00:00:16,150 --> 00:00:17,940
Hello, tankers!

2
00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:20,060
Have you missed the video blog?

3
00:00:20,060 --> 00:00:21,810
It missed you too!

4
00:00:21,810 --> 00:00:23,820
In today’s episode…

5
00:00:23,820 --> 00:00:25,660
Counting viewers…

6
00:00:25,660 --> 00:00:27,340
Answering questions…

7
00:00:27,340 --> 00:00:30,140
And looking into the balance!

8
00:00:30,140 --> 00:00:31,020
Let’s go!

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,940
This week is definitely all about esports.

10
00:00:36,940 --> 00:00:41,800
4 matches from the Star Series finals have
already been played.

11
00:00:41,809 --> 00:00:49,080
You’ve already earned a gold box value boost
for April 18th, but hey, the more crystals

12
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,150
per box, the better!

13
00:00:51,150 --> 00:00:56,610
So make sure you come and watch the live stream
of the battle today.

14
00:00:56,610 --> 00:01:00,580
Maybe we can get even fatter gold boxes tomorrow!

15
00:01:00,580 --> 00:01:06,260
Of course, what’s even more important, is
the Star Series grand final.

16
00:01:06,270 --> 00:01:13,140
The best two teams in Tanki will face each
other and fight for the title of Grand Champion.

17
00:01:13,140 --> 00:01:16,640
The winner gets 12 thousand USD...

18
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:17,700
And you get...

19
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:19,840
Increased battle funds!

20
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:25,370
The more viewers come and watch the live stream,
the more crystals you’ll be earning per

21
00:01:25,370 --> 00:01:27,690
each battle you complete this Sunday.

22
00:01:27,690 --> 00:01:29,050
What can I say?

23
00:01:29,050 --> 00:01:36,000
Grab your friends, parents, grannies… everyone
you can, and come to our esports channel.

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,200
We’ll be waiting!

25
00:01:39,820 --> 00:01:46,740
Time for our Q&A session, where we answer
your most burning questions about Tanki.

26
00:01:46,740 --> 00:01:47,540
Let’s start!

27
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:54,600
This tanker is asking us, why he doesn’t
have an option to enable mouse controls in

28
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,100
the game’s settings.

29
00:01:56,100 --> 00:02:01,760
Most likely, the mouse control box is not
there because you’re playing Tanki in Chrome

30
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,260
or Safari.

31
00:02:03,260 --> 00:02:10,879
Mouse controls are currently not supported
in these browsers, due to reasons beyond our control.

32
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:18,539
So, if you want to play using your mouse,
enter the game using Firefox, Opera or...

33
00:02:18,540 --> 00:02:19,720
Internet Explorer....

34
00:02:20,980 --> 00:02:26,120
Irakli wants to know, when the issue with
cheaters will be solved.

35
00:02:26,510 --> 00:02:30,870
Improving anti-cheat software is our primary
task at the moment.

36
00:02:30,870 --> 00:02:34,920
Last week we closed a serious gap in the code:
instant acceleration.

37
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:41,500
Next, we’ll be targeting the most widely-spread
cheats out there — immortality and jump hack.

38
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:46,820
When working on anti-cheat mechanisms, we
do our best to make sure the system doesn’t

39
00:02:46,829 --> 00:02:48,540
suffer from false triggers.

40
00:02:48,540 --> 00:02:54,160
Unfortunately, these are always possible,
usually due to unstable internet connections.

41
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:59,200
That’s why we’ve decided that, in a number
of cases, an anti-cheat trigger will lead

42
00:02:59,209 --> 00:03:04,289
not to a kick from the battle, but to instant
self-destruction of a tank.

43
00:03:04,289 --> 00:03:09,840
This will make cheating pointless, however,
in the case of a false trigger, a player will

44
00:03:09,849 --> 00:03:14,209
not be losing his place in a battle, and any
earned crystals.

