1
00:00:15,690 --> 00:00:16,759
Hello Tankers!

2
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:17,760
In today’s episode

3
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,840
we’ll be telling you about
last weekend’s Welcome Tanki meetups.

4
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,200
We’ll also be telling you about
development plans for TO,

5
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,890
and answering the greatest question
about Tanki X.

6
00:00:28,540 --> 00:00:29,540
In the middle of June,

7
00:00:29,540 --> 00:00:31,619
we announced the international video contest

8
00:00:31,620 --> 00:00:32,619
“Welcome Tanki”,

9
00:00:32,619 --> 00:00:32,620
where groups of tankers from different cities
“Welcome Tanki”,

10
00:00:32,620 --> 00:00:34,879
where groups of tankers from different cities

11
00:00:34,890 --> 00:00:38,530
had to create a video
inviting Tanki Online to their city.

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,550
The winning teams were from Yerevan and Tbilisi,

13
00:00:41,550 --> 00:00:44,309
and that’s where the Tanki team
went last weekend.

14
00:00:44,660 --> 00:00:47,380
They arrived in Yerevan early on Friday,

15
00:00:47,390 --> 00:00:49,649
so they had time to have a look around
before the gathering.

16
00:00:49,649 --> 00:00:52,800
They also got help from a local tanker...

17
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:52,780
Ando.

18
00:00:53,499 --> 00:00:55,939
I help moderators with translations...

19
00:00:55,940 --> 00:00:58,599
I also like playing xp/bp battles every day

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,989
and participating in different tournaments

21
00:01:00,989 --> 00:01:03,730
Certainly not Starseries,
we didn’t make it there…

22
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:07,300
Saturday morning started with meeting everybody

23
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:08,700
and planning for the event.

24
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:12,450
Although Cedric has been working
with Alternativa for 2 years,

25
00:01:12,450 --> 00:01:15,710
this was the first time the guys
from the Russian office met him in person.

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,140
The team discussed the future development plans

27
00:01:18,140 --> 00:01:20,300
for both TO and TX.

28
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,520
We were trying to guess
how many tankers would come.

29
00:01:23,860 --> 00:01:25,799
Based on last year’s experience,

30
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:28,420
we expected around 300 tankers.

31
00:01:28,420 --> 00:01:29,510
We have to admit that

32
00:01:29,510 --> 00:01:34,740
even though the cities we visited last year
had a bigger population,

33
00:01:34,740 --> 00:01:35,660
they were not capital cities.

34
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,240
Welcome Tanki!

35
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:43,500
Welcome to Armenia!

36
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:50,340
Right away, the team were hit
by a lot of questions

37
00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:52,410
about the game and future plans.

38
00:01:52,410 --> 00:01:55,600
Our community managers
answered them as loudly as they could

39
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,199
but it was hard to cut through all the noise.

40
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,220
In return, the tankers entertained and amazed the team.

41
00:02:04,220 --> 00:02:05,800
I love Tanki Online!

42
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:09,239
During the contest, the players were given cool prizes,

43
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,660
and reciprocated by giving our team
a very tasty cake.

44
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,480
The event lasted till late in the evening.

45
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,619
The tankers didn’t want to let the team go,

46
00:02:20,620 --> 00:02:22,340
and kept taking selfies with them

47
00:02:22,340 --> 00:02:25,200
till it was almost too dark to see anything.

48
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,680
Among the visitors were also moderators
and known esports athletes

49
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,560
And of course, there was also the person

50
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,420
who created the video invitation.

51
00:02:33,420 --> 00:02:36,339
Without him, this event would never have been possible.

52
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,600
The idea was born at a local tanker’s gathering.

53
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,630
We decided to record the meeting,

54
00:02:41,630 --> 00:02:43,540
I did the editing, and it turned out to be

55
00:02:43,540 --> 00:02:45,000
one of the winning videos,

56
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,450
which is why Tanki is in Yerevan today,

57
00:02:47,450 --> 00:02:49,440
and why this is a day to celebrate.

