When the test server world of tank is closed. World of Tanks test server. Why is it needed

Our game Worls of Tanks 1.2 has a test server. Is it worth downloading the WOT test server and what is interesting there that is not on the main servers of the game? Let's consider in more detail.

World of Tanks 1.2 server for testing updates

The World of Tanks 1.2 test server is not open all the time, unlike the main game servers. Basically, this server served to ensure that players test the upcoming updates and slowly get used to the improvements that are about to be released on the main servers. Before any changes in the game, whether it is the introduction of new maps, or the transfer of maps to HD mode, or even the introduction of a new branch of technology, the test server opens.

That is, having learned what the developers have prepared for the players in an interesting way, we can not only in words, but also in deeds make sure of this. The game client is no different, and the gameplay itself has not been changed.

How to install Test Server World of Tank 1.2?

In order to install the WOT 1.2 test server, you need to download a separate game client, because there are no test servers on the main client. Just like the regular client is updated from time to time, the same happens in the test client.

What to do on the World of Tanks 1.2 test server?

Also, if you are tired of “leaking” your statistics all the time, which you have been raising for a long time, there are times in the game when there are no victories, you can move to the test server and play calmly. That is, we have been provided with a huge amount of resources in the form of "gold", free experience and silver, which allows us to purchase any tank without wasting time on pumping it. We choose any branch of tanks, and in a matter of minutes we can already buy ourselves a dozen for the hangar.

You can also buy premium tanks, if, for example, we have a choice between two tanks, and we don’t know which one is better for us to take, then you can go to the World of Tank test server and conduct several battles on each vehicle, between which there is a choice ... In the same way, you can upgrade a branch of tanks in order to understand whether we need a certain technique and whether it is worth spending time and money on upgrading the branch.

Download test server World of Tanks 1.2

As a result, if you need to try the game mechanics on any tank that you don't have in your hangar, or quickly check the new changes that await us in the patches before updating the game, you just need to download the World of Tanks 1.2 test server. Also, on the test server, you can just play with the crew, which has the maximum perks, or shoot with pure "gold bullets", so as not to lose the percentage of victories on the account and game statistics to get maximum pleasure.

We present the first general test of Update 1.1 with the Second Front personal combat missions campaign, a branch of Polish tanks, new and updated maps, and more.

Personal combat missions: "Second Front"

The long-awaited new campaign of personal combat missions "Second Front" is here. Three combat operations with different mission conditions and three new tanks as the main reward. This campaign will be a formidable challenge, and completing tasks will be richly rewarded.

The Second Front will be available to all players. If you haven't completed the first campaign, you can complete both sets of tasks at the same time. After the release of Update 1.1, we plan to gradually open operations: the first will be available immediately, then for those who completed it, the second will appear, and some time after the release, the third.

The Second Front is a new challenge for your playing skills. In the three operations of this campaign, personal combat missions will have a different set of conditions:

  • First operation: you need to fulfill a certain condition in an unlimited number of battles (for example, inflict 10,000 damage in any number of battles). The tasks are cumulative and will require diligence.
  • Second operation: it is necessary to fulfill a certain condition in one battle. Very similar to the tasks from the first campaign: you have to show how cool you can be in one battle.
  • The third operation: stability is a sign of skill. You will have to show a consistent result in a series of battles (for example, maintain a certain average damage in ten battles in a row).

In the new campaign of personal combat missions, there are no strict restrictions on vehicle classes. Instead, national associations will appear, on the equipment of which you need to perform tasks - one chain (15 tasks) in an operation for each of them. There are four of them:

  • Union: USSR and China.
  • Block: Germany and Japan.
  • Alliance: USA, UK and Poland.
  • Coalition: France, Sweden, Czechoslovakia and Italy.

Three completely new vehicles with unique features will be rewarded as part of the Second Front. Here they are:

British Tier VI Tank Destroyer Excalibur

The machine, created in the framework of the British project, known collectively as "Beetles" because of the unusual shape of the body.

You will receive not only these cars, but also other in-game items, as well as a female crew.

