02/05/2016 Q&A

Hello,

just finished translating a Q&A from Anton Pankov together with Ctacello, this information was gathered from multiple Russian sources:

anton-pankov-700x408-1020x595

-We are thinking about the possibility to give temporary rentals to all premium vehicles.

-There are a lot of questions about the Czech branch. There are two options at the moment: a complete rebalance of the branch with buffs to all vehicles up to tier 8 along with tier 9-10 rebalance. Or waiting with the rebalance to the new “tank role” model global overhaul.

-There will be rewards for the Alpha and Beta WoT Testers. Unfortunately we wont make it on time to celebrate the WoT birthday (12/08/16) but we will be ready on the Tanker’s Day (11/09/16 – Russian holiday). There will be unique promotions.

-The Role balance is expected to come during the summer, there will be more information about it around 10/05/16.

-New MM is now being tested and its named “preset”. More tests will come in the Summer.

-The M4A3E8 Fury wont be sold in the future because Sony pictures owns the rights of the this tank.

-IS-5 will only ever be a CW reward.

-Berlin and Paris will be added as random maps and there will be an extra third map that will be added this year but first the Devs want to fix the map rotation (receiving same map over and over again issue). There will be less maps this year.

-LT need to be given back their role as spotters as they are now only sightly playable. Tier 9-10 LTS are planned for the future but not right now.

-Team battle’s format will be reconstructed but not this year.

-We are hoping to add a new nation at the end of this year.

-Italian tech tree is planned to appear around 2017 or 2018. The team already gathered a full branch of HT, MT, LT and TD but there is little info about SPGs. The MT line will have a Leopard on Top but that’s as far as he is willing to comment on it. (RG: I wonder where he got the TDs completed… imaginary Pony land?)

-Many players want the WT E-100 to stay in the German branch but there will be a replacement nevertheless in 9.15. Still, the Devs will ponder what to do with the tank.

-Right now we are thinking about reset the WT E-100 perks because Grille 15 has a different type of gameplay.

– World of Warships Blitz and World of Warplanes Blitz – No comments.

-In the next patch fail platoon will be receiving -50% XP from the battles.

-We have ideas to release special perks bonuses by Nation.

-There wont be amphibious tanks.

-Arty rebalance is planned to come together with the Role Balance (aka Balance 2.0)

– We have many ideas planned for arty, for example smokescreen.

-And smokescreen for LT? “Arty is our priority”

-Armor will be the main theme of the upcoming Role Balance.

-Team Battles will eventually have tier 10 vehicles.

-He have a PVE prototype built so far. Our main plan/idea is to make a PVE historical company (bring back Historical Battles and merge them with PVE). And please let’s be realistic, do not expect it this year.

-Tank customization (player ability to add logs, bags, shovels, etc) is not planned for now (definitely not this year). (RG: They promised this years ago but they had to focus their resources into HD models first. It will be only for smaller customization and never for actual tank parts (hull as example) because of similar vehicles like the E50 and E50M)

-Will there be hull “modules changes” in the future? We don’t have many replacements for all the vehicles. It’s not planned for this year but we will be addressing it in the future.

-What happened with “WOT: Generals”? -This was first try to give players possibility to play in Browser. We stopped the updates but we wont shut it down because we have some people who play. We will keep it live as long there are people who want it live.

-Will there be multiple turrets? We have some prototype built but is not ready and we are not in a hurry to release it. T-35 will be first tank with Multiple turrets. (RG: Players will be able to control all turrets like in WoWS, they will all rotate where the player is aiming and hopefully they will make sure we don’t shoot ourselves)

Will WG release something like Warthunder (tanks, planes and ships all together)? No, there are not plans.

-Will Premium Shells be balanced? Yes its planned to come with the Role Balance this summer.

  1. Sturmtiger_304 says:

    Arty rebalance? Soooo in 3 years sounds about right.
    I also can’t believe they removed their head from inside their asses and finlly figured out that premium shells are unbalanced.

    1. Cricked says:

      Premium shells cost money, they will always do more damage and they should. This is never going to really change alot so don’t get your hopes up. Plus they are making most of their money from the premium shells. Advantage is always going to be in favor of the pay to play people. This is a business right?

      1. Random pubbie says:

        What are you somking? Prem/Gold shells have been buyable for normal credits for quite some time now, WG is making 0 money of of them unless you only spam gold and need a prem account for that.

