Wishlisting. Some examples:
- “I want the F-22 next update!”
- “Gaijin where are these vehicles!!!” <lists 10 vehicles they want in the game>
There’s a separate thread for this here
Vehicle spec discussions, such as armour, ammo, ordnance, guns, data sheets, performance. Some examples:
- “I hope for these vehicles, they will balance the game. They have XYZ ordnance and will counter the XYZ!”
- 2 page discussions about what type of ammo a new tank in a dev blog will get. Now this is fine for the most part since a vehicle in the dev blog is part of the next update, however it can escalate into completely other discussions so do be careful!
There’s plenty of threads for these discussions here.
Bug reports, issues, suggestions, feedback for dev-server or testing. Some examples:
- “Abrams is missing its thermals. However that’s not meant to be as it had this historically. Smin fix this!!!”
- “This thing is bugged on the dev server, devs please fix it!”
You can make a bug report here and suggestion here. When the dev server is up, use the DEV Server Section for feedback.
You must remember that this is the most popular and active series of threads on the forum. Its aim is to put all of the next updates’ information in one place so it can be discussed amongst the community. Other discussions like outlined in the examples above can be discussed in proper forum sections. Occasionally, Gaijin staff members (such as Community Managers) may respond on this thread, so do be sure to remain respectful! Otherwise, they may just stop. Please also remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinions on what may be coming. If you follow the forum rules, you’ll be okay!
Please use the Eagle’s Shadow Thread to discuss the CURRENT Major Update. Complaining here won’t solve anything and is considered off-topic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Click to reveal
Q: What is this thread about?
A: This thread is exclusively about the upcoming major update and potential / confirmed content in said update.
Q: Will you add… (insert thing here)?
A: We’re not developers.
Q: Google Doc says we should have X by Y.
A: First of all, we genuinely appreciate how dedicated our community is by the fact that you track dev blogs, teasers, update drops, and past event patterns. The level of detail that goes into this is something we truly value.
The Gszabi99 Google Doc is a great example of that passion, and it’s a useful reference point for many things. However, we’ve noticed some growing tension around the idea that this document represents an official schedule or deadline. To be very clear, it does not. The developers are not bound to any timelines, predictions, or expectations listed in the Google Doc, no matter how well researched they may be.
Going forward, any comments along the lines of “Gaijin, why haven’t you done X by Y since the Google Doc says you should have” are considered your own opinion. As explained above, the developers do not operate according to unofficial community timelines, and no such document dictates the development schedule.
Q: Where did the giant list on the OP go?
A: It was severely out of date and was removed.
Q: Where did my post go?
A: Off-Topic comments will often be removed to keep this thread readable and on topic. No need to be alarmed or comment if your post disappears. If you are concerned, contact a Forum Moderator or Senior Forum Moderator privately.
Thank you!
