00:00:16,109 --> 00:00:17,310
Hello tankers!

2
00:00:17,310 --> 00:00:26,140
This week in TO turned out to be really intense,
so this fresh episode of the V-LOG is packed

3
00:00:26,140 --> 00:00:27,820
with exciting news.

4
00:00:27,820 --> 00:00:33,989
In today’s episode we’ll be reviewing
Halloween celebrations in TO and giving you

5
00:00:33,989 --> 00:00:37,219
a closer look at hulls in Tanki X.

6
00:00:37,219 --> 00:00:43,399
We’ll also be sharing info on how to organize
a Tanki contest yourself!

7
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:44,399
Let’s go!

8
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:52,380
Let’s start with the Halloween celebrations,
which were held in Tanki last Saturday.

9
00:00:52,390 --> 00:00:58,920
And looking back at it after a week, it becomes
clear that this was one of the best events

10
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,780
in Tanki ever!

11
00:01:00,780 --> 00:01:09,899
In 24 hours of celebrations, tankers spent
a total of 196 gaming years in the game and

12
00:01:09,899 --> 00:01:15,829
caught a mind-blowing 440 thousand Halloween
gold boxes.

13
00:01:15,829 --> 00:01:20,600
And catching this number of golds usually
takes two weeks!

14
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:27,920
Of course, we MUST mention the best gold hunter
of that day — a tanker called Ti-To.

15
00:01:27,930 --> 00:01:37,640
He managed to catch an unbelievable 195 golds,
and received a tank worth 1 million crystals

16
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,720
as prize — the Viking and Thunder XT.

17
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,740
The Brazilian community also has its hero.

18
00:01:45,740 --> 00:01:52,680
He caught 61 gold boxes and was rewarded with
XT versions of Hornet and Railgun.

19
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,300
Now, about a recent change to Tanki Online.

20
00:01:59,310 --> 00:02:06,939
We have just updated the Premium Accounts
feature: from now on, its owners get a 100%

21
00:02:06,939 --> 00:02:12,299
bonus to crystals earned instead of the previous
50%.

22
00:02:12,299 --> 00:02:17,519
As for the speed of earning experience points,
it has remain unchanged.

23
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,580
Last Tuesday Tanki learned to speak one more
language.

24
00:02:23,590 --> 00:02:29,660
We launched the Polish version of the game,
complete with full in-game translation, as

25
00:02:29,660 --> 00:02:35,660
well as dedicated servers where all players
from Poland are sent by default.

26
00:02:35,660 --> 00:02:43,280
So, congratulations to all the Polish tankers
and good luck to our new community manager Kamil.

27
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:51,310
We continue to keep you updated on the development
of Tanki X.

28
00:02:51,310 --> 00:02:56,370
Today’s topic is something that will definitely
get you excited…

29
00:02:56,370 --> 00:02:57,110
Hulls!

30
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:09,300
In a little over 2 months, we’ve already
told you about a number of components of the

31
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:15,730
upcoming Tanki X: its maps, physics engine,
graphics and even sounds…

32
00:03:15,730 --> 00:03:22,800
Of course, we decided to keep the most interesting
info for dessert. In the next episode we’ll

33
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,080
be telling you about the turrets.

34
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,300
As for today, it s all about the hulls!

35
00:03:28,300 --> 00:03:34,820
As with other aspects of Tanki X, our main
task was to bring hulls to an entirely new

36
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:40,600
level visually, but at the same time keep
them absolutely recognizable.

37
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,160
Deciding on the looks of the hulls was not
easy.

38
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:49,440
What you can see in the teaser and on the
promo site of Tanki X is the result of months

39
00:03:49,470 --> 00:03:51,200
of trial and error.

40
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,310
These tanks were preceded by other, much more
futuristic models, which we then scrapped

41
00:03:56,340 --> 00:04:02,040
— they all looked pretty much the same and
didn’t resemble the tanks from TO closely enough.

42
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:08,480
So, it was decided to restart the work on
the appearance of hulls from scratch, mainly

43
00:04:08,489 --> 00:04:13,780
considering models from TO and their key visual
features.

44
00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:21,329
As a result, all hulls in the new game are
100% recognizable, but the same time much,

45
00:04:21,329 --> 00:04:23,190
much more advanced visually.

46
00:04:23,190 --> 00:04:29,979
It’s enough to say that hulls in TO are
made of about 130 polygons, while in the new

47
00:04:29,979 --> 00:04:33,839
game their number can go up to 7000.

48
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,389
The difference is obvious!

49
00:04:36,389 --> 00:04:42,400
By the way, the videos and screenshots display
standard tank models — these can be compared

50
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,619
to M0 in TO.

51
00:04:44,619 --> 00:04:49,119
Just like in TO , the new game will still
include 4 versions of looks for each hull,

52
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,080
closely tied to its parameters.

53
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,699
It’s too early to speak about how the more
advanced versions will look, but the work

54
00:04:55,699 --> 00:04:57,599
on them is already in progress.

55
00:04:58,100 --> 00:05:04,139
The feel you get from these hulls will be
on an all-new level, thanks to smaller, more

56
00:05:04,139 --> 00:05:06,270
subtle things as well.

57
00:05:06,270 --> 00:05:11,610
One of these is the so-called “soft tracks”,
which will be changing their geometry when

58
00:05:11,610 --> 00:05:16,439
driving over curbs, railroads and other small
obstacles.

59
00:05:16,439 --> 00:05:22,210
Additionally, hulls will be interacting with
surfaces in a more realistic way.

60
00:05:22,210 --> 00:05:28,240
You’ll see dust when driving on tarmac,
and dirt when moving on ground — in short,

61
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,219
the effect will depend on the surface.

