Hello Tankers!

Based on the requested features in this thread: Community Suggested Change Poll

A lot of the items mentioned in the Poll (and a lot of community requested features that aren't included) are things we are aware of and are either currently in development or on our to-do list for future updates. Features take a lot of time to Design, Develop, and Implement into the game. There are a lot of things that players want (and us too!) but it all takes time, we are adding them as fast as we can!

One of the best places to keep informed about Features, Content, etc. is to read our weekly Battle Hero Article. This is released every Monday on the Portal and contains questions from the Community about current and upcoming things. If you have a question that you would like to see answered, you can ask in multiple locations listed below. We try to answer new questions, so if your question wasn't answered, it's likely that it was already addressed in a previous article. You can view the previous articles in the Portal -> News -> Community.

Places to ask questions:

- On the Battle Hero Forum discussion thread.

- On the "Ask WG Anything" thread.

- Facebook comments section during the Weekly Assault Videos

- Or just PM me with your question!

Have an improvement suggestion?

Please make use of the Gameplay Suggestions forum section! We keep a close eye on this section and create tickets so it can be discussed. At the end of every business day, RaiBOT01 sends out an email to the company of what bugs were discovered, hot topics that players are discussing, new player suggestions, etc, to keep employees informed with what is going on in our Community and the things you guys want.

To comment on the status on some things in this poll:

Artillery Rework

- We want to see how successful they are on PC first before making any final decisions. Also we’ll need to update to the 9.18 version of the server which will take quite a bit of time as we are currently on 9.15.

Tank Buffs/Nerfs

- Balance passes have been taking place. Just in 3.8 we touched a couple Premium Tanks but we have a larger balance pass still in progress for a future update.

In game clan features:

- There are a few things in the design phase specially for clans, can't say what they are yet but keep an eye out!

- Tournaments are currently in testing and will be coming soon.

- Additional clan positions are also being looked into by the Web team.

Mini-map updates:

- The last several updates have contained Mini-map improvements. The next thing planned is an art pass to update all the mini-maps to be consistent.

Mode where player tutorials and videos are available​:

- There is, Proving Grounds. There is currently 5 Tutorials available.

- Videos will be added back soon.

- You can also play multiple PvE and CoOp missions in Proving Grounds so you can practice against bots.

National Crew Voices:

- We were waiting for the Wwise integration which was just added in 3.8. Now that it's in, our Audio guy can finish up the National Crew voices and continue tweaking the new audio system. They'll be coming soon.

Customized Reticle:

- On the list of “To Do’s”. There is only one guy working on HUD elements part time so it keeps getting moved back in the schedule.

Fix server lag:

- If you are experiencing issues, please file a Support Ticket to help identify any issue that may be on our end.

Improve or update sounds:

- A major audio update just happened in 3.8 that allows more flexibility on what we can do. Our Audio guy is hard at work improving the new system so you can look forward to this in future updates.

Weather maps:

- An email was sent out yesterday to current active players. Be sure to fill out the survey!

Matchmaker improvements:

- We are really looking forward to seeing the results of the PC game’s matchmaking changes. They are still in the early testing phases so we’ll want to see what the final release is and how it works out before deciding how we may adapt it.

Two-Flag Assault mode:

- We see the files in our server code but haven’t started playing with them yet.

As you can see by the current results of the poll, the Community has a wide variety of opinions on what they want. We have a lot of different players to cater for so not every update will please all players, but are things that players do want. If an update doesn't contain what you may specially want,we hope that the next one does!
