1
00:00:16,059 --> 00:00:17,840
Hello tankers!

2
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:24,040
The last Tanki V-LOG for the year of 2015 is on air.

3
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:29,380
In today’s episode, we’ll be naming the
winners of 3 contests.

4
00:00:29,380 --> 00:00:38,940
Plus, we’ll be looking back at 2014 in TO
and telling you more about the New Year goodies.

5
00:00:38,940 --> 00:00:39,800
Let’s go!

6
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:46,860
The last couple of weeks saw the conclusion of a tournament and 3 contests.

7
00:00:46,860 --> 00:00:48,960
Let s review everything!

8
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:56,580
First of all, the 3STYLE tournament has ended…
with quite an unexpected showdown!

9
00:00:56,589 --> 00:01:04,120
In the semi-finals, the absolute favorites
— Epics and VIP — lost to underdogs.

10
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:11,140
So, in their place, Invincible and Vavilon
were the contenders for the championship title.

11
00:01:11,140 --> 00:01:18,250
In the end, Vavilon came out victorious, and
we congratulate them for winning lots of crystals

12
00:01:18,250 --> 00:01:21,090
and a set of Acid paints.

13
00:01:21,090 --> 00:01:22,420
Well done, guys!

14
00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:30,079
We also concluded our Postcard Contest on
Instagram.

15
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:36,579
The authors of the best entries have already
received 50 000 crystals each, and...

16
00:01:36,580 --> 00:01:37,540
Here they are!

17
00:01:53,220 --> 00:01:57,700
Our next stop is 15 seconds to the New Year.

18
00:01:57,710 --> 00:02:03,359
We received several hundreds of entries, which
is a really good result!

19
00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:10,569
The authors of the best 3 videos received
lots of crystals, premium subscriptions, as

20
00:02:10,569 --> 00:02:14,459
well as branded Tanki T-shirts and mugs,

21
00:02:14,459 --> 00:02:19,659
while the winner of the top prize got a Dream
Tank on top of all that.

22
00:02:19,660 --> 00:02:21,120
Congratulations!

23
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,459
Of course, it’s not just 3 winners.

24
00:02:24,459 --> 00:02:30,530
Many tankers received consolation prizes in
the form of 30 000 crystals.

25
00:02:30,530 --> 00:02:34,870
You can find their names and videos on the
TO homepage.

26
00:02:34,870 --> 00:02:36,250
The link is below.

27
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:43,760
And now, probably what the majority of you
are most eager to hear — the results of

28
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,480
the V-LOG contest, with several thousands
of participants.

29
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:55,640
Just as a reminder: the task was to keep finding
hidden keywords in V-LOGs, and sending them

30
00:02:55,650 --> 00:02:58,569
to us via the special form.

31
00:02:58,569 --> 00:03:03,720
Each correct answer gave you a certain number
of points. The faster you answered, the more

32
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,909
points you received.

33
00:03:05,909 --> 00:03:12,900
In the end, the tanker with the sharpest eye
and the fastest hand was SHOAIB.ZAFAR.

34
00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:19,560
He, and the other players who made it to the
Top 10, received any turret and hull combo

35
00:03:19,569 --> 00:03:24,209
available by rank, and 3 months of Premium
Account.

36
00:03:24,209 --> 00:03:25,369
Well done!

37
00:03:25,370 --> 00:03:34,190
As promised, all those tankers who made it to the Top 100 have already received 20 000 crystals each.

38
00:03:34,190 --> 00:03:39,250
So, there you go, a nice warm up for the New
Year quest!

39
00:03:42,020 --> 00:03:49,140
Our series of videos on the history of Tanki
Online is coming to its conclusion.

40
00:03:49,150 --> 00:03:58,000
Today, in the last V-LOG for 2015, we’ll
be looking back at the year of 2014.

41
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:58,760
Enjoy!

42
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:08,019
2014 in Tanki Online wasn’t just a year
of in-game changes, it was a year of intense

43
00:04:08,019 --> 00:04:13,120
work with the players, both existing and new.

44
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:20,109
The year started with an update that affected
basically every tanker — in the end of January

45
00:04:20,109 --> 00:04:22,810
most maps were reworked.

46
00:04:22,810 --> 00:04:28,060
In addition to that, the update marked the
return of the Madness map.

47
00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:34,500
The next major thing wasn’t technically
a feature — Tanki Online moved into a new

48
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:37,580
data center located in Europe.

49
00:04:37,580 --> 00:04:44,250
Thanks to a wider channel, this improved the
lag situation for many tankers.

50
00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:50,580
In March, tankers received the ability to
change their equipped turrets, hulls and paints

51
00:04:50,580 --> 00:04:52,840
without leaving a battle.

52
00:04:52,840 --> 00:05:00,280
At first, changing items of a certain category
was only possible once every 15 minutes, but

53
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:04,240
then this cooldown was decreased to 1 minute.

54
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:10,539
On April 10, the Brazilian version of Tanki
was launched.

55
00:05:10,539 --> 00:05:18,110
To celebrate this, the Rio map was introduced,
alongside with a very special contest — the

56
00:05:18,110 --> 00:05:25,819
first team to reach the top of the Rio skyscraper
would be rewarded with one million crystals.

57
00:05:25,819 --> 00:05:31,810
In less than a day, the peak was conquered
by tankers from the German Tanki Tutorials team.

