Hello everyone,
as you may have noticed, we changed our beta testing system, to a public one. We did that to get a lot of feedback fast, to reduce testing times.
And here again the important facts about the beta:
The public beta versions will have the following limitations:
Please always keep in mind that these versions are BETA versions. So there is absolutely no guarantee for a bug-free version.
Additionally there may be changes which won't be included in the final version. Changed/added items or tanks may be unbalanced in the beta!
So if you find any bugs or if you have suggestions and/or feedback please let us know!
If you discover a Bug
From now on, please use this forum just as the beta bug report forum. This means: don't post your bug reports into the normal bug forum. Open a new thread for each bug you want to report. Please chose a clear thread title and no generic phrases like "Beta bugs". Use a tag instead, which shows the beta version you were using, including a short bug describtion, like: [8.58 Beta 2]Hail of Bombs hotkey broken.
Use a new thread for each new bug report.
On the beta bot we've also added a command to report bugs directly in the game. In game you can use the "!report <YOUR MESSAGE HERE>" command. But the report on this forum is still the favored option ;)
Of course it's also possible to test the map alone. There are two commands which might be useful for that: -gold und -xp
What they do should be obvious, they'll give you maximum gold and xp for your tank. They only work in single player of course, but also outside of the beta.
Some people already told us (via the !report command), that the map shouldn't tell them to report bugs every few minutes. Keep in mind: these are beta versions. This means feedback is important for us. You just want to play for fun, without getting told, to report bugs every few minutes? Then please play the final and stable versions.

- the map is hostable with our special beta bot (hosting on all 4 battle.net realms)
- the map is hostable in singleplayer mode
