One more thing about tanks - New Russian Premium tank

Object 252 (IS-6) is slated to be a new tier 8 Russian premium tank. Some people are confused and upset because they thought this was going to be added to the Russian tech tree, but as developers are known to do they have changed their minds. Not much info has been released as of yet, but as soon as more information is release we will make sure to let you know.

World of Tanks Updates roundup

I swear this is not a World of Tanks blog, but with all the announcements pouring forth from Wargamming.net its hard not to post about it. IN an effort to consolidate my posts about the game I will post several news updates on one post so here is the latest:


Patch 6.6 to release tomorrow

 The much anticipated 6.6 patch for World of tanks will soon be upon us which promises to bring a new Map Siegfired Line and a major overhaul of the Germna Tech Tree with the split of the heavy tree line into two groups and the addition of several tanks including the E Series. Also included is several modifications to several other tanks including hit point reduction in the tier 10 IS-7 and T-30 tanks.

Its offical players hate Malinovka (Campinovka)

A recent post on Overlords blog showed a 2 to 1 ratio of players disliking the map. Being that this map is one of the first players expoirience when first playing the game I think most are just getting tired of it. A big problem with it is that when the matches involve higher tiers most players sit and wait which drags out matches and increases boredom for some. This map more than any other probably needs a make over.

 WoT to Celebrate 1 Year anniversary

World of Tanks is approaching 1 year of being live already and Wargamming.net has prizes ready for its player base. Forst up is a free Premium day with other goodies promised in the near future.

World of Tanks is looking for friends

Also they have announced a campaign to get 200,000 Likes from facebook users. In eturn for your stamp of approval Wargamming will give everyone a 5 times rate increase for their first match.

Well if you were clamoring for some Tanking news this should hold you over for a little. While see you on the battlefield.

Yet another Video Update for World of Tanks

Say what you will about the World of Tanks developers, but at least they are hard at work and constantly making improvements to the game. Today they released another news video starring my favorite non english speaking host about upcoming changes. This video is still in Russian so you will have to read the text at the bottom of the screen.

I like the attention to detail that goes along with a graphics update it shows they care about details. Implementing a new graphics tool shows they arn't just hoarding all the cash they are making, but are also focusing on improving the game.

World of Tanks Patch 6.6 Trailer

World of Tanks patch 6.6 is close upon us and Wargamming.net has released a video documenting the new features. Included in this patch is a new map Siegfried Line and some major additions to the German Tank Line.

I am really looking forward to the E series of German tanks and the new map. The best part of this game is the frequent patchs they release. Every month or so new content and tanks can be expected. This is very different from other games as content patches are usually far apart.

How to make trips Epic

Melmoth at Killed in a Smiling Accident has a post up about questing while away. As usual he has a interesting way of looking at life and games and making it humorous. Its amazing how easily life can parody what we do in games, but how little of what we do in a game would be allowed in life.

                      My three-year-old daughter has a fascination with pine cones, something which becomes somewhat of an obsession when presented with a forest packed to the canopy with conifers. I made the most of the situation by setting her tasks to collect certain numbers of pine cones and return them to me. When she returned with the correct number I would offer her the choice of a plastic sword or an item of clothing from her suitcase, the latter of which she quickly learned could be equipped in order to improve her resistance to elemental damage. If she brought me an incorrect number of pine cones, I would either ignore her entirely, or incessantly repeat the same nonsensical sentence to her until she went away and collected the correct number.
