am lucky if i get 2 direct hits out of 22

If it isnt broken - dont try to fix it

Who gets you devs to make such moronic decisions that you have to nerf a fucking tier 3 arty - OMFG !!!

You keep giving more and more reasons to start playing this game less and have now decided the only monies you will be getting from me now - is just to keep my prem acct.

Maybe it goes this way, force it, if it breaks it needed fixing anyway - idiots !!

Very sad.

WG did absolutely NOTHING to fix the in-game guns sounds, even after all the complaints when 8.2 was released.

Very very disappointing.

Hope WG doesn't become like so many companies when they get so large that they stop listening to their users/customers.


They do not need to listen they have their Data, which is all WoT seems to care about. Not their customers.

Seems like it's getting that way.

At least I figured out how to get rid of that ANNOYING IRRITATING guy coughing in the garage (if that's what it is, sounds like it to me anyway), and the moronic choir singing the death chant when you lose a battle  :Smile_teethhappy:

I've downloaded FMOD system which looks like what WG uses to make their audio files.  If they won't fix it, I can make my own.

Nice stealth nerf to arty splashes not mentioned in patch notes.

They have been doing that since 8.1. After the 8.2 shots sounded like farts and had nearly the same effect. I finally sold my M7 priest after several battles in which my over 95% trained crew never put a shot within the scope circle; when I was lucky enough to put a shot next to the tracks of an enemy it never did any splash damage at all. Worst humilliation was at the very last battle when my team lost and both allys and foes were joking about if I was really shooting at all. :Smile-hiding:

The chinese tanks are totally unbalanced! I have been put to shame by the tier 1, one shot to the front of my Luchs and I was at full health! I know it was the chinese tier one cause it was one on one, me vs him. Please fix this!

I quite like the choir. Compensation for the loss :)

I've been experiencing problems along with this update, when using my tanks, (but mostly the M3 Lee), i get stuck at the loading screen pre-battle, i hear the ticking of the timer but my screen is stuck, (not frozen because i can see people leaving).  At the end of that match it goes back to my garage.  (this happens about every 2nd match.)  Help Please!

Yet again another game that takes the path of enstead of improving the game matching and limit the arty to a set number of tanks for the higher tier battles, they go with the cry babies and just nerf em saying 'we have been collecting 'data'.
I have 3 arty and 10 other tanks and I would much rather wait a little longer to get in a match with the arty then be 1 shot by every tank, everyone hates trying to protect arty and half the maps are small so you are spotted right away.
Anyway I have decided not to sell all my arty like a lot of people, but I will not be spending any more money on this game!
