The Challenge Generator: Phase II
Commanders!

A couple of months ago one of our exploration squads came across a strange and complex machine at an abandoned military base. Upon further investigation, it turned out to be an experimental training device called the Challenge Generator.

Our scientists took great interest in this machine, and the First Phase of the research was conducted, where many of you participated. During the analysis of the gathered data, the scientists have discovered more hidden functions of the machine: it is not only able to follow tankers’ individual progress, but also track the collective progress of thousands of tankers and encourage them to work together by introducing something called Progress Tokens!

What are Progress Tokens and how does it all work? Well, that’s what we are going to find out. It is time to power up the Challenge Generator again for the Phase II!



Phase II: Key Points



  • The event goes on from November 4, 2022, at 05:00 UTC through November 21, 2022, at 05:00 UTC.
  • During the event, The Challenge Generator will create two sets of weekly challenges for you.


    1. The first set will be available from the start of the event until November 11, 05:00 UTC.
    2. The second one will be available from November 11, 05:00 UTC until the end of the event.

  • The set of challenges consists of 4 weekly missions: one easy, one medium, one hard, and one additional challenge. Each of these missions can be completed only once.
  • Easy, medium and hard missions are available immediately and can be completed at the same time. It means that by performing well in one battle you can contribute to all three missions’ progress at once!
  • Additional challenge will be available to you after you complete both easy and medium weekly missions.
  • For completing these missions, you will receive a certain amount of Progress Tokens and some Credits.
  • Progress Tokens are used to track the Community Progression of the event. By completing challenges and accumulating Progress Tokens, Steam Community can move through the Progression and receive more valuable rewards.
  • The total number of the Progress tokens earned by the Steam Community and current Progression stage are shown on our special Infographics above, as well as the requirements and rewards. This image is updated once a day.
Now, let’s go through all the information in detail.

Weekly Missions: Complete Them to earn Progress Tokens



When the event starts, the Challenge Generator will create a special set of four challenges for all tankers. It will be available for completion until November 11, 05:00 UTC.

After that time all unfinished missions will disappear and a new set of four challenges will be generated, which you will be able to complete until the end of the event.

A weekly set of challenges consists of four missions:

  • Easy Challenge
  • Medium Challenge
  • Hard Challenge
  • Bonus Challenge
Easy, medium and hard missions are available for all tankers from the start of the event and can be completed at the same time and in any order you like. Keep in mind that these challenges are generated by the mysterious machine, so don’t be surprised if you and your friends get completely different missions!

However, our scientists figured out that there is one thing that all of these missions have in common. They all require you to prove your mastery by obtaining a certain Honorary Rank, Commemorative Token, Battle Hero Medal, or even a Mastery Badge.

If you complete an easy and a medium mission during the week, the Challenge Generator will grant you access to a Bonus Challenge. The tests show that these ones are not generated randomly, and the conditions are quite straightforward.

NOTE: To see all the missions and their exact conditions go to the “MISSIONS” tab in your Garage, and then scroll down to the “Challenge Generator” section.


For finishing these missions, you receive some Credits and a certain amount of Progress Tokens (more on them below):

Progress Tokens and Community Progression



Progress Tokens are your main focus in this event! The Challenge Generator uses them to track the overall Steam Community progress, so every mission you complete contributes to the common goal!

This time, all Steam tankers are united in a pursuit for the best rewards. The Challenge Generator has a special Community Progression, which consists of four Stages.

Each Stage requires a certain number of Progress Tokens earned by the Steam World of Tanks Community. When the Community collects the required number of Progress Tokens to unlock a new Stage, all players who contributed enough will receive a reward!

Keep in mind that the Challenge Generator rewards only those who actually contribute to the common goal. To receive the Stage rewards, a player must earn a certain minimum number of Progress Tokens:

To sum it up, let’s review an example. To get rewards for the first Stage of the Community Progression, two conditions should be met:

  1. The total number of Progress Tokens earned by all Steam players across all three regions is equal or higher than 20,000
  2. You personally have earned at least 3 Progress Tokens
Complete missions, earn Progress Tokens, get rewards: simple as that!

Progress Tracking



To see how much progress the Steam Community has already made, you can check the special Infographics at the start of this announcement. On the Infographics, you can find the progress bar and the total number of Tokens earned by players.

