Hello, tankers!

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,560
In today’s episode of our Developer’s Diary,

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,940
we’ll be telling you about the updates implemented

4
00:00:10,940 --> 00:00:13,820
in the past few weeks, and sharing with you some cool

5
00:00:13,820 --> 00:00:17,220
news about the upcoming Tanki X New Year’s event.

6
00:00:17,220 --> 00:00:17,900
Stay tuned!

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,880
Last week, our developers started working on the

8
00:00:22,890 --> 00:00:26,10
implementation of one of their global 
game balancing plans,

9
00:00:26,10 --> 00:00:29,790
which includes the adjustment
of game modes and points distribution.

10
00:00:29,790 --> 00:00:33,310
If you’d like to read about the finer
details of these recent updates,

11
00:00:33,310 --> 00:00:35,720
check out the official thread on our forum.

12
00:00:35,730 --> 00:00:40,230
Now, let’s answer the most important question:
why do we need these changes?

13
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:45,300
To understand these changes better, let’s
take a look at how things were before the update.

14
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:48,640
High level players were getting
the same amount of points per kill,

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,560
regardless of whether they were killing
a newbie player or a pro player,

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:58,60
even though the newbie player might have
poorer equipment, and might not be as skilled.

17
00:00:58,70 --> 00:01:03,229
As a result, it was more profitable for high
level players to play with and against newbies,

18
00:01:03,229 --> 00:01:06,329
who in turn, were earning less crystals and experience.

19
00:01:06,329 --> 00:01:10,820
These changes in the battle mechanic
were designed to protect new players from veterans,

20
00:01:10,820 --> 00:01:14,759
and also make the levelling up
of mastery and upgrades more uniform.

21
00:01:14,780 --> 00:01:16,940
Another question we’ve been asked is

22
00:01:16,940 --> 00:01:22,920
“why are updates being implemented gradually,
instead of the final version being released at one go?”.

23
00:01:23,60 --> 00:01:29,200
The answer is simple, implementing updates
one by one, allows us to gather the data we need,

24
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:34,419
and adjust the plan as required,
leaving only the most important content in the game.

25
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,179
We’re going to use this method of implementing small,

26
00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:40,380
frequent updates until the end of the Open Beta Testing.

27
00:01:40,380 --> 00:01:43,679
This approach will likely change
closer to the release of the game.

28
00:01:45,780 --> 00:01:49,820
Let’s discuss the other updates
we’ve implemented during the past two weeks.

29
00:01:49,820 --> 00:01:52,940
The Hornet Beta skin has finally been released and

30
00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:56,450
is now available to every Closed Beta Quest participant.

31
00:01:56,450 --> 00:01:59,150
If you don’t have a Hornet hull in your garage yet,

32
00:01:59,150 --> 00:02:03,970
don’t worry, the skin will automatically
be added once you acquire the hull.

33
00:02:06,340 --> 00:02:10,620
Its carbon analog, Hornet T-zero,
can be bought for X Crystals.

34
00:02:10,620 --> 00:02:13,780
Besides these two,
we’ve added a number of other skins.

35
00:02:13,780 --> 00:02:18,440
There are several tier 2 skins
including Vulcan, Freeze and Dictator,

36
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,920
and also a number of Steel versions including

37
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:27,149
Railgun, Hammer, Vulcan, Shaft,
Ricochet, Smoky, Wasp, and Titan.

38
00:02:27,150 --> 00:02:32,30
We’re also going to be adding another legendary
combination of XT skins very soon

39
00:02:32,30 --> 00:02:33,520
— Viking and Thunder.

40
00:02:33,530 --> 00:02:36,950
Equipping these two will definitely
bring your tank a lot of attention.

41
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,859
On December 1st, we added rank-up rewards.

42
00:02:41,870 --> 00:02:43,760
With your first login after the update,

43
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,399
you should have received crystals
for any past ranks you’ve already reached,

44
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,940
and will be receiving a small bonus in
crystals with every subsequent rank-up.

45
00:02:51,940 --> 00:02:56,880
Additionally, for every 5th rank you reach,
you will be awarded a bonus in X Crystals.

46
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,800
Check out the Knowledge Base for
a table explaining these bonuses.

47
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,880
Please be aware that the rewards
may change in the future.

48
00:03:03,890 --> 00:03:06,470
We’ll soon be adding a notification that will tell

49
00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:09,370
you how much the reward will be for your next rank.

50
00:03:09,370 --> 00:03:12,930
We’ll continue adding new and
convenient payment methods for you.

51
00:03:12,930 --> 00:03:17,569
We’ve already added PayPal and are currently
working on adding a variety of prepaid options

52
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,620
At the end of this month, Tanki X
is going to be celebrating its first New Year’s holidays

53
00:03:25,620 --> 00:03:29,700
with awesome special offers,
contests and a unique in-game event

54
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:32,299
— the hunt for the special holiday boxes.

55
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,180
For two whole weeks, at the end of every battle,
tankers will have the chance to receive boxes

56
00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:41,450
that will contain rare... very rare...
and even legendary items:

57
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,200
Special Holiday skins for Freeze and Wasp
Shells for Twins and ricochet

58
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,679
Special Holiday paints and graffiti
Tons of crystals and supplies

59
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,849
These special boxes will also
be available to buy for X Crystals.

60
00:03:54,849 --> 00:03:58,809
Additionally, during the holidays
after the New Year’s eve celebrations,

61
00:03:58,809 --> 00:04:03,489
you will be able to take part in the
“Ladder Challenge” and race under different categories.

62
00:04:03,489 --> 00:04:07,309
And this is just the beginning of the
New Year’s surprises we’ve prepared for you.
