00:00:15,719 --> 00:00:16,719
Hello tankers!

2
00:00:16,719 --> 00:00:20,480
In today’s episode of the V-LOG,
we’ll share with you a little bit of news

3
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,000
about the new turrets that
are currently in development.

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,890
We’ll also review the
new balance changes,

5
00:00:25,890 --> 00:00:29,790
and give you a preview of what you
can expect for this Halloween’s festivities.

6
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:32,280
Some time ago,

7
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,480
we told you about our plans
to create two new turrets.

8
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:39,959
Many of you were excited about this,
but now, a question is starting to come up

9
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,160
So, let’s clear this up.

10
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:47,500
The first time we spoke
about these new turrets,

11
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:50,420
was during our Tanki meetups
in Yerevan and Tbilisi.

12
00:00:50,420 --> 00:00:55,800
But, at that point in time, we were still
at the very early stages of planning.

13
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,980
Now as you can imagine, creating
a new turret takes a ton of work.

14
00:00:58,980 --> 00:01:01,760
Right now, our programmers
are in the coding stage

15
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,700
for the new turret code-
named “rocket launcher”.

16
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:06,900
There’s still a lot of ground to be covered,

17
00:01:06,910 --> 00:01:10,190
but we can share some details
with you about how it will work.

18
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,260
The rocket launcher will have four barrels.

19
00:01:13,260 --> 00:01:18,000
Pressing the spacebar will fire a rocket
in a straight line from one of the barrels.

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,880
Here’s where it gets interesting.

21
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,460
When holding down the spacebar,

22
00:01:21,460 --> 00:01:24,259
a laser beam similar to the one
on Shaft, will appear.

23
00:01:24,260 --> 00:01:26,920
By point this laser beam
towards an enemy,

24
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,000
waiting for it to lock on,
and releasing the spacebar,

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,440
the rocket launcher will fire
FOUR homing missiles

26
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,300
that will try to find and
destroy the targeted enemy.

27
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,400
Of course, these rockets CAN be
avoided, especially by light hulls.

28
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,200
But even if an enemy
manages to avoid the shot,

29
00:01:43,210 --> 00:01:46,548
the rockets will still deal
splash damage to any tank

30
00:01:46,549 --> 00:01:49,389
that is close enough
to where they explode.

31
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,820
We’ve been working hard on
improving the tanki client,

32
00:01:54,820 --> 00:01:57,500
and we’re now ready to share
some good news with you.

33
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:02,380
It is now possible to refresh the client by
pressing the F5 key on your keyboard,

34
00:02:02,390 --> 00:02:04,900
just like when using a browser.

35
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:05,560
So, if you’re in a battle

36
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,909
and you get disconnected
due to a critical error,

37
00:02:07,909 --> 00:02:10,609
all you need to do is refresh the client.

38
00:02:10,609 --> 00:02:14,709
This will return you to the battle, while
preserving all of your battle achievements.

39
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,840
A few weeks ago we announced
a series of changes to the game’s balance.

40
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,680
Many of you expressed your opinions,

41
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,280
and some even managed to try
out these changes in the test server.

42
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,700
But now the changes
are actually in the game,

43
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:31,299
so let’s have a look at some of the
things that have changed, and how.

44
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,420
As announced, all M3 equipment is
now unlocked at the rank of Marshall.

45
00:02:36,420 --> 00:02:40,880
This has affected a number of things,
one of them being the price of such equipment.

46
00:02:40,890 --> 00:02:45,190
For example, M3 Firebird, which used
to be available at the rank of Commander,

47
00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:47,500
is now available 2 ranks earlier.

48
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:52,280
Because of this, its price has gone
down by almost 43000 crystals.

49
00:02:52,580 --> 00:02:55,460
Of course, this doesn’t
apply to all equipment.

50
00:02:55,460 --> 00:02:57,880
Some turrets and hulls
have become more expensive

51
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,500
as a result of the changes
in rank requirements.

52
00:03:00,910 --> 00:03:05,300
Isida is one of those turrets that
has had its minimum rank requirement

53
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:06,780
raised from Brigadier to Marshal,

54
00:03:06,780 --> 00:03:11,340
and its price has gone
up to 235600 crystals.

55
00:03:11,590 --> 00:03:13,910
The balance changes have
affected the parameters

56
00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:16,350
of practically all turrets and hulls.

57
00:03:16,350 --> 00:03:19,700
For a full explanation of why
these changes have been implemented,

58
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:22,519
you can check out
episode 108 of the V-LOG.

59
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:27,420
There’s also a complete and comprehensive
list of all changes on the Wiki.

60
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,000
You can find links to the V-LOG and
wiki article in this V-LOG’s description.

61
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,250
This update has also allowed us
to bring back a special battle format

62
00:03:38,250 --> 00:03:42,450
that was very popular
between 2009 and 2012

63
00:03:42,450 --> 00:03:44,429
the Dictator and Rail format.

64
00:03:44,430 --> 00:03:47,330
You can now organize your
own Dictator and Rail battles

65
00:03:47,330 --> 00:03:51,179
by selecting the respective option
in the battle creation screen.

66
00:03:51,180 --> 00:03:55,221
In the Dictator and Rail format,
Railgun is automatically equipped with

67
00:03:55,221 --> 00:03:59,981
an alteration that increases its damage
and slows down its reload speed.

68
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:04,660
This gives it a 92% chance
of 2-shotting a Dictator.

69
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,240
Another cool feature that has been
rolled out with this release is

70
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,140
visible damage counters.

71
00:04:10,140 --> 00:04:13,859
This feature will come in very
handy in quite a few situations.

72
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,000
Damage counters will be a
great help in format battles.

