Q: Question regarding clans. Currently, with the clans in beta testing, we are limited to 30 members, and yet, in the “planned” features, we still are limited to only 30 members. When can we expect expanded clan rosters (I have a clan of over 80 members via my website) and when can we expect some type of clan battle/Strongholds battle functionality?

A: We do understand that most of established clans / communities / teams will need more than 30 slots. We are working on several options to expand this number in future. It cannot be easily set to 100 (500, 1000) right now for several reasons, on of them is scaling for future clan activities. But we do know about this concern and are going to find the solution. As for release schedule – sorry, no leaks

Q: Last year (Q3 or Q4) it was mentioned that a CV rework (UI and gameplay) was currently in progress. Iirc it was mentioned, that it would be ready for launch sometimes in 2017. The developer diaries video for 2017 (which was good overall, I’d give it a B+) however doesn’t state anything in regards to that. Can you give any more info in regards to that? Oh and have we seen you in said video?

A: CV improvements are in progress. We did not mention them in the video along with other improvements, because we wanted to focus it on new highlights. However, that does not mean that we are not going to solve current game issues. Yes, that big man that could use some sleep was me

Q: In this sub (below a video from flamu in a Minotaur) the topic came up again and it seemed, that there is a ‘dead zone’ where you currently have to gamble if you get a second smoke puff (for RN cruisers) or not. This gambling (esp. in high tier games) is a no go. Are you devs aware of this unclear mechanic? I know you said it’s not a bug, so it looks more like a poorly implemented feature.

A: I already explained how smokes work. I will do once again:

Due to how serious is the outcome the new skills and how consumable buffs-nerfs could affect the game, there will be a 2nd PT for 0.6.0 before it goes live, expect things to change.

JamesWhite has closed the thread on the Russian forum (the patchnotes posted previously on TAP), and their comments suggest that they are upset about this leak (likely by Russian supertesters).

For us this means the leak might be true.
