Test server world of. World of Warships test server

Servers for the World of Tanks 1.5 game update test are dedicated servers where the playability of cards, vehicle characteristics, and general updates are tested by ordinary wot players. The test server is available only at certain times; entry is possible only when the developers are ready to test the functionality of game innovations.

Release date - updates 1.5

Download general test World of Tanks 1.5.1

As soon as the link to download the test client 1.5 appears, it will be published right here! Tentatively, we should expect it in the late afternoon after 18:00 Moscow time. The client 1.5 release date should be expected by April 2019, as indicated in the table below.

How it works?

Let's look at what a test server is. Basically, this is a virtual resource where a modified copy of the game is located. The main purpose is to test and check the capabilities of any innovations before including them in the main patch.
WG developers get access to test domains first. Then super-testers are connected to look for shortcomings and bugs. After the fix, additional testing is carried out with the maximum load of the game client.

To do this, a copy of the game is “uploaded” to a backup domain, where anyone can access it. After this, the detected deficiencies are again eliminated, after which changes are made to the main game client.

How to take part in the WoT test?

Anyone can take part in testing the game. To do this, you need to download the installer with version 1.5. After which, the installer will prompt the user to download the test game client. After the download is complete, a new folder WORLD of TANKS is created on the desktop, with a directory of graphics settings specified by the player.

Key Features

There are two basic rules for test participants:

1. Participants receive: 20,000 in-game gold, 100,000,000 credits and free experience.
2. Experience earned on the test server, game currency and purchased equipment are not transferred to the main client.

Test goal for patch 1.5.1

Players will have to test the following innovations:

• Changes for the LBZ tank: Object 279 early;
• 3 maps converted to HD:
  "Empire's Border"
  Widepark,
  Highway
• Changes and edits on maps: Ruinberg, Overlord, Redshire, Sand River and Paris;

General test

On December 3, the general test of update 1.9.2 began. With its release, a new branch of US multirole fighters will appear in the game. These vehicles differ from similar models of other nations in their excellent speed characteristics, high survivability and powerful strike weapons. The branch included aircraft reflecting the development of US front-line aviation from the beginning of World War II to the 1950s and the Korean War.

Also in the update, a lot of work has been done on the balance of aircraft and weapons, the behavior of bots has been improved, and the interface of the Hangar and the training room has been modified.

As usual, the test server has special rules for accruing experience, gold and credits, which will allow all participants in the general test to fill their hangars with fully researched aircraft and fly them to their hearts’ content.

Achievements on the test server will not transfer to the main server. Payments are not made to the test server.
During the general test, the limit on the number of aircraft sold per day was disabled and a limit was introduced on the maximum number of bots in training rooms.

Rules for accruing experience, gold and credits on the test server

The following multipliers apply to earned credits and combat experience:

• The reward for the first victory of the day is 2000.
• The reward for the tenth victory of the day is 5000.

List of tested changes

Combat missions for the general test

Rules for the general test:

• All players who have registered for World of Warplanes or World of Tanks before November 13, 2015 and logged into any of these games at least once before this date.
• If you had an active premium account on November 13, its effect will not transfer to the general test server, and you will need to buy a separate premium using in-game gold awarded during the general test.
• The account in the general test will be credited with the same amount of gold that was on the main game account on November 13th.
• If the user changed the password after November 13, 2015, authorization on the test server will only be available using the password that was used before November 13.

To become a test participant, you must:

• Download a special installer.
• Run this installer, which will download and install the test version of the client (SD version - 4.95 GB; HD version - 6.95 GB). When you run the installer, it will automatically offer to install the test client in a separate folder on your computer, or you can specify the installation folder yourself.
• Run the installed test version.

You cannot install the Common Test client on Common Test version 1.9.0. The General Test Client 1.9.0 must be uninstalled, after which you need to download and install a special installer that will download the General Test Client to a separate folder.

The Help Center does not review requests related to the General Test. You can report technical problems you encountered during the general test to.

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!

Update 9.20.1 is approaching its official release and we are starting a new series of general tests. Participate in testing and evaluate the changes that developers have been working on recently. Here's what will be available on the public test server:

• Rebalance of Tier X light tanks, as well as British and American vehicles.
• Reworked personal combat missions with a new interface and mechanics that allow you to complete them faster.
• Additional rewards for high performance in battle are new ways to obtain bonds.

The changes can be found in detail in recent publications:

How to get to the general test?

Bonuses and medals

From 9.20.1, when winning medals in the “Epic Achievements” and “Battle Hero” categories, the player will receive additional encouragement in the form of bonds. Please note: coupons will not be awarded for cumulative medals. The number of bonds is not final and may change.

Improvements for pitched battles

The following changes have been made to the “General Battle” battle type:

1. The message about victory or defeat in battle has changed.
   Added a new type of battle victory or defeat message to make it easier for players to understand when and why a battle ended. The message has separate animations for winning, losing and drawing. Additional text shows why the fight ended. When a battle ends when a base is captured, the capture progress bar goes into a "locked" state shortly before a message appears to indicate that the outcome will not change.
   This innovation has been applied to all random and ranked battles, as well as the general battle.
2. Updated reward tooltips, which describe various conditions for obtaining. In a standard, oncoming battle and assault, the conditions are the same, but in a general battle the requirements are higher.
3. Improved combat interface (HUD) in general battles.
   The background transparency of player list panels has been reduced to make the information easier to read against a light background (sky, water, etc.).
   Boundary markings have been added to the top panel to improve perception.

Improvements for Training Ground mode

Changes:

• Irrelevant options have been disabled in the context menus of vehicle upgrade windows, the research tree, and the vehicle carousel.

• Rewards for completing the training ground are now displayed in the notification center.
• Added a notification to players that they will not receive a reward when completing the training ground again.

Corrections:

• Fixed a bug where some interface elements were displayed incorrectly in color blind mode.
• Fixed errors that occurred when saving and restoring settings (vehicle panel and sights) when the player entered the training range and exited this mode.
• Fixed the rendering of some game hints (unmasking when shooting, the need to return to the capture circle).
• Fixed a rare bug where the “Skip Tutorial” button was not displayed correctly.
• The results of battles in the mode have been removed from the notification center.
• Fixed display of the EULA license window when restarting the game client.
• Descriptions of vehicle characteristics in training ground loading screens are now correct.

• Fixed bugs in bot behavior.
• Fixed errors in displaying map boundaries.
