Last Thursday, as promised, we updated the looks of the Vulcan turret. 8 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,120 The textures on the machine gun are now more detailed. 9 00:00:54,120 --> 00:01:00,860 They reflect more accurately the way it functions, and are more in line with the visual concept 10 00:01:00,860 --> 00:01:03,640 of the other equipment in Tanki. 11 00:01:04,540 --> 00:01:11,920 Lately, one of the most frequent questions has been “What will happen to eSports in TO?” 12 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:18,580 Things got so heated that some individuals even started creating fake screenshots. 13 00:01:18,580 --> 00:01:26,620 To all those who might be interested: We’ve given an official answer to that question on Tanki’s homepage. 14 00:01:26,620 --> 00:01:30,300 The link to the explanation is in the V-LOG description. 15 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:38,500 A new episode of the V-LOG brings another piece of info on the new Tanki Online. 16 00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:47,020 Today, we’ll answer your most burning questions about the upcoming game, and dispel a couple of myths. 17 00:01:47,020 --> 00:01:47,920 Let s start! 18 00:01:53,460 --> 00:01:59,300 What will happen to the current version of the game once the new Tanki is launched? 19 00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:01,520 The current TO will be all right. 20 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:07,960 After launching the new game, we’ll continue supporting the Flash Tanki as long as people keep showing interest in it. 21 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,540 Here, it’s important to note that the New Tanki is not a replacement for the current one, 22 00:02:12,540 --> 00:02:14,460 but a completely new game. 23 00:02:14,460 --> 00:02:19,500 So, The Flash TO and The Unity TO will be existing at the same time. 24 00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:25,680 And yeah, we do not plan on stopping development of the old Tanki and are already preparing 25 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,360 a list of major changes... But more on that later! 26 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,940 Will the new Tanki be a browser game or will I need to download the client? 27 00:02:34,940 --> 00:02:38,360 The new Tanki will be a client game during the testing. 28 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,540 This means it will be launched from the desktop, rather than from the browser. 29 00:02:42,540 --> 00:02:50,420 As for the game’s final version, we are aiming at making it available both in browsers and as a downloadable client, 30 00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:53,640 so that every tanker can pick the option he prefers. 31 00:02:53,640 --> 00:03:00,960 Last week you stated the system requirements for the new game. Does it mean it won’t work on weaker hardware? 32 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,140 The system requirements we stated in the last V-LOG are recommended ones. 33 00:03:05,140 --> 00:03:08,600 Tankers will be able to play the game on weaker systems as well. 34 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:14,520 And yeah, the game will be constantly optimized, so the system requirements might go even lower over time. 35 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:22,380 Will the new game’s physics model be the same as in the current TO or different? What will happen to parkour? 36 00:03:22,380 --> 00:03:27,820 Our task is to recreate the current physics in the new game as faithfully as possible. 37 00:03:27,820 --> 00:03:34,120 So, Parkour will still be in the future Tanki, but might be slightly different to what the players are used to. 38 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,420 Will the new Tanki include a clan system? 39 00:03:37,420 --> 00:03:40,020 There will be a clan system in the new game. 40 00:03:40,020 --> 00:03:44,520 Players will be able to create clans and sign up for tournaments, all inside the game. 41 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:51,140 If you join a team, its tag will be stated next to your nickname AND you’ll be able to put the clan’s logo on your tank. 42 00:03:51,140 --> 00:03:55,680 Will the new game have Gold Boxes? What will they look like? 43 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,300 Each dropped gold box brings a bit of madness to a battle. 44 00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:04,240 We really like that, so gold boxes will be in the new game as well. 45 00:04:04,250 --> 00:04:11,010 The drop mechanics will remain the same, but the looks will be all-new. Same for supply boxes. 46 00:04:11,010 --> 00:04:16,000 Will the prices of equipment be different compared to the current TO? 47 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,360 The prices will change. Actually, the whole economy of the new game will be totally different. 48 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:28,980 The only thing in common between the two games will be earning crystals, all the rest will be new. 49 00:04:28,980 --> 00:04:35,280 The new economy will first appear in the game during the open testing and will be constantly adjusted. 50 00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:39,340 Right now, it’s being actively developed by the game design team. 51 00:04:39,340 --> 00:04:45,960 Of course, it’s a huge thing, so we’ll give more info on the new Tanki’s economics in a separate video. 52 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,660 What languages will the new Tanki Online support? 53 00:04:49,660 --> 00:04:53,540 During the closed testing, Tanki will be supported in English and Russian. 54 00:04:53,540 --> 00:04:59,080 As for the open test, at that stage TO will also include all the remaining supported languages. 55 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,520 If needed, more language versions might follow. 56 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,480 Will the new game support voice communication? What will happen to chats? 57 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,800 For now, we’re not planning on including a voice communication feature in the game, 58 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,760 but it will include chat channels. 59 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,720 Game chats will not be segmented according to servers, 60 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,560 but according to what aspect of the game you want to discuss. 61 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,620 By the way, the system will also support private 1to1 talks between tankers. 