00:00:05,260 --> 00:00:06,200
Hello, tankers!

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,400
Welcome to our 25th episode of developer’s
diary.

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,860
Today, we’ll be telling you about the recent updates.

4
00:00:11,860 --> 00:00:15,300
We’ll also be telling you about
the upcoming matchmaking system,

5
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:18,200
and our preparations for the
April Fool’s Day celebration.

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,780
Last week, we implemented
the new upgrade system

7
00:00:24,780 --> 00:00:28,130
that we told you about in the last
episode of our developer’s diary.

8
00:00:28,130 --> 00:00:31,640
We’ve also significantly increased
rewards for rank ups.

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,520
You can check out the details
in our Knowledge Base.

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,080
The link is in the description.

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,800
The next big step towards
balancing players in battle,

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,180
will be to turn off
the over-upgrading of equipment,

13
00:00:42,180 --> 00:00:46,540
so the upgrade level of a turret or hull will
not be able to go higher than its mastery level.

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,720
This means that your mastery and upgrade levels
should always be roughly equal,

15
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,200
in order to keep yourself
as effective as possible in battles.

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,500
We’ve finally updated the flag in CTF mode!

17
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,060
The old flag was a legacy
of “Tanki Online”, and it was flat.

18
00:01:06,060 --> 00:01:09,380
But a modern 3D shooter
needs something a bit more special.

19
00:01:09,380 --> 00:01:13,540
So, we’ve finally found some time,
and turned it into a high-tech device

20
00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:18,680
that projects a red or blue canvas with a cool 
swaying motion that leaves a nice trail behind.

21
00:01:19,020 --> 00:01:22,780
The new flag resembles the one
you might have seen in our cinematic trailer,

22
00:01:22,780 --> 00:01:25,100
but our artists have made it even more detailed.

23
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,799
We’ve already mentioned the development
of a matchmaking system in Tanki X,

24
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,280
which is designed to bring players together
in battles.

25
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,080
There are currently three ways
a player can join a battle:

26
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,920
through the battle list, through the friends list,

27
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,680
and by pressing the “Play” button.

28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,060
But none of these methods can
guarantee a full and exciting battle.

29
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,000
The distribution of players is unbalanced,

30
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,480
and any of your opponents
or allies can quit the battle at any time.

31
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,840
The new system is designed to match
players with equally powerful tanks,

32
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,400
and have them playing those battles till the end.

33
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:06,060
This is how it will work:

34
00:02:06,060 --> 00:02:08,880
You start searching for a game
in your preferred mode;

35
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,980
The system will find the most suitable battle...
and players for you to play with and against.

36
00:02:13,980 --> 00:02:17,680
When the system finds the battle,
you will be sent to a special lobby,

37
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,360
where you will be able to choose the
turret and hull you want to use in that battle.

38
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,620
You will also be able to see
the equipment of your allies;

39
00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:28,790
The battle will start as soon as every
player has finished loading, and is ready.

40
00:02:28,790 --> 00:02:33,740
This system will avoid imbalances in the
number of players in each team, and their strength.

41
00:02:33,820 --> 00:02:38,140
In addition, we will add penalties
for players leaving the battle prematurely,

42
00:02:38,140 --> 00:02:41,000
depending on their previous
battle participation records.

43
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,040
This feature will encourage players
to play their battles till the very end.

44
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,060
You might have already noticed
similar systems in other games.

45
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,420
Now you might ask:

46
00:02:49,420 --> 00:02:51,880
“what if I get kicked out of the battle,

47
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,740
or my internet or electricity go off 
and my PC is restarted?”

48
00:02:55,740 --> 00:02:58,680
We’ve already thought about that,
and in the upcoming updates,

49
00:02:58,690 --> 00:03:02,850
we’re planning on implementing a system
that will allow you to reconnect to the battle

50
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:04,400
without losing your progress.

51
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,880
The implementation of the matchmaking system
goes hand in hand with the implementation

52
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,330
of the updates interface, in which we will have

53
00:03:11,330 --> 00:03:14,090
a new screen for match searching, and a lobby.

54
00:03:14,090 --> 00:03:16,580
We’ll tell you more about
how these screens will look,

55
00:03:16,580 --> 00:03:19,220
in an upcoming episode of our developer’s diary.

56
00:03:23,580 --> 00:03:27,260
For the eve of April Fool’s Day,
we’ve prepared something special for you

57
00:03:27,260 --> 00:03:31,800
an unusual version of the “Area-159” map
will be available in the battle list.

58
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,920
The unusual thing about this map,
will be a higher limit of maximum players.

59
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,600
So this weekend, we’ll be experiencing
real madness with 10 versus 10 battles

60
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:41,450
on this tiny map.

61
00:03:41,450 --> 00:03:44,880
There’s going to be something more too,
but we’ll keep that a secret.

62
00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:47,040
That’s it for this episode.
