WoT 1.9: new test currency

In the 1.9 Test Server there is a new tab in the store where you can buy items using the new currency.

The “test store” is divided into three sections, and the currency itself does not yet have a name. We only know that each player gets 700 “coins” to start with. For now, they can only be obtained during special combat missions as part of the public test. Items available for purchase include styles, stickers, emblems, directives, personal reserves, and consumables.

WoT Q&A – 27th March 2020

A brief overlook of the most important info from the 24 April Q&A with the devs.

Collectors’ tanks:

  • there won’t be any compensation for moving tanks into the collector category
  • the amount of collectors tanks will increase, not only through moving them out from trees
  • the crews in collectors’ tanks will function as in tree tanks
  • collectors’ tanks won’t have any special mechanics, and will abide to all rebalance rules
  • collectors’ tanks are made so as to assist new players in playing and unlocking, as they’re mostly vehicles that are rare on the battlefield, have distinct traits, have a small following, or don’t fit the new trees
  • if the idea of such tanks ‘takes roots’ then it’s possible that new ones will be created on lower tiers, who deserve to be in-game, but really only have collectors’ value

Blueprints, crew, equipment:

  • work is underway to enable players to chose the nationality and class of the blueprints they want to receive
  • tests of the new crew system will also be done on the Sandbox
  • despite players wanting to buy Clan War tanks and equipment for money (not bonds), such a possibility won’t be implemented
  • it’s too soon to talk about an upgrade to the Battle Pass, the ideas are being gathered among players
  • there are ideas regarding changes to the price of demounting bond and Battle Pass equipment

Equipment 2.0:
