We're off to a fantastic start, then! There will be a handful of newbies within our ranks as we go along, but thankfully we don't have to get them to tier 10s yet. We'll see about kicking off some formal skirmishes once we can get 6-7 players on at once. As well as some unified communications (it's like we're some sort of high-class clique within the clan lol)!
When do y'all normally play? I've been looking for a new multiplayer game I can play with the Borg. WoT looks fairly interesting.
Alrighty, guys! The pillow fort is going to be assembling this weekend to try and get some skirmishes going. So who is going to be available and at what times?
I should be avaible on the evening (GMT+1). I have floorball matches on both saturday and sunday but that's middle of the day
Yurp - I too am a GMT'er (GMT+2) and will be sort-of-available depending on diaper duty cycles. EDIT: Please note, I do not have meta-compliant tanks available - and I'm not gonna bother buying back the KV-1S as it is about to be beaten senseless with the nerf bat.
This past Friday evening (or morning for the GMT gents), our motley crew of Americans* ran some skirmishes. Despite being down a man (we had 6 where most of our adversaries brought teams of 7), we managed to put up a good showing, winning about as many as we lost. We're off to a good start so far! We'll try and see if we can get some actual organization going. After all, we gotta get the 'Borg in on the action as well! *there was also the crazy Finn who woke up at 5 am GMT+2 to join us
CALL TO ARMS! The NA division is going to try and get some skirmishes going at 9 pm CST (3 am GMT+1 and 4 am GMT+2) if you guys want to get involved. Not much for actual EU times at the moment, as far as I know. However, supposedly patch 9.3 is going to introduce a feature allowing us to have non-clan members fill out holes in our skirmish detachments. Hope to see y'all on the battlefield!
Premium Vehicles are getting a boost in a micro-patch September 12 All Premium / gift vehicles will gain new features. These features will also affect vehicles rewarded in special events like Clan Wars campaigns. These features are: An additional 50% bonus Crew experience. This will boost their training rate and reach new perks and skills faster An increased battle experience coefficient. The lower the tier of the Premium vehicle, the higher this parameter will be. In deciding on this, we evaluated a number of low-tier Premium vehicles which were in players' Garages but proved to be unpopular in battles. In short - the lower the tier of the Premium vehicle, the higher the battle experience you get! http://worldoftanks.com/en/news/pc-browser/19/premium-vehicle-improvements/
Sigh! Finally got to downloading WoT (again), but it takes so loooooooooong... Sadly cant play on NA server, ping is too damn high, anyone else playing in EU side?
too high? I get 110ish and that works out fine. But yeah, still got an EU account, but I rarely play there.
My ping rocks between 250 and 350, depending on various factors. I've been a bit put off by this game lately though - well, specifically, the community. Never before have I seen a greater collection of high-school-aged, basement dwelling mongoloids in one place before. Last night, I take out my E75. We get Karelia, and so, in spectacular scrub fashion, the entire gamut lemming off to the south. With only a single medium to cover north, I redirect and I'm joined by another heavy, AMX 50 100. We encounter only a single KV-4, and a good firing line on a few enemy mediums trying to run up the middle. We make short of them and push for base. Our team, naturally, gets slaughtered in a gulley. Some prick with a 12t then goes off on a rant (while we're outflanking the enemy and moving into their base) about how scubby the E75 player is - and that I should go back to Tier 5 and L2P. So as per usual I remind him that he is in fact just a whiny bitch, and occupying valuable screen-space in my peripheral. With my excellent armour, the IS-6 that went back to defend their base can't do jack shit - we're winning. He's still calling me names and telling me how much of a failure I am with my tank (which is winning). So, we win. I'm top tank, most damage, most kills, and I get invader. The 50 100 and Type 59 that followed me north are numbers 2 and 3. This wanker is nearly dead last. And then - he PM's me, telling me that I'm a complete scrub, and he likes my "Gold" and how I free XP'ed my way to the IS-4 (actually had it before it was a Tier X, but whatever). So I tell him to get out of him mom's basement and get a life and stop harassing me. And then, my PC reboots with no good reason. So I likely got hacked - just before I could put the little shitbrick on ignore (and get his name for reference). So yeah - avoiding the kinderfest that is WoT for a while until I can check my router's settings, ports, etc.
Hey Killbox, you just stated the reasons i turned my chat off, with the PMers i just ignore them without replying.
Problem is that there's loads of friends always playing, always asking what's happening, plus the actual Pillow Forts. It's one thing for the guy to put it on me if I was braiding my dick while everybody was getting slaughtered - but we actually won the map. What. The. Fuck? But anyways, I'm sure it was just a technical glitch - the WoT client's getting more unstable nowadays. Think I might need a fresh install, but I'm going to check it out anyway.
I once had a guy apologize to me with a PM after a game, but never anything like that. All the same, I'm all too familiar with the community over here... how were/are the EU servers in that regard?
This weekend ill be available for a few games, plan on running down to the DC area to check out the mall before things get too cold for me. But Monday and Tuesday are off for me, so Ill be around all day those days.