58
00:02:50,220 --> 00:02:53,940
The next day, the Tanki team
traveled from Yerevan to Tbilisi

59
00:02:53,940 --> 00:02:55,980
The nature in those parts is so beautiful,

60
00:02:55,980 --> 00:02:58,640
that the team just HAD to stop and admire it.

61
00:03:01,580 --> 00:03:04,660
Hey guys. We re near lake Sevan

62
00:03:04,660 --> 00:03:06,359
the famous Armenian lake,

63
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,240
and we re on our way to Tbilisi.

64
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,940
Yesterday in Yerevan was mind-blowing

65
00:03:12,940 --> 00:03:15,359
Lots of tankers, everybody had a great time,

66
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,960
we gave out t-shirts, prizes

67
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:18,620
amazing!

68
00:03:18,620 --> 00:03:20,620
Guys, I m depending on you ok?

69
00:03:20,620 --> 00:03:22,440
Let s have a great time in Tbilisi.

70
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,660
Hope to see you all there.

71
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,800
When the team arrived in Tbilisi

72
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,640
they had just a few hours to prepare.

73
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:29,839
A short break and back to work!

74
00:03:30,980 --> 00:03:32,670
Yesterday we were in Yerevan,

75
00:03:32,670 --> 00:03:36,790
and to our surprise we had a record number of visitors

76
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:37,600
700 tankers.

77
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,220
Today we’re in Tbilisi.

78
00:03:39,220 --> 00:03:41,220
Let s see how the event develops here.

79
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,240
Welcome to Tbilisi!

80
00:03:44,660 --> 00:03:47,900
The event in Tbilisi took place
in the beautiful Rike park.

81
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:51,200
No wonder their video won the
English version of the contest.

82
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,140
Since not everyone understands Russian in those parts,

83
00:03:54,150 --> 00:03:56,450
Cedric, our English community manager,

84
00:03:56,450 --> 00:03:57,769
helped with the presentation.

85
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,580
Local tankers did an amazing job
helping at the event.

86
00:04:01,580 --> 00:04:03,520
Our Russian moderator David,

87
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,420
helped with the organization of the lottery
and other contests.

88
00:04:06,420 --> 00:04:07,640
Just like in Yerevan,

89
00:04:07,650 --> 00:04:10,830
the tankers in Tbilisi were awarded Tanki souvenirs,

90
00:04:10,830 --> 00:04:12,770
Tanki X Closed Beta Keys,

91
00:04:12,770 --> 00:04:14,570
and of course, an iPad.

92
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,390
I think these meetings
are a lot of fun for our players.

93
00:04:37,390 --> 00:04:41,630
They can ask questions,
and get answers live face to face…

94
00:04:42,580 --> 00:04:45,380
After 3 hours of active work, in the spotlight,

95
00:04:45,380 --> 00:04:48,460
with a lot of players poking and asking you questions,

96
00:04:48,460 --> 00:04:51,638
having to scream your answers back
because of the noise,

97
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:55,960
I thought I would get tired… very very tired.

98
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,719
But…it was actually the opposite…

99
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,300
It seems that at this kind of events

100
00:05:01,310 --> 00:05:04,430
there is some kind of energetic vibe.

101
00:05:04,430 --> 00:05:07,130
You exchange energy with everyone.

102
00:05:10,250 --> 00:05:11,940
After our tanker’s gatherings,

103
00:05:11,940 --> 00:05:14,300
the team decided to run a mini contest

104
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:16,429
for those who participated in the events.

105
00:05:16,430 --> 00:05:20,850
If you’re one of the tankers who joined
our team in Yerevan or Tbilisi,

106
00:05:20,850 --> 00:05:22,520
all you need to do is post your selfie

107
00:05:22,521 --> 00:05:24,660
with one of the members of the Tanki team

108
00:05:24,660 --> 00:05:26,440
on your facebook profile.

109
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,270
You will need to include your nickname,

110
00:05:28,270 --> 00:05:29,190
and the hashtags

111
00:05:29,190 --> 00:05:31,780
#welcometanki and
#tankionline.