45
00:03:14,209 --> 00:03:19,459
As for punishment for current violations — our
technical support blocks hundreds of cheater

46
00:03:19,459 --> 00:03:20,779
accounts daily.

47
00:03:20,780 --> 00:03:25,740
If you see a cheater in battle, record him
on video and send it to the support.

48
00:03:25,749 --> 00:03:28,129
He will be dealt with quickly.

49
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:35,700
Adnan is asking whether there will be changes
to the game’s balance, as some turrets are

50
00:03:35,709 --> 00:03:37,249
way too powerful.

51
00:03:37,540 --> 00:03:42,340
Yes, we are planning changes in balance, which,
by the way, will be rolled out next week!

52
00:03:42,349 --> 00:03:47,529
It’s been a while since we introduced Hammer
and Vulcan, and now we finally have all the

53
00:03:47,529 --> 00:03:51,409
data we need to properly analyze the current
balance of the game.

54
00:03:51,409 --> 00:03:55,799
Players have learned how to use Hammer and
Vulcan effectively, so these turrets have

55
00:03:55,799 --> 00:03:58,099
become more dangerous than originally planned.

56
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:04,760
Soon, we will slightly increase Vulcan’s
self-damage and Hammer’s cone of pellets.

57
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:11,059
These will not be the main changes, as the
balance will actually be corrected by strengthening

58
00:04:11,059 --> 00:04:12,619
all the other turrets.

59
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:20,180
Tanks heated up by Firebird will be suffering
more damage, while the turret’s basic damage

60
00:04:20,180 --> 00:04:22,240
will decrease slightly.

61
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:28,660
Isida’s beam will be affecting tanks at
longer distances, but the area of effect of

62
00:04:28,660 --> 00:04:31,260
the turret will become narrower.

63
00:04:31,260 --> 00:04:37,040
Freeze will be dealing more damage. It will
be freezing enemy turrets better, while slowing

64
00:04:37,050 --> 00:04:40,259
down enemy hulls will not be as effective.

65
00:04:40,259 --> 00:04:45,470
Previously, turrets and hulls were affected
equally, but now the freezing effect for different

66
00:04:45,470 --> 00:04:48,199
parts of an enemy tank will be calculated
differently.

67
00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:54,759
Also, Firebird, Freeze and Isida will have
their reloading times boosted.

68
00:04:54,759 --> 00:05:02,879
Twins and Ricochet’s projectiles will travel
faster. Rico’s balls will also travel further.

69
00:05:02,889 --> 00:05:09,860
Smoky will be dealing more damage with standard
shots, while critical damage will decrease.

70
00:05:09,860 --> 00:05:15,129
The turret will become more predictable, and
it will be easier to use effectively.

71
00:05:15,129 --> 00:05:21,300
The rate of fire for Thunder will decrease,
but each shot will be dealing more damage.

72
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:27,000
Splash damage radius will be increased, while
damage inside the radius will be decreasing

73
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,840
more smoothly, depending on how far the target
is from the center of the blast.

74
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:39,620
The legendary Railgun will be reloading faster,
while Shaft will be dealing more damage in

75
00:05:39,620 --> 00:05:41,080
arcade mode.

76
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:48,320
Damage per minute output when shooting without
sights will get very close to that in sniping mode.

77
00:05:48,940 --> 00:05:54,260
As for hulls, all medium and heavy ones will
receive a boost to steering,

78
00:05:54,260 --> 00:05:56,419
making them easier to maneuver.

79
00:05:56,419 --> 00:06:03,279
Additionally, Viking and Hunter will swap
weight. Viking will become heavier than Hunter.

80
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:07,820
In the near future, we’ll hold an open testing
for the updated weapons. Follow the news!

81
00:06:17,340 --> 00:06:18,940
Video of the week!

82
00:06:18,949 --> 00:06:24,469
Let’s watch the best clip you sent us since
the last episode of the V-LOG.

83
00:06:45,820 --> 00:06:48,500
That’s it for this V-LOG, guys.

84
00:06:48,509 --> 00:06:52,580