58
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,840
Summer turned out to be extremely intense.

59
00:05:36,849 --> 00:05:43,599
TO celebrated its 5th birthday, Isida and
Repair Kit were given the ability to remove

60
00:05:43,599 --> 00:05:50,419
burning and freezing effects, CP mode was
reworked, while game designers improved the

61
00:05:50,419 --> 00:05:54,939
way the funds are split between tankers in
battles.

62
00:05:54,940 --> 00:06:04,240
2014 is also remembered for many offline events.
In spring, Tanki took part in OGIC, and held

63
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,780
a tournament in Yekaterinburg.

64
00:06:06,780 --> 00:06:14,599
Then, in summer we visited GamesCom in Cologne,
and in Autumn — BGS in Sao Paulo.

65
00:06:14,599 --> 00:06:21,009
The last big offline thing for the year was
the event in Novosibirsk, which also included

66
00:06:21,009 --> 00:06:23,229
the Star Series finals.

67
00:06:23,229 --> 00:06:28,480
Tankers battled for a prize pool of 29 thousand
USD.

68
00:06:28,490 --> 00:06:32,330
The event attracted lots of visitors.

69
00:06:32,330 --> 00:06:41,419
September 28 marked the release of smart cooldowns,
which made the use of supplies much more tactical,

70
00:06:41,419 --> 00:06:45,789
and added the much-needed balance to TO’s
gameplay.

71
00:06:45,789 --> 00:06:50,580
The second major change in Autumn was the
change in crystal boxes.

72
00:06:50,580 --> 00:06:59,610
On November 18 boxes were given different
values from 1 to 100 crystals, instead of

73
00:06:59,610 --> 00:07:02,509
the usual, standard 10 crystals.

74
00:07:02,509 --> 00:07:07,430
The intent of the developers was to deal with
the issue of farming.

75
00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:14,240
In the end, to reach this goal, crystal boxes
were removed completely, and all the crystals

76
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:21,740
from them were moved to the battle fund, which
was given a 50% increase in growth speed.

77
00:07:21,740 --> 00:07:26,750
These changes were received well by the majority
of tankers.

78
00:07:26,750 --> 00:07:34,909
October saw the launch of a series of books
based on Tanki Online, sadly, only in Russian,

79
00:07:34,909 --> 00:07:41,860
while in November, TO received the Runet prize
for the 2nd year in a row, for being the best

80
00:07:41,860 --> 00:07:44,099
game on the Russian Internet.

81
00:07:44,099 --> 00:07:50,580
At the end of the year, in December, developers
weren’t even thinking of relaxing before

82
00:07:50,580 --> 00:07:57,889
the holidays: several maps were given night
mode versions, format battles were released,

83
00:07:57,889 --> 00:08:01,369
and of course, the Hammer turret was introduced.

84
00:08:01,369 --> 00:08:08,780
2014 ended with New Year celebrations, where
in addition to discounts and special gold

85
00:08:08,780 --> 00:08:17,060
boxes, tankers were also given the chance
to rent a unique tank — Hornet and Railgun XT.

86
00:08:17,060 --> 00:08:23,100
All in all, the year was rich in juicy updates
and memorable community events.

87
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:34,740
Video of the Week! As always, let’s check
out the best TO action clip since last Friday!

88
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:12,029
New Year celebrations have come to Tanki Online.

89
00:09:12,029 --> 00:09:20,810
The game is already filled with tankers wearing the red holiday paint, 2016 crystal gold boxes

90
00:09:20,810 --> 00:09:26,760
are raining down on the arenas, players
are giving each other New Year gifts, and

91
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:35,029
of course, servers are full of Assault battles — in other words, the celebrations are in full swing.

92
00:09:35,029 --> 00:09:37,749
And now, about the discounts!

93
00:09:37,749 --> 00:09:45,310
Today, December 25, we’re giving a 25% bonus on top of every

94
00:09:45,310 --> 00:09:50,690
crystal purchase, while tomorrow, the first
garage sale kicks in.

95
00:09:50,690 --> 00:10:00,250
On Saturday, December 26, all turrets in the game will be at a discount, from 30 to 50% off.

96
00:10:00,250 --> 00:10:08,779
The next day, on December 27, hulls will receive
a similar sale, with a different price cut

97
00:10:08,779 --> 00:10:10,380
for each tank.

98
00:10:10,380 --> 00:10:12,680
But, that’s not all.

99
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:22,139
On December 28, you’ll be able to buy paints
at special prices, while on the 29th and 30th,

100
00:10:22,139 --> 00:10:28,359
all micro upgrades and speed ups will be available
at 33% off.

101
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:34,520
So, there’s lots of exciting stuff ahead.
Make sure you join the celebrations!

102
00:10:37,140 --> 00:10:38,840
That’s it guys!

103
00:10:38,850 --> 00:10:46,510
The V-LOG is leaving for its traditional winter
holiday. We’ll be back on January 15.

104
00:10:46,510 --> 00:10:53,560
Don’t be sad, there are a lot of exciting
things to do — get discounted gear, play

105
00:10:53,560 --> 00:11:00,639
TO all through the holidays, and don’t forget
to take part in THE GAME. Our New Year quest

106
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:03,959
will start on January 3.

107
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,900
So, have a nice time, tankers. Take care![]
