Yep. Thanks  Ah, that explains your comments about camping. Have you played on the US server at all? |

No. I imagine the culture is different there, which could explain why we are seeing different experiences.
I'm almost temped to start on the NA server (if its even possible) because I am quite a bit better now than when I started on the EU server and it took a while to find that the french tanks seem to suit me better, so I'm curious how my record would be.

I bet you'd do well. From what I understand, the play is a bit more aggressive just not as aggressive as the RU server. |

This is coming out for the 360? I keep getting messages telling me to join the beta. Of course, I don't want to be a tank. I'm waiting for World of Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesses.

It used to be just that. Sadly, they removed the T-50-2 last patch.  |

What the fuck is it with Sacred Valley? I would wager that at least a quarter of my matches since I started playing again were there. Have seen Pearl River twice, and the new Russian-named one once.

After all my chat abuse I have been banned for a week. I almost certain I didn't threaten anyone, so I am dying to hear the rationale. Ticket filed.

Wow. It is a huge handicap not being able to ping the map to alert the cretinous general populace to danger on the map. I would wager a chat ban is wrth nearly 1 full percentage in win rate. Or maybe I am a narcissistic fuckstick. Probably both.

I'm surprised I've never been banned. I can get pretty dickish when people are being fuck stupid, though I've never threatened physical violence. Not that I didn't want to.  |

The claim is that I used derogatory language now. The threat to violence was apparently this- WayAbvPar 2013-08-17 17:52:13
(2013-08-17 10:52:13) 0 now you are going to get raped and you deserve it By which I of course meant that the 5 tanks that swarmed me while this jagoff was hiding 25 meters from base were now on the way to do the same to him. Had he supported my position we could have held it for quite awhile. I don't care so much about the ban as much as the accusation of threatening real life violence. That is a far more serious issue than calling someone a cunt  |

When does the 'day' start now? It used to be at 5PM PST. Is it midnight local time now or something? All my doubles are back and I last played like 12 hours ago.

Around 7:30am EST. I've started a match around that time with my 2X used from the day before and when the match is over it's refreshed. |

Yeah it was some logic about having it refresh when patch downtime typically is so you don't miss-out, blah blah blah. Net effect of nothing other than being able to catch-up on your 2x in the morning on weekends instead of having to do it at night. |

Comment on WOT for Xbox Beta on another form Yeah. Its horrible!
Mini map is crap, click thumbsticks to change zoom level, gun flash in sniper mode, tank takes up half the screen when your driving, cant individually upgrade modules (you buy upgrade packages with xp). It feels like its been dumbed down...aimed at kids, almost!! Its little more than cod for tanks now. It is only beta, so ill give the benefit of doubt til final release!
maybe they should set it to use Kinect... *edit* been playing Artillery a bit as my ping is generally atrocious, but it dosent seem to affect arty that much. Actually been enjoying it quite a bit. Bought a Hummel as I unlocked it ages ago, and dicking around with the tier 4 french arty. |

I have played a few games as arty after my initial test to see how badly they have been nerfed. Load times and aim times are atrocious, but the actual accuracy isn't really that much different. Had a couple of 4 kill games in my M40/43 Had an amazing and wondrous experience last night. Playing on Mountain Pass from the south. Started off at the corner below the ice road in my T34, but then had to lumber back around past our flag to defend a breakthrough at the bridge. Then the ice road defense fell, so I went back to the flag and traded shots with 4 tanks on our cap before I died. Gave our push enough time to get on the cap and win. Then had our arty actually thank me and tell the rest of the team that I won the game for us. I was shocked that A) someone actually noticed, and B) was gracious enough to say something. And of course I am chat-banned so I couldn't respond  For the 30 kill daily mission- that is 30 kills in one vehicle, yes? Was tired last night, and stopped playing about 11:30PM. Looked at my daily stats and saw I was really close to 30 kills in Tier 4+ vehicles, so I went back in the game to try to get the bonus. 5 games in a row without a kill (of course), and then had a 5 kill game in my IS and a pair of 3 kill games in my T-58. Nothing. Then I re-read the requirements and got the sinking feeling that it was 30 in one tank.  |

Should take you 15-20 matches. |

I sometimes miss it if I'm playing my T69. I spew so many gold rounds that a 3k damage win still costs me 40k credits. |

It's 30 kills while you're in a tier IV or higher. so grab a tier 4 tank that gets good matchmaking and club those seals! |

Better yet, get in a tier 8-10 and do the 30 kill and 3k damage mission at the same time. The 3x crew xp is awesome! |

And once again I'm reminded how much I suck.
If I get 10 kills across 20 games I'm happy. I rarely end games alive or with kills. Doesn't help I don't drive LOLALPHASTRIKE vehicles or the ones I do, like the T34, have shit matchmaking 80% of the time and slow reload times.
