1
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:16,880
Hello tankers!

2
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,260
Today we’ll be telling you about the
solution to the critical error problem.

3
00:00:20,260 --> 00:00:23,400
We’ll also be telling you more about
the matchmaking system,

4
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,080
and launching a contest with cool prizes.

5
00:00:27,340 --> 00:00:29,280
Let’s talk about critical errors

6
00:00:29,289 --> 00:00:32,950
the problem that EVERY tanker
has had AT LEAST once.

7
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:34,840
Two weeks ago we released an update

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,880
that was the result of a long
time effort in this direction.

9
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,899
Maybe some of you remember
the unexpected server reboots

10
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:44,780
where we had to roll back the release
because it was decreasing FPS.

11
00:00:44,780 --> 00:00:46,680
This week, we’ve released an update

12
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,730
that should fix the majority of
critical errors in the game.

13
00:00:49,730 --> 00:00:52,580
Of course, we’ll be tracking
our metrics very closely,

14
00:00:52,580 --> 00:00:56,280
and if any issues pop up, we’ll deal
with them as fast as we can.

15
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,880
And now, a question for you:

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,400
Have you experienced a critical error
between Wednesday and today?

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,320
Let us know in the special forum thread.

18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,519
But please, be honest in your reports.

19
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:09,900
If you give us incorrect information,
we can’t continue to improve the situation.

20
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,280
We’ve received quite a
few comments telling us,

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,400
“Don’t implement the Matchmaking system.

22
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,869
It will ruin everything!!!”

23
00:01:18,869 --> 00:01:22,100
However, these comments are
due to a lack of understanding

24
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:25,780
of what the Matchmaking system
REALLY is, and how it will work.

25
00:01:25,780 --> 00:01:27,380
So let’s discuss the details.

26
00:01:27,380 --> 00:01:31,420
Right now, we have a battle list that
consists of two different kinds of battles

27
00:01:31,420 --> 00:01:34,600
PRO-battles, and what
we can call “random” battles.

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,980
When you join a battle by
clicking the “Battle” button,

29
00:01:36,980 --> 00:01:41,860
it will have a fixed set of parameters such
as battle length, team size and so on.

30
00:01:41,860 --> 00:01:43,800
If you play Tanki just to relax,

31
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,920
and you want to jump right in
without giving it too much though,

32
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,700
the “Battle” button is what you need.

33
00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:52,000
PRO-battles allow you to
customize battles as you please.

34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,280
You can choose to play in an unusual map,

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,000
and even create a battle
in it, if there isn’t one.

36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,760
And you can tweak lots of parameters

37
00:01:58,770 --> 00:02:02,599
including battle time,
supplies, format and so on.

38
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,480
The current system with the
“Battle” button isn’t perfect, but it works.

39
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:07,899
It’s major flaw

40
00:02:07,899 --> 00:02:10,880
and this is something that
might surprise many tankers

41
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,660
is that the battles created by the Battle
button, are also IN the battle list.

42
00:02:15,660 --> 00:02:18,540
So the actual game problems, such as sabotage,

43
00:02:18,540 --> 00:02:22,640
aren’t being resolved, and the
balance of battles can be wrong.

44
00:02:22,650 --> 00:02:25,380
That’s why we’re working
on the Matchmaking system.

45
00:02:25,380 --> 00:02:28,360
Okay, so let’s have a
close look at what’s coming.

46
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,040
The lobby screen will change.

47
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,200
There will still be the communicator panel.

48
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,560
However, the battle list and battle
info panels will be removed,

49
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,660
and will be replaced by 6 buttons.

50
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:39,780
Here’s what those buttons will do.

51
00:02:39,780 --> 00:02:41,700
One is for playing a team battle,

52
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:46,760
where the matchmaking system will
send you to a battle in CTF, CP, or TDM.

53
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,140
One is for playing Deathmatch, where
you’ll be sent to a random DM Battle.

54
00:02:51,140 --> 00:02:53,260
Then there are buttons for CTF…

55
00:02:53,260 --> 00:02:54,920
TDM… and CP

56
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:58,680
where the matchmaking system will
send you to a battle in the respective mode.