73
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,519
If a player’s first shot
has dealt little damage,

74
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:22,599
he or she will probably need
another 2 shots to make the kill.

75
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,240
Ricochet users will also find it helpful,

76
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,700
because it will allow them
to find out whether they’ve managed

77
00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:30,200
to hit that sneaky tank
hiding around the corner.

78
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,300
Also, damage counters
for kill shots will be red.

79
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:37,660
This will help players know for
sure whether it was them

80
00:04:37,660 --> 00:04:40,600
who landed the killing shot,
or someone else.

81
00:04:41,140 --> 00:04:44,340
One more advantage is that
tankers with short range turrets

82
00:04:44,340 --> 00:04:48,219
will be able to see how their
damage decreases over distance,

83
00:04:48,220 --> 00:04:51,540
helping them to better understand
how their turret works.

84
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,420
Now, here are a couple of questions
that you’ve been asking us on the forum.

85
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,460
No, your damage counters
will only be visible to you.

86
00:05:01,460 --> 00:05:03,380
Nobody, not even your teammates,

87
00:05:03,380 --> 00:05:06,800
will be able to see how much
damage you’re dealing to your opponents.

88
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,320
Yes, of course.

89
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,320
If for some reason you
do not want to see

90
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,560
how much damage
your turret is dealing,

91
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,360
you can turn the feature off
in the options screen.

92
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,840
The update has also brought
a couple of other changes.

93
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:27,200
Self-destruct time has now been
reduced from 10 seconds to 5 seconds,

94
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,900
which means you’ll be able to get
back into the action a lot faster.

95
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:34,200
Additionally, the time
between equipment changes

96
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,820
has been increased from
1 minute to 5 minutes.

97
00:05:37,260 --> 00:05:39,520
So, make sure you log into the game

98
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,890
and check out all the
new features and changes

99
00:05:41,890 --> 00:05:43,909
that this update has brought with it.

100
00:05:43,910 --> 00:05:45,539
And don’t forget that right now

101
00:05:45,540 --> 00:05:51,660
we’re also running a 30% sale on
supplies, plus 50% extra battle funds!

102
00:05:51,660 --> 00:05:55,280
There’s no better time to blow
up some enemies in the arena!

103
00:05:57,100 --> 00:05:58,600
Video of the week!

104
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,720
Last week we asked you to
create a video on the theme

105
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,220
“I’m playing an XP/BP battle”,
wearing the white paint!

106
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,280
Let’s watch the winning entry!

107
00:06:28,980 --> 00:06:30,680
For next week, the theme is

108
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,420
“How I spent Halloween
with Tanki Online”.

109
00:06:33,420 --> 00:06:37,360
Have fun with this, and remember,
your imagination is the limit!

110
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,380
Well tankers, we’ve already
said a lot in this V-LOG,

111
00:06:43,380 --> 00:06:45,679
but we’ve really saved
the best for last.

112
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,421
It’s time to pull the skeletons
out of the closet,

113
00:06:48,421 --> 00:06:53,221
and tell you all about what you can expect
for this year’s Tanki Halloween festivities.

114
00:06:53,221 --> 00:06:55,520
First of all, we need to
set the atmosphere,

115
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,500
so we’ll have special themed
decorations for maps,

116
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:03,480
with spooky bushes and trees, billboards,
and even a Halloween-themed gold box.

117
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,800
Next, we want you to spread
the Halloween spirit,

118
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,820
so we’ll have a special in-game
gift to share with your fellow tankers.

119
00:07:10,820 --> 00:07:14,340
For those tankers who want
to go on some trick-or-treating fun,

120
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,600
we’ve also got two
Halloween festive paints.

121
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,600
One is a regular holiday paint.

122
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,000
The great news is that it will be
possible to buy this paint for crystals,

123
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,320
and keep it forever.

124
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,180
The premium paint will be
available to buy in the shop,

125
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:29,190
as part of a special holiday bundle

126
00:07:29,190 --> 00:07:33,100
together with 7 days of premium time,
supplies, and crystals.

127
00:07:33,380 --> 00:07:37,940
And what’s cool is that the festivities
will last for a whopping EIGHT DAYS!

128
00:07:37,940 --> 00:07:39,200
But that’s not all!

129
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,599
For a FULL 48 hours, on the
29th and 30th October,

130
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,780
we’ll be having a special Halloween map,

131
00:07:45,780 --> 00:07:49,539
on which gold boxes will
be dropping 5 times as often.

132
00:07:49,540 --> 00:07:52,580
There will also be special
missions on this map.

133
00:07:52,580 --> 00:07:55,900
They’ll be more challenging
than normal missions,

134
00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:57,609
but they will bring bigger
and better rewards.

135
00:07:57,850 --> 00:08:00,610
And NO, we have NOT forgotten
about discounts.

136
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:07,840
We’ll be having a sale of 31% off
modules… paints… hulls… and turrets.

137
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,900
You can find more details
about this on the homepage.

138
00:08:11,140 --> 00:08:14,990
So, get ready to experience
eight terrific days of Halloween

139
00:08:14,990 --> 00:08:18,770
in Tanki Online, starting
from Monday, October 24th!

140
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,460

145
00:08:38,220 --> 00:08:41,659
Last week we showed you
Twins equipped with an alteration,

146
00:08:41,659 --> 00:08:41,660
and asked you to guess how many
shots it would need to destroy the Wasp.

Twins equipped with an alteration,

147
00:08:41,660 --> 00:08:45,459
and asked you to guess how many
shots it would need to destroy the Wasp.

148
00:08:47,580 --> 00:08:49,900
The correct answer is 13.

149
00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:52,930
Let’s meet our winners and
watch the next question![]