62
00:05:31,219 --> 00:05:36,529
And if you hit a wall or other tank at a high
speed, this collision will be accompanied

63
00:05:36,529 --> 00:05:39,929
with sparks and a distinctive metal hit.

64
00:05:39,929 --> 00:05:44,660
And probably the most unusual feature — supply
animations.

65
00:05:44,669 --> 00:05:51,099
Activating a double armor or speed boost will
be affecting your tank’s looks directly.

66
00:05:51,099 --> 00:05:57,089
DA’s indicator is armor plates covering
the tank, while an active Nitro will be displaying

67
00:05:57,089 --> 00:05:59,749
a heated engine compartment.

68
00:05:59,749 --> 00:06:04,229
The work on the new hulls’ visuals is almost
completed.

69
00:06:04,229 --> 00:06:10,999
Now our main task is to recreate each tank’s
drive feel as detailed as possible.

70
00:06:10,999 --> 00:06:16,259
And that is in the hands of our game designers.
Let’s wish them the best of luck!

71
00:06:20,460 --> 00:06:24,760
Pro’s Advice is back with something quite
unusual.

72
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,040
Today’s guest is a Tanki youtuber Aflapoid.

73
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:34,080
And he’ll be telling us how to properly
set up a Save The Gold Box event.

74
00:06:34,089 --> 00:06:35,729
Let’s check it out!

75
00:06:35,729 --> 00:06:41,929
Hey guys, this is Aflapoid. Today we’ll
talk about organizing a Save The Gold event

76
00:06:41,929 --> 00:06:45,050
— a sort of a battle mode invented by players.

77
00:06:45,050 --> 00:06:50,779
If you want to start a fan group about TO
or simply have fun with your friends, this

78
00:06:50,779 --> 00:06:52,419
is what you need.

79
00:06:52,419 --> 00:06:54,139
Let’s start!

80
00:06:54,139 --> 00:06:57,360
But first of all, what is Save The Gold?

81
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:04,080
It is an event where there’s one or several
gold boxes, its defenders and attackers.

82
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:10,129
The defender’s mission is to keep the enemy
from catching the gold, while the attacker’s

83
00:07:10,129 --> 00:07:12,869
task is to capture the box.

84
00:07:12,869 --> 00:07:16,439
The event itself consists of 4 stages.

85
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:19,409
Waiting till the gold box is dropped.

86
00:07:19,409 --> 00:07:21,899
Mining the approaches to the box.

87
00:07:21,899 --> 00:07:24,959
Inviting participants into the battle.

88
00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:28,300
And holding on for as long as you can.

89
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:34,760
Save The Gold is basically suitable for any
arena, but some are better than others.

90
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:43,680
Garder, Zone, Camp and Short Bridge are good
choices, while Sandal, Edinburgh and Boombox

91
00:07:43,689 --> 00:07:45,349
are perfect.

92
00:07:45,349 --> 00:07:49,509
After choosing the map, gather the participants
and create a battle.

93
00:07:49,509 --> 00:07:55,699
Usually it’s PRO battle in TDM mode for
999 minutes.

94
00:07:55,699 --> 00:08:00,059
Of course it should be private, without the
ability to change equipment.

95
00:08:00,059 --> 00:08:04,249
It’s also recommended that you disable auto-balance.

96
00:08:04,249 --> 00:08:10,199
Whether you want to enable micro-upgrades
or not is up to you. This usually depends

97
00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:12,129
on equipment used.

98
00:08:12,129 --> 00:08:18,360
And finally, cooldowns. These are usually
disabled to make it more fun!

99
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:23,469
Getting the Gold box at the drop zone is good,
but it’s only half the work.

100
00:08:23,469 --> 00:08:27,860
Now, the organizers need to choose the right
equipment.

101
00:08:27,860 --> 00:08:32,800
This should be done before planting mines,
as you won’t have a chance to switch weapons

102
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,659
later because any mines you plant will disappear
once you leave.

103
00:08:37,659 --> 00:08:42,180
When choosing your equipment as a defender,
always consider the map size.

104
00:08:42,180 --> 00:08:47,089
Personally, I think that Vulcan on a heavy
hull is the best choice.

105
00:08:47,089 --> 00:08:52,690
As for paints, you will need protection against
Hammer, as it’s the most popular turret

106
00:08:52,690 --> 00:08:59,550
for attackers, thanks to its high damage per
shot and ability to get on top of teammates.

107
00:08:59,550 --> 00:09:05,930
Additionally, make sure the defenders team
has at least one Isida — you’ll need a

108
00:09:05,930 --> 00:09:07,529
lot of healing.

109
00:09:07,529 --> 00:09:14,329
Now, about mining. When planting mines, always
make sure you’ll be able to destroy a Wasp

110
00:09:14,329 --> 00:09:19,470
or a Hornet — these are the most popular
attacking hulls.

111
00:09:19,470 --> 00:09:24,839
As for the battle itself, the main thing is
monitoring the map, staying in touch with

112
00:09:24,839 --> 00:09:29,339
teammates and watching for tanks that haven’t
materialized yet.

113
00:09:29,339 --> 00:09:35,379
They are the main danger since they are able
to de-mine larger areas and being able to

114
00:09:35,379 --> 00:09:37,719
catch the gold unexpectedly.

115
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:43,240
That’s all for today, this was Aflapoid.
Play Save the Gold, it’s a lot of fun.

116
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,080
Good luck!

117
00:09:46,780 --> 00:09:53,500
Video of the week! Let’s watch the best
Thunder clip we received since last episode!

118
00:10:15,839 --> 00:10:19,639
The topic for this week is Tanki Parade.

119
00:10:19,639 --> 00:10:20,439
Good luck!

120
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:30,920
That’s all tankers! Watch V-LOGs every week
to stay updated on everything that is Tanki.

121
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,740
See you next Friday![]
