Bugs and secrets of WOT. The most famous bans, bugs and exploits in World of Warcraft Games world of tanks bugs
In this article, I want to tell you about a few tricks and " bugs" which may help you in the game. And so, let's start!
The first bug that I want to tell you about is a place where no one will notice you until they drive into a dense one, and everyone can notice, but not everyone will kill you! :) This place is on the map " mines"namely, on the "spawn" of the team closer to the water.
This "spawn" has a favorite place for ACS and tank destroyer, which is an ascent to a small hillside. And our place is the very first and largest stone on the rise to this slope.
It's easiest to get into it secret place on such tanks as: American tank destroyer second level T-18 or light tank also the second level of the USSR T-26. In order to get into our little secret, you need to stand in front of it and try to ride on it, while spinning from side to side for about two centimeters. If your tank sinks into stone, then you have succeeded!
You can easily attack your enemies and they will not notice you! True, until they drive up to you in a tight one, but don’t worry, my dear reader, it’s not so simple, they can destroy your tank only if some part of your steel friend peeks out of the stone, it follows that you you need to position your tank so that you can't be seen at all! Of course, there is one drawback, you will not be able to leave the stone if you get there, so you have to wait for the end of the battle!
The second bug can only happen on the map " ENSC".
The deception itself is that you will not be able to shoot down a caterpillar at a certain place on the battlefield. Namely, on any, I repeat any railway! To do this, you need to stand parallel between both rails, and make sharp turns (almost the same as in the case of a stone) while looking at the tank and not miss the moment when the caterpillar enters the railroad! " Voila"They won't pierce your caterpillar anymore!
And the third useful thing in the fight with the USSR tank of the fifth level KV-1. This most useful thing requires, so to speak " jewelry"skill!
You need to accurately shoot between the penultimate and last wheel at an angle of 45 degrees, preferably with a projectile bought for gold (but armor-piercing can also work). Later, you will damage the tank's styling, knock down the caterpillar, break the engine, and set the tank on fire! It is the most useful thing to require, as I have already said" jewelry"precision and skill, but the consequences will be very pleasant for you!
And so I told you only about small things that can give you an advantage and help you in the game!
Good luck!
Wargaming's World of Tanks project, in terms of client stability, is one of the best among all MMOs developed on the territory of the former USSR. You can screw up the battle due to the fact that the Internet is cut off, but there are isolated cases of a client crashing or freezing. At the same time, each of us knows that a correctly working program contains few errors. There are errors (bugs) in our favorite tanks. So, the topic of today's conversation is bugs in World of Tanks.
Let's start, perhaps, not with a bug, but with a feature that is known to most players - it is called the "six second rule". As you know, when forming a queue, there is a chance to get both to the top (top of the list) of the team, and to fall to the very bottom. There is no official point of view on this score, but according to statistics, with a battle waiting time of more than 6 seconds, the chances of getting into battle with tanks of a higher level increase noticeably. This is explained, most likely, by the fact that after 6 seconds the balancer tries to attach you at least somewhere - including in a team with tanks 2 levels higher than you.
There are bugs in the World of Tanks game that are useful, there are frankly harmful, and there are also just funny ones. Let's take a look at some of them. For example, did you know that even if your tank is destroyed, there is still an option to frag? True, this will require the help of a teammate - if he pushes your destroyed vehicle onto an enemy tank, then the latter will first sharply decrease the HP bar, and then the poor fellow will be completely destroyed - and the frag will be credited to you.
Even more amusing is the system for recording damage when fired, which gets lost when crossing models of tanks. The essence of the bug is as follows, for example, you drove a firefly to the rear of a tank destroyer, pressed against it from behind and the barrel of your gun plunged into the enemy tank model. Now, when fired, the AT will damage YOU, although your tank was not in the scope! The bug is twofold - on the one hand, it is very easy to damage an ally when tanking "herringbone" - very often the barrels of the rear rows fall into the models of the front towers. And on the other hand, if you are playing on self-propelled guns and a sharp firefly broke through behind you, then there is no more need to turn around - you pressed the enemy with your mighty carcass, waited for the tank models to cross, shot nowhere - the damage went to the neighbor! This bug is not fixed until client 1.5.0.4 - keep that in mind.
