00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:16,840
Hello tankers!

2
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,520
In today’s episode, we’ll be answering

3
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,200
some of your most frequently asked questions.

4
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,600
We’ll also be sharing with
you some useful advice,

5
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,380
and announcing a new Tanki meeting.

6
00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:31,440
We’re always answering many questions in
our live streams and other official platforms.

7
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,620
Today we’ll be answering some of the top
questions you asked us in a special forum thread.

8
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:41,500
The old repair kit won’t be coming back.

9
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:44,040
The new one functions exactly as intended.

10
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,740
The advantage that close combat and
high firing rate turrets got after the update,

11
00:00:48,740 --> 00:00:51,780
isn’t a balance bug, but an intended feature

12
00:00:51,780 --> 00:00:56,420
if you get too close to these
tanks in the arena, you will suffer.

13
00:00:56,420 --> 00:00:59,880
The old repair kit was breaking
the roles of the turrets.

14
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:05,099
It allowed long range turrets to get into duels
with close combat turrets on their territory.

15
00:01:05,099 --> 00:01:06,760
And that wasn’t a good thing.

16
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,980
Eventually, we might make small
changes to a few things

17
00:01:09,980 --> 00:01:13,320
such as healing speed, and
number of hitpoints recovered,

18
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:16,360
but the mechanic will
remain exactly as it is.

19
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,440
Anyway, any possible balance changes

20
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,760
will not happen before the Matchmaking
system is implemented.

21
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,260
Additionally, the price will not change.

22
00:01:24,260 --> 00:01:27,720
The repair kit still gives the
advantage in a one on one duel,

23
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,710
as well as the possibility of fully
recovering your hit points

24
00:01:30,710 --> 00:01:32,570
while out of active combat.

25
00:01:32,570 --> 00:01:36,120
The price of supplies is not
connected to their effectiveness.

26
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,420
For example Double damage and
Speed-up cost the same amount,

27
00:01:39,420 --> 00:01:41,540
but their effects cannot be compared.

28
00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:47,480
No, we aren’t.

29
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,640
In the future, all missions will have
to be completed in Matchmaking battles.

30
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,720
And there are 2 very
important reasons for this:

31
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,360
The first is that we want
to eliminate “unnatural” ways

32
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,420
of dealing with small missions
such as “Get boxes in a battle”,

33
00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:06,900
as well as big ones such
as “Get 10 thousand kills”.

34
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:09,180
The second reason is no surprise.

35
00:02:09,180 --> 00:02:10,240
In online games,

36
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:15,240
daily missions or quests are intended
to keep a high number of online users.

37
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:20,680
And that’s because in multiplayer games,
players are the content for each other.

38
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,660
In PRO-battles, players are
broken up into many small groups:

39
00:02:25,660 --> 00:02:28,240
one group plays XP/BP only,

40
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,720
another is only interested
in NON-supplies battles,

41
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,080
and someone else might enjoy
the craziness of no-cooldown battles.

42
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,380
And all of this decreases the
“effective” online population.

43
00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:46,280
No. On one hand, modules
need some fine-tuning,

44
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,140
but this is not related to the
number of resistances in modules.

45
00:02:50,140 --> 00:02:53,400
Here’s what will happen if we
add 4-slot resistance modules…

46
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,680
First, they will be extremely expensive,

47
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,980
which means that only a small
number of players will be able to buy it,

48
00:02:58,989 --> 00:03:00,660
creating a Pay-to-win situation.

49
00:03:00,660 --> 00:03:03,200
And we’re sure you don’t want that.

50
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,240
Second, 3 slots modules will lose their relevance,
and that is unfair on EVERYONE!

51
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,740
Third, eventually, players will get 50%
resistance against all turrets,

52
00:03:13,740 --> 00:03:18,920
and this will break the game process
that is tuned to a specific lifetime for tanks.

