00:00:15,769 --> 00:00:16,749
Hello tankers!

2
00:00:16,860 --> 00:00:18,820
In today’s episode, we’ll be
telling you  about

3
00:00:18,830 --> 00:00:21,090
the latest changes in the game’s balance,

4
00:00:21,090 --> 00:00:22,680
and about the new Alterations.

5
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,090
We’ll also be telling you about some
features of the Artillery turret,

6
00:00:26,090 --> 00:00:27,850
and showing you an EPIC jump.

7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,500
Since the release of Player Ratings,
we’ve received a lot of questions such as

8
00:00:39,950 --> 00:00:40,700
No.

9
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:43,060
This number shows how tough you are.

10
00:00:43,070 --> 00:00:47,200
The better you are at playing Tanki,
the bigger this number will be.

11
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,860
So, if your Rating number is 7000,
and Kasim’s is 6000,

12
00:00:52,860 --> 00:00:55,080
you are better than him at playing Tanki.

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,840
One more thing about ratings.

14
00:00:56,850 --> 00:01:00,989
We’ve made some changes to the new Ratings
formula that was implemented last week.

15
00:01:00,989 --> 00:01:03,710
Now, power-leveling and
other sneaky tactics,

16
00:01:03,710 --> 00:01:06,280
will have an insignificant effect
on a Player’s Rating.

17
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,960
We’ve also multiplied the number
by 10 to make it more responsive.

18
00:01:10,740 --> 00:01:13,240
In our continuous quest
for the perfect balance,

19
00:01:13,250 --> 00:01:16,260
we’ve made some changes to
Vulcan, Ricochet and Twins.

20
00:01:16,460 --> 00:01:17,720
Let’s start with Vulcan.

21
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,060
We’ve weakened it’s gyroscopic effect, and

22
00:01:20,060 --> 00:01:22,240
decreased the angle for vertical auto aim.

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,320
So now, it IS possible to
knock off its aim,

24
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:27,920
but it’s still a lot harder
than for other turrets.

25
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,159
On the other hand, we’ve increased
the turret’s weak damage,

26
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:33,210
which has made it more
effective at long range.

27
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:34,840
Next...Ricochet.

28
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,360
For the purposes of optimization,

29
00:01:36,369 --> 00:01:41,089
we’ve decreased the maximum number
of bounces for Rico’s projectiles, to 20.

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,359
In a real battle, you’ll almost
never need more than that.

31
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:49,340
We’ve also increased the physical size
of Rico’s projectiles to make hitting easier.

32
00:01:49,340 --> 00:01:52,140
The bigger the charge, the
harder it is to miss a target.

33
00:01:52,340 --> 00:01:55,460
And finally, a new batch of
Alterations is in the game.

34
00:01:55,460 --> 00:01:58,000
Ricochet’s Alteration
gives it splash damage,

35
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,920
but you’ll have to give
up the bounce effect.

36
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,120
And last but not least... Twins.

37
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,440
The splash damage effect that we
wanted to add as an Alteration for Twins,

38
00:02:06,450 --> 00:02:09,250
has now become a standard
feature for this turret.

39
00:02:09,250 --> 00:02:11,940
So, this new Twins Alteration turns it off.

40
00:02:11,940 --> 00:02:15,320
With this step, we’ve made
this turret less… noobish.

41
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,440
Now, it’s no longer possible to play
with a brick on your spacebar,

42
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,180
because self-damage will
come back to bite you.

43
00:02:21,180 --> 00:02:23,200
But the turret has lots of potential now.

44
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,500
Did you like the looks of the new Artillery
turret that we showed you last week?

45
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:31,820
The turret has been in
testing for some time.

46
00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:33,760
Here are some of its unique features:

47
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,000
The turret itself does NOT rotate.

48
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,920
For horizontal aiming you’ll have
to rotate your whole tank.

49
00:02:39,380 --> 00:02:42,100
Firing distance depends on 2 factors:

50
00:02:42,110 --> 00:02:44,810
the shot’s velocity, AND
the angle of the barrel,

51
00:02:44,810 --> 00:02:47,940
which is controlled by the
turret rotation controls.

52
00:02:47,940 --> 00:02:51,580
To make it more intuitive,
we’ll add two new indicators

53
00:02:51,580 --> 00:02:55,400
that show the firing angle and
velocity of the last shot fired.

54
00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:58,450
The shot’s velocity is set
by holding the spacebar.

55
00:02:58,450 --> 00:03:01,530
The longer you hold it down,
the farther your shot will travel.