112
00:05:31,780 --> 00:05:33,429
You can learn more about the contest

113
00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:35,990
by following the link in the V-LOG’s description.

114
00:05:38,630 --> 00:05:39,900
During both gatherings,

115
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:43,300
the tankers bombarded the team with tons of questions.

116
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:46,900
The answers exposed some
of our future development plans.

117
00:05:46,900 --> 00:05:49,479
Right now, that information
is already floating around the community

118
00:05:49,479 --> 00:05:52,740
in the form of rumors, stories and shaky videos.

119
00:05:52,740 --> 00:05:54,490
But it’s time to clear it all up

120
00:05:54,490 --> 00:05:56,310
and set the record straight.

121
00:05:56,310 --> 00:05:58,300
So here are the full details!

122
00:05:58,980 --> 00:06:01,260
We are planning on adding floating damage counters

123
00:06:01,270 --> 00:06:03,950
to Tanki Online in an upcoming update.

124
00:06:03,950 --> 00:06:06,280
These will show you exactly how much damage

125
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:08,869
you’ve done to an enemy tank, with every hit,

126
00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:12,270
allowing you to guess
how many hit points the enemy tank has left,

127
00:06:12,270 --> 00:06:14,390
and maybe saving you a Ricochet round.

128
00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:16,880
For example, the damage from one Twins projectile

129
00:06:16,890 --> 00:06:19,659
might deal 15.9 damage points,

130
00:06:19,660 --> 00:06:21,400
while one round from a Railgun turret

131
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,919
might deal 159 damage points.

132
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,880
This can lead to some confusion.

133
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,600
For this reason, in the next update

134
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,100
we’ll be multiplying these numbers by 10.

135
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:32,740
As a result, all numbers will be rounded up,

136
00:06:32,740 --> 00:06:35,160
and equipment stats will get an extra zero,

137
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,980
just like in Tanki X.

138
00:06:37,580 --> 00:06:40,280
We’ve mentioned many times
that we are planning on having

139
00:06:40,290 --> 00:06:43,650
a Tanki Online game client
that will allow players to run the game

140
00:06:43,650 --> 00:06:46,739
straight from their Desktop, without using a browser.

141
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:49,700
This will probably include the option
to customize controls,

142
00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:53,110
which is something that is not possible
in the browser-based version.

143
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,500
The primary advantage of the client,

144
00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:58,000
is that it will not share resources and cache

145
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,700
with other websites, browser games, and videos.

146
00:07:01,700 --> 00:07:03,790
The client will only run Tanki Online,

147
00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:05,600
and that means that game performance

148
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,640
will probably improve significantly.

149
00:07:08,660 --> 00:07:11,660
One of the most common questions from our players is:

150
00:07:11,669 --> 00:07:16,630
“Will the progress and achievements
in Tanki Online accounts, be migrated to Tanki X?　

151
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:18,740
The answer is no

152
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,159
Very soon, we’ll be wiping clean

153
00:07:21,169 --> 00:07:23,789
all garages, ranks and micro-upgrades

154
00:07:23,789 --> 00:07:26,490
for all Tanki X beta testers,

155
00:07:26,490 --> 00:07:29,900
which means all players
will be starting the game from scratch.

156
00:07:29,910 --> 00:07:31,389
The reason for this,

157
00:07:31,389 --> 00:07:33,199
is that we want every player

158
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:36,339
to enjoy our new game from the very beginning.

159
00:07:36,620 --> 00:07:40,460
On one hand, Tanki X is the successor of Tanki Online.

160
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:42,520
On the other hand, Tanki X

161
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,909
already has its own unique features
that do not exist in TO.

162
00:07:47,380 --> 00:07:48,659
A few years ago,

163
00:07:48,660 --> 00:07:50,970
back when we started working on this project,

164
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:56,250
we had considered transferring accounts
and their history from Tanki Online to Tanki X.

165
00:07:56,700 --> 00:07:58,600
This was because we thought

166
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,210
that we’d be shutting down Tanki Online

167
00:08:00,210 --> 00:08:01,770
with the release of Tanki X.

