WG officially announced the World of Warships closed beta! It will start on 12 March until the limit of applications is reached. Got your attention, right?

Well, the bad news is that you have to watch the site for the form to appear – it will be there only on that day and you need to act fast in order to get a key.

As WG said:

So keep an eye on the portal. If you snooze, you lose!

More good news: from March 12 onward, the Non-Disclosure Agreement that prevented you from sharing stuff is now cancelled.

The REAL Closed Beta Test will come soon, do not worry. Until then, have this nice historical article by Listy: The British 88 AA gun.

Also, quick announcement – happy birthday Jingles! May you have a long and prosperous life with many years ahead and keep up the good content that you please us with daily.

WoT developers Q&A 09/03/2015 – Part 2

~ thearmoredpatrol

Minipatch 0.9.6.3 is coming tomorrow. Only one feature will be introduced: the ability to login in WoT with social networks;

-Don’t expect to have tank turrets “colliding”. This will not be happening in the near future;

-Tank turrets ripping off when your tank goes upside down cannot be introduced with the new game physics;

-In the test of the new physics there is a feature where the placement of the camera depends on the tank you have, this was made specifically for more comfort. In the alpha test, the camera placement was tweaked for a long time, until the current version was made.

-There is no decision yet on the mechanism by which the current movement parameters of all tanks will be transferred to the new physics. It is completely possible that a lot of time will be required for the recalibration of all the tanks.

Some thoughts about Armored Warfare

~ thearmoredpatrol

So, another game review. Although I’m sure most of you guys already heard of it, there’s some interesting information I gathered from their forums and streams.

But before I begin, I must warn you that unfortunately, I have no access to the closed alpha test nor have I participated in their focus tests so my review (which can’t really be classified as a review, sadly) will consist mainly on public information.

Firstly, let’s talk about Obsidian Entertainment. If you’re familiar with their products, you’ll know that prior to Armored Warfare, they developed roleplaying action games, such as Fallout: New Vegas (which was fucking awesome, I’ll give them that).

So, how come they’re following this road? Will they add roleplaying aspects into the game? The answer is yes. Unlike World of Tanks, the commander has a bigger impact on the rest of the crew and has unique abilities. You start off with 3 commanders (or 4, depending if you have Anthony Diaz – the one that was given away in December / January). Each commander will have their own biography, history, traits, likes and dislikes – to make them more unique and roleplayish. You will be able to gain and improve skills by playing and gaining experience.