You can track the execution of tasks directly in battle using the key Tab or N... This feature will only be available for new missions within the Second Front, but we plan to add this feature to the first campaign as well.

We will tell you more about the Second Front in a separate article.

New Maps

Minsk

The map is at the stage of final optimization and revision. There may be performance issues on this card.

As you know, Minsk is a special city for Wargaming, because the company was founded here. On the map, we recreated the city center of the early 1970s, with some changes to make the gameplay more comfortable. If you have visited Minsk, you will recognize many places immediately. If not, just admire the cityscape and dive into the city's past!

Studzianki

This map is not based on any specific historical site. It was created based on the Battle of Studzianki and combines open spaces and confrontation points. At the location, you will find wide fields, a large amount of vegetation, small village buildings centered around a high church. The central point of the map is a small brick factory, which will become an important strategic point during the battle.

Changes to current maps

Calm

Many positions (including the aircraft carrier and the serpentine road) have been redesigned. The battles on this map will become more fair.

Siegfried Line

The positions of the northern team have been fortified on the map. Many points are reinforced with additional stones. The landscape has also changed.

Mines

The map required rebalancing, as it gave the northern team a significant advantage: the left flank provided them with more convenient and faster access to the central island. Using heatmaps and stats, we have made this location more balanced and fair to the southern team.

Provinces

Now only Tier IV-VII vehicles can fight on this map. With minor modifications to help the southern team, the bulk of the changes is to provide cover from fire in different positions.

Industrial zone

The map has been redesigned in HD quality, and its size has increased from 800x800 to 1000x1000 m.Changes have also been made that will improve the gameplay for all types of vehicles. In addition, the eastern part of the map has been completely redesigned.

Before the release of Update 1.1, we will publish a separate article with detailed information about the changes on each map.

Polish tech tree

With the Polish map, Polish tanks will also appear in the game. It's time to get acquainted with a new branch of technology: ten vehicles are ready to be tested in battle!

We decided to add this nation as a sign of respect for the dedication and bravery of the Polish people during the two world wars, when the territory of Poland was at the very center of conflicts.

The branch will start with LT at low levels, continue with LT at medium and end with heavy tanks at high levels. Enter the game and test Polish cars in battle!

    Updated (20-09-2019 09:38): third test 1.6.1


    The test server in World of Tanks 1.6.1 is a regular server where new maps, features, tanks and other game innovations are tested. It is impossible to get to the WOT test server when the player wants it - it opens only at a certain time, when the game developers need it.

    The third general test is open!

    What is a test server and why is it needed?

    Test server- this is the repository where the copy is stored and reproduced, but with some changes. Of course, before you make any changes to the game, you first need to test them.
    The first ones see the changes in the WOT development staff, after which they give access to super-testers. If there are any shortcomings, then they are corrected and the version of the new client is tested already under load. They "upload" a test version of the client to the backup server and open access to everyone. Again, the development staff is looking for bugs and shortcomings. After - they fix and "roll out" the new version of the client.

    How to get to the WOT test server

    To get to the test server, you need to download a special installer 1.6.1 or install Wargaming Game Center. Then run it. He will offer to download a test client - download it and install it. Next, a folder will be created World_of_Tanks_CT(in the directory where the player specified during installation).

    Everything is ready to go! We click on the shortcut of the test client and go to the login and login page. We go under our nickname and password, and choose one of the two test servers.

    Features test. Server

    • Each player is credited with 20,000 gold, 100,000,000 free experience, 100,000,000 silver at a time.
    • Everything that you earn and buy on the test server will never go to the main one.

    What's new in 1.6.1?

    • the ability to change the nation;
    • 11 new styles;
    • changes in ranked battles.

    Multinationality


    The picture above shows the first multinational T-34-85 Rudy tank, which will be added to all testers in the hangar.

    What is multinationality?
    A new feature in the game World of Tanks, which allows a Polish crew to land on the T-34-85 Rudy.

    Important! We can only change the crew in the hangar, it will be impossible to do this in battle.

    Why is this needed?

    In order to pump the crew of different nations on the same car. If players like the idea, the developers promised to add more multinational tanks to the game.

    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.