The Challenge Generator is a complex device that does a lot of processing. Our scientists are still working on figuring out the full power of the device, but for now, the data on the Infographics is updated once a day.

Participate in the Research!



Phase II is sure to provide us with even more information about the Challenge Generator. We still don’t know a lot about this device, but we are certain it has great potential.

Help us to discover the mysteries of the Challenge Generator, complete the missions, earn Progress Tokens and get the best rewards!

It’s Pumpkin Bash Time!
Are you ready for some light-hearted but very intense and fun engagements filled with sorcery? From October 20 through November 4, the Pumpkin Bash event will boil and bubble like a magical cauldron. Come one, come all—for heated PvP revelry and some nice prizes, among which is the loyalty of the first crew of coven members in World of Tanks!

Pumpkin Bash



EU: From October 20 at 5:00 CEST (UTC+2) through November 4, 2022 at 4:00 CET (UTC+1)
NA: From October 19 at 04:30 PT | 06:30 CT | 07:30 ET through November 3 at 02:00 PT | 04:00 CT | 05:00 ET
ASIA: From October 20 at 05:00 UTC+8 through November 4 at 05:00 UTC+8





Battle Mechanics



Eligible Vehicles



You can participate in Pumpkin Bash battles in any Tier VI–VIII vehicle. The matchmaker will try to set up a single-tier, 15v15 battle. If that isn’t possible, the matchmaker will consider other options: first, multi-tiered battles, and then the 10v10 and 7v7 formats.

Wheeled vehicles will have separate battles in the Pumpkin Bash mode with the same matchmaker logic. On some occasions, you may have to wait in a queue for your battle to start.

For those who don’t have wheeled vehicles, the following rental ones will be available for the duration of Pumpkin Bash:

  • Panhard AMD 178B
  • Hotchkiss EBR
  • Panhard EBR 75 (FL 10)

Victory Conditions



Unabashed Halloween PvP fun shows in very special victory conditions. In Pumpkin Bash engagements, you can win in either of the following ways:

  • Capturing both (yes—BOTH) bases
  • Helping your team do more overall damage than the other side before the battle ends

Resurrection



Relentless foe-bashing is more than welcome because, should your vehicle get destroyed, you respawn again in the same vehicle in designated Resurrection Points, with no limits for resurrections. You come back into battle with full ammo, regular consumables, and special consumables (Combat Abilities) that you had at the battle’s start. By the way, repairs and ammo are free and unlimited in Pumpkin Bash. It should be noted that you receive neither credits nor XP in Pumpkin Bash battles, but the prizes more than make up for that!

Combat Abilities



Pumpkin Bash magical Combat Abilities come in addition to regular consumables in event battles. Passive Combat Abilities give your vehicle some juicy bonuses, and Active Combat Abilities bestow some quirky beneficial effects upon your ride. They cost just 3,000 credits each in the in-game Store. Before a Pumpkin Bash battle, you can outfit your tank with up to three different Combat Abilities, mixing and matching them as you wish. It doesn’t matter how many of them are Active or Passive. You can even go all Active or all Passive.

Combat Abilities are activated with the 1, 2, and 3 buttons, and the shell types are instead mapped to the 7, 8, and 9 buttons. This is for your convenience, as you most likely will use Combat Abilities more often than you will change your shell type in Pumpkin Bash battles. The regular consumables stay in their place (buttons 4, 5, and 6).







Jack-o’-Lantern



The Jack-o’-Lantern is an arcane source of various super buffs you may pick up during the battle, some of which can potentially alter the battle’s course. Cast a glance at the minimap often (as you always do), and you’ll know when this epically magical drop appears. Keep in mind that the Jack-o’-Lantern bonus is random, so you won’t see what you’ll pick up until you do! Once you have it, you keep the buff until your vehicle is destroyed.



Maps



Pumpkin Bash battles take place on four maps. These locations will seem vaguely familiar because they have been “Halloweenified,” becoming mysterious and even mystical. While the maps are darker than usual, a full moon is shining brightly over each of them, so you’ll see where to drive to and what to aim at.

Progression



Stages



The Pumpkin Bash progression consists of five Stages. For every Stage, there’s a three-day period to complete its Quests and claim the rewards. After that, the Stage gets locked and the next one starts. Make sure not to miss any of the Stages—some of the prizes’ features work only in a team (more on that in the Rewards section below). And make sure to log in daily for a helping of Combat Abilities!

