Shatterline – Open Beta may arrive in the first half of 2022

~ Sebastianul ~ 2 Comments

Remember Shatterline, that leaked upcoming project from WG?

There have been no news about this Wargaming project for a long time. There were expectations that the first trailer would be shown this summer, but it didn’t happen.

Our colleagues at wotclue recently noticed an advertisement for the yet—to-be-announced Shatterline game from Wargaming.

On VK, targeted advertising of the game makes a participation offer for a large closed alpha test of the game with an NDA (11 days). Interestingly, the advertisement comes from the closed official VK community of the game (link) and it is aimed at certain people: those who subscribe to WoT and currently popular shooter genre games (CS:GO, Battlefield, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, Escape from Tarkov, etc.).

Interestingly, a closed alpha test of Shatterline with a non-disclosure agreement has been going on since December 2020. And everything is still continuing. NDA tests of the shooter game take place once a week on Thursdays, with a 4-hour game session. New builds for testing have been provided every week for almost a year. Apparently, now they have decided to recruit a large test base straightaway from the CIS region. They have also recruited testers beforehand, but only in Europe and also with the help of advertising campaigns.

  • For the first time, the fully-fledged Shatterline game from WG became known about in July 2020, when it was lit up in the European WG Game Center.

Shatterline is a PvE-PvP dynamic AAA first-person shooter with incredible F2P (Free-to-play) co-op. The game is being developed by the Ukrainian company Frag Lab, owned by Wargaming.

The shooter is based on Amazon (Lumberyard) technologies. The studio employs about 200 people. Previously, part of this team worked on the Warface game. The game is also being made for consoles.

Sprocket – A Tank Design Game

If you are a tank lover, designing a tank will be an interesting and meaningful thing for you. You can also make your tank designs into custom items such as custom tank hard enamel pins, custom tank PVC Patches, etc. They are great accessories that you can use to decorate your clothes, bags, etc. They can also be unique gifts for tank club members or military lovers. See more on gs-jj. For unique custom hats geared toward police and military and especially tank enthusiasts visit The Monterey Company.

 

An interesting find if you would like a different tank experience. Design WW1/WW2 era tanks yourself and test them in battle!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1674170/Sprocket/

Gameplay:

Design tanks in a dedicated and intuitive designer, allowing the realistic armour mechanics that make tank combat so unique. Explore tank design’s challenges through WW1, the interwar period and the early, mid and late stages of WW2.

Please note: There is currently no dedicated tutorial. If you don’t enjoy figuring things out or you don’t know much about tanks, it may be worth holding off until better guidance is in place.

Hull & Turret Shape Design

Easy to use and flexible enough to give you endless design starting points. Drag on a face or edge to move it. Bigger compartments create more internal space but have more surface to armour.
Well angled shapes may bounce incoming shells off entirely, leaving only a scratch and several ringing ears.

Armour Design

Set the thickness of each armour plate, allowing you to block shots from your foes. Though the weight and space used adds up!

Cannon Design

Build a gun capable of piercing enemy armour. You’ll need enough space and force to rotate it. Make sure you save enough room for ammo!

Crew Design

Humans are light but large and quite essential, squeeze them in and assign them one or more roles. Cramped and overworked crew perform poorly.

Wargaming under DDoS Attack (RU)

~ Sebastianul ~ 11 Comments

RU4 was under a DDoS attack recently. WG sites were also attacked (forums, wiki, WGMods, premium store, and so on.)

“Since November 27, some players have encountered problems playing on the RU4 server: short-term freezes, loss of tank control, problems with registering hits, and even disconnecting from the server.

Devs have determined that a targeted and sustained DDoS attack is the cause of the problem. In this regard, they decided to disable the automatic login to the RU4 server. This means that players will not be able to connect to the server when you select the “Auto” option in the main menu of the game, but they can still log in there manually. Players can also continue playing if they are logged into RU4 right now, but devs strongly recommend that you select any of the other servers available.

Developers will continue to monitor the status of the servers and keep you updated on the situation.

Developers apologize for the inconvenience caused and wish you a comfortable and successful game! “

WoT – Clan Updates: Old Tags and New Maps

~ Sebastianul ~ 4 Comments

Source: EU Portal

Clans have been an essential part of World of Tanks since the early days of the game. Millions of players have banded together under one banner to conquer the Global Map, fight in tournaments, defend their Stronghold, or simply team up with like-minded tank commanders and have a good time. Forming your own community is easy, and everyone with 1,000,000 credits can create a clan with a unique clan tag, name, and logo. However, keeping a clan alive is difficult, and many who have tried have had to abandon their efforts for one reason or another. In the past, clan tags once used could not be reused, even after a clan was dissolved. This left a lot of great clan tags in no man’s land. Many new clan commanders have requested to revive an old tag, but we were never able to free them up—until now!

Are you not part of a clan yet? Start your search for like-minded commanders today!

Freeing Up Old Clan Tags

The reset will take place on November 29 at 07:00 CET (UTC+1).

For the first time on the EU server, we will clear the void of old clan tags. This means that over 25,000 previously unavailable tags will be up for grabs. Gems like HAPPY, SWORD, EXIT, GETUP, WP, PIXEL, SUGAR, VOICE, MOON, EXTRA, X-RAY, LOVER, or FREAK will be back in the rotation and can be claimed by anyone by either creating a new clan or changing an existing clan tag for 2,500 gold.

If you’ve been thinking about a new tag for your community, this is your chance. Download the list of possible tags and see if the one you desire will become available. But be quick! You cannot reserve a tag, and once it is claimed, it might never be available again.

AVAILABLE CLAN TAGS

Map Pool Update for Clan Battles

It also means that we are constantly evaluating our players’ feedback and will make adjustments when necessary. In order to meet the current state of the game, changes will be made to the available map pool for clan-specific battle modes, such as Skirmishes and Advances.

Note: this piece of news is 16 days old. Due to unforeseen circumstances (temporary lack of workforce at the family farm) I wasn’t able to post it at the time. I’ll make sure to dedicate the next month to blogging completely in order to compensate for this lackluster year. Thanks for still being here.
