00:00:15,769 --> 00:00:16,940
Hello tankers!

2
00:00:16,940 --> 00:00:21,220
In today’s episode, we’ll be having a good look
at the latest changes to the friends menu,

3
00:00:21,220 --> 00:00:23,900
and telling you more about
the upcoming clan system.

4
00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:28,460
We’ll also be telling you about player ratings,
which will be returning to the game soon.

5
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,880
Today’s update was a relatively tiny one,
but there are some details about it

6
00:00:33,890 --> 00:00:35,470
that we’d like to share with you.

7
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,660
The friends menu has changed.

8
00:00:37,660 --> 00:00:40,129
The “Send”, and “incoming request” buttons,

9
00:00:40,129 --> 00:00:42,579
are now smaller and more understandable.

10
00:00:42,580 --> 00:00:46,640
The second change is that we have removed
the “Referrals” button from the top menu bar,

11
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,880
and moved the whole section
to the Friends menu.

12
00:00:49,180 --> 00:00:50,980
We also cleaned up the section.

13
00:00:50,980 --> 00:00:54,920
We removed the “invite by email feature”,
because who needs it in twenty-seventeen?

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,940
And we removed the banners too because
they no longer work properly on most sites.

15
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:01,440
So now, all that’s left inside the menu

16
00:01:01,450 --> 00:01:04,670
is your list of your referrals,
and the “invite a friend” button.

17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,060
When you click this button, a special
link will be copied to your clipboard.

18
00:01:09,060 --> 00:01:12,560
You’ll be able to share this link with
your friends who don’t play Tanki,

19
00:01:12,570 --> 00:01:14,770
to invite them to join you in the game.

20
00:01:14,770 --> 00:01:19,120
If a friend of yours uses this link to
register, and continues playing Tanki,

21
00:01:19,130 --> 00:01:22,930
you will receive freebie crystals for
every new rank he or she reaches.

22
00:01:23,220 --> 00:01:27,259
Of course, any players you refer, can
also become your friends in the game.

23
00:01:27,260 --> 00:01:30,120
These players will have a special
sign next to their nickname.

24
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:35,200
In a future version of the friends menu,
there will also be a third button — Clans.

25
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:39,160
Once it is implemented, the Clans
feature will allow you to set up a clan

26
00:01:39,170 --> 00:01:41,230
and invite other tankers to join it.

27
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:43,880
Being in a clan has four main advantages:

28
00:01:44,209 --> 00:01:47,449
First — You’ll have a special clan
tag attached to your nickname

29
00:01:47,929 --> 00:01:51,810
Second — Any tankers who join a clan,
will get their own chat window

30
00:01:51,810 --> 00:01:54,490
for easy interaction and
chatting with their clanmates

31
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,060
Third — You’ll be able to join PRO-battles without

32
00:01:58,060 --> 00:02:00,349
needing a PRO-pass or Premium account.

33
00:02:00,349 --> 00:02:03,649
However, you will still need
those to create Pro Battles

34
00:02:03,919 --> 00:02:06,209
And finally, the most important feature

35
00:02:06,209 --> 00:02:09,149
Clan Battles, which will only
be open to Clan Members.

36
00:02:09,380 --> 00:02:13,280
This means there won’t be any mults,
sabotages and other annoyances.

37
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,959
With future updates, this feature
will be improved even further.

38
00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:19,720
The great news is that it’s
almost ready to launch.

39
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,000
If everything goes according to plan, we’ll
be implementing it in a week or maybe two.

40
00:02:24,860 --> 00:02:26,440
More exciting announcements.

41
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,020
Player ratings will be returning
to the game soon,

42
00:02:29,020 --> 00:02:31,420
and will become the one
measure for all tankers.

43
00:02:31,660 --> 00:02:34,880
This number will be visible in the
game window, in the experience bar,

44
00:02:34,890 --> 00:02:39,440
and it will be possible to check other players’
ratings in their profile on the game’s website.

45
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,300
We will also be featuring the TOP-100
tankers according to rating,

46
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:47,560
and unlike other ranking pages,
this list will NOT be restarted every week.

47
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,680
Player ratings were removed from
the game two years ago

48
00:02:50,690 --> 00:02:54,590
because it was too easy to boost
the numbers using cheap tactics,

49
00:02:54,590 --> 00:02:56,010
and that it NOT COOL.

50
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,960
The new rating system will
be based on the same metrics,

51
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,360
but will use a new, smarter formula.

52
00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:05,420
So from now on, if you meet someone
with a higher rating than yours,

53
00:03:05,420 --> 00:03:08,780
you can be pretty sure he or she
is going to be a worthy challenger.

54
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,700
Video of the week!

55
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:16,480
Last time we asked you to shoot
a parkour video... with Striker.

56
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,040
Let’s see the best entry!

57
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,900
For next time, show us what Smoky
and Wasp can do on the battlefield.

58
00:03:49,220 --> 00:03:52,840
We’ll only be accepting videos
made WITHOUT spectator mode.

59
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,100
And make sure you’re
wearing the Metallic paint.

60
00:03:58,260 --> 00:04:01,220
Have you caught your breath
after all of the New Year sales?

61
00:04:01,220 --> 00:04:02,940
Time to bring back some more!

62
00:04:02,940 --> 00:04:06,560
This weekend, starting from the
morning server restart on Saturday,

63
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,280
we’ll be having big discounts on
micro-upgrades and speed-ups for 48 hours.

64
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,400
Don’t miss them!

65
00:04:14,580 --> 00:04:15,620
That’s it guys!

66
00:04:15,630 --> 00:04:20,490
Follow us on social media and make
sure you catch all future episodes. See ya!

67
00:04:26,780 --> 00:04:28,200
Last time you had to guess

68
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,120
how many missiles Striker would manage
to launch before self-destructing.

69
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,460
The correct answer is 2.

70
00:04:35,580 --> 00:04:36,860
Here are our winners!

71
00:04:36,860 --> 00:04:38,220
And here’s the new question![]