Halloween Points



Sorcery-infused armored combat gives you Halloween Points after each battle you win. The number of Halloween Points you receive is calculated according to the same rules as the amount of XP in Random Battles.

Quests



Every Stage has two Quests for you. To complete the first Quest, you need to earn Halloween Points. You will receive bonds and regular consumables. The second Quest of every Stage requires you to use a specific Combat Ability in multiple Pumpkin Bash battles. The reward is a fabulous female crew member or a sarcastic feline crew member, plus a special personalized 2D style of theirs and some decals.

Rewards



Witch Crew



Bonds and consumables are good, but we dare say the first-ever witch crew is even better! Especially considering it’s a fully voiced crew of sorceress tankers and their token cat. And by “fully voiced,” we mean every crew member has custom lines and reactions to what is happening in a given moment.

[expand type="details"]









[/expand]
To have them all talking (and to make your battles feel like something between a road trip movie and a magic carpet ride), you need to put all five magical crew members into the same vehicle. That’s why it’s important to complete all five Stages of the Pumpkin Bash event! However, if you do miss some Stages, don’t worry—you’ll still be able to unlock supernatural crew members, 2D styles, and decals for gold later.

When only the commander, Cordelia Astra, is present in a tank of yours, the limited second-option soundtrack will activate, which features the lead witch’s vocals.

Also, all five members of the team have the Coven zero perk. It works exactly like Brothers in Arms but has a special arcane flair. On top of that, each witch—and the cat—has enough experience to fully train a second perk or skill right off the bat (pun intended).

2D Styles



Each Pumpkin Bash heroine and their hero cat comes with a fit-all 2D style. Their patterns are the same, but the coloring is different. Along with the reward ones, there are two more 2D styles to remember Halloween 2022: “Iron Jack” and “Boo”. They are both obtainable in special packages in the in-game Store.

Known Issues

[expand type="details"]

  • If a player’s vehicle gets destroyed while spotted, it will respawn spotted. Any possible harm resulting from this will be offset by a temporary invulnerability shield applied to every vehicle after it gets resurrected.
  • The gun reload time shown in the Garage and in battle may differ insignificantly (with the former exceeding the latter by less than 1%). In such cases, the correct reload time is the one shown in battle.
  • If a player disconnects while in battle with Combat Abilities activated and then reconnects, the activated abilities may not be highlighted in the UI.
  • Battle replays are not officially supported for Pumpkin Bash battles, but you can still record them. Minor graphics glitches (mostly UI-related) are possible.

Are you all hyped up for Halloween in World of Tanks? Keep an eye out for more information about the Pumpkin Bash event soon!

Update 1.18.1 Is Here!
Time to check out Update 1.18.1, Commanders!

This update includes a ton of great features that will boost your game experience and add to the fun. Get ready for the brand-new Onslaught mode, the free Sixth Sense perk for your vehicle crews, modified Personal Reserves, balancing changes to four maps, and more. Dive into the game and check it all out!


Onslaught Mode



What if you could play in teams of seven, with everyone rolling out to the battlefield in Researchable and Collectors’ Tier X vehicles? What if you could use upgradable skills based on your vehicle’s role, capture Points of Interest to get extra Tactical Skills, and band together in Super Platoons of seven players? Well, enough what-ifs! Join Onslaught mode to find out for yourself, and enjoy the new rating-based matchmaking. The rewards include “Wing and Claw,” the first-ever progressive 2D style. Find out more about Onslaught in the dedicated article for the new mode.



https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1407200/view/3398551594417802749

Free Sixth Sense



The Sixth Sense perk is now free for every existing vehicle commander, as well as those you obtain in the future. If any of your crew members already have the perk, all of the XP you invested into Sixth Sense will be refunded. This XP will first be used to completely train their major qualification to 100%, and then on the last skill or perk that was being trained, and finally, on Crew XP that can be spent on a new skill or perk. If you have questions, refer to the dedicated article.



https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1407200/view/3301726014492689801

Improved Personal Reserves



Personal Reserves have been streamlined. Now, there are just three types of Reserves (one per slot) and two levels of bonuses. Plus, all Personal Reserves will have a duration of 1 hour. This means no more complicated calculations. The modified UI allows you to activate Personal Reserves on the fly, even during battle. Your old Personal Reserves have been converted into the new ones using a conversion rate that works in your favor. Check out the dedicated article for more details.



https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1407200/view/4649425839616028933

Map Balance Adjustments



We have refreshed four more locations: Malinovka, Sand River, Fisherman’s Bay, and Himmelsdorf. While playing on these maps, you can now enjoy the fresh smell of new tactical opportunities, and more balanced and fair team competition. If you would like to familiarize yourself with all of the changes to the locations mentioned above, see the Common Test article, which features a bunch of “before and after” screenshots.