        Not to mention that they are cancerous for balance because they can excuse low pen guns in bad situation or use low pen guns for utter bs pen values (T-54) or even create unpenable tanks unless you spam gold at them (Japanese heavys).

      2. Eok says:

        Prem shells doing more while costing more is not an issue, prem shells being cheap enogh for the unicums to spam with their 75% cHEAT loadouts is a problem though.

        If they were to remove income on prem shells the problem would go away, you could not spam cHEAT with your prem account running tier X obj 140 while still ending up only slightly in the red.

      3. Cricked says:

        The cost of credits for premium ammo is high and playing this way can run you out of credits quickly. To say they don’t make money from it is not true. Users that play this way consistently would likely need to buy more gold/credits because of how fast you can burn it away.

      4. NoComment says:

        Probably good, though knowing WG by rebalance prem’ ammo they probably mean buff it.

        Imo it should cost twice to five times what it does now, be extremely limited ie. 3-5 rounds or 1 clip for auto loaders or bring half xp and half credits for its use.

        But this is WG so we will probably get Russian prem ammo (buffed) other prem ammo nerfed a little bit but still better in every way than standard with no penalties or counters.

        As for the comment above I would rather have a team of 10 artys to fight than sitting in a corridor having 2 thirds of the enemy spewing nothing but premium ammo for no good reason other than stats and they can.

      5. Glenn A says:

        Cricked just an FYI Wargaming themselves have stated most of their money comes from people buying gold for gold conversion with the second highest income coming from premium sales.

    2. Roland says:

      I’d rather play against 10 players spamming gold and not a single arty. Those players can land shots with or without gold, but a clicker is able to ruin anyone’s battle without any effort or skill. Remove that s— now!

      1. Klimax says:

        I wanted to say “remove tomatoes like you”, but then, we artillery people – need practice targets for training and testing.

        Also it is clear you are ignorant person about SPGs. Heh. Clickers. Good joke. If it was only that easy… (that would be great! :D)

        Remove/nerf sniping TDs (Hellcat and co) and we will talk about arty.

      2. Enigmaticmuffin says:

        i mean, sure we can remove it. what’s the worst that can happen?
        its not like there are tanks that are only seriously threatened by arty, right guys?
        enjoy fighting unstoppable T110E3, Obj 263, JagdPanzer E-100, Maus and T95
        oh you can just flank them you say?
        not when they’re at range. Even worse when they actually know how to play their vehicle.
        if you remove arty, the entire balance of the game changes.

      3. Klimax says:

        Yeah. Tomatoes and campers will rejoice. And armored monstrosities will no longer have counter. (Campinovka would be no longer the only camp-fest map) Fun…

        Frankly, nerfing some TDs would do far more for balancing then anything about Arty.

      4. Infernal969 says:

        The shitters appeared.
        Because driving in front of a TD like a retard is imbalanced, but getting nuked from the sky by some fuck that only has to know to point at a tank is fair and balanced.

      5. Klimax says:

        @Infernal969 : Says right person. Beware we are talking to expert (on BS) That’s sum of your idiotic “post”. How do you know that the bloody TD is there when it outranges you by 100m? Oh, wait you don’t until shells arrive. You know who is bloody clicker? Players driving hellcat and co. They just park they BS in some nice place and all they have to do then is “click, click ,click”. Contrary to popular idiocy, SPGs require skills. Oh, wait you are complaining about being “nuked from sky”, because you are bloody idiotic camper who can’t use his bloody brain (or remnant of it anyway) and thus wonders why arties love him. We love stationary targets like tomatoes. (Welcome ketchup)

        Dear tomato, please continue to exist so we have some nice targets…

      6. Infernal969 says:

        Skycancer zombie complaining about TDs outranging someone. 😀
        Thanks, you made my day, keep drooling on your keyboard, it makes for some good comedy.

      7. Klimax says:

        Rather I will be sky-cancer zombie, then tomatoes turned into ketchup like you. On the other hand keep that hate for SPGs flowing. It is delicious. Your tears are tasty.

