00:00:16,180 --> 00:00:20,120
Hello tankers! The V-LOG is on air!

2
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:26,480
In today s episode, we’ll be telling you
about the final stage of the 3style tournament,

3
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:34,980
the year 2013 in TO, and all the goodies we’ve
prepared for the New Year’s celebrations.

4
00:00:34,980 --> 00:00:35,960
Let’s start!

5
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:45,200
Last weekend we held a quiz that was meant
to test your knowledge of Tanki Online rules.

6
00:00:45,210 --> 00:00:48,530
And by the looks of it, you definitely enjoyed
it.

7
00:00:48,530 --> 00:00:54,620
Almost 200 000 tankers took part… and that
is A LOT!

8
00:00:54,620 --> 00:00:56,170
Thats  really a lot...

9
00:00:56,180 --> 00:01:03,320
Now, some info for those of you who still
haven’t taken part in our New Year contests

10
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,550
— 15 Seconds to the New Year, and Tanki
Postcard.

11
00:01:07,550 --> 00:01:15,830
We’ll keep accepting your videos and postcards
till 9 am UTC on December 23rd.

12
00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:21,830
So, you don’t have much time, but it’s
more than enough to create a solid contest

13
00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:24,500
entry and send it to us.

14
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:27,160
Looking forward to your masterpieces...

15
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:27,980
Good luck!

16
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,920
It s time for some 3Style news!

17
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:40,700
This week it s coming directly from the tournament s
organizer — our Russian community manager

18
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:42,250
Dmitriy Nemtsev.

19
00:01:42,250 --> 00:01:50,409
The tournament is coming to an end, just 4 battles
left. The semi finals will be held today,

20
00:01:50,409 --> 00:01:51,560
December 18th.

21
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,900
The battle for the 3d place, and the grand
final will be held on December 20th.

22
00:01:56,900 --> 00:02:04,880
By the way, we are already planning a new, tandem tournament that will be held in early January.

23
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:05,920
Get ready!

24
00:02:08,380 --> 00:02:11,920
Ready for another hike back in time?

25
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:17,760
Let’s visit the year of 2013 in TO’s history.

26
00:02:18,730 --> 00:02:27,180
The year 2013 in TO is remembered mainly for
the sheer number of major in-game and technical

27
00:02:27,180 --> 00:02:33,799
updates — micro-upgrades, new physics, crystals
for new ranks, and many more.

28
00:02:33,799 --> 00:02:35,870
But… let’s keep it ordered.

29
00:02:35,870 --> 00:02:42,989
On January 28 Tanki was moved to a new server
platform, which optimized the server load,

30
00:02:42,989 --> 00:02:46,810
and, as a result, decreased the amount of
lag.

31
00:02:46,810 --> 00:02:50,620
It also made launching new updates easier.

32
00:02:50,620 --> 00:02:58,530
February 12 brought the legendary Update 123
— everything related to crystals was multiplied

33
00:02:58,530 --> 00:03:07,270
by 10 — the amount of crystals in boxes,
the prices in the garage, the size of daily gifts…

34
00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:12,959
Everything except funds — which were increased
by 5 times.

35
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,810
The change stirred quite a controversy, so
funds were further increased in April, and

36
00:03:18,810 --> 00:03:26,709
once again in 2014, which ultimately took
them above the original value.

37
00:03:26,709 --> 00:03:36,199
Spring of 2013 brought lots of in-game changes:
battle mode filters, dust from tracks, deep

38
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:39,290
shadows, the first product kits…

39
00:03:39,290 --> 00:03:46,720
It’s almost impossible to imagine today’s
Tanki Online without any of these features!

40
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:54,889
For many tankers, one of the brightest memories
from 2013 is Moon Silence — the map that

41
00:03:54,889 --> 00:03:58,639
was introduced to celebrate Cosmonautics Day.

42
00:03:58,639 --> 00:04:05,169
Thanks to its low gravity, it became a real
hit among TO’s players. It was initially

43
00:04:05,169 --> 00:04:11,160
intended to remain in the game, but sadly,
that was impossible.

44
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:17,810
Low gravity prevented the anti-cheat software
from effectively detecting the use of 3rd

45
00:04:17,810 --> 00:04:18,560
party software.

46
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:25,740
So in Autumn, a special event was held to
give a final farewell to the map.

47
00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:32,060
For entire week, special gold boxes were dropped
on the map, and tankers could buy a special

48
00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:35,280
commemorative paint — Moonwalker.

49
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:40,639
The main event for the summer was definitely
the friends system.

50
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:47,970
The update gave tankers an easy way to always
stay in touch and invite each other to battles,

51
00:04:47,970 --> 00:04:51,389
no matter which server they were on.

52
00:04:51,389 --> 00:04:58,430
Autumn marked the first ever offline tournament
for TO. The event was held in Perm, Russia

53
00:04:58,430 --> 00:05:01,569
— the home city of Tanki.

54
00:05:01,569 --> 00:05:08,210
More than 500 people gathered to meet the
developers, take part in giveaways, fight

55
00:05:08,210 --> 00:05:12,230
for the title of “strongest tanker in the
city”!

56
00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:20,950
November 21 marked another milestone — Tanki
Online won the Runet Prize as the best game.

57
00:05:20,950 --> 00:05:28,430
Celebrations were huge: discounts on turrets,
gifts for all tankers, and double battle funds

58
00:05:28,430 --> 00:05:30,870
for entire weekend.

59
00:05:30,870 --> 00:05:38,550
On December 11, the game was given a new physics
engine, which increased the overall dynamics

60
00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:41,550
and gave each hull its own character.

61
00:05:41,550 --> 00:05:51,349
But the real cherry on this 2013 update cake
was micro-upgrades — the most highly-anticipated

62
00:05:51,349 --> 00:05:53,439
update of the year.

63
00:05:53,439 --> 00:05:59,069
By the way, the system was meant to work differently
— there was a chance that an upgrade would

64
00:05:59,069 --> 00:06:01,509
fail and not be installed.

65
00:06:01,509 --> 00:06:06,309
Thankfully, that particular feature of MUs
was scrapped.

66
00:06:06,309 --> 00:06:12,960
Micro-upgrades were accompanied by two other
features: a rank up effect, which created

67
00:06:12,969 --> 00:06:18,759
a whole genre of Tanki videos, and crystal
bonuses given for ranking up.

68
00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:24,969
Of course, with the update, players received
crystals for all the ranks they had already

69
00:06:24,969 --> 00:06:26,139
achieved.

70
00:06:26,139 --> 00:06:33,449
For example, Generalissimos received a whopping
314 000 crystals!

71
00:06:33,449 --> 00:06:41,749
The year ended as it should have — with
a new year event that went on for 2 full weeks!

72
00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:49,639
Tankers enjoyed special gold boxes and discounts,
and stepped into the year of 2014, which was

73
00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:51,810
equally interesting in TO.

74
00:06:51,810 --> 00:06:54,050
But more on that later.

75
00:06:57,260 --> 00:06:59,120
Video of the Week!

76
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:06,660
Let’s watch the best clip we received, and
congratulate its author who gets 50 000 crystals!

77
00:07:23,819 --> 00:07:31,270
December is coming to an end and this can
only mean one thing — New Year celebrations

78
00:07:31,270 --> 00:07:33,719
are coming to Tanki Online!

79
00:07:33,719 --> 00:07:43,629
So, for 2,5 weeks, from December 25th to January
10th, the game will be featuring a record-breaking

80
00:07:43,629 --> 00:07:45,449
number of goodies.

81
00:07:45,449 --> 00:07:53,029
Firstly, a unique New Year map with an all-new
battle mode called Assault, where one team

82
00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:59,840
will be defending a base, while the other
will be doing their best to break into it.

83
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:06,379
Secondly, several unique daily missions with
increased difficulty and bigger rewards.

84
00:08:06,379 --> 00:08:15,059
Thirdly, gold boxes worth 2016 crystals, on
all maps in the game for all 17 days!

85
00:08:15,060 --> 00:08:21,900
Tankers will also be able to wish each other
a happy New Year by purchasing special gifts

86
00:08:21,909 --> 00:08:25,219
in their garages and sending them to each
other.

87
00:08:25,219 --> 00:08:31,129
What’s cool is that you’ll be able to
write your own personal message on each gift!

88
00:08:31,129 --> 00:08:39,200
Of course, there will be a ton of themed decorations:
2 paints, themed looks for the TO homepage

89
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:46,190
and your garage, flags, custom drop zone and
notification sound for the gold box…

90
00:08:46,190 --> 00:08:49,100
In other words, the full package!

91
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:55,380
We’ll also introduce a new XT tank that
you’ll be able to purchase in your garage

92
00:08:55,389 --> 00:09:01,410
with an active Premium account, or win as
a prize for a unique daily mission.

93
00:09:01,410 --> 00:09:07,899
On top of all that, THE GAME, which is our
traditional quest, will be held from the 3rd

94
00:09:07,899 --> 00:09:10,139
to the 7th of January.

95
00:09:10,139 --> 00:09:17,389
The most clever and fastest among you will
be rewarded with a dream tank, a branded T-shirt,

96
00:09:17,389 --> 00:09:19,540
and a 1000 of each supply.

97
00:09:19,540 --> 00:09:26,420
Of course, we’ll also hand out award supplies
to all those who complete the quest...

98
00:09:26,420 --> 00:09:30,199
But the faster you do it, the bigger the prize!

99
00:09:30,199 --> 00:09:36,019
And one last thing, something you are probably
wondering about right now…

100
00:09:36,019 --> 00:09:38,119
THERE WILL BE DISCOUNTS.

101
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,480
But be patient... we’ll tell you more about
them next week.

102
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,940
Follow the news!

103
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,520
That’s it, tankers!

104
00:09:48,529 --> 00:09:54,300
Get ready for the New Year celebrations in
TO. They will be epic!

105
