00:00:15,740 --> 00:00:16,820
Hello Tankers!

2
00:00:16,820 --> 00:00:20,200
In today’s episode we’ll be announcing
the winners of the code contest,

3
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,439
and a special in-game photo session
with our community-managers.

4
00:00:23,620 --> 00:00:26,100
We’ll also be telling you
about a new battle format.

5
00:00:27,730 --> 00:00:31,290
The debate about the upcoming game
balance changes is still ongoing.

6
00:00:31,290 --> 00:00:34,310
In the meantime, some of you
have been able to try out these changes

7
00:00:34,310 --> 00:00:36,110
on the test server last weekend.

8
00:00:36,340 --> 00:00:38,440
Something else we’ve been
testing in the test server,

9
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,590
is the damage counters feature,

10
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,120
and many of you seem to have
liked the idea of being able to see

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,379
how much damage their
shots have been dealing.

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,190
If everything goes as planned,
the update will be released shortly.

13
00:00:49,190 --> 00:00:53,379
What’s more, we’ll also be bundling
with it a cool new type of format battle.

14
00:00:53,620 --> 00:00:54,960
Well, almost new.

15
00:00:55,260 --> 00:00:57,980
The Dictator and
Railgun format is back!

16
00:00:57,989 --> 00:01:02,300
It was very popular in the game
between 2009 to 2012.

17
00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:05,379
At the time, Railgun was as
popular as it is now,

18
00:01:05,390 --> 00:01:08,620
and Dictator in 2009 was
considered the best hull

19
00:01:08,620 --> 00:01:10,700
the fastest and the most armored.

20
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:13,300
After the rebalance of 2012,

21
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:17,280
Dictator became too slow,
too heavy, and too expensive.

22
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,480
That’s how the XP format was born.

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,390
It was much more
dynamic and interesting,

24
00:01:21,390 --> 00:01:24,890
so we took this format and created
a special type of battle with it.

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,880
The Dictator and Rail format was
never really forgotten by our players,

26
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,140
but was mostly abandoned

27
00:01:30,140 --> 00:01:32,980
because the hull was too
well-armored and not fast enough,

28
00:01:32,980 --> 00:01:35,700
making this kind of format
very slow and dull.

29
00:01:35,710 --> 00:01:37,419
But with the upcoming balance changes,

30
00:01:37,420 --> 00:01:41,320
we have a great opportunity to
bring back this old, popular format.

31
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:45,300
The Dictator and Rail format will
be very different from XP/BP,

32
00:01:45,310 --> 00:01:48,670
both as it is now, AND
after the balance changes.

33
00:01:48,670 --> 00:01:50,280
Its tempo will be slower,

34
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,420
and tactics such as tank positioning and
game roles will be a lot more important.

35
00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:58,220
Here’s a comparison between the
formats to give you a clearer picture:

36
00:01:58,220 --> 00:02:01,600
XP/BP after the update will
become even more dynamic

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,660
due to the increased firing rate.

38
00:02:03,660 --> 00:02:07,520
Tanks will mostly be destroyed
with 2 shots, and rarely with 3.

39
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,180
Dictator after the update
will become faster.

40
00:02:10,180 --> 00:02:15,320
Additionally, in format battles, you’ll
need 2 to 3 Railgun shots to destroy it.

41
00:02:15,330 --> 00:02:18,900
Now you’re probably thinking
how is this possible?

42
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:20,590
Dictator has a lot more
hit points than Hornet.

43
00:02:20,590 --> 00:02:23,570
How can it take the same
amount of shots to destroy!

44
00:02:23,570 --> 00:02:25,750
THAT is the grand new feature!

45
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:27,390
In THIS battle format only,

46
00:02:27,390 --> 00:02:31,179
every Railgun will automatically be
equipped with a special Alteration

47
00:02:31,189 --> 00:02:34,239
that increases its damage,
but decreases its firing rate,

48
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:37,779
bringing Railgun’s characteristics
closer to what they are at present.

49
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,400
The new Dictator and Railgun format

50
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,420
will be separate from XP/BP
in the list of battle creation.

51
00:02:43,420 --> 00:02:45,950
You’ll be able to create and
take part in such battles

52
00:02:45,950 --> 00:02:47,980
with M2 equipment and better.

53
00:02:47,980 --> 00:02:50,920
You’ll also need a PRO-pass
or a premium account.

54
00:02:50,930 --> 00:02:54,120
We are planning to release this
update on the 20th of October,

55
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,700
but the release date
may change as required.

56
00:02:56,700 --> 00:02:57,540
Stay tuned!

57
00:03:01,450 --> 00:03:02,790
Over the past five episodes,

58
00:03:02,790 --> 00:03:05,379
we’ve been asking you to find
a number of hidden codes

59
00:03:05,379 --> 00:03:07,320
and enter them in special forms.

60
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:07,990
Those who managed
to find them all,
and enter them in special forms.

61
00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:09,790
Those who managed
to find them all,

62
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,959
and to enter them correctly
in the least amount of time,

63
00:03:11,959 --> 00:03:13,439
will be receiving a prize.

64
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,220
More than 24 thousands players
took part in this contest.

65
00:03:17,220 --> 00:03:18,520
Here are our winners!

66
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,199
A few weeks ago, Cedric, our
International Community Manager,

67
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,600
organized a photoshoot where
players could join him in a battle

68
00:03:36,609 --> 00:03:38,329
and snap photos with his tank,

69
00:03:38,329 --> 00:03:41,929
as well as with other admins and
prominent members of the community.

70
00:03:41,929 --> 00:03:45,409
The event was so much fun,
that we’re organizing another one.

71
00:03:45,409 --> 00:03:48,719
In fact, every community will be
organizing their own photoshoot

72
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:50,870
with their respective community managers.

73
00:03:50,870 --> 00:03:52,400
If you want to join the photoshoot,

74
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,940
check out the details in
the official forum thread.

75
00:03:54,940 --> 00:03:56,720
The link is in the V-LOG’s description.

76
00:03:58,820 --> 00:04:00,340
Video of the week!

77
00:04:00,340 --> 00:04:03,980
Last week we asked you to show us
your top skills on the Madness map

78
00:04:03,989 --> 00:04:06,799
in a REAL battle,
wearing the Orange paint!

79
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,700
Let’s watch the winning video!

80
00:04:32,980 --> 00:04:35,940
For next week, we’re expecting
A LOT of video entries,

81
00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:40,000
because the theme for next episode
is “I’m playing an XP/BP battle”.

82
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,480
Make sure you’re wearing the white paint!

83
00:04:44,460 --> 00:04:46,359
That’s all for this week tankers!

84
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,320

See ya!

88
00:04:59,380 --> 00:05:02,800
Last week we showed you a
Ricochet equipped with an Alteration,

89
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,680
and you had to guess

90
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,200
how many times its projectile
would bounce before disappearing.

91
00:05:07,260 --> 00:05:09,219
The correct answer is 11.

92
00:05:09,460 --> 00:05:11,159
But, before we announce our winners,

93
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,600
let’s have a look at the results
of last week’s survey.

94
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:15,460
The majority voted to have

95
00:05:15,460 --> 00:05:18,320
20 winners who will get
5 000 crystals each,

96
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,540
so from today, that’s what the rewards
will be for the question of the week.

97
00:05:22,540 --> 00:05:24,360
So, let’s meet our winners.

98
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,200
Now, here’s your chance
to get those crystals![]
