Discutii legate de update-urile care vor aparea.




1) New maps added: Marsh and Fjords;


2) Various features:

It's a common knowledge that World of Tanks has three main servers: North American, European and Russian, with each of them using one game cluster. The multicluster technology would allow to add one or several clusters to each server. Using a unified account on a certain server, a player will have the opportunity to play on any cluster of the server. The described option will be introduced with v.7.0 update; the additional clusters will be added later as required. Use of several clusters per a server would enable the following opportunities:
- The maximal possible number of active server players will be increased significantly (the players will be allocated on several clusters);

- The players will have the opportunity to choose the cluster with optimal in-game comfort (for example, a cluster with better connection and minimal loading time);

- Players will be able to switch to another cluster for the new challenge;

- In case of maintenance works, it will be possible to go to an available game cluster.

You can read more about the multicluster technology here.

Tank customization: camo and horns:
Camo. The change of tank coloring. The main difference of camo from skins, created by users, is that the camo would be seen by other players in the battle.
Camoes will be purchased for credits for a certain period of time (for a day and for up to a month), and for Gold for the unlimited period of time.
You can also buy an additional type of camo for Gold: the adaptive camo, which will be introduced as a special consumable in the store. The adaptive camo will "repaint" the tank into the relevant battle map colors. Additionally, the tank will get a special bonus to in-game invisibility.
The horns function will be described furtherly.

Tank company levels:
Along with the present battle mode, which will be called Absolute, new divisions of tank company battles will be introduced: Junior (tier 4 is maximal), Medium (tier 6 is maximal) and Champion (tier 8 is maximal). Each of them will have the tank company points limit, and the limitation for tank tiers (first of all, for tiers of SPGs and light tanks). At the moment we're perfecting the tank company divisions balance, which will establish the best formulae of "points/tiers" possible. The names of divisions are considered and are subject to change.

Sizing and other minimap options:
The update will introduce the opportunity of hiding/showing the minimap or changing its size and transparency by pressing hot keys. Besides that, the minimap will display players, who send special signs (asking for help, and etc.).

The complaint system:
During the battle, if you click with the right mouse button on a player's nickname, you will see the special tag "Complain" in the context menu. Any player can complain several times a day on other players. There will be several reasons for complaining denoted in the menu: insult, provocation, unsportsmanlike conduct, team damage, bot conducting. The complaints will be sent to User Support automatically.

Logos:
The tankers will have opportunity to place logos on their tanks; the option is acquired for Gold. The logos will be situated on the hull and turret sides of a tank. Players will place clan logos (if they are in a clan) on the tank, or one of the logos, given in a special list, which will be constantly extended and updated.

War mist on Global map:
At the beginning of a battle, the team won't see the number and names of enemy vehicles. The enemy tanks will appear only when detected by teammates.

Destroyed tanks freezing on Global map:
Any tank, destroyed on Global map, will be detained from Ultimate Conquest battles for a certain period of time, depending on the tank type and tier. But you'll still be able to partake in other battle modes with no restrictions: in random battles, in tank companies, in championships and tournaments.

Tanker skills reset option acquired for Gold:
Due to the fact that new crew skills will be implemented into the game soon, players will be able to reset any amount of already explored skills for Gold. The free "training points" of the resetted skill can be spent on training of any other skill.

Extended support of Logitech keyboards and Alienware laptops.
Advanced visual effects:
The new system of effects visualisation will improve the quality of visual effects significantly (smoke, shots, explosions) and will allow to lower system requirements for PCs.