        Anyway, you do realize that Arty cannot spot on its own, but sniper TDs do. (Big difference, no spotter for arty, no targets)

        But I guess you are one of those snipers, who love to camp in their favorite spot and hate idea of having competition and having to relocate once in awhile because SPGs got a drop on them. (There is a reason why you are magnet for SPGs)

        Doesn’t matter, corridor behavior and general suckiness is due to sniping TDs, not arty. Same goes for LTs being useless. Nerf snipers and we can talk about arty. (Like giving us better control over shells) Well, no need for Bishop or FV304. Those don’t need any help… 😀

        Note: I drive almost everything: MT,HT,TD and SPG)

      8. Klimax says:

        Forgot another advantage snipers have: accuracy. All they have to do si “click, click click”. No skill involved. They just rack up kills.

  2. “In the next patch fail platoon will be receiving -50% XP from the battles.”
    Combined with previous comments that LT will not be able to get a bonus when Platooned with tanks of a tier higher, this worries me…

    1. Agreed. Some LT missions even require platoons, that you wouldnt be able to do because being a “correct plattoon” for the game would in fact be a troll platoon for your team.

      They need to make LTs able to platoon with tanks 1 tier higher (because a LT of tier z has the mm of a normal tank of tier z+1)

      1. On rereading, he does say “In the next patch fail platoon will be receiving -50% XP from the battles.” so maybe he’s talking 9.16. So possibly it’ll be fixed by then. Possibly.

    2. apache1990 says:

      I’m pretty sure the penalties only start when you’re outside the +/-2 tier range, if I remember the previous info right.

  3. -Italian tech tree is planned to appear around 2017 or 2018. The team already gathered a full branch of HT, MT, LT and TD but there is little info about SPGs. The MT line will have a Leopard on Top but that’s as far as he is willing to comment on it.

    LOLWAT?
    We have only LT/MT full branch.
    For artlllery/TD at current time tier 6 maximum.

    1. Xx1Tommy1xX says:

      WG do have and ask permission to enter and use special documents. Russian are the more willing to help has we all see. but the hardest to give documents away are the Japanese. the only exception to this is the SP 1C LT, WG was not aware of it until a player/fan came to them and show them what it was. The USSR tech tree actually can have a third TD line that would play like the Rhm line.

  4. Wulfe says:

    “-Italian tech tree is planned to appear around 2017 or 2018. The team already gathered a full branch of HT, MT, LT and TD but there is little info about SPGs. The MT line will have a Leopard on Top but that’s as far as he is willing to comment on it.”

    This should stop the whiners, although I am disappointed they went for the Leopard 1 clone instead of an indigenous project

      1. Wulfe says:

        Most likely is. Again, I’m disappointed they went with what is essentially a clone instead of a unique vehicle

    1. Trust me with these new physics you’re happy this tank is gone. Good players would have tons of fun but I would not have fun watching our scouts die in 2 minutes of battle each time because they managed to backflip twice and eject themselves from the map.

    2. That the point, i want fun with T-50-2, and i dont care about other low tier scout die in accident since all tier 5 6 lt already obsolete in current map meta and high tier med and LT which can scout better than them with superior armor and firepower.

      I loved T-50-2 back in the day when KV at tier 5 will meet Maus or IS-7, and T-50 can circle a tier 8 medium. Still keep T-50 in garage as piece of memory.

  5. All of this of course ……………………. subject to change (WG only do what WG wants when it wants, unless it affects profits of course THEN of course WG will act fast and do everything at the last moment

    “Armour role bring it back Global Re-Balance” jeez and lol! what again 2nd time around
    So? another lets nerf TDs again a 2nd time, view range, shell loss of penetration and etc

    Heavy tanks need cover like any tank NOT small corridors Maps without cover ADD lots of cover Trees Bushes Scrub TDs and whatever wont see Heavy tanks from afar to snipe, but I bet its yet more Corridors and TD nerfs ~ I can smell it coming (Berlin and Paris good examples

    lol

    -What happened with “WOT: Generals”? -This was first try to give players possibility to play in Browser. We stopped the updates but we wont shut it down because we have some people who play. We will keep it live as long there are people who want it live.

    That’s some BS right there. By announcing the end of updates (while there are still balance issues a plenty even though things were MUCH more balanced than late last year) people have stopped playing, alongside the fact that even while the game was getting updates you routinely had to wait 5+ minutes for matchmaking.

  7. Rhodesfiend says:

    Rita, recently during a stream you mentioned that arty will be rebalanced to the way it is in AW. Do you have a source?

