1 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,100 In past episodes of our Diary, we told you about the equipment upgrade system. 2 00:00:10,130 --> 00:00:12,809 Since then, we’ve changed some of the game’s terminology 3 00:00:12,809 --> 00:00:14,899 to make it clearer and more concise. 4 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,599 “Mastery level”, which is upgraded in battles, is now called “Mastery” 5 00:00:19,599 --> 00:00:22,159 The higher upgrade levels, which are bought with crystals, 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,40 are now called “Upgrades” 7 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,40 The term “Battle Level”, is now called “Mastery” 8 00:00:27,40 --> 00:00:31,799 and it indicates the level of mastery a user must have to participate in that battle. 9 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,300 We’ve also added ‘Experience’, ‘Mastery’, and ‘Upgrades’ progress bars. 10 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,900 For every 10 levels of upgrades, you will be given rewards. 11 00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:43,540 These can be supplies, skins, or other cool items. 12 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:44,900 What are “Skins”? 13 00:00:45,140 --> 00:00:51,230 “Tanki Online” players might know them as “Modification”, or M0, M1, M2, M3. 14 00:00:51,230 --> 00:00:57,190 As many of you already know, the upgrade system in Tanki X is different from that in Tanki Online 15 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,900 In essence, skins are an aesthetic improvement for your equipment. 16 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,340 They will change the appearance of your equipment as you upgrade it, 17 00:01:04,340 --> 00:01:06,860 and some of them might even be available for purchasing. 18 00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:12,580 What’s more, if we reach the milestone of 6 million tanks destroyed during the Closed Beta Quest, 19 00:01:12,580 --> 00:01:17,480 we’ll be adding a unique skin for the most popular hull in the Closed Beta phase 20 00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:20,639 The first batch of skins will be available very soon 21 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,860 and players will be able to see them for themselves as soon as they reach upgrade level 30. 22 00:01:25,860 --> 00:01:28,460 We’ve already started working on the next batch. 23 00:01:30,620 --> 00:01:35,140 Work on the Friends system continues, making it easier and more intuitive to use. 24 00:01:35,140 --> 00:01:37,940 You can now add a friend directly from the battle list. 25 00:01:37,940 --> 00:01:40,420 All you need to do is click on the green icon… 26 00:01:40,420 --> 00:01:44,900 which will take you to the user’s profile… where you can click “Add to Friends”. 27 00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:48,400 We’re also planning on expanding the functionality of the system. 28 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,400 For example, we’ll be adding a search bar that will allow you to search by nickname, 29 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,500 making it a lot faster for players to find each other 30 00:01:55,510 --> 00:01:58,670 and send friend requests, even to offline players. 31 00:01:58,670 --> 00:02:01,800 Of course we also plan on introducing a referral system, 32 00:02:01,810 --> 00:02:05,710 which will reward players for bringing their friends over to our game. 33 00:02:05,710 --> 00:02:09,30 More information will be available during the Open Beta phase. 34 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,640 As you might already know, during the past 2 months, 35 00:02:14,650 --> 00:02:19,60 our development team has been working almost exclusively on game optimization. 36 00:02:19,60 --> 00:02:21,860 We’re about to share with you the results of that work, 37 00:02:21,860 --> 00:02:24,769 what we’ve achieved, and what still needs to be fixed. 38 00:02:24,769 --> 00:02:27,750 After assessing the situation, we decided to split 39 00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:30,959 the computers of our testers into four groups. 40 00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:34,000 We optimized for each group, with the goal of making 41 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,70 the game as playable as possible on their systems. 42 00:02:37,70 --> 00:02:42,90 However, many players have computers that are below the minimum requirements of the game 43 00:02:42,90 --> 00:02:46,230 Of course, we still plan on supporting them, but it will take a while to achieve that. 44 00:02:46,580 --> 00:02:51,669 The developers continue to work on the performance of the cluster by connecting additional servers. 45 00:02:51,669 --> 00:02:56,869 In order to make this process efficient, they need to constantly have the maximum number of online players. 46 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,220 So, why is the game still lagging? 47 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,520 It may sound weird, but this is intentional. 48 00:03:02,530 --> 00:03:07,730 For example, If the servers are stable for two days, we will overload them on the fourth day. 49 00:03:07,940 --> 00:03:09,840 Working at maximum server load 50 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,360 allows us to identify and resolve a lot of issues 51 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,720 that would not appear under normal circumstances. 52 00:03:16,730 --> 00:03:21,49 Therefore, the servers might already start lagging on the third day. 53 00:03:21,260 --> 00:03:26,100 We conduct a lot of experiments of this kind, and as a result we are hoping to provide 54 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,420 a stable game that does not suffer from lag or other technical issues. 55 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,79 We are always gathering feedback through surveys, forums and social media. 56 00:03:35,80 --> 00:03:39,580 For example, a lot of players have complained that the brightness is to high, 57 00:03:39,590 --> 00:03:43,220 and that it hurts their eyes if they play for several hours straight. 58 00:03:43,220 --> 00:03:46,60 In an upcoming update we will introduce graphics settings 59 00:03:46,60 --> 00:03:50,420 that will allow players to customize these details according to their preference. 60 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:58,260 We are getting closer to the Open Beta Testing, and we’ll be announcing the official date very soon. 61 00:03:58,510 --> 00:04:03,230 Please note that the 8th of August is the deadline for reserving your  Tanki Online  nickname. 62 00:04:03,340 --> 00:04:07,169 If you want to play Tanki X with your Tanki Online nickname, 63 00:04:07,169 --> 00:04:09,769 now is the perfect time to reserve it. 64 00:04:09,780 --> 00:04:14,740 In the meantime we are working o n a brand new Tanki X website, and very soon, 65 00:04:14,740 --> 00:04:17,360 we’ll have a dedicated Customer Service team, 66 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,80 so that none of our questions remain unanswered. 67 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,900 That’s it for today. 68 00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:26,000 Like and share our video, and don t forget to subscribe to our channel. 69 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,200 Stay tuned![]