57
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,680
The sixth button will send you
to the familiar Battle list,

58
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,000
where you will be able to create a
battle, or join an existing one.

59
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,760
This new battle list will differ
from the current one in a few ways.

60
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:15,040
Players will be able to create and join
battles, WITHOUT needing a PRO-pass.

61
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,140
In fact, we’ll be removing
the PRO-pass from the game.

62
00:03:18,140 --> 00:03:21,360
Players will be able to name
the battle they create.

63
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:27,480
So, the “From Dusk Till Dawn” and
“Cedric drops the gold” battles will return.

64
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,680
There will also be a feature that
is gonna upset some players

65
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:37,540
playing closed battles will not give you
any experience points or battle funds.

66
00:03:37,540 --> 00:03:40,560
It will be just like in Parkour mode.

67
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,720
If you’re wondering why,

68
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,960
it’s because our data shows that closed
battles are often used for power-leveling.

69
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,060
And that’s the reason behind this decision.

70
00:03:48,060 --> 00:03:50,300
So, that’s everything
about the battle list.

71
00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:53,800
Now, let’s take a closer look
at the remaining 5 buttons.

72
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,220
Choose the appropriate one.... and click.

73
00:03:56,220 --> 00:03:58,120
This takes you to a special screen

74
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,160
while the server searches for other
players who are also looking for a battle.

75
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,720
The system will give priority to
players who are in the same rank.

76
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,000
If there aren’t enough players in that rank,

77
00:04:08,010 --> 00:04:10,650
the system will make the
bracket progressively wider

78
00:04:10,650 --> 00:04:13,200
until it has found enough tankers for the
battle.

79
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,540
Once the system has found enough players,

80
00:04:15,540 --> 00:04:18,500
the loading screen will appear,
and the battle will be created.

81
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:22,520
If it is a DM battle, all the players
will go straight to the battle.

82
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,680
If it’s a team battle,

83
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,360
a team balancing system will first
separate the tankers into teams,

84
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,280
trying to make them
more or less equal,

85
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:31,800
and then it will send
all the players to the battle.

86
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,100
Before the battle starts,

87
00:04:33,110 --> 00:04:36,380
there will be a sentence on the
screen saying “Preparing for battle”,

88
00:04:36,380 --> 00:04:38,700
and a timer counting down to zero.

89
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:43,060
During this period, the score cannot
grow, and flags cannot be captured.

90
00:04:43,060 --> 00:04:45,260
You’ll be able to fire at your opponents,

91
00:04:45,260 --> 00:04:49,160
but you won’t gain anything from it,
so it will be pointless to do so.

92
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,840
As soon as the timer hits zero,

93
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:53,640
all the players will respawn,
and the battle will begin.

94
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,159
We made this time interval

95
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,900
to make sure that all players
have time to join the battle.

96
00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:00,160
You might be asking,

97
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,960
What if someone from my
team wasn’t able to join?

98
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,300
What if they got disconnected
during the battle?

99
00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:06,420
What if they leave?

100
00:05:06,420 --> 00:05:08,540
Will my team end up playing short?

101
00:05:08,540 --> 00:05:09,840
Of course not.

102
00:05:09,849 --> 00:05:12,650
If someone leaves the battle
for whatever reason,

103
00:05:12,650 --> 00:05:15,139
the team balancer will
immediately begin looking

104
00:05:15,139 --> 00:05:18,509
for a substitute from among those
players who are currently in the queue.

105
00:05:18,509 --> 00:05:21,680
When the battle ends, the
participants will get their reward

106
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,400
and return to the game lobby.

107
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,360
Wanna play more?

108
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,479
Just push the button!

109
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,100
Now, the big question about
the Matchmaking system:

110
00:05:30,460 --> 00:05:31,580
Of course you will!

111
00:05:31,580 --> 00:05:34,620
You’ll be able to do this
by creating a battle group,

112
00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:35,880
adding your friends to it,

113
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,659
and then pressing one
of the team battle buttons.