      1. Rhodesfiend says:

        Yeah, I’ve watched the Slava bit on Jingies channel. I like Slava. He basically called tankdestroyers to be clickers. The example he used was the TD role on Fishermen’s Bay. Which I agree with. But Slava doesn’t mention the alpha damage for arty to be like AW.

      2. Dowbor says:

        “We are hoping to add a new nation at the end of this year” Rita what new nation he meant?

  8. Major Rager says:

    -We are thinking about the possibility to give temporary rentals to all premium vehicles.
    Bad Idea, Players already complain about new players buying tanks at tiers they have not reached yet.

    Getting warm!

    -New MM is now being tested and its named “preset”. More tests will come in the Summer.

    Lawsuit ?

    -LT need to be given back their role as spotters as they are now only sightly playable. Tier 9-10 LTS are planned for the future but not right now.
    Back to warm

    Devs want to fix the map rotation (receiving same map over and over again issue). There will be less maps this year.
    So? receiving same “maps” over and over again?

    -Italian tech tree is planned to appear around 2017 or 2018.
    If you do not get busy repairing issues you will not need worry about 2017 or 2018.

    -Many players want the WT E-100 to stay in the German branch but there will be a replacement nevertheless in 9.15. Still, the Devs will ponder what to do with the tank.
    STOP Pondering! The ship is taking on water, forget about the rats.

    – World of Warships Blitz and World of Warplanes Blitz
    Fix the first mess you made.

    -In the next patch fail platoon will be receiving -50% XP from the battles.
    Holding at warm

    “Arty is our priority”
    Oh! getting hot

    -Armor will be the main theme of the upcoming Role Balance.
    Definitely getting hot !!

    -We have a PVE prototype built so far.
    Interesting!

    -Will Premium Shells be balanced? Yes its planned to come with the Role Balance this summer.
    Is something burning?

    Don’t leave out RNG ! He has been working overtime!

  9. “-There wont be amphibious tanks”
    I guess what they mean with this is that they won’t introduce a game mechanic that will allow tanks to float in the water, of course only those who were amphibious, because it would be a pity for them to ignore some of those vehicles because we don’t need them to float to enjoy them in the game

    the Japanese invented some, the Soviet block made a lot during the Cold War (probably in preparation to invade the UK), the Germans played around with Pz.IVs and IIIs and the Americans had the LAVs, on wich they mounted everything from M8 turrets with 75mm Howitzers, M8 greyhound turret with 37mm guns and even a Chaffee turret with it’s 75mm gun

      1. yeah but most might be too modern for WoT, if they weren’t some would be ideal candidates for chinese TDs, that’s how some will be added to AW as tracked TDs

      1. of course, but you are forgetting that the UK is a group of islands, wether it was their main target or not they would still have to rely on a amphibious attack to reach the UK
        also, you know that the whole Cold War thing started because the western allies feared that the Soviet Union could be planning to occupy the whole continental Europe, only later came the Mutual Destruction “fear” that originated the Cold War

  10. peter vis says:

    What is a “fail” pletoon? their are many possibilities.

    Tier 9 and 10 (for all tiers of use) heavy, medium, td, arty combination?
    Tier 8 scout and tier 9 (for all tiers of use) heavy, medium, td, arty combination?
    Tier 8 scout and tier 10 (for all tiers of use) heavy, medium, td, arty combination?

    1. Teknokraatti says:

      There was info about what WG considers a fail platoon in the 9.15 CBT notes. The limit is +-3tiers. Still pretty high. This would mean that a T10 would at worst drag a T7 tank to a T10 game without a penalty, and any lower would apply the penalty.

    2. fighting_falcon93 says:

      It’s easy. If all tanks in the platoon have the same upper tier limit it’s not a fail platoon, else it’s always a fail platoon 🙂

  11. lulifier says:

    BALANCED PREM SHELLS? (money is economy, NOT ingame balance) …
    Thats like………….
    … ever seen a solar eclipse…. at christmas…. night?

