2nd Campaign: Stage II is coming!
2nd Campaign: Stage II is coming! | Clan Wars | World of Tanks

Clan Warriors,

The time of vast empires and fierce revolts is slowly coming to an end. If you’re weary of defending your land or rising up against the landlords, put down your weapons and get ready for a change!

2nd Stage: Train Robbery

Stage II will last from 20th November until 1st December. Vehicle tiers reserved for this stage: I-VIII.

Train Robbery will be preceded by a short ‘re-division’ phase, which will turn all provinces into landing zones for the duration of one day. The map will not be wiped in this process, so all provinces you may control at the end of Stage I will be in your possession at the beginning of Stage II. In addition, ransacks and revolts will be disabled, espionage and counter-espionage will be removed from the map, and applications for landing zones will be set to 32 (during the stage, the special operations will be enabled again and the application limit will be raised to 64). If a landing battle results in a draw, the attacker will be considered the winner.

During Stage II, special trains filled with goods will travel throughout the World Map. When a train enters a province, this province will grant its owner Victory Points on a turn-by-turn basis. Needless to say, the routes of the trains will be watched by a lot of clans and no province sheltering one will have the luxury of feeling safe. Wherever the train goes, the frontline will follow. If it enters your territory, enjoy to the fullest the bonuses it provides but beware – trains will always come with a tail of raiders and marauders eager to lay their hands on the goods as well!

There will be several trains per map region and their travel speed will be a province per day. This means that every day the train will switch to the next province indicated on their travel route. The trains will be marked with a special icon indicating its current position and the position it will assume the following day .



Rules regarding Victory Points
During Stage II, the only way to earn Victory Points will be to host a train in one of your provinces (a ‘Train Province’) or conquer a Train Province and holding it for more than one turn. While a train is in a province, the clan that owns the province will start generating Victory Points every turn according to the following formula:

VP = 292 * X (X being the number of provinces belonging to the clan that is currently hosting a train).
Victory Points obtained in this stage are permanent and cannot be lost. This means that even if a clan loses a Train Province, they will keep the Victory Points gained from the time that the train was present there until the time that they lose the province or the train moves on. If a clan conquers a Train Province, it will earn Victory Points starting from the next turn.

The top 3 clans with the highest amount of Victory Points at the end of Stage II will also receive special coefficients for their members’ Fame Points calculation (only for Fame Points obtained during Stage II):

1st place: x3
2nd place: x2
3rd place: x1.5


Rules regarding Fame Points
During Train Robbery, the stage coefficient for Fame calculation will be 1.1.

The mainland provinces battle coefficient will remain 5.0.

Additionally, there will be three secondary missions that can grant clan members additional multipliers to the calculation of their Fame Points if they are completed:

Combo
If a clan owns two or more Train Provinces, a multiplier of 1.2 will be added to the calculation of its members’ Fame Points for all battles won (regardless of whether the battles are fought for a Train Province or not) for as long as two or more Train Provinces remain under their control.

Drover
If a clan owns only one Train Province, a multiplier of 1.1 will be added to the calculation of its members’ Fame Points for all battles won (regardless of whether the battles are fought for a Train Province or not) for as long as that clan continues to control one Train Province.

Ambush
If a clan that fights against a clan that owns a Train Province, the attacking clan will receive a multiplier of 1.2 to the calculations of its members’ Fame Points. This bonus applies to all battles against clans that own a Train Province, and not just when fighting for the Train Province.

*Please note that the Ambush mission does not apply to clans that own Train Provinces. This mission is only available to clans that, at the time of a battle, have no trains in their territory.



For more information regarding the distribution rules of Victory Points and Fame Points, please refer to this guide.Guide: Victory Points and Fame Points | World of Tanks

Clans staging battles

Source: Clans staging battles - General Discussion - World of Tanks official forum

As some of you raised the question when we announced the second campaign and rules and regulations, some clans might stage battles to gain Fame Points.
We use the following definition for staged battles:
“Battles were staged in order to receive bigger amount of Fame Points using obvious collusion in advantage of both clans or one of themâ€
Extract from the Rules and Regulations:
1.11. In the case of questionable situations (complaints, technical issues etc.), the Administration reserves the right to request replays, screenshots or any other information related to the situation. In the event that none of the aforementioned data is provided, the Administration reserves the right to make a decision based on their own judgment.
We already started taking actions and will keep doing so.
Just so you know, the penalty for such thing is the removal of Fame Points for those battles, account suspension and Victory Points penalty for the clan for allowing such behavior.
We will keep investigating and take actions for other clans as well if necessary.
Thank you for your attention.

EU server: One free day of premium on 29.11.2013

this is interesting. It seems we will get one day of premium account on 29.11.2013 (I assume this will apply to US server too):


Furthermore, between 29.11. and 3.12., you will be able to get 40k credits, if you manage to do 1800 damage and score 3 kill

Oh yes, and if I see it correctly, all regular (or premium too?) vehicles will have x3 crew XP. Not bad.

Russian Q&A with developers from WG, done by EU player Silentstalker, on his blog "For the Record"

Just so you know, guys, I got told by WG RU that the annoying portal bug with switching languages will be fixed with the 8.10 patch, they developed the fix already but something (unspecified) prevents them from deploying it straight away.

- SerB will not publish how many players can RU server handle before it gets overloaded
- Hunnicutt archive digitization: “when it’s done it’s doneâ€
- the devs haven’t found any new tech usable for WoT there for now
- price of the archive? “no commentâ€
- T110E1 and T110E2 are also mentioned in Hunnicutt’s “Firepower†book, but there’s not much on them there
- according to some player, the devs promised to remove the “shift†(SS: the term used is “risingâ€, sorry I don’t know what it could be) of the arty aim circle when the tank they are aiming at disappears. SerB states this won’t be changed and they promised no such thing
- apparently the suspension collision model will not be made more detailed in the future (SS: as in, currently the tracks are like one huge hitzone, they won’t be changed into segments), if I understand correctly

There was also (for a Japanese portal) an interview with V.Kislyi. Since I don’t speak Japanese and google translate produces… mixed results, I’ll ask a native speaker for further explanation. In the meanwhile, here’s what can be gleaned from it (via Russian source):

- WoWp will appear in Asia during next Fall. There will be a short beta.
- Japan and Korea both put main focus on cybersports in computer games
- V.Kislyi likes Girls und Panzer and there are plans for a long cooperation, there are apparently plans for several seasons
- V.Kislyi likes to watch anime, he watched many movies from Studio Ghibli production

According to the data of Slava Makarov, this morning (around 8 AM) there were already two players with tier 10 aircraft in WoWp, wining the Russian “get to tier 10 first†competition.