62 00:05:24,620 --> 00:05:29,960 Will I be able to transfer my account from the current Tanki to the new one? 63 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:37,140 The decision on whether current accounts will be moved or not will be taken based on the data we collect during the testing. 64 00:05:37,140 --> 00:05:42,320 Another factor will be the final shape of the new Tanki’s economy, which is still being developed. 65 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,520 Anyway, once we have the definitive answer to the question, it will be announced. 66 00:05:50,340 --> 00:05:55,720 We’re right in the thick of the Masters of Parkour contest. 67 00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:01,269 More than 500 entries across 4 communities have already rolled in, 68 00:06:01,269 --> 00:06:05,089 and we’re pleasantly surprised by many of them. 69 00:06:05,089 --> 00:06:10,539 Remember, you still have 2 and a half weeks till the end of the competition. 70 00:06:10,539 --> 00:06:15,280 So, take your time and nail each of your tricks to perfection. 71 00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:15,840 Good luck! 72 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:27,260 Today’s guest on Pro’s Advice is not really a guest… he’s more of a resident personality on our V-LOGs. 73 00:06:27,260 --> 00:06:35,060 It’s Holy Hero Alex from Epic Guards, and he’ll be teaching us how to play properly with Freeze. 74 00:06:35,060 --> 00:06:35,780 Check it out! 75 00:06:36,510 --> 00:06:42,900 Hey guys, this is Holy Hero Alex. Today’s advice is about playing with Freeze. 76 00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:44,580 Let’s start! 77 00:06:44,580 --> 00:06:49,920 Freeze is a versatile turret, suitable for both defence and offence. 78 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,140 When defending the flag, the best hull to go with Freeze is Mammoth. 79 00:06:54,140 --> 00:07:01,680 Contrary to what many think, the best place for this tank is not on the flag, but behind cover somewhere close. 80 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:09,320 This way you’ll be able to control the flag and at the same time stay safe from the enemy team’s long range turrets. 81 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:15,420 Of course, Mammoth is a very specialized hull, and it’s not suitable for every situation. 82 00:07:15,420 --> 00:07:20,580 If you’re not sure whether it’s the best choice for a specific map, pick Viking. 83 00:07:20,580 --> 00:07:25,100 It’s still a good choice and is a lot more versatile. 84 00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:30,840 Finally, remember that your role as defender with Freeze is not to destroy enemies 85 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,240 but to weaken them so your teammates can finish them off. 86 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,700 The more opponents you slow down with your icy stream, the better. 87 00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:44,420 As for attacking, it’s very simple — Wasp and Freeze. 88 00:07:44,420 --> 00:07:49,230 I believe this combination to be the most powerful attacking force in TO. 89 00:07:49,230 --> 00:07:54,070 Wasp gives you insane dynamics, while Freeze makes the difference in speed 90 00:07:54,070 --> 00:07:57,140 between you and your opponents even bigger. 91 00:07:57,140 --> 00:08:03,160 Let’s say your task is to steal the enemy flag and there’s an inexperienced Mammoth and Freeze on the base. 92 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,880 What you need to do is closely watch its turret. 93 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:14,620 When it’s facing away from you, enter the base, pick up the flag, freeze the enemy tank and escape. Easy! 94 00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:20,740 And of course, the most popular Freeze technique — the point is to constantly freeze the enemy 95 00:08:20,740 --> 00:08:25,920 while running circles around him and staying out of his line of fire. 96 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:32,480 If you use a light hull, you can pull off this trick even against several slower hulls. 97 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,720 And finally, one more trick when playing with Freeze, which also works with Firebird. 98 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,480 You can damage enemies through destroyed tanks that haven’t disappeared yet, 99 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,080 while the enemy won’t be able to get you. 100 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:52,240 This way you can deal damage to an opponent for 3 and a half seconds without suffering any return damage, 101 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:58,760 and that’s up to 240 points of damage in case of a fully upgraded Freeze M3! 102 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:04,620 That’s it, this was Holy Hero Alex. Play Freeze like a pro and good luck! 103 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,220 Video of the week! 104 00:09:17,220 --> 00:09:25,380 Let’s check out the video with the best Railgun shot and congratulate it’s author for winning 40 000 crystals! 105 00:09:46,670 --> 00:09:55,480 By the way, starting from next week, we are increasing the prize for the video of the week to 50 000 crystals. 106 00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:00,620 That’s 10 thousand more reasons to send us a cool action video. 107 00:10:00,620 --> 00:10:05,260 And by the way, the topic for this week is stealing an enemy flag. 108 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:16,420 The second week of September is approaching fast, and that can only mean one thing — Tanker’s Day! 109 00:10:16,420 --> 00:10:19,880 Of course, we’ll celebrate it to the fullest. 110 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:27,880 The detailed plan for the event will be posted on TO’s homepage on Wednesday, the 9th of September. 111 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,120 And if you are watching us from Brazil, during the same days, 112 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:38,720 we’ll also be celebrating Brazil’s Independence Day with a number of unique events! 113 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:39,660 Don’t miss it! 114 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,620 That’s it for this week, tankers! 115 00:10:44,620 --> 00:10:50,700 Chill your enemies with Freeze, go nuts in the Masters of Parkour contest, 116 00:10:50,700 --> 00:10:54,520 and start warming up for some awesome celebrations! 117 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,920 As of course, hit the LIKE button if you loved this episode. 118 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,920 See you in 7 days![]
