Today marks the launch of the first Common Test of Update 1.8, which will introduce the new Daily Missions system and several changes to Session Statistics. The final Season of Ranked Battles will also be available for everyone. Let’s take a closer look.

Daily Missions

During the Update 1.8 Common Test, you’ll have the chance to be among the first to try out Daily Missions, which will replace Rewards for Merit with the release of Update 1.8. This new system will inspire you to continue honing your battle skills while enhancing your Random Battles experience with a consistent supply of useful items.

Every day, three missions will be available with different levels of difficulty: easy, normal, and hard. The conditions and rewards for completion are displayed in your Garage. All the missions can be performed simultaneously, and the number and value of rewards increase gradually along with the complexity of their conditions.

Can’t complete certain missions right away? Don’t sweat it! You can continue the next day from where you left off, since the most challenging missions often allow a few days for completion.

After completing all three missions, you’ll unlock a bonus mission with even better rewards, which may include:

• Bonds
• Credits
• Free XP
• Blueprints
• A free Garage slot
• A Demount Kit

As you complete Daily Missions, a special progress bar is filled. One mission completed adds one point to your bar. In addition, players with a WoT Premium Account will receive an extra 1 point for completing each of the three standard Premium missions. Once you’ve earned a total of 45 points, you will receive 100 Bonds and one of the following rewards: Personal Reserves, a Crew Book, or one day of WoT Premium Account.

Session Statistics

Session Statistics are about to get even better and more functional! To make your game experience more enjoyable, the updated Session Statistics will now display the following information:

• Win percentage
• Average number of enemies spotted
• Average number of vehicles destroyed
• Survival rate
• Average tier of vehicles you use per session

An options button will also be added so you can reconfigure this feature to your liking, and you’ll be able to select the statistics you want to focus on. Do you want to track destroyed and spotted tanks, or perhaps damage received? Or maybe you want to keep track of the percentage of wins or experience earned? It's all up to you!

In addition, the button allows you to choose how economic parameters are displayed: the total number of credits and bonds earned per session, or your net income with deductions automatically applied.

Finally, you don’t have to reset your stats each day. You’re free to decide when your session starts!

Ranked Battles Season Finale

In this first Common Test, the final Season of Ranked Battles will be available for preliminary testing.

After completing the final Season of Ranked Battles 2019–2020, you’ll have the opportunity to spend your earned Rank Tokens on the final reward pool, which includes not only the previously-announced unique Tier IX German medium Kampfpanzer 50 t, but also three gorgeous 2D styles, and other cool stuff, too!

More detailed information about these prizes will be available in a dedicated article soon. Don’t worry, upon getting the final rewards, all your remaining Rank Tokens will be compensated with Bonds—we'll get into the details a bit later, so stay tuned!

Now go forth and experience these exciting new additions for yourself!
