Bots
It takes 25 bot reports per day (within 24 hours) to make support staff check someone for botting. The response time of a mod however can be up to a week. Daily, WG RU recieves 17500 bot reports via “player is a bot” report function within the game, less than 3 percent of those however are confirmed as real bots and resetted and banned
The rest are interesting tidbits as well:
– the next minicampaign reward will likely be the Grosstraktor
– World of Tanks Xbox will apparently be selling a Super Pershing “Freedom bundle” with a very special skin for the Super Pershing (American flag, basically a pretty wild scheme), but the kicker is, the crew will be 100 percent trained with a 100 percent Brothers in Arms perk, tank with full equipment (rammer, stabilizer, gun laying drive?) and 20 cans of soda – once per account, the cost is apparently set at cca 50 USD – it’s possible that this was actually Microsoft’s idea, but this is not confirmed.
– icy terrain might be reworked a bit, still in primary testing phase, the idea is to somewhat reduce the handling and braking force, not like the War Thunder “skating”
– speaking of War Thunder, when Ground Forces were released, Storm and one other WG Minsk producer went to check it out, they noted the “sliding” of the tanks as not good (“tanks looks like are skidding on ice all the time”) and it is difficult to keep them going in one direction, but they did like the large maps
– developers want to make a new jungle map based on South America, but they don’t want “another Dragon Ridge”, still in concept phase now
– apparently, talking about Ukraine is banned at WG. There is a clan openly officially supporting the Ukraine separatists on RU server, WG doesn’t know what to do with them, they will apparently be banned if they start “politics” in the game
– apparently, currently it’s vacation time in Minsk, the development of WoWs was sped up a bit by transferring someone to the team
– it is considered to implement “fun modes” (Karl, football) into WoT permanently or as purchasable content
