I just downloaded the program. When I executed it, my AVG spyware/virus software identified it as a "known Trojan/Backdoor". The threat name is "PWS-SpyEye!env.a"

It looks like this software is not getting loaded!

I've become hooked...how does one replenish his gold?

[Palantir]

I have AVG and didn't get any warning. Plus my son installed it before me and didn't get a warning either. Hmmm What about you Bob?
I run my AVG etc. daily and nothing yet.

In the last few days I have been having some Lock-up issues with the game. My screen goes "wild with off-colors" and locks up the game & my PC solid. It then usually reverts back to the proper in-game graphics but I'm still locked up and have to hardboot my PC. Not sure if it's a graphic issue or hardware issue with them. I'm having no other problems.

{Which just happened to me- for the 3rd time today- which is why I'm here right now...}


Gold- only way to get more in the Beta is free. You get 250 free per day; when it goes live you have to buy gold from what I understanding. I still have 3K Gold and over a Million EXP points. I'm at the level that researching new tanks costs 30K research points.

Gold is used to buy priemium shells & other $$$ stuff. You can turn in gold for EXP which allows you to buy your Tank slots & new tanks- after you research them.

My biggest gripe is I'm locking up in my StugIII and I get whacked for free with no kills.
I've played 176 games with 133 kills to my credit in it and I was trying to pull ahead in kills:games played. But if keep getting games I just lose in I'l never makeit before they wipe everyone clean.


On another front- I don't know how to set up a clan but is someone here does once again I'm in. I want to see if I can re-name from "Mithluin" to my normal handle when the Beta ends.

I have alot of lock up issues...but attribute that to the 7 year old system I run with...I'm still cruising around in a Pz II, but I'm able to knock out 1 or 2 others once and awhile. Survival allows the accumulation of Exp and the researching of bigger tanks. t5hanks fro the info..I'll look for you out there...Airbornebob ...Out!

It must be my graphics card, I played LotRO and after about 30 minutes the exact same thing happened. I'll replace it this weekend.

There's some sort of player contact deal on the WoT screen, maybe we can set up a friends list with it, have to check that out.

[KG_AirborneBob]

Have you thought of starting a clan, it cost 2500 gold..I dont have it. The creation screen is located where the forums are.

[KG_Koz]

I tried to load again and didn't get the warning from AVG. So, I now have it loaded on both my home and office PCs!

Right now, it is frustrating because all these idiots tend to just rush forward and get themselves killed. There is almost no strategy. No interlocking support lines. The enemy keeps sneaking around the map and nobody is there to do anything about it. In some ways, it reminds me of playing Call of Duty where someone keeps sneaking up behind you and shooting you!

But, i'm having fun and feel that it would work well if we had a group and tried to coordinate our actions.

The game goes Live on April 12th.

YAY KOZ!

Oh ya, it's frustrating alright which is why Clan play will just kick this game up to a whole new level. Just think of maps 25km instead of 1km we have now and the fun on those!

My kill ratio went way up once I STOPPED trying to play "team." I just got tired of being the only one covering a base or entire map side and then being overran by a horde of med & hvy tanks. Now I play in "platoon" fashion: I just attach myself to 1-2 players who sound or look smart and support them. I still die normally but now I'm fighting with a couple of other players who aren't suicidal.

Clan's.... I'll look at it. But I just dumped a bunch of points since I thought I'd lose it all anyway in the upcoming wipe. @4000 gold & 300K Exp left.

Someone "inside" should find out what the "KG" rule or etiquette is about using the KG name. I have seen 1 player using KG_XXXX.

We are not the only "KG" clan out there just the only true "KG"
the others are all pretenders =)