114
00:05:38,660 --> 00:05:41,880
You won’t be able to play DM
battles with your battle group.

115
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,160
As for your opponents,

116
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,500
the team balancer will find another
group of players from the queue,

117
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:48,360
and place them in the enemy team.

118
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,180
So, let’s sum things up.

119
00:05:50,180 --> 00:05:52,460
Once the matchmaking
system is implemented,

120
00:05:52,460 --> 00:05:54,760
you will be playing in
full battles regularly,

121
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,980
and earning a steady stream of crystals.

122
00:05:56,990 --> 00:06:00,120
Picking battles from the battle list
will be just like it is now

123
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,580
sometimes good... and sometimes bad.

124
00:06:02,580 --> 00:06:05,680
The release is planned for the end
of July or beginning of August.

125
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,700
Now, it’s time to see what came out
of last week’s V-LOG challenge!

126
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:15,720
Last week we gave you a
challenge on the Future map.

127
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,580
You had to jump from the roof...

128
00:06:17,580 --> 00:06:20,419
and land in the yard of the
house across the street…

129
00:06:20,419 --> 00:06:21,580
on your tracks.

130
00:06:21,580 --> 00:06:26,680
Well, someone tried to take the easy way out
and do the challenge in low gravity mode.

131
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:27,700
Come on guys!

132
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:30,400
This challenge is a piece
of cake on Space maps.

133
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,719
In fact, we didn’t mention space mode

134
00:06:32,719 --> 00:06:36,300
because it was pretty obvious that
we wanted you to do it in regular mode.

135
00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:39,740
Here are the names of the team members
who finished the challenge first…

136
00:06:39,740 --> 00:06:40,920
in normal mode.

137
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,660
Now, let’s watch them do it.

138
00:06:52,540 --> 00:06:53,740
Well done to the team.

139
00:06:53,749 --> 00:06:57,729
They’re getting 200 thousand
crystals to split among themselves.

140
00:06:57,729 --> 00:07:01,580
For next week, we’re going back to
the regular video of the week task.

141
00:07:01,580 --> 00:07:04,460
We want you to shoot a
frag-movie on Serpuhov.

142
00:07:04,460 --> 00:07:05,700
Use the Red paint.

143
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,680
You all like contests, right?

144
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,100
What about contests with BIGGER prizes?

145
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:14,439
Yeah, I thought so.

146
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,440
Here’s something you’re going to enjoy.

147
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,800
It’s a Tanki quiz.

148
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,980
It’s not very difficult, but it
will take quite some time.

149
00:07:20,980 --> 00:07:24,920
The first player who can finish the quiz
and answer all the questions correctly,

150
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,680
will get 10 gold boxes.

151
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,460
Anyone else who answers
all the questions correctly,

152
00:07:29,460 --> 00:07:31,080
will get one gold box.

153
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,080
But there’s more!

154
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,600
One randomly-chosen player from
among those who solve the quiz,

155
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,540
will be getting an awesome mechanical keyboard
the BlackWidow V2 Chroma from Razer.

156
00:07:40,540 --> 00:07:42,280
And now, something to think about.

157
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,490
We’ll be choosing a winner

158
00:07:43,490 --> 00:07:46,620
from among those who have answered
all of the questions correctly.

159
00:07:46,620 --> 00:07:50,220
This means that the fewer players
there are with all the correct answers,

160
00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:51,940
the bigger the chances of winning.

161
00:07:51,940 --> 00:07:55,580
So, think twice before sharing
the correct answers with other players.

162
00:07:55,580 --> 00:07:58,140
We’ll be announcing the results next Friday.

163
00:07:58,140 --> 00:08:01,020
The link to the quiz, is
in the V-LOG’s description.

164
00:08:01,020 --> 00:08:02,700
Also, next Friday,

165
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:06,460
we still haven’t decided whether we’ll
be having a V-LOG or a live stream.

166
00:08:06,460 --> 00:08:08,060
We’ll keep you posted.

167
00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:11,760
That’s it for today guys!