  12. fighting_falcon93 says:

    – “We have many ideas planned for arty, for example smokescreen.”
    Worst idea ever. Yes WG, we grinded a 240 mm howitzer so we could pop smoke with it. Awsome idea, I’m sure everyone will be perfectly fine with this idea, especcially the ones that spent all the time and effort to unlock the T92…

      1. fighting_falcon93 says:

        Doesn’t matter. I don’t think anyone that owns the T92 will be happy to fire stupid smoke or illumination shells from it. You simply don’t grind all the xp on the entire T92 branch to get a 240 mm howitzer that pops smoke or vision. The biggest gun in the entire game should do the higest damage in the entire game, it’s really that simple, but it seems WG can’t understand that… or this Q&A has false info. I can already see this starting an enourmus shitstorm and it has not even been implemented yet.

    Obviously, WG is taking out the only good T10 german vehicle and they are replacing it with a useless piece of shit. I’d sold it right away and let that retard Serb play his “balanced” Grille.

    -Right now we are thinking about reset the WT E-100 perks because Grille 15 has a different type of gameplay.

    No shit, Jerklock Homeless.

    “-In the next patch fail platoon will be receiving -50% XP from the battles.”

    Like if they were doing it to earn XP in the first place.
    You can do 0XP and 50k credits fine, they will still do it to piss off players.

    Anyway, what’s a fail platoon ? elc AMX in tier 10 battle can do just fine. Even better than those huge high tier LTs. In fact, this allowed me to do second LT15 mission on my first try. 9,5K spotted is piece of cake with such a small invisible thing when you spot targets with 2k health.
    I’ve seen KV-2 wreck havok in tier 10 battle etc.

    I’d dare to say I’d rather see good tier 1 LT in tier 8 match, than Lowe driver with 7(yes, seven) WN8 rating..

    “We have many ideas planned for arty, for example smokescreen.”

    Yeah 😀 like I’m ever gonna fire that shell. To do what ? help my team ? In randoms ? 😀 😀 😀
    There’s no team play in random battles.

  21. Tyrud says:

    “We have ideas to release special perks bonuses by Nation.”

    Very interesting idea to give the nations some of their unique flavors back, though liable to lead more accusations of nation bias and such. Keeping this one on the radar, along with the Italian tech tree.

  22. “-In the next patch fail platoon will be receiving -50% XP from the battles.” most useless item there. As they failed to see why people to fail platoons. XP is not one of them. GG WG… GG.

  23. jetpowerfie says:

    “Won’t be ready in time for 12/8/16 but will be ready by 11/9/16…”

    What? If your not ready on December how can you release it in Novemb…..oh dumb-dumb. DD/M/YR. *slap*

    And more than likely where the Italian TD’s came from is he went to the REAL pony land, contracted several of them to produce plausible designs for the TD’s, then brought them back to us. Now this could be lame…unless real pony land is a war-seasoned nation and well advanced in the Art of war….then, then this could be awesome.

  24. Nigmata says:

    Gold ammo – higher pen but half than normal damage….

    Arty – only noobs whine because of artillery, just see fcking average DPM stats thrn you’ll see, arty take much less damage than you think…

    1. pixywing says:

      A class that can hit from across the map with no-counterplay, can one shot tanks, and does nothing but whine when it’s team doesn’t spot for it or protect it does the least damage well good. The amount of arty especially tier 10 arty that spend their game firing at tier 8 mediums and then whine how bad their team was are the problem. Arty needs an AW fix as it is broken and encourages camping.

      1. Nigmata says:

        IF hit. Arty not always hit, even oneshot is not common thing…

        Just look DPM stats, first arty is in the 50-60th place…

      2. pixywing says:

        Arty doesn’t hit most shots, but when it does it ruins your game. Getting hit for full hp doing 45 km/h and turning the first minute in my 13 90 makes me want to unistall not just go to the next game. You can do whatever you want, but I stopped spending money on this game 15 months ago and many others have quit the game entirely as you can see especially on the NA server which in 2013 had 35k on, now if we get 18k that’s a good night.

      3. Klimax says:

        First, light tanks have never had long battle life unless very lucky. SPG or no SPG. Especially if you are doing it wrong. (Like having predictable trajectory – we love those and it doesn’t matter if in SPG or some other nice tank) Also 45km/h is not that important or interesting if you are predictable or in wrong place. (Hello, sniping TDs)

        I can’t take away your perception, but I would say you are most likely wrong for causes of decline. Especially if talking about NA server. Frankly, I would say cheat mods are more probable primary candidate for such issues.

