WoT ASIA: ANZ Periphery Server Update

Almost like clockwork, late last year the SEA-ME-WE3 cable from Singapore to Australia broke. This time Wargaming was ready. In order to save our ANZ players from bad ping over the break, we flicked the primetime servers on 24/7 with the proviso that we’ll revaluate it at the end of January when the cable was fixed.

While we have been elated to see the figures coming out of the server since its launch, it’s clear to ensure players of all tiers enjoy an optimal gameplay experience that we need to revert to prime-time servers. However, there’s a few changes which we think will make people happy!

Firstly, we’ve listened to your feedback about weekends, so the ANZ server will operate all weekend from Friday night (starting at 5pm AEDT) until Monday morning (2am AEDT). Secondly, the weekday server start time will now be an hour earlier (kicking off at 5pm AEDT) to help our Kiwi friends out.

Changes will take effect from 1st of February. See you on the weekend – all weekend!

WoT – Argentinian Fake News

This just in:

Falathi, Community Coordinator: Well, I dunno. From what I know, the Argentinian Sherman might be an error in communication. Maybe the tank will appear on NA, but not on EU, and it’s seemingly not planed.
To be clear: I don’t know nothing about implementing the tank on our (EU) server. I also don’t know whether it will be implemented on the NA server – if that was the case, I would most likely know.

So the Sherman Despacito, or whatever it’s called is most likely the buzzword of 2017 – fake news.

WoT EU: Urban Crusher: Meet the Object 705A

Few top-tier vehicles among the Soviet lineup feel all that different to play in the big picture. Update 9.22 will fix that with a heavy-armored close-range fighter, which can bring more versatility to a rather traditional tank design school.

The Object 705A that entered Supertest last December is set to crown the upcoming alternative line of Soviet heavy tanks, starting with the IS-M at Tier VIII and reaching the Object 705 at Tier IX. The most authentic point about the trio is their rear-mounted turrets, which define their core playstyle.

The all-time classic, IS, will become the foundation for the upcoming branch, so you can start hoarding the needed experience to explore the three newcomers.

UPDATE: The tank was confimed by Falathi to not come, here:

According to Dom1n, the next tank which will make its way to the game will be the Sherman Repotencionado, straight out of Argentina.

It will supposedly be sold from 15th to 26th February on the NA server. It’s basically a 70’s Sherman VC with a 105 mm FTR L44/57 gun, which is a copy of the French CN-105-57, and a new Poyaud 520 engine with 325 HP.

 

WoT RU: Preload the Patch 9.22

Taken from the WoT RU portal

Friends!

Continuing the practice of pre-downloading the update, we suggest that you download the version 9.22 in advance from January 31, 12:00 (MSK). The update itself will be released soon after the preload version.

Pre-distribution of the update will reduce the load on gaming services on the day of its official release. And you, after downloading the new version in advance, will be able to try out its innovations as soon as the update is released – without delays and tedious waiting.

We remind you that this is still nothing more than a test of a new process, and there is no talk of introducing such a distribution of updates on an ongoing basis.

FAQ:

What is preload?:

This is the download of the future update files (approximate sizes are 400 MB for the SD client and an additional 600 MB for the HD version), but with installation only on the day of its official release. Installation will take place after the launch of the launcher after the completion of work on the game servers.

To start automatic downloading in the settings of the launcher, a checkmark in the item “Allow pre-download updates” (by default it is activated) should be checked.