LIST OF CHANGES

The End of the Waffenträger: Legacy
“Where Are You, Papi?”

(An excerpt from the personal diary of Ermelinda Jung)


[table noborder="1"]
[tr]
[td]                                                                                                                                                [/td]
[td]Finally. Everything is back in its place, just as it was a few days ago. Still, the wind hasn’t yet managed to blow away the already-annoying smell of burnt wires. We returned to the starting point and bought ourselves some time to prepare for another stupid invasion. If there is one, of course. The situation is complicated. On the one hand, we have the Alliance, with its maniacal desire to “solve” a problem that they created themselves. And on the other hand, we have my father, who, with stoic patience, has been forced to respond to their aggression over and over again.[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
But he wasn't around for this battle, and that couldn’t have been an accident. A person who always plans their moves several steps ahead of the game, like a good chess player, would surely have known about the upcoming attack. Nevertheless, the Alliance couldn't have known that he was away, unless their dogs were somehow involved in it. And given their ridiculous attempt to assault our fortifications once again, I refuse to believe that they are capable of something like this.

But if my father knew they were coming and left me to defend our land, what was it? A test? Why? To make sure he had trained a worthy replacement? I’ve never given him any reason to doubt my skills, and dad would not have left when there was so much work to do. No, no, it can't be. It’s only natural that I fought off the Harriers so elegantly. We’ve been improving our defense systems around the clock, gaining knowledge, building algorithms and developing methods of counteraction. A victory was the only possible outcome. Then again, we had Villanelle against us (I finally learned her name), and as far as I know, she is the only one of these bloated Alliance officers who could ever get my father to talk. Personally. Face to face. So there's no way they could have known he wasn't here.

Thankfully, no one will ever read this diary of mine. I wouldn’t want anyone to find out how inferior my analytical skills are to my technical talent. The odds are definitely on my side. Even if the Harriers do return, it won’t be for a long time. So I have more important things to worry about. My father is still missing. If this was a test, he would have already scolded me for making such a mess (underlined, with a note in the margin: "Convert one of the Sentinel platoons into ARVs") and praised me for my skills.



Where are you? The Alliance (rightly) considers me a force to be reckoned with, but you’re the only one who knows how hard it is for me to be alone. Without your support. Without the "Why are the wrenches scattered all over the garage?" I'm not a warrior, and you never raised me to be one. However, when I look back at the fury that overcame me when I destroyed those attackers invading my... OUR home, I see that there are two completely different people living within me. And I don't know which Ermelinda you would prefer to have on your team.

It has been a long time since I let myself vent like this. And that's because the worst thing a person can do is lose control of a situation. Still, I fear that I have. And it's all because of these demons of doubt that have been attacking me for the past several days.

Focus. Enough distractions. I think I should switch gears and just enjoy the moment. After all, my steel friends are still crushing the Alliance, yet I’ve somehow forgotten to enjoy the nice taste of... revenge? I'll make you proud, Papi, I promise. Just come back soon.

Coffee. I need another mug.

Sixth Sense: A Special Commander Feature
Greetings, Commanders!

When Update 1.18.1 goes live, the Sixth Sense perk will become a special commander feature. This means that it will always be available for all crew commanders in the game, and you will no longer need to train it. We are sure that this change will make battles more enjoyable for all players, especially new ones. Let’s see how it works and what will happen to your newly available perk slot.

Crew 2.0 Sandbox Test: A Look Back



In 2021, we tested Crew 2.0 in Sandbox. From the very beginning of testing, the Sixth Sense perk was made available as a default perk for all crew commanders. We received a huge number of questions, feedback, and comments. Clearly, players were very interested in these major proposed changes. After completing the tests, we took a break and carefully analyzed the statistics and feedback we obtained with your help. It was obvious that Crew 2.0 required further improvements, and its main changes could not be released in this form. However, we decided to first develop the solutions you would find most useful, including the Sixth Sense perk as a special commander feature.

