00:00:05,140 --> 00:00:06,180
Hello, tankers!

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,320
In today’s episode, we’ll be telling you
about the new updates that we implemented

3
00:00:10,330 --> 00:00:11,990
during the past two weeks.

4
00:00:11,990 --> 00:00:15,970
We’ll also be telling you about
how we’re fixing the most complex issues,

5
00:00:15,970 --> 00:00:17,890
and a bit about upcoming updates.

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,240
Over the past two weeks, we’ve released several

7
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:26,299
long-awaited updates that were announced in October.

8
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:28,760
Let’s start with the battle results screen.

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,340
The first screen you’ll get 
at the end of every battle,

10
00:00:31,350 --> 00:00:34,190
now notifies you about the outcome of the battle,

11
00:00:34,190 --> 00:00:36,269
whether it’s a “Victory” or a “Defeat”.

12
00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:38,430
This is followed by the results screen.

13
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:44,560
The third screen will display the rank and
mastery progression, for both your turret and hull.

14
00:00:44,580 --> 00:00:47,860
You no longer need to visit
your garage in between battles

15
00:00:47,870 --> 00:00:51,780
to check your remaining progress
to the next rank or mastery level.

16
00:00:51,780 --> 00:00:54,480
We’ve also added a “Play”
button to the home menu,

17
00:00:54,489 --> 00:00:57,739
which was designed to save you time
when searching for battles

18
00:00:57,739 --> 00:01:00,178
by picking the most appropriate battle for you.

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,160
The daily quests were introduced last week.

20
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,460
Two of them reset daily and require you
to destroy a certain number of tanks.

21
00:01:07,460 --> 00:01:08,779
The third one is harder.

22
00:01:08,780 --> 00:01:11,60
You will need to complete this mission every day

23
00:01:11,60 --> 00:01:13,180
for seven consecutive days.

24
00:01:13,180 --> 00:01:16,420
Completing this chain will reward you with X Crystals.

25
00:01:16,420 --> 00:01:19,640
The difficulty of the daily quests
depends on your rank...

26
00:01:19,650 --> 00:01:22,630
and the higher your rank, the better the reward.

27
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:28,630
Earlier this week, we implemented the crosshair,
which we believe will greatly increase firing accuracy.

28
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:34,160
A diamond shaped crosshair will appear on
any enemy tank that enters your turret’s firing sight.

29
00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:36,600
The mechanic is different for each turret.

30
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,759
When using Smoky, Vulcan, Thunder,
Railgun, and Shaft in Arcade mode,

31
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,920
the crosshair will focus on the target closest to you.

32
00:01:44,930 --> 00:01:46,970
Shaft’s aiming mode hasn’t changed.

33
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,960
Isida, Twins, and Ricochet 
have a limited firing range.

34
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,39
If the target moves outside the
turret’s range, the crosshair disappears.

35
00:02:00,40 --> 00:02:04,740
Additionally, when aiming at
friendly targets with Isida, the crosshair turns green.

36
00:02:05,60 --> 00:02:07,680
The crosshair on Thunder is a bit smarter.

37
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,420
It will mark every target
affected by its area of effect damage.

38
00:02:11,420 --> 00:02:16,000
The crosshairs for Freeze and Firebird
are scheduled to be added in later updates.

39
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,480
You can always disable this function
in the game settings menu,

40
00:02:19,490 --> 00:02:21,510
and go back to the original aiming method.

41
00:02:21,660 --> 00:02:24,900
We are continuously working
on the development of skins.

42
00:02:24,910 --> 00:02:28,850
In the past few updates, we’ve added
steel skins for Thunder and Isida,

43
00:02:28,850 --> 00:02:31,420
as well as the second tier of skins for Viking.

44
00:02:31,420 --> 00:02:33,619
XT hulls got new sound effects.

45
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:37,420
Very soon, we will be releasing
the next Closed Beta Quest reward.

46
00:02:37,580 --> 00:02:43,320
In mid-November, we conducted a survey
in which we asked our Closed Beta Quest participants

47
00:02:43,330 --> 00:02:46,710
to choose the skin 
they want to receive as a reward.

48
00:02:46,740 --> 00:02:50,520
The majority voted for the Golden Hornet Beta skin...

49
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,160
therefore it will be added 
to their garages for free.

50
00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:00,359
Its analog, with the carbon elements,
will become available for purchase for X Crystals.

51
00:03:00,580 --> 00:03:04,840
Our developers will continue working
on the next reward — the Railgun shell.

52
00:03:08,660 --> 00:03:13,780
Our Tanki X programmers are always working
on developing the game, as well as fixing bugs.

53
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,740
Just recently, our players faced
two very unpleasant issues.

54
00:03:17,740 --> 00:03:21,220
One of the old bugs that
makes battle time infinite, is back.

55
00:03:21,340 --> 00:03:25,940
What happens is that the timer gets stuck
at 15 minutes, locking the players in battle

56
00:03:25,940 --> 00:03:29,660
without giving them the possibility
to claim their hard-earned battle fund.

57
00:03:29,660 --> 00:03:34,700
The bug has now been fixed, but our programmers
and analysts are continuously monitoring its state.

58
00:03:35,260 --> 00:03:39,780
The second annoying issue is the imbalance
in player distribution in team battles.

59
00:03:39,780 --> 00:03:42,420
We re still trying to work out a solution for this.

60
00:03:42,420 --> 00:03:44,480
As soon as we do, we will let you know.

61
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:54,200
As part of an experiment in AlternativaPlatform,
last week we organized an event called Hackathon.

62
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,40
Hackathon (which is a combination
of the words Hack and Marathon)

63
00:03:58,40 --> 00:04:02,540
is a marathon among developers, aimed
at rapid task development within the project.

64
00:04:02,540 --> 00:04:06,280
It doesn’t really have anything to do
with Hacking in the conventional sense.

65
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:11,760
Such events are held in a variety of industries
and are aimed at solving different tasks,

66
00:04:11,820 --> 00:04:17,99
but they have one thing in common:
a 48 hour marathon of rampant development.

67
00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:22,700
For the Hackathon event, the Tanki Online
and Tanki X teams split into several smaller teams,

68
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:26,140
in order to develop a new game
feature in a short amount of time.

69
00:04:26,140 --> 00:04:30,200
Programmers, artists, and game designers
spent days and nights in the office,

70
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,180
making sure to finish their task in the allotted time.

71
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,180
For the final presentation, each team
showcased their feature with arguments

72
00:04:37,180 --> 00:04:41,980
and comments on why their feature is important
and what benefits will it bring to the project.

73
00:04:42,220 --> 00:04:44,639
One of the coolest things about the Hackathon

74
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:48,359
is that you can see and test
the functional product behind the idea,

75
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,960
see it in action, and evaluate its potential.

76
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,640
Besides that, the time is very limited.

77
00:04:53,740 --> 00:04:56,200
This forces the teams to decide on developing the

78
00:04:56,210 --> 00:04:59,469
idea or feature that they think 
will be the most useful.

79
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,360
Unfortunately, we can not disclose any of the

80
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,180
ideas and features developed during the Hackathon,

81
00:05:05,180 --> 00:05:09,300
as they are only prototypes
waiting to be approved for future development.

82
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,800
That’s it for today.

83
00:05:10,810 --> 00:05:12,310
Thanks for watching!
