00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:16,859
Hello tankers!

2
00:00:16,859 --> 00:00:18,359
Long time no see.

3
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,440
In today’s episode, we’ll be
discussing the latest, big update.

4
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,900
We’ll also be telling you about Alterations,

5
00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:27,960
and showing you the best entries from
the Women’s day postcard contest.

6
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:32,860
Last weekend we had the
second supplies experiment.

7
00:00:32,860 --> 00:00:35,060
The test parameters were as follows:

8
00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:36,620
Active time was shortened

9
00:00:36,620 --> 00:00:38,550
Cooldown time was INcreased

10
00:00:38,550 --> 00:00:41,280
but smart cooldown
times were DEcreased

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,360
Our survey data gave
us mixed feedback.

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,740
On one hand, players like
the element of fair play,

13
00:00:47,740 --> 00:00:52,040
where skill matters and you need to
manage supply drops effectively.

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,900
Additionally, it is much easier to
activate a full set of supplies.

15
00:00:56,900 --> 00:00:58,020
On the other hand,

16
00:00:58,030 --> 00:01:01,510
many players didn’t like that playing
has become more complicated,

17
00:01:01,510 --> 00:01:05,280
and that you can’t use supplies
as soon as you join a battle.

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,540
They feel that supplies
work well as they are,

19
00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:11,060
and shouldn’t be changed.

20
00:01:11,060 --> 00:01:14,860
So for now, it is still too early
to make any conclusions.

21
00:01:14,860 --> 00:01:18,120
We will continue researching
statistics and user feedback.

22
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,780
Development news.

23
00:01:21,790 --> 00:01:24,100
Last Thursday, we
released a big update

24
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:27,110
that will make life a lot
easier for newbie tankers.

25
00:01:27,110 --> 00:01:29,500
Let’s start with M0 equipment.

26
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:32,100
M0 turrets and hulls are now cheaper,

27
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:34,680
and available for purchase
from the very first rank.

28
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,920
This means that players

29
00:01:35,930 --> 00:01:38,900
can now choose their
playing style from day one.

30
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:42,960
Of course, the characteristics for these
turrets and hulls have also changed.

31
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,140
A few weeks ago, we experimented

32
00:01:45,140 --> 00:01:49,280
with changing the number of micro-
upgrade steps for M0 equipment.

33
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,240
We reduced the number of micro-
upgrade steps from 50 to 10,

34
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,380
so now, each step makes a significant
difference in performance.

35
00:01:58,380 --> 00:02:04,479
Additionally, the total cost for fully
micro-upgrading a piece of M0 equipment

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,920
is now cheaper.

37
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,620
Now, fully micro-upgrading an
M0 without using speed-ups,

38
00:02:10,620 --> 00:02:13,420
costs the same as buying a stock M1.

39
00:02:13,420 --> 00:02:18,120
With this week’s update, we
did the same for M1 equipment.

40
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,720
The total cost for fully micro-
upgrading an M1, is cheaper,

41
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,950
but speed up cost has increased,

42
00:02:24,950 --> 00:02:28,800
and there are now 10 micro-
upgrade steps for M1 items.

43
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:35,140
By the way, any micro-upgrades that were
being processed when the update went live,

44
00:02:35,140 --> 00:02:39,760
have automatically been completed
and rounded up in favor of the player.

45
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,980
Now, let’s talk about Alterations;
specifically, about rentals.

46
00:02:43,980 --> 00:02:48,060
With the latest update, you can
now rent Alteration for crystals.

47
00:02:48,060 --> 00:02:51,099
Renting an Alteration costs
five thousand crystals,

48
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:54,600
and the price remains the
same whether it’s M1 or M2.

49
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,040
We created Alterations so that
players could try new gameplay styles

50
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,980
without having to buy and
upgrade new pieces of equipment.

51
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,160
This should make them
even more affordable.

52
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,400
And now some details

53
00:03:07,409 --> 00:03:10,930
about the global experiment with
turret and hull characteristics.

54
00:03:10,930 --> 00:03:16,219
Basically, we’ve reduced the gap
between M0 and M3 equipment

55
00:03:16,220 --> 00:03:20,000
in order to counter the pay2win effect.

56
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,760
The changes in micro-upgrades,
and the supplies experiment,

57
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,640
were done for the same reason.

58
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:26,820
With this update,

59
00:03:26,829 --> 00:03:30,290
we only changed the damage for
turrets, and the hitpoints for hulls.

60
00:03:30,290 --> 00:03:34,120
This was done in a way that gives
a big boost to low-level modifications,

61
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,960
and a smaller boost to
high-level modifications.

62
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,299
Additionally, we’ve changed
some prices in the Garage.

63
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:42,020
Bulk discounts have been removed,

64
00:03:42,020 --> 00:03:45,020
and product kits will no
longer be affected by sales,

65
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:47,239
so their prices will remain constant.

66
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,820
Additionally, bonus supplies
have been removed from Product Kits.

67
00:03:50,820 --> 00:03:53,940
We understand that players
aren’t happy with these changes,

68
00:03:53,940 --> 00:03:57,540
however, they were a necessary evil
to normalize game economics,

69
00:03:57,540 --> 00:04:00,380
so this is a change we’ll
need to get used to.

70
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,180
On Wednesday, we announced the winners
of the Women’s Day Postcard contest.

71
00:04:07,189 --> 00:04:11,359
The international jury of Tanki Community
Managers, chose the best entry.

72
00:04:11,359 --> 00:04:15,529
Its author received fifty thousand
crystals and 10 gold boxes.

73
00:04:15,529 --> 00:04:18,930
Additionally, our jury chose
more than forty runners up,

74
00:04:18,930 --> 00:04:23,880
who received twenty thousand crystals
and 3 gold boxes each, for their efforts.

75
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,280
The full list of winners is on the homepage.

76
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:29,660
Thank you all for participating,
and see you in the next contest!

77
00:04:31,330 --> 00:04:32,580
Video of the week!

78
00:04:32,580 --> 00:04:34,280
Last time we asked you to show us

79
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:37,620
some parkour using Hammer’s
new bouncing bullets feature.

80
00:04:37,620 --> 00:04:40,520
And as expected, you sent
us some really cool videos.

81
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:41,860
Here is the best one!

82
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,080
For next time… there won’t be any theme.

83
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,310
Do whatever you wish to impress us, but
make sure you’re wearing the Flora paint.

84
00:05:18,310 --> 00:05:19,040
Good luck!

85
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,120
That’s it for today!

86
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,020
Subscribe to our channel, and
see you in the next episode! Bye!

87
00:05:33,860 --> 00:05:38,680
Last time, Ricochet fired a shot across
the whole length of the Stadium map.

88
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,960
You had to guess how much damage
Mammoth would take from the shot.

89
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,980
The correct answer is... 80 hitpoints.

90
00:05:44,980 --> 00:05:46,580
Here are our winners.

91
00:05:46,580 --> 00:05:48,960
They get five thousand crystals each.

92
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,720
And here is the new question.[]