In general, the intersection of tank models in the game gave rise to a bunch of funny situations - for example, quite a long time ago Jove conducted an experiment - can one tank fall inside another? The German open-topped Hummel self-propelled guns and the French UE.57 tank destroyer, which is considered one of the smallest vehicles in the game, were chosen for the test. Visually, the Frenchman should fall with a whistle inside a hefty German - in practice, he simply remained standing on him - and confidently held on even when the self-propelled guns were moving. But now such fun is not available - the modern system for calculating tank models when one hits another operates as follows: initially, before its death, the tank that was driven into receives damage. After his death, the tank that was on top receives damage until complete destruction - such is the mutual annihilation.
And who said that tanks don't fly? They fly, and in such a way that the planes from World of Warplanes envy black envy. I'm not talking about banal falls from the bridge, I'm talking about the opportunity to soar into the sky and view the entire map from a bird's eye view! Such an opportunity was on the maps of Ensk and the Siegfried Line. In the first case, the unremarkable steps near one of the houses on the bottom spawn of the map were the catapult launching the tank into the sky. It was enough to drive into them and actively maneuver, and then, at a certain moment, a multi-ton car was thrown up by a force of an obscure nature. Aerobatics implementation of such a bug: fly over the entire map and land on enemy self-propelled guns- there is a video. The flight mechanism on the Siegfried Line was a little different - it was necessary to press close to one of the pillboxes so that the gun and most of the tank were inside the fortification model. Then you need to shoot - and go flying. By the way, this bug was removed from the Siegfried Line, there is no data about Ensk yet.
Well, it’s quite logical that if you can fly up, you can also fall down - there were areas near the Westfield bridge and in the Himmelsdorf station building, once in which the tank began an uncontrolled fall UNDER the map - endlessly, to nowhere, and there is no chance to go back.
Only killer stones can be worse than the failures of the abyss - imagine you are driving your tank, hesitated, crashed into a stone (by default, “kill yourself against a wall”, that is, it is impossible to hit an obstacle when moving along the surface) and exploded - for no reason, out of nowhere. Killer stones are found in abundance on the Desert River, although a few have been seen on both the Siegfried Line and Ensk.
After that, random turns on the spot and jerking the tower from side to side seem like innocent pranks - this does not interfere with the game, although after such bugs you have to aim again. By the way, for many tanks in the game, the gun can rotate 360 degrees not only in the horizontal, but also in the vertical plane. There are cases when the IS-3 gun, regardless of the turret, spontaneously lifted up in the style of an anti-aircraft gun, and then making a smooth turn THROUGH the engine room and the ground returned to its rightful place - a harmless and cool bug.
Sometimes a bug in World of Tanks is so funny that you want to post a replay with it for general access. One of the famous watermakers - Amway921 has a corresponding section on his channel - it is called, as you might guess, BUG-movie. At the time of this writing, there are 8 episodes, each about 10 minutes long. In all these World of Tanks videos, bugs are accompanied by appropriate comments - a lot of laughter and positive is guaranteed. Much of what was shown has already been fixed, but in any case it will be interesting to see what bugs were in the game and how they were fixed. And anyone can send a replay - just indicate the link to the stored battle record and the point in time at which this or that error occurred. not rare Bugs World of Tanks is shown in the VBR video broadcast.
In conclusion, I would like to say that there were, are and will be bugs in the World of Tanks, but the frequency of their occurrence and the level of harm are so low that it is almost unrealistic to expect them to ruin your game. This is more of a funny curiosity that can be screened than a really undocumented bug that makes you grind your teeth.