53
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:20,580
And to deal with that new problem,

54
00:03:20,590 --> 00:03:23,239
we would have to add something
for additional damage,

55
00:03:23,239 --> 00:03:25,810
which would mean new
micro-upgrades, tons of crystals,

56
00:03:25,810 --> 00:03:28,400
and even more Pay-to-win, which is bad.

57
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,620
Resistances were created
to make the game more diverse,

58
00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:34,260
not just as a simple health boost.

59
00:03:34,260 --> 00:03:36,020
If we do something to modules,

60
00:03:36,020 --> 00:03:38,300
it will be to cater for specialized roles,

61
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:41,300
for example Flag catchers,
base defense, and so on.

62
00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:45,900
But such plans are at the very
end of a very long queue.

63
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:54,340
Right now, we’re testing
battle groups of 5.

64
00:03:54,340 --> 00:03:58,680
After the Matchmaking system is released,
this number might be changed.

65
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,860
We still don’t have a final decision,
because it’s still too early.

66
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:10,640
We have some ideas for new turrets
and hulls, but for now, they’re just ideas.

67
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,140
Developing of a new turret
or hull is a huge task.

68
00:04:14,140 --> 00:04:16,839
Right now, we do not have
the resources for it,

69
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,619
and our primary focus is on
moving into the new technology,

70
00:04:20,620 --> 00:04:25,380
which means that there won’t be any
new turrets or hulls in the near future.

71
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,780
Since the very beginning,

72
00:04:30,780 --> 00:04:34,260
XT’s were meant as skins
for hulls and turrets.

73
00:04:34,260 --> 00:04:39,140
However, due to technical restrictions,
we created them as exclusive tanks.

74
00:04:39,140 --> 00:04:45,120
But this is not practical, because XT’s
are simply equipment clones in the Garage.

75
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,120
So before we start
making new XT equipment,

76
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,900
we first need to convert
the current XT’s into skins,

77
00:04:51,900 --> 00:04:55,840
turning them into an option
for standard equipment.

78
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:59,860
This means that the Alteration
question is resolved.

79
00:04:59,860 --> 00:05:01,880
But as we’ve said before,

80
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,920
our top priorities for now are the
Matchmaking system and HTML5.

81
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,740
Video of the week.

82
00:05:10,740 --> 00:05:11,840
In the last episode,

83
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:14,300
we asked you to shoot a
video on the Kungur map,

84
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:15,900
wearing the White paint.

85
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:17,760
Here is the best entry we received.

86
00:05:46,940 --> 00:05:48,880
The topic for next episode is open.

87
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,320
You can do whatever you want,

88
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,280
but try to do something very new...

89
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:53,540
something unusual.

90
00:05:53,540 --> 00:05:56,200
And we don’t mean some
unusual kind of parkour.

91
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,900
We mean something REALLY new.

92
00:06:00,780 --> 00:06:02,680
It’s time for a new lifehack.

93
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,380
From your feedback, we’ve realized

94
00:06:04,380 --> 00:06:07,740
that not  everyone understands
exactly how Overdrive works.

95
00:06:07,740 --> 00:06:09,080
So let’s explain it.

96
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,060
When Overdrive is ready for action,
a small star will appear above your tank.

97
00:06:13,060 --> 00:06:14,060
All you need to do,

98
00:06:14,060 --> 00:06:16,580
is wait for the right moment
to activate the ability,

99
00:06:16,580 --> 00:06:19,080
and then destroy everything in your path.

100
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,860
The default key for
using Overdrive, is Shift.

101
00:06:21,860 --> 00:06:24,800
Here is one more tip that we
still haven’t shared with you.

102
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,240
If you’re in battle and you
want to visit your garage,

103
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,300
you can do so by pressing G.

104
00:06:29,300 --> 00:06:33,360
This is a lot more convenient than clicking
on the Garage button at the top of the screen,

105
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,140
especially if you play
using the keyboard only.

106
00:06:36,140 --> 00:06:39,160
Of course, you can always remap
keys in the Settings menu.

107
00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:42,620
Hello everyone.

