When the test server world of tank is closed. "World of tanks"

15.02.2021

Not so long ago, a new update was released to the game World of Tanks, which they managed to dub the next nerf of the tank destroyer. New patch 0.9.2, in addition to nerfing certain top cars, brought a significant number of changes to the game. On the test server, as always, there was a queue of people eager to test the new update. If you are a beginner, you probably wondered how to play on the World of Tanks test server. Anyway, what is test server and how does it differ from ordinary RU-servers?

Perhaps we should start with the fact that the Common Test 1/2 test servers only work while testing new patches. Thanks to open testing Wargaming collects patch data, errors, bugs and finalizes the update. Thus, while testing a new update, test servers may be restarted several times.

To play on the test server, you need a pre-registered account. In fact, if you have never played World of Tanks before starting the test, then you will not be able to play on the test server. A month before the test, a cut of the base is made. Thus, when you enter the game on the Common_Test server, you will have tanks in the hangar at the time of the base cut. If you changed your password, you will have to use the pass that you had earlier.

But why is everyone so eager to get to the test server? First, in addition to getting acquainted with the innovations, the player can play on any technique, since when entering the test server, in addition to his account funds (gold / silver), he is additionally allocated: 20 thousand gold, 100 million free experience and 100 million silver. Any player will envy such a reserve of currency. Alas, all achievements and "money" are not transferred to regular servers.

Thanks to gold, players can buy any premium tank and play on it. True, 20 thousand gold will not give you the opportunity to buy two Tier 8 premium tanks at once. But experienced players have already "caught" this situation. Many of them have a dedicated second account for testing. It is with him that they prefer to play on test servers. And if there is not enough gold for a pre-tank, then they switch to the main account. A huge amount of experience and credits allows you to open any branch of interest and buy any top tank. After playing several battles on a level 10 tank, the player can decide whether to download this branch or not.

However, the test attracts not only players who want to play on new combat vehicles, but also players who like to shoot gold. After all, the test gives out 20,000 gold, which is enough to buy gold shells for hundreds of battles.

As a rule, the company indicates the time of the database cut, so that the players who changed their passwords can get to the server, as well as the approximate time of the server stop. You can find out in advance about starting the test from the corresponding section of the official website - http://worldoftanks.ru/ru/news/pc-browser/1/.

To start testing, you should download a special installer called WoT_internet_install_ct.exe from the section http://worldoftanks.ru/ru/update and run it. The volume of the installer is small - 4.5 MB. But after the launch of the launcher, the download of the game will begin, and this is at least 8.5 gigabytes. In this regard, before downloading and running the installer, free up some space on the local disk.

After installing the test client, you just need to launch it, enter your data and play. Playing on the test is no different from playing on regular servers. Well, the answer to the question of how to play on the WoT test server has been received.

Read the news more often, watch the official KTTS program and get ready for a new test.

Update 9.20.1 is approaching the official release and we are starting new series common tests. Participate in testing and evaluate the changes that the developers worked on in Lately... Here's what will be available on the server general test:

Rebalancing of Tier X light tanks, as well as British and US vehicles.
Reworked personal combat missions with a new interface and mechanics to complete them faster.
An additional reward for high efficiency in battle - new ways to get Bonds.

The changes can be found in detail in recent publications:

How to get on the general test?

Booms and medals

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

Improvements for the grand battle

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

The message about victory or defeat in a battle has been changed.
Added the new kind messages about winning or losing a battle to make it easier for players to understand when and why the battle ended. The message has separate animations for win, lose and draw. Additional text shows why the fight ended. When the battle ends after capturing the base, the capture progress bar goes into a "locked" state shortly before the message appears, to indicate that the total will not change.
This innovation has been applied to all random and ranked battles, as well as to the general battle.
Updated tooltips for rewards, which describe the various conditions for obtaining. In a standard, oncoming engagement and assault, the conditions are the same, but in general battle the requirements are higher.
Improved combat interface (HUD) in general battles.
The transparency of the background of the panels with the list of players has been reduced to make the information easier to read on a light background (sky, water, etc.).
Added border markers to the top panel to improve readability.

Improvements for the "Training Ground" mode

Disabled irrelevant options in the context menus of the vehicle upgrade windows, research tree, and vehicle carousel.
Balanced rewards (credits and experience) for victories and defeats during the passage training ground.
The accrual of rewards for completing the training ground is now displayed in the notification center.