Since then, we have been gradually moving forward, refining and improving some of the ideas shown on the Sandbox server. The Sixth Sense perk will be the first Crew improvements from these ideas introduced to the game. In the future, other changes to the Crew concept will follow. However, we will get into more detail about that at a later date.

Free Sixth Sense: General Rules and Compensation



Sixth Sense will become a special feature for all current and future crew commanders that you recruit, receive, or retrain. It will be available automatically starting from the crew commander’s first battle, regardless of the major qualification level. The mechanics of the Sixth Sense perk will work the same as before.

If any of your commanders already possess the Sixth Sense perk, the XP you spent to train the perk will be fully compensated upon the release of Update 1.18.1, and then automatically re-distributed in the following order of priority:

  1. To reach 100% of your commander’s major qualification (if it was below 100%).
  2. To train the last skill of the commander to 100% (if there was any skill that was not fully trained).
  3. The remaining experience will go to the commander experience pool and can be spent on a new skill/perk of your choice.
Example:

[table equalcells="1"]
[tr]
[th]UPDATE 1.18[/th]
[th]UPDATE 1.18.1[/th]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Major qualification — 100%

Sixth Sense — 100%[/td]
[td]Major qualification — 100%

Sixth Sense — special commander feature

New skill/perk of your choice — 100%[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
If the Sixth Sense perk has not been trained to 100%, then the experience spent on it will go towards reaching 100% of your commander's major qualification. The remaining XP will go back to the commander experience pool, so you can select and start training a new skill/perk of your choice. This new skill/perk will automatically be upgraded to the same level as the original Sixth Sense perk (e.g., 70% for 70%).

Example:

[table equalcells="1"]
[tr]
[th]UPDATE 1.18[/th]
[th]UPDATE 1.18.1[/th]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Major qualification — 90%

Sixth Sense — 70%[/td]
[td]Major qualification — 100%

Sixth Sense — special commander feature

New skill/perk of your choice — 41%*[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
*Training the first perk from 0% to 70% requires 51,172 XP. To reach 100% of your commander’s major qualification with 90%, you need 39,153 XP. The remaining 12,019 XP is only enough for 41% of the new skill/perk.

After the release of Update 1.18.1, the Increased Focus directive will no longer be available for purchase. Already purchased/received directives of this type will remain in your Depot, and you can continue to use them to strengthen the effect of the Sixth Sense feature until they are all used up.


Interface Improvements



We have also slightly redesigned the crew interface, making it clearer and easier to navigate. Special commander features and zero skills/perks will now be displayed separately. In the screenshots below, you will find these changes.









Sixth Sense as a Zero Perk



If your commander possesses Sixth Sense as the zero perk, you will be able to choose any of the 4 basic perks and skills (Repair, Firefighting, Concealment, Brothers in Arms), or any of the major qualification perks in its place as a zero perk (this rule also applies to each crew member who possessed Sixth Sense).

If Sixth Sense was a zero perk and you managed to train some other perks, you can still make them the new zero perk.

Example:

You have trained 5 perks, including Sound Detection. You will now be able to set Sound Detection as the zero perk. This perk will no longer be on your list of trained perks, and the XP you spent to train it will be compensated and automatically re-distributed in the same order as the fully trained Sixth Sense perk.

[table equalcells="1"]
[tr]
[th]UPDATE 1.18[/th]
[th]UPDATE 1.18.1[/th]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Sound Detection — 40%

Sixth Sense — zero perk

Major qualification — 100%

Brothers in Arms— 100%

Firefighting — 100%
[/td]
[td]Sound Detection — zero perk

Sixth Sense — special commander feature

Major qualification — 100%

Brothers in Arms — 100%

Firefighting — 100%

New skill/perk of your choice — 40%
[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
Instead of the Sixth Sense zero perk, you can choose any basic skill/perk (Repair, Firefighting, Concealment, Brothers in Arms), or any skill/perk from your crew member's major qualification. For example, for the Commander (other than the basic skills/perks), you can choose from:

  1. Jack of All Trades
  2. Mentor
  3. Recon
  4. Eagle Eye
Accordingly, if you retrain your Commander to Loader, you’ll be able to choose from:

  1. Safe Stowage
  2. Intuition
  3. Adrenaline Rush

Remember, you can only choose a new zero perk once and you won’t be able to change it later.