108
00:06:42,620 --> 00:06:46,280
This Saturday, 21st of July at 17:00 UTC,

109
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:50,720
we’re going to have the Grand Final
of the Domination Series 2 Tournament

110
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,831
between All Kind vs Synergy,

111
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:56,660
two of the very best clans
in our communities.

112
00:06:56,660 --> 00:07:01,820
One of them is already guaranteed
3,000,000 crystals and the Gladiator Paint.

113
00:07:01,820 --> 00:07:06,240
But what they’re really fighting for
is a grand prize of 4,000,000 crystals,

114
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,199
plus Acid Paint, plus
the Spectrum M-B Module.

115
00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:13,110
So, make sure you tune
in to our esports channel

116
00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:16,240
tomorrow at 17:00 UTC this Saturday,

117
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,540
and watch the Grand Final and find
out who’s gonna win this tournament

118
00:07:20,540 --> 00:07:23,160
whether it’s gonna be All Kind or Synergy.

119
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,560
Also, we have a really cool new
tournament lined up after this one,

120
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,080
as soon as we wrap up Domination Series.

121
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:35,040
It’s gonna be an XP/BP tournament for
tandem teams… in Space mode.

122
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,220
It’s gonna be a lot of fun,
with some really nice prizes.

123
00:07:38,220 --> 00:07:40,460
We’ll give you more details later on,

124
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:44,280
but do keep your eyes on the news
because we’re opening registrations soon.

125
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:44,840
See you!

126
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,040
Tanki continues its tradition of
organizing offline events for players.

127
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,200
Last summer, our developers
visited Armenia and Georgia,

128
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,620
while in 2015 there was the Tanki road trip.

129
00:07:57,620 --> 00:07:58,940
So what now?

130
00:07:58,940 --> 00:08:03,120
This time, Tanki Online and
Tanki X will be visiting Moscow!

131
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,300
On the 9 of September,

132
00:08:04,310 --> 00:08:08,639
we’ll be organizing an event in a cool
club called Brooklyn Hall, in Moscow.

133
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,520
During the event, tankers will be able
to ask questions to Semyon Strizhak,

134
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,100
and to Vladimir Beletskiy from Tanki X.

135
00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:18,020
There will also be plenty of
contests and other activities

136
00:08:18,020 --> 00:08:22,080
where participants will be able to
win cool in-game and real prizes.

137
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,780
Attendees will also be meeting
the game developers,

138
00:08:24,780 --> 00:08:28,720
and more importantly, they will be meeting
and getting to know other tankers!

139
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,159
We’ll be sharing more details about
the meeting in the next episodes.

140
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:32,799
Stay tuned!

141
00:08:35,380 --> 00:08:37,360
Great news for our tankers!

142
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,039
This Saturday there will be 3
good reasons to visit Tanki:

143
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:45,620
50 percent sale on micro-upgrades
and 70 percent on speed-ups.

144
00:08:45,620 --> 00:08:50,940
A special bundle in the Shop with Premium
account, gold boxes, supplies and crystals.

145
00:08:50,940 --> 00:08:54,060
And finally, a discount
on crystals in the shop,

146
00:08:54,060 --> 00:08:57,120
that can be combined
with a crystal bonus card.

147
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,740
The event starts this Saturday
with the server restart at 2am UTC,

148
00:09:01,740 --> 00:09:05,320
and will last for 24 hours
till the Sunday restart.

149
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:06,580
Go get it!

150
00:09:06,580 --> 00:09:08,340
That’s all we have for you today.

151
00:09:08,340 --> 00:09:11,060
Make sure you subscribe
to our channel! See ya!

152
00:09:17,180 --> 00:09:21,760
Last time, Viking-Ricochet was
firing into a wall at very close range.

153
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,260
You had to guess how many shots
it would take for it to self-destruct.

154
00:09:25,260 --> 00:09:27,360
The correct answer is... 12.

155
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:30,500
Here are our winners.
And here’s the new question.[]