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.
Description of the characteristics of equipment in loading screens training ground is now correct.

Servers for the update test World games of Tanks 1.6 are dedicated servers where the playability of maps, the characteristics of equipment, general updates ordinary players wot... The test server is available only at a certain time, entry is possible only when the developers are ready to check the functionality of the game innovations.

Release date - update 1.5

Download the general test World of Tanks 1.6.1

As soon as there is a link to download the test client 1.6, it will publish right here! Tentatively, you should expect in the late afternoon after 6 pm Moscow time. The release date for Client 1.6 should be expected by October 2019, as indicated in the table below.

How it works?

Let's take a 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.
The WG developers are the first to gain access to the test domains. Then super-testers are connected to find flaws and bugs. After the correction, additional testing is carried out with the maximum load of the game client.

To do this, a copy of the game is "uploaded" to the backup domain, where anyone can go. After that, the detected flaws are again eliminated, after which changes are made to the main game client.

How do I become a WoT test participant?

Anyone can take part in testing the game. To do this, you need to download the installer with version 1.6. After that, the installer will offer the user to download a 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:

Members receive: 20,000 game gold, 100,000,000 credits and Free XP each.
Experience earned on the test server, game currency and the purchased equipment is not transferred to the main client.

Test target for patch 1.6.1

Players will have to test the following innovations:

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

When we started working on a new graphics engine, HD maps and new sounds, we set a goal for ourselves - to create such graphics and sound in the game so that when you enter the battle, you will simply be stunned and say: this is incredible! This game can't be eight years old!

Today this moment has come. You can literally immerse yourself in immersive battles in realistic terrain thanks to updated HD maps, atmospheric sounds of the environment and original music themes. And that's not all. We not only bring you a new gaming experience in World of Tanks 1.0, but we also invite you to be a part of these grand changes.

In this article, we will talk about what will be tested at this stage, what will be added in the near future, and what you can expect when the update is released to the main servers in March. Go!

Peculiarities

No payments are made to the test server.
In this testing, the earnings of experience and credits do not increase.
Achievements on the test server will not go to the main server.

We would also like to inform you that during the testing of 1.0, scheduled maintenance will be carried out on the test servers at 7:00 (Moscow time) daily. The average duration of the work is 25 minutes.

Note! The test server is subject to the same rules as the main game server, and therefore, penalties apply for violation of these rules in accordance with the License Agreement.
The Customer Support Center does not process Shared Test tickets.
Remind: download World client of Tanks, as well as its test versions and updates, are most reliable in a special section on the official game portal. By downloading the game from other sources, you expose your computer to the risk of malware infection. The development team is not responsible for links to the game client and updates (as well as their content) on third-party resources.

Instructions for downloading the test version of WoT

Download the World of Tanks test - this is exactly the problem faced by many players who do not really want to delve into the details, but want to try everything as soon as possible. To download test World of Tanks, just go to the official website in the appropriate section, and after performing some simple operations, get a test client of the game on your computer. But sometimes it happens that when trying to download a test client, there was an error, or the server stopped responding. What to do in such a situation? Fortunately, there is a solution to the problem, and it has several ways, in this article we will try to disassemble all possible ways that will help you enjoy the test client.

To download the World of Tanks test from other resources, you must remember a simple rule, which says that all files that you want to download and install on your computer must be posted on reliable sources, which in turn are confirmed by the developers themselves. Such sources include large fan resources for the game, as well as groups and sites of top clans that have been in the project for a very long time and have a positive reputation.

Various torrents, left-hand sites and other other sources can be dangerous both for your computer and for your account. In most cases, everything laid out there software and the game client may contain malware that can damage the system or transfer your account information to third parties. Therefore, you can download from such resources only at your own peril and risk.

Testing on third-party resources

So what's the plus third-party resources who legally and honestly distribute the game's test client? To be honest, there is a lot of positive in them. When downloading, they never interrupt their connections, they rarely fail, they immediately upload the full version of the test client without the need to update it and, accordingly, their data transfer speed is much higher than on the official website. You can find out a detailed list of fan resources that you can trust on the official website in the Fan Zone section.

Thus, you got acquainted with the ability to download a test game even if the connection with the main server is broken. It is also worth noting that sometimes on the fan-resources of the game desired file is laid out much earlier than the developers officially spread it. So now the priorities of the sources are visible to the naked eye, now you can determine exactly where you will receive the necessary content from.
