Download test server update 9.20 1. Download test server World of Tanks. List of tested changes

World of Tanks test server

While playing World of Tanks, we all repeatedly asked questions about which branch of tanks to download next, which premium tank to buy, what awaits us at the tenth level of this or that tree of development, and so on. Even more similar questions arise for newcomers who have just come to tanks. And of course, we have all heard more than once about the test server, which will somehow help us make a choice and answer all questions about pumping and choosing a vehicle. So what is the World of Tanks test server, what are its advantages and how to get to it?

Test Server Overview

So, first of all, it's worth understanding that the test server always opens a few weeks before the release of the game update. This gives developers a great way to check the new version of the game for all sorts of flaws, malfunctions, bugs and much more. After all, users playing on the World of Tanks test server may encounter similar performance problems, if any, and write about it on the forum. Thus, a lot of trouble can be avoided when the update is launched on the main World of Tanks servers. In addition, players have the opportunity to get acquainted with a number of upcoming innovations with their own eyes, to try out new elements of the tested version.

However, the players have found another application for the test - this is the opportunity to ride various vehicles, try out premium tanks and decide on a further plan for pumping or buying a particular vehicle.

Why is this possible? Everything is very simple, on the test server, each player is credited with:
20 thousand game gold;
100 Million Free XP
100 million credits.

Thanks to such generous "gifts", you can pump any tank you are interested in in a few minutes and go to battle on it, in order to learn about its advantages and decide whether to go to it on your main account.

As for gold, it will be enough for a maximum of two premium tanks of the 8th level, but more often for one, so many create several accounts on the test server in order to try out several cars and choose the only one that they will then buy on the "basis" and will fill on her game currency and experience.

But remember, whatever you purchase on the test server will never go to your main account, it's just a way to try out an upcoming update, determine future goals, get an idea of ​​a certain type of technology, or dispel your misconceptions.

How to download and install a client to play on the World of Tanks test server

First of all, you need to wait for Wargaming to start working on the update. To do this, you only need to visit the official World of Tanks website a few times a day and view the news feed. As soon as the test client opens, the developers will definitely notify the players about this event on the main page of the site, and you can download the client for playing on the World of Tanks general test. This news looks like the one shown in the screenshot below.

  • Added a new mode - Ranked Battles
  • Combat missions have been reworked:

    As part of the first iteration of reworking combat missions, the visual and functional part of the combat missions and actions window was significantly changed.

    A new item "Combat missions" has appeared in the Hangar, through which you can get to the corresponding screen. Combat missions are conventionally divided into three sections: strategic, tactical, and missions for the selected vehicle.

    Strategic objectives include tasks that will require significant effort (such as marathons).

    Tactical missions include those that can be grouped into specific groups by meaning (for example, daily combat missions, combat training, etc.).

    Each task is displayed as a tile, and they are all conveniently sorted with the highest priority. A detailed description of each task can be seen by expanding the tile. Thanks to the new presentation of tasks in the hangar interface, it will be much easier for you to understand them!

    Various promotions are constantly taking place in the game - in most of them prices for vehicles, equipment, experience transfer and much more are reduced. And now promotions are available from the "Store" menu item. Each promotion is presented in the form of a tile with a detailed description of the item on which the discount is valid, the size of the discount and other information. All tiles are interactive - by clicking on any of them, you can take advantage of the offer for the promotion directly in the game client.

Thus, if the commander of your car is a girl, then the car itself will "speak" in a woman's voice.
  • The following vehicles have been redesigned in HD quality: KV-13, T-44, IS-2, BDR G1B, Renault FT 75 BS, Renault UE 57, Renault FT AC, Alecto, Excelsior, Vickers Mk.E Type B, STA -1, MTLS-1G14

The Common Test client server has a test version of your Wargaming account, meaning that all the vehicles purchased and the research that you have completed will be the same. But don "t forget these key points:

  • Though your login details are the same, your test account is still completely separate from your normal account. Achievements and research that you complete on the test client will not be carried over to your normal play account
  • Real money transactions are not possible on the test server and payments will not be accepted
  • All test accounts will receive a one-time payment of:
    • 100,000,000
    • 100,000,000
    • 20,000
  • Depending on the aims of the test, Credits and Experience rates may not be increased

The test server is subject to the same EULA and general rules as the World of Tanks game server. This means that you still need to play nice, or you will be subject to the same consequences as on the regular, "production" game servers.

Getting started

Installing and playing in the Common Test is virtually the same as installing the "regular" World of Tanks. To participate in the test, you need to take the following steps:

  • Install the Common Test client,

  • Update World of Tanks via the launcher (total download depends on the update, but is more than 8 GB)

  • If you have already installed the Common Test game client, the launcher will update to the new version automatically

Be sure to install the Test launcher in a different folder from the current game client version. Also, close all game clients before installing the update.

If you previously installed the Test client and are having problems updating or starting, we recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the Test client.

Feedback

Once you have logged into the test client, you are free to play as much or as little as you want. We encourage you to try out all the new features and see what you can do!

Once you have been playing for a while, please let us know your feedback by posting in the dedicated forum threads. The appropriate links will be provided in the respective announcement. Wargaming community managers will collect feedback and report to the development team after the test period.

What makes good feedback? Here "s some examples of things you can bring up:

  • Any bugs or glitches that you have found in the game. Got stuck in the scenery? Game crashes when you do a certain action? Tell us all about it!
  • Honest feedback about vehicles and game mechanics. If you think something doesn "t function well, then please tell us
  • Feedback isn "t just about being negative! Anything you particularly like? Do you love the new stats for a vehicle? If the developers get a sense of what the community likes, it can allow them to focus on other improvements

Remember that the Common Test is about testing! Every new feature is subject to change before the final release.

Server Cycles

In order to make the test experience more efficient, it may be necessary to limit the number of players on the test server. If the server is full when you log in, you "ll be placed into a queue.

In addition, each periphery (server) of the Common Test will be restarted regularly according to the following schedule:

  • First Periphery: Every EVEN day of the month. Average duration will be around 25 minutes
  • Second Periphery: Every ODD day of the month. Average duration will be around 25 minutes
  • Central Database: Every day. Average duration will be around 2 or 3 minutes
  • The test server may also be subject to unscheduled restarts and maintenance.

Finally, the Common Test is also updated a few times each test period to address collected feedback or add other new features. Keep an eye on the Common Test article (s) and the forum for details on new iterations!
