Hi everyone!
I just wanted to share with you the Developers bulletin from World of Warplanes. You will find some interesting info on changes in 4.3 and rewards for Open Beta testing.
Please, note, that my version is a slightly edited one.
Crew Training and Skills
The new system of crew skill advancement will
include three different types of crew qualifications: a pilot, a gunner and a
navigator. It is obvious that the second and third qualifications will only be
available for multi-seater aircraft, while single-seater planes (which are the most
common in the game) will have a pilot only.
Advancement of the major qualification of the pilot will improve the following
aircraft characteristics: 'Manoeuvrability', 'Speed', and 'Firepower'. Or, more
specifically, a pilot with 100% training level will be able to make the most of
the plane and its listed performance characteristics.


Interesting to note: Qualification
advancement will be carried out on a linear basis. Therefore, in order to
advance from 52% to 53%, the same amount of XP will be required as that needed
in order to advance from 99% to 100% (unlike the crew advancement system in World
of Tanks). Do you consider this a step forward? I personally do!

Visual and Graphical Updates
In-game illumination will be significantly
improved with Patch 4.3. Depending on the colour of the reflected surface,
gleams and highlights will be displayed on the aircraft and “soft shades” will
help to better emphasise the size of ground objects and feeling of speed.

Game Client Performance
We have been conducting a significant amount of research into the
improvement of game client performance, the results of which lead us to believe
that Patch 4.3 will bring an FPS increase for most PC configurations.
Tech Tree Changes won't be included here! But images are share along the whole post!
Plans to Reward Testers
After the
official release of the game, we plan to reward all those players that have made
a contribution to the creation of the game: by testing, providing feedback, reporting
bugs, and otherwise trying to improve the game.
Now is finally
the time for us to explain the rewards that testers will get…
NA/EU
Regions
All Senior and Alpha Test Veterans that have completed at least 700
battles when the game is released will receive an aircraft as a reward.
Alpha Test Veterans that have completed more than 100 battles when the
game is released will receive an "Alpha Test Participant" medal in
the game client, retain their Senior or Alpha Test Veteran status on the forum,
and also receive some other additional nice stuff.
All Alpha Testers (Global Alpha Test participants) that have completed at
least 700 battles when the game is released will receive an aircraft as a
reward, retain their Alpha Tester status on the forum, and receive an "Alpha
Test Participant" medal in the game client, along with some other
additional nice stuff.
Alpha Testers (Global Alpha Test participants) that have completed more
than 100 battles when the game is released will retain their Alpha Tester status
on the forum, and receive an "Alpha Test Participant" medal in the
game client, as well as some other additional nice stuff.
All Beta Testers
(Closed Beta Test participants) that have completed at least 700 battles when
the game is released will receive another plane as a reward, retain their Beta Tester
status on the forum, and receive a "Beta Test Participant" medal in
the game client, along with some other additional nice stuff.
Beta Testers
(Closed Beta Test participants) that have completed
more than 100 battles when
the game is released will retain their Beta Tester status on the forum, and receive
a "Beta Test Participant" medal in the game client, as well as some
other additional nice stuff.
Open Beta Test
participants that have completed at least 700 battles when the game is released
will receive an aircraft as a reward.
Thus, Alpha
Test Veterans (RU) and Senior Alpha Test Veterans (NA/EU), as well as Alpha Testers
with at least 700 battles played, will receive a total of 3 reward aircraft, Closed
Beta Test participants with more than 700 battles will receive a total of 2 reward
planes, and Open Beta Test participants with at least 700 battles will receive 1
reward aircraft.
New Maps
Last but not least, new maps will be introduced with Patch 0.4.3 – 'Asian
Border' and 'Plateau'.


Hi!
ReplyDeleteWould be nice if the gift planes will be little more competative than the beta tester gift tanks in WoT in their tiers.
Btw - what project are you working on WoT, WoWS or WoP?

Hi Folterknecht!
ReplyDeleteMy work consists of coordinating activities on different projects. So I'm more or less involved in all of Wargaming products started after World of Tanks release.
Best regards,
