00:00:04,980 --> 00:00:07,780
Welcome to a new episode
of our Developer’s Diary,

2
00:00:07,780 --> 00:00:11,160
in which we’ll share with you
the latest news about Tanki X.

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,660
Let’s start with a look at the updates
that we implemented last week.

4
00:00:14,740 --> 00:00:17,820
While our developers were busy
working on larger updates,

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:23,140
they managed to carve out some time
to surprise us with a new XT skin for the Titan hull.

6
00:00:23,380 --> 00:00:28,060
Beside the new skin, here are some other items
that can be found in the latest container:

7
00:00:28,060 --> 00:00:30,680
The “Attack of Titan” and “Atlas” graffiti;

8
00:00:30,740 --> 00:00:33,200
A new paint and coating called “Glacier”.

9
00:00:36,460 --> 00:00:39,500
Last Friday, we released another balance update.

10
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:42,280
In it, we finally increased the amount of
battle points

11
00:00:42,290 --> 00:00:44,600
received for healing your allies with Isida.

12
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,280
So, supporting your team
is now as profitable as other roles.

13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,500
We’ve also nerfed the
freezing force of the Freeze turret by 15%,

14
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:56,000
so it should now cause
less problems when playing against it.

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,700
Balance updates are often
initiated by players themselves.

16
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:01,920
It is a result of their complains such as

17
00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:06,400
“This equipment is more powerful
than the other one” or vice versa.

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,200
However, we never hurry to make such changes.

19
00:01:09,340 --> 00:01:13,120
First, we test it ourselves on different levels,
while gathering data.

20
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,560
If the players turn out to be right,
we implement the required adjustments”

21
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,960
It is important to note,
that the effect of the “Recharge” module,

22
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:26,140
and the effect of the Repair Kit supply box,
no longer accumulate when used simultaneously.

23
00:01:26,140 --> 00:01:30,000
The second one that is activated,
will reset the duration of the previous one.

24
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:34,740
You can still install two “Recharge” modules
on a hull and take turns using them.

25
00:01:34,740 --> 00:01:38,300
We are planning on making huge changes
to the module system in the future,

26
00:01:38,420 --> 00:01:41,500
but we’ll tell you more about that
in one of our upcoming episodes.

27
00:01:44,860 --> 00:01:47,780
In an upcoming update,
we’ll be releasing the new map.

28
00:01:47,780 --> 00:01:51,960
It is called “Ares”, and it is a base
that was built in secret by the “Frontier”,

29
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,560
while Antaeus were taking over Moon Silence.

30
00:01:54,820 --> 00:01:59,660
A video narrating the story behind this project,
will also be released together with the map.

31
00:01:59,660 --> 00:02:03,380
To celebrate the release of the new map,
we’ll be running a special offer.

32
00:02:03,380 --> 00:02:07,720
For an entire week, you will be able to acquire
a new container called “Mars”.

33
00:02:07,980 --> 00:02:08,880
It will contain:

34
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,680
Unique skins called “Dreadnought”, 
for Wasp and Firebird;

35
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,160
A new paint and coating called “Radiation”;

36
00:02:15,380 --> 00:02:18,660
New graffiti called “War of the Worlds” and “Alien”.

37
00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:21,640
To give you a chance
to obtain this container for free,

38
00:02:21,650 --> 00:02:24,150
we’re announcing “The Ladder Challenge” contest.

39
00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:28,420
We’re also going to run a few giveaways
on our social media pages

40
00:02:28,420 --> 00:02:30,680
— you can find the links in the description.

41
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,840
Additionally, other skins from the “Dreadnought” series

42
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,920
will be temporarily available for sale.

43
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:38,820
These are the “Dreadnought” skins
for Thunder and Dictator,

44
00:02:38,820 --> 00:02:42,820
which were available exclusively
during the celebrations for Cosmonautics Day.

45
00:02:42,820 --> 00:02:45,840
Please keep in mind that
the offer will only last a week,

46
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,440
so make sure you don’t miss your chance
to grab these unique skins.

47
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,140
Our work on the new matchmaking
and battle selection system is almost complete,

48
00:02:57,140 --> 00:03:00,860
and we can finally tell you more about it,
and show you some stuff too!

49
00:03:00,860 --> 00:03:03,980
Very soon, clicking on the “Play” button
in the main menu

50
00:03:03,980 --> 00:03:06,080
will open up 6 different options:

51
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,040
Quick Game, which will send you
to a random game, in a random mode;

52
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,020
Deathmatch - the usual DM battle type;

53
00:03:13,020 --> 00:03:16,400
Team Deathmatch
Capture the Flag

54
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,000
Space Battle, which will throw you
into crazy battles on low gravity maps!

55
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,919
And then there’s the sixth option
— Custom Game —

56
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:27,560
which will allow you to create a private battle,
and play with friends.

57
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,840
You will be able to set battle duration,
gravity level, and invite friends.

58
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,779
However, you will NOT earn any rewards
or experience while playing a custom battle.

59
00:03:36,779 --> 00:03:39,549
By the way, you will still be able to spectate games,

60
00:03:39,549 --> 00:03:41,980
but only the ones your friends are playing.

61
00:03:41,980 --> 00:03:43,280
For the first couple of weeks,

62
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,240
the matchmaking system will work
like the old system,

63
00:03:46,249 --> 00:03:49,670
grouping players into
the same mastery level ranges as before.

64
00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:52,669
However, equipment will no longer get nerfed,

65
00:03:52,669 --> 00:03:55,580
and players will not receive penalties
for leaving a battle.

66
00:03:55,580 --> 00:03:58,939
Our developers are considering
getting rid of the penalty system,

67
00:03:58,939 --> 00:04:01,010
in favor of a rating system and league.

68
00:04:01,010 --> 00:04:05,600
They’re also still thinking about ways
to add the option of map choice within the new system.

69
00:04:05,820 --> 00:04:08,100
This is the first step
towards a full matchmaking system

70
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:11,320
with the goal of having players
enter the battle simultaneously,

71
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,500
and eventually the release of private battles.

72
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:17,459
We have a few other things planned
— a rating system, and leagues,

73
00:04:17,459 --> 00:04:20,779
which will be a central mechanism
for the new matchmaking system.

74
00:04:20,860 --> 00:04:21,720
Stay tuned.

75
00:04:21,820 --> 00:04:23,640
We’ll be telling you all about it soon!

76
00:04:28,020 --> 00:04:29,260
Thank you for watching.

77
00:04:29,260 --> 00:04:30,440
See you next time.

78
00:04:30,560 --> 00:00:00,000