  25. alphabetaceta says:

    So they’re gonna hit my favorite T9/10 autoloader with the nerf hammer…. Completely unexpected…

  26. Poninator says:

    (RG: I wonder where he got the TDs completed… imaginary Pony land?)
    /// so what? WT had pony’s and everyone loved it! (Jelly?)

  27. Fail platoon never enters game for exp but for trolling and because most of those fail platoons are tomato bots. So taking 50% xp from them is not solution. Baning them for seven days is solution.

  28. How about if you change Arty to Cluster rounds? like the Bomber attack in Rampage mode? it would still be the same amount of Damage, but with greater AoE.
    it would be easiert to counter enemy arties, and maybe it could be easier to land at least 1 or 2 clusters behind a house, damaging a camping tank just a little that with a normal round you would never had hit

  29. -In the next patch fail platoon will be receiving -50% XP from the battles.

    so I will no longer be able to take my ELC into battle together with T7 HT’s?
    Bad move.

    2. There is no Gold. Only cheap Silver, or expensive Silver. Don’t whine if you are a cheap noob fucktard who cannot shop.

  33. I’d have chosen a different aspect for Historical battles. I don’t find it necessary to implement bots into HBs, instead I’d implement respawning,like in the game modes where people were cheating out the T-22. I’ve got several things in my head about this.

    My first idea was to allow the players to customize the the quality and quantity of his/her own tank group, and given a certain amount of points (or a range of points) they could spend on the tank they would take into battle (research would still be needed). Lower tier ones would worth less than the higher ones, and maybe there should be differences between vehicles of the same tier (T-34 might cost less, than a KV or SU-85). I don’t want to screw around with numbers, I tried it in the forum topic of “what 3 things would oyu change in wot” or something like that.

    Second, is something like that, but it would have pre-made line-ups, like for example 5x T-34, 1 Elephant… or mix groups like a Tiger and some small panzers with it, Or Lots of SU-76 and T-70 tanks.

    Third is what we had in Steel Hunt/Rampage that players could choose 3 of the historical tank and when they die choose the next one, or could tank less than 3 if someone happens not to have enough researched historical tanks. Each team would have Lots of points which start to decrease when a tank of theirs is knocked out, of course the best tank classes would decrease the points of the team significantly when knocked out, and the cannon fodder tanks decrease it less.

    If what I said above is quite confusing, then sorry for that, because I haven’t figured out certain parameters, since it would take lots of thinking and some testings mayhaps. In the forum topic mentioned above I only drew up the first idea, which I also find the least promising, because the rest are the “improved” ideas of mine. Also I suggested once that HBs should reward the players more, especially those who choose the trash tanks, with event missions, or a mission chain. I believe It might solve the early HBs’ problem when everyone choose the big tanks, making it the mode that should rather be called Unhistorical battles. Oh, the first sherman wave wiped out? No problem, here comes the second, and more. Your Tiger is wrecked? a shame xD Also implementing some battle xp coefficients would be good, because in the Sand river HB (Tobruk?) the Germans barely gained any damage, because the British team were half the size.

    “War Thunder”? Wait, is that still a thing? Actually, I did play it recently. No change to how the tanks handle — incredible inertia to move or traverse, but once gets moving it drives and spins like it is on ice.

    WoT: Generals has joined WoWP of “games not enough people play to put any resources into but too many play and generate income for the game to be shut down.”

    You idiots who say premium rounds can be bought for credits are idiots.It still cost you prem account or multiple prem tanks which all cost money.Keep up with the excuses for your being wallet warriors and unbalancing the game.

    First off,anyone that thinks that artillery prevents camping, is drinking the coolaid. Also my best battles are with no artillery. I can break cover and take time to aim without getting hammered by some tomato “camping” in the back. Arty players say that players don’t want it because they want easy mode. Then what the hell is playing artillery if not easy mode. If I’m tired and can’t focus, I play artillery and do quite well. Scout matchmaking has been obsolete for years now. No reason a tier 7 should face tanks that can low roll and one shot it. Let alone you being able to damage anyone. Scouting is hit or miss because of the maps. As for gold spam, then what the hell am I supposed to do in a T32 in a tier 10 game with 198 pen?

  37. “World of Warplanes Blitz”
    I (and many others) would actually buy that game.

    -There wont be amphibious tanks.
    But didn’t WG confirm that a couple months back? Oh wait WG went back on their word more times than I can count