It caused serious discussions on official and unofficial forums, which is no wonder: after all, the bug not only made it possible to kill bosses in a few tens of seconds, but also turned PvP into a one-shot show. However, bugs of this kind are not uncommon. In this post, I would like to remind you of the most famous or most interesting bugs in the game, as well as the bans that often accompanied them.
Blood of Hakkar
A classic of the genre: a plague carried outside of ZulGurub led to utter chaos in cities. And the whole point is that the plague spread from player to player by simply standing next to potential victims. Players who ran to the city after death were very quickly infected again ... with quite obvious results.
Saronite kabum
Ensidia was the first guild in the world to kill the Lich King... before the kill was considered a bug. It turns out that it was impossible to bomb the platform Frozen Throne saronite bombs. And the fact that they generally worked on the elements of the environment is the fault of the players themselves. Guild members received a 72-hour ban, and engineering owners for some time lost the ability to use explosives in principle.
Martin's Rage
In April 2009, someone Karatechop received a funny package from the GM in the mail: Martin's Fury shirt, which allowed one-shot all enemies within a 30-meter radius. And he did not fail to use it for its intended purpose: Karatechop went to Ulduar, flunked a couple of bosses on hardmode. And got a well-deserved ban. Well, you need to be able to read T-shirts, and the GM's mistake is just a small flaw.
Severe Siberian magicians
Using a combination of a shield stolen from a Naxxramas cavalryman and a mega-proc, one curious mage had some fun in Naxxramas. A cleared solo wing and a 24-hour ban, “because it’s impossible”.
Raid Finder Abuse
Events: Banned an entire galaxy of top guilds for abusing Raid Finder. It doesn't matter that these guilds have been farming the same raid for hours to clothe their players. It is important that this opportunity was not closed in time, and when they came to their senses, they decided to punish everyone except themselves.
Angry Tooth Powerleveling Athene
In WotLK, the legendary paladin Athene managed to level up to level 80 in a record 13 hours after the release of the addon. Mob pool, group exclusion, mob killing = full experience for one person. According to Athene, this method was confirmed by the GMs as completely legal, but when it came to debriefing, this was safely forgotten. 600 days account ban, but who cares?
Alone in the darkness of the bath
The most brutal hardmode, one of the most difficult in the game, was completed by the Exodus guild. As it turned out, thanks to a bug: players who remained inside the brain could aggro themselves on the faceless ones that appeared in the third phase, greatly simplifying the killing of the boss. Result: 72 hours of ban and removal of Mimiron's head from the lucky person's inventory.
The reaction of the community on this score is very indicative, which always remains unchanged: while there is no official punishment, and even if it is known that World-First was made thanks to a bug, pioneer players are praised in every possible way. But, as soon as official sanctions follow, tubs are poured on the heads of the unfortunate buggers.
Swifty and his support team
Blizzard loves in-game events. They don't even mind the annual Players' Pride Parade, as long as it's at a reasonable scale. Mr. Swifty crossed that very mysterious line of sanity by holding another event. For which he paid with a ban: it turns out that such clusters of players have a detrimental effect on the performance of servers, and therefore should be punished in the most terrible way!
Illegal border crossing
Death Knights using the Undocumented Death Grip Ability could fly around the world. Blizzard did not like this and everyone who used this method of travel received either a ban or a warning.
The world's first assassination of Tirion Fordring
Known for their peculiar humor and sophisticated inadequacy, the guys from the Goon Squad guild from the US server Malganis used a bug to earn the world's first kill of Tirion Fordring. Surprisingly, the heavy bannhammer did not touch them: apparently, the whole point is that no loot fell from Fordring.
A couple more interesting bugs:
How thin is the line between the legal use of “features game mechanics” and “criminal abuse” =). And there is only one solution -.
Of course, this is only a small fraction of the abundance of bugs that accompanied World of Warcraft during its existence. Back in 2009, Blizzard reported 180,000 active bugs. How many of them now - it's even hard to judge, because "we're still working on it."
As always, your additions in the comments are most welcome!
