00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:16,670
Hello tankers!

2
00:00:16,670 --> 00:00:17,670
In today’s episode,

3
00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:21,580
we’ll be telling you about the balance
changes for Shaft, Hammer and Isida.

4
00:00:21,580 --> 00:00:25,090
We’ll also be announcing the
upcoming Iron Days festivities,

5
00:00:25,090 --> 00:00:27,410
and a live stream with Cedric
from the English Community,

6
00:00:27,410 --> 00:00:31,770
and Tanki’s game-designer, Semyon Strizhak...
also known as Hazel-Rah.

7
00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:35,200
Let’s start with the latest news

8
00:00:35,210 --> 00:00:38,350
the balance changes for
Isida, Hammer and Shaft.

9
00:00:38,629 --> 00:00:39,829
First, Shaft.

10
00:00:40,220 --> 00:00:44,760
Arcade shot damage now decreases
over distance, same as for Thunder.

11
00:00:44,770 --> 00:00:47,890
The time between shots in
sniper mode has been increased.

12
00:00:47,890 --> 00:00:51,280
And the turret’s rotation speed in
sniper mode has been decreased.

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,000
BUT!

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,019
The maximum damage in sniper
mode has been increased,

15
00:00:55,019 --> 00:00:57,759
making it powerful enough
to destroy a medium hull.

16
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,920
and following your feedback, we’ve
slightly reduced the scope’s zooming effect

17
00:01:01,929 --> 00:01:06,770
So we’ve improved sniper shot, and
made arcade shot weaker at long range.

18
00:01:06,770 --> 00:01:10,800
The idea is to make an even bigger
distinction between the two firing modes.

19
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,140
So, sniper mode is for long range,
arcade mode is for close range.

20
00:01:15,140 --> 00:01:16,600
Next, Hammer.

21
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,280
Clip reload time now takes 1 second longer.

22
00:01:19,290 --> 00:01:22,290
We’ve also cut the number
of pellets down to one third,

23
00:01:22,290 --> 00:01:25,520
BUT increased each pellet’s
damage and kinetic power,

24
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,810
so the turret still deals the same
amount of damage and pushback

25
00:01:28,810 --> 00:01:31,080
when hitting with the full amount of pellets.

26
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,440
Additionally, Hammer’s pellets
will now bounce off surfaces.

27
00:01:34,450 --> 00:01:35,820
Now some players will go

28
00:01:35,820 --> 00:01:37,170
“What for?

29
00:01:37,170 --> 00:01:40,729
Hammer isn’t Ricochet!”...
without even having tried it.

30
00:01:40,729 --> 00:01:41,729
You’re right.

31
00:01:41,729 --> 00:01:42,729
Hammer is NOT Ricochet.

32
00:01:42,729 --> 00:01:47,329
In fact, Hammer fires pellets,
and they will only bounce once.

33
00:01:47,329 --> 00:01:49,649
So these turrets remain VERY different.

34
00:01:49,649 --> 00:01:53,969
This new Hammer feature is great for
playing town-maps with lots of vertical walls.

35
00:01:53,969 --> 00:01:56,089
But watch out for self-damage.

36
00:01:58,570 --> 00:02:00,000
There are also some other pluses:

37
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,460
the time between shots in a
clip has been decreased,

38
00:02:02,460 --> 00:02:05,180
and the vertical aiming angle
has been increased.

39
00:02:05,180 --> 00:02:06,180
ISIDA!

40
00:02:06,180 --> 00:02:09,440
Isida had been pretty
imbalanced for a long time.

41
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,040
Then, some time ago, we nerfed it,
but we went a little bit too far,

42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,240
so now we’ve given it a good boost.

43
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,100
We’ve also removed self-healing,

44
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:20,470
to make a clear distinction between
the two roles of the turret in battle.

45
00:02:20,470 --> 00:02:25,210
So, vampirism has been removed, and we’re
not planning on bringing it back for now.

46
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,480
However, we’ve seriously
increased the turret’s damage.

47
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,240
But the most interesting part

48
00:02:30,250 --> 00:02:34,170
is that Isida’s energy consumption changes
depending on the way it’s being used.

49
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,000
So, Isida’s damage output is now higher,

50
00:02:37,010 --> 00:02:40,330
and a full energy bar lasts
5 seconds, as in the past.

51
00:02:40,330 --> 00:02:44,220
However, healing teammates now
consumes half the amount of energy,

52
00:02:44,220 --> 00:02:47,080
so the turret is now twice
as effective at healing.

53
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,540
And if you don’t have a target,

54
00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:51,320
it will take you 20 seconds
to waste a full energy bar.

55
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,680
That’s 4 times longer than in the past.

56
00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:55,640
For full details on the update,

57
00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:58,580
check out the Tanki-Wiki and
the patch notes in the forum.

58
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,120
It’s time for some unexpected news.

59
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,000
This weekend, on the 18th
and 19th of February,

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,540
we’ll be running an experiment for 48 hours

61
00:03:08,540 --> 00:03:11,960
We’ll be temporarily changing
the parameters of garage supplies,

62
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,660
the ones you use by clicking
1-2-3-4-5 on your keyboard.

63
00:03:15,660 --> 00:03:18,880
Supplies in Tanki give you
a huge advantage in battle.

64
00:03:18,890 --> 00:03:22,430
A tank with Double Armour
and Double Damage activated,

65
00:03:22,430 --> 00:03:26,870
is roughly 4 times as powerful as
the same tank without buffs.

66
00:03:26,870 --> 00:03:32,170
Because of this, supplies almost always
beat skill, and we’re not happy with that.

67
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:35,290
So, we’ve decided to experiment with supplies,

68
00:03:35,290 --> 00:03:39,730
and give our players a chance to
play a different kind of Tanki Online.

69
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,240
And now the numbers:

70
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,580
For those 48 hours, we’ll be
turning off smart cooldowns.

71
00:03:44,860 --> 00:03:45,460
But!

72
00:03:45,460 --> 00:03:48,120
Тhe active time for
supplies will be 30 seconds.

73
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,900
The cooldown for repeated use
of the SAME supply will be increased.

74
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:54,580
Supplies will not be reactivated
if you’re destroyed

75
00:03:54,580 --> 00:03:58,780
And you won’t be able to activate supplies
immediately upon entering a battle.

76
00:03:58,790 --> 00:03:59,870
You’ll have to wait.

77
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:03,080
Note that these changes
will not affect supply drops.

78
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,220
Those will keep functioning as usual.

79
00:04:05,220 --> 00:04:08,160
With these settings,
we want to increase the value

80
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:13,190
of dropped and garage supplies that
can be bought or earned in Daily Missions.

81
00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:16,570
We know it’s cool to activate
all supplies at the same time,

82
00:04:16,570 --> 00:04:18,539
but if you time it incorrectly,

83
00:04:18,539 --> 00:04:23,399
you will not be able to activate one of your
buffs such as Double Armour for a long time.

84
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,980
Video of the week.

85
00:04:26,980 --> 00:04:30,320
Last time we asked you to show us
what the new Twins could do.

86
00:04:30,330 --> 00:04:32,310
Let’s see the best video of the lot.

87
00:05:02,540 --> 00:05:03,500
Not bad!

88
00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:06,140
For next time, make a
frag-movie with Isida...

89
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:07,850
it should be a lot easier now.

90
00:05:07,850 --> 00:05:10,410
Remember, we said FRAG-movie, not parkour.

91
00:05:10,410 --> 00:05:12,790
So, we wanna see some cool kills.

92
00:05:12,790 --> 00:05:13,550
Good luck!

93
00:05:16,020 --> 00:05:18,340
Saint Valentine’s Day has come and gone,

94
00:05:18,350 --> 00:05:20,750
but we’ve got more
festivities planned for you.

95
00:05:20,750 --> 00:05:22,660
Next up is the Iron Days event,

96
00:05:22,660 --> 00:05:26,080
which will be starting on Thursday
and taking place over 4 days.

97
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,140
In addition to decorations
and a holiday paint,

98
00:05:29,140 --> 00:05:33,720
we’ll be having new in-game gifts,
gold boxes dropping more often,

99
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,760
a special daily mission,
a special Shop bundle,

100
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,160
and of course, Garage and Shop Sales.

101
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,660
We’ll give you all the details on
Wednesday, February the 22nd.

102
00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:47,950
For next week, we’ve decided
to try something new.

103
00:05:47,950 --> 00:05:50,290
There will NOT be a VLOG on Friday.

104
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,200
Instead, Cedric, our English
Community Manager,

105
00:05:54,210 --> 00:05:57,210
together with Tanki’s game-designer,
Semyon Strizhak,

106
00:05:57,210 --> 00:06:01,210
will be making a live-stream discussing
recent updates and upcoming plans,

107
00:06:01,210 --> 00:06:04,180
answering your questions,
and of course, playing Tanki!

108
00:06:04,180 --> 00:06:06,930
You can post your questions
in the special forum thread.

109
00:06:06,930 --> 00:06:08,790
The link is in the V-LOG’s description.

110
00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:10,580
Make sure you don’t miss it.

111
00:06:10,590 --> 00:06:13,910
The exact time and date will be
announced closer to the event.

112
00:06:16,020 --> 00:06:17,260
That’s it for today!

113
00:06:17,260 --> 00:06:21,060
We wish you a great weekend and lots
of fun with the Iron Days event!

114
00:06:21,060 --> 00:06:21,860
See ya!

115
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:31,020
Last week we showed tiny
fragments from a map,

116
00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:32,750
and you had to guess its name.

117
00:06:32,750 --> 00:06:34,170
The correct answer is...

118
00:06:34,170 --> 00:06:34,790
Valley.

119
00:06:37,030 --> 00:06:39,630
Here are our winners and
here is the new question![]