168
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,340
However, we have decided to support both projects.

169
00:08:05,580 --> 00:08:07,120
You can play Tanki Online

170
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,320
on your old and buffed account,

171
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,300
or play Tanki X on a new account.

172
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,360
Many experienced and veteran players

173
00:08:15,370 --> 00:08:17,319
have raised concerns about the future

174
00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:19,599
of clan activities and tournaments.

175
00:08:20,180 --> 00:08:22,260
One of the most important upcoming features

176
00:08:22,270 --> 00:08:23,430
is the Clan system.

177
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,140
This system will allow tankers

178
00:08:25,140 --> 00:08:28,110
to bring together their brothers-in-arms as a Clan,

179
00:08:28,110 --> 00:08:30,910
and participate with them in
exclusive clan battles,

180
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,780
available only for clans.

181
00:08:32,780 --> 00:08:34,818
This should eliminate the risk of sabotage

182
00:08:34,818 --> 00:08:36,348
and trolling within teams,

183
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:39,369
because each team will only include
approved clan members.

184
00:08:40,380 --> 00:08:42,140
Of course the most exciting news

185
00:08:42,140 --> 00:08:44,520
was the addition of two new turrets.

186
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,760
We are considering adding two new turrets to the game.

187
00:08:47,770 --> 00:08:50,329
We have not yet come to a final decision,

188
00:08:50,330 --> 00:08:52,210
but we have these two options.

189
00:08:52,210 --> 00:08:54,200
First weapon - Rocket launcher.

190
00:08:54,209 --> 00:08:55,500
The way we’re imagining it,

191
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:57,330
this turret is going to be a combination

192
00:08:57,330 --> 00:08:59,130
of several existing turrets.

193
00:08:59,130 --> 00:09:01,850
The projectile will be moving rather slowly,

194
00:09:01,850 --> 00:09:03,459
like the bullets from Twins.

195
00:09:03,459 --> 00:09:05,618
It will do splash damage, just like Thunder;

196
00:09:05,620 --> 00:09:08,400
and will have two firing modes, just like Shaft.

197
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,199
Second Weapon - Artillery.

198
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,680
Many of you became curious when they found out

199
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:15,270
that this turret will not rotate horizontally...

200
00:09:15,270 --> 00:09:17,630
rather, it will aim vertically.

201
00:09:17,860 --> 00:09:19,800
You estimate the angle,

202
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,220
then press and hold the space key.

203
00:09:21,340 --> 00:09:23,400
The longer you hold the space key,

204
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,719
the further the shell will fly.

205
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,540
Hitting a target will do splash damage.

206
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,500
Many of these plans are yet to take shape,

207
00:09:29,510 --> 00:09:32,189
which means that details are subject to change.

208
00:09:32,190 --> 00:09:34,450
But we promise to keep you updated.

209
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,100
Video of the week.

210
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:40,120
Last time, we asked you to send us a video

211
00:09:40,130 --> 00:09:42,200
on a theme of your choice,

212
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,600
but wearing the orange paint.

213
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,699
Remember that in order to submit the
video of the week,

214
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:06,800
you will need to use a special form.

215
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,640
The link to the form can be found
in the V-LOG s description

216
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,120
For next episode, you will have to record a video

217
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,840
featuring an epic battle on the Parma map,

218
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,540
wearing the white paint.

219
00:10:16,540 --> 00:10:19,199
The most epic and flashy one will win.

220
00:10:21,900 --> 00:10:23,300
That’s it for today guys!

221
00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:25,180
Make sure you like this video

222
00:10:25,180 --> 00:10:26,699
and share it with your friends.

223
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:28,400
See you next time!

224
00:10:34,460 --> 00:10:36,460
Last week, we showed you a screenshot,

225
00:10:36,460 --> 00:10:39,660
and you had to guess the name of the map
from where it was taken.

226
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,800
The correct answer is... “Pass”.

227
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,640
Let’s meet our winners
and watch the next question.[]