56
00:03:01,530 --> 00:03:02,660
If you remember the Worms game,

57
00:03:02,660 --> 00:03:04,980
you’ll know exactly
how the mechanic works.

58
00:03:05,340 --> 00:03:07,720
And now, some details
on its appearance.

59
00:03:07,730 --> 00:03:10,270
This turret has a very long barrel…

60
00:03:10,270 --> 00:03:13,310
and yes, we already know all the
jokes you can make about it,

61
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:15,400
and some you haven’t
even thought about yet.

62
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,480
You already know what the
turret looks like on its own.

63
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,000
Now, let’s see what it looks like on a hull.

64
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,980
Here it is with a light

65
00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:24,660
medium

66
00:03:24,660 --> 00:03:25,940
and heavy hull.

67
00:03:26,420 --> 00:03:27,710
The barrel of this new turret

68
00:03:27,710 --> 00:03:32,410
rotates up and down from 0 degrees
(completely horizontal) to 90 degrees.

69
00:03:32,410 --> 00:03:36,350
And yes, you WILL be able to fire the
turret vertically and kill yourself.

70
00:03:37,310 --> 00:03:39,960
One more visual feature
for the Artillery turret,

71
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,760
is the animation for the
hydraulic recoil mechanism,

72
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,420
which shows the barrel retracting at
the moment that the shell is fired.

73
00:03:46,430 --> 00:03:49,170
So far, only one other turret
has moving elements,

74
00:03:49,170 --> 00:03:51,750
and that is the Vulcan,
with its spinning barrel.

75
00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:55,910
In the future we might add similar
animations to other existing turrets.

76
00:03:55,910 --> 00:03:57,680
And now… release dates.

77
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,370
This new turret will be in the game
sooner than some of you might expect.

78
00:04:01,370 --> 00:04:02,670
The coding part is ready,

79
00:04:02,670 --> 00:04:06,210
and we’re currently finalizing the
turret’s audio and visual effects.

80
00:04:06,210 --> 00:04:08,120
Of course, we have to test it some more,

81
00:04:08,130 --> 00:04:11,500
prepare resistance modules,
and finish off a few more things.

82
00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:14,240
We’re hoping to have all this
sorted out in about a month.

83
00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:18,040
Video of the week...

84
00:04:18,049 --> 00:04:19,049
Tanki challenge.

85
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,800
Last episode, we challenged you to travel
a huge distance on the Skyscrapers map...

86
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,120
with just one jump.

87
00:04:25,130 --> 00:04:29,710
As promised, the first team to complete
the challenge gets 200 thousands crystals.

88
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:31,220
Here is the winning video.

89
00:04:51,349 --> 00:04:53,529
Another prize of 200 thousand crystals

90
00:04:53,529 --> 00:04:56,160
goes to the team who also
completed the challenge,

91
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,240
BUT sent us the coolest video.

92
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,980
And here’s what they came up with.

93
00:05:30,419 --> 00:05:33,720
For next week, let’s have a standard
Video of the Week contest.

94
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,860
The theme is, playing with the new Twins.

95
00:05:35,860 --> 00:05:37,820
Show us this turret’s new potential,

96
00:05:37,820 --> 00:05:40,020
and make sure you’re
wearing the Black paint.

97
00:05:42,540 --> 00:05:44,460
Valentine’s Day is almost here

98
00:05:44,460 --> 00:05:47,800
and it’s the perfect time to show
your enemies how much you love them,

99
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,000
even though you’ve been making
holes in their hulls all year.

100
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,940
So, for 24 hours only on February 14th,

101
00:05:53,940 --> 00:05:58,620
we’ll be setting up the mood with special
holiday decorations and lots of other goodies.

102
00:05:58,820 --> 00:06:01,920
We’ll have holiday paints,
special in-game gifts to share,

103
00:06:01,930 --> 00:06:06,860
bigger gold boxes, new daily missions,
and a special Holiday Bundle in the Shop.

104
00:06:06,860 --> 00:06:08,840
And of course, we’ll be having sales!

105
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:16,180
20% on Shop items, In-game gifts, Paints,

108
00:06:25,380 --> 00:06:26,900
That’s all for this week!

109
00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:30,719
Give us a thumbs up if you’re looking
forward to getting the new Artillery turret.

Last time you had to guess

115
00:06:50,259 --> 00:06:53,739
how many gold boxes Kasim would
manage to collect in 30 seconds.

116
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,840
The correct answer is 15 boxes.

117
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,420
Here are our winners and
here’s the new question.[]
