1
00:00:15,650 --> 00:00:16,740
Hello tankers!

2
00:00:16,740 --> 00:00:17,740
In today’s episode,

3
00:00:17,740 --> 00:00:20,910
we’ll be talking about the upcoming
testing for the matchmaking system.

4
00:00:20,910 --> 00:00:23,090
We’ll also have a special
farewell message,

5
00:00:23,090 --> 00:00:25,380
and announcing a
tournament with Ricochet.

6
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:29,260
We’ve been telling you a lot how
the matchmaking system

7
00:00:29,260 --> 00:00:31,699
is getting closer and
closer to being released.

8
00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:33,460
We’ve been testing the new system,

9
00:00:33,460 --> 00:00:35,600
and some of you have
already had the opportunity

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,880
to see how it works on the test servers.

11
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,420
Very soon we’ll be organizing a mass testing,

12
00:00:40,420 --> 00:00:42,980
and everyone will be able
to try out the new system.

13
00:00:42,980 --> 00:00:48,600
In general, mass-tests on test servers
are good for testing updates with a big load.

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,680
However, they are not always good
for testing gameplay updates,

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,980
because all of the participants are
Legends with a fully-upgraded M3 Garage.

16
00:00:56,980 --> 00:01:00,520
This is why the test will be run...
on our main servers!

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,040
Here’s how it will work.

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,980
The battle list, will only contain battles
that have been created by players.

19
00:01:05,980 --> 00:01:09,840
Then there are the battles that have
been created by the Matchmaking system.

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,440
Those battles will not
be visible in the battle list.

21
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,900
They will be quick battles with standard
rules, and will kick off with full teams.

22
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:20,760
Each battle will last 10 minutes,
plus 30 seconds for setup.

23
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,620
In the battle list, everything
will remain as it was.

24
00:01:23,620 --> 00:01:26,180
You’ll be able to create battles
with your own settings,

25
00:01:26,180 --> 00:01:28,820
or join any existing battle in the list.

26
00:01:28,820 --> 00:01:30,660
Moreover, during the test,

27
00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:35,220
every tanker will be able to create
custom battles without needing a PRO-pass.

28
00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:40,300
Our main goal is to check how well the
mechanism works in the actual game,

29
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:43,720
battle creation speed, capacity, and so on.

30
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,860
If everything goes as planned,

31
00:01:45,860 --> 00:01:51,280
the test will last around 2 days
maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less.

32
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,900
After the test, everything
will go back to normal

33
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:56,210
and we’ll analyze the data
that we’ve collected.

34
00:01:56,210 --> 00:01:59,580
We’ll tell you all you need to know
about the test before it starts.

35
00:01:59,580 --> 00:02:00,440
Stay tuned!

36
00:02:03,390 --> 00:02:04,380
Hello everyone

37
00:02:04,390 --> 00:02:06,360
As you might have already heard

38
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,560
my journey with Tanki
Online is about to end

39
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,120
For those of you who are wondering
no, I wasn’t planning on leaving

40
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,700
However, another company
has given me the chance

41
00:02:16,700 --> 00:02:20,310
to work in a role that really fits my career

42
00:02:20,310 --> 00:02:25,129
This is a very important opportunity for me
and I cannot let it go to waste

43
00:02:25,129 --> 00:02:28,620
So I’ve decided to take
the offer and move on

44
00:02:28,620 --> 00:02:30,150
However, I want to reassure you

45
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:33,400
that I am not leaving the
community unattended

46
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,450
I’ll still be working full-time
till the end of August

47
00:02:36,450 --> 00:02:38,709
and preparing everything
so that my successor

48
00:02:38,709 --> 00:02:42,880
can take over my role
without any bumps or hiccups

49
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,220
Work in the community will go on as usual

50
00:02:45,220 --> 00:02:48,240
All of the helper teams know
exactly what they need to do

51
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,660
and I’m confident that they
will continue doing a great job

52
00:02:52,260 --> 00:02:53,300
On my part,

53
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:57,860
I want to thank you for having welcomed
me as your community manager

54
00:02:57,860 --> 00:03:02,240
And thank you for all the conversations
and laughs that we had

55
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,280
and for all the support

56
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,860
I will definitely miss you all

57
00:03:06,860 --> 00:03:09,540
But I’d like to conclude on a positive note

58
00:03:09,549 --> 00:03:10,549
If you remember,

59
00:03:10,549 --> 00:03:16,340
one of the first things I did when I became
community manager in April 2016

60
00:03:16,340 --> 00:03:19,400
was to organize a meme contest

61
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,400
So I wanna wrap up my stay here
by having another meme contest

62
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,420
this time with the theme “Goodbye Cedric”

63
00:03:26,420 --> 00:03:30,040
Your job, is to create a
meme using that topic

64
00:03:30,049 --> 00:03:32,169
to give me your farewell

65
00:03:32,169 --> 00:03:35,930
You can use screenshots from
any of my appearances on video

66
00:03:35,930 --> 00:03:42,720
However, please DO NOT use any of my
personal photos that you might find online

67
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,900
Please limit yourselves to
official appearances only

68
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:48,300
such as V-LOGS and livestreams

69
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:49,940
You’ll need to post your meme

70
00:03:49,940 --> 00:03:53,260
in a special thread in the
News and Announcements forum

71
00:03:53,260 --> 00:03:57,189
I’ll be rewarding my favorite entries
with 1 day of premium each

72
00:03:57,189 --> 00:04:02,240
and I’ll also be giving out prizes
to those entries that get the most likes

73
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,960
You’ll find all the details for the
contest inside the official thread.

74
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,580
The link is in the v-log’s description

75
00:04:08,580 --> 00:04:10,800
I look forward to seeing
what you come up with

76
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:17,100
And in the meantime, have fun, take care
and I’ll talk to you in the forum

77
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:22,740
Good news for all those
who love tournaments.

78
00:04:22,740 --> 00:04:26,700
Registrations for the TOF Solo
Ricochet tournament are open.

79
00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:28,020
This is a solo tournament where

80
00:04:28,020 --> 00:04:32,680
anyone with a rank of Brigadier or higher,
and a Ricochet turret, can participate.

81
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,700
You can choose any hull you want.

82
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:39,160
Registrations close this Saturday,
August 5th, at 9pm UTC.

83
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,800
The prizes are crazy.

84
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,180
The best Ricochet player will
get 700 thousand crystals,

85
00:04:44,180 --> 00:04:47,880
a fully upgraded XT turret,
the prestigious ACID paint,

86
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,520
and the legendary Spectrum module
with 20% resistances against all the turrets.

87
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,600
And in mid-August, we’ll also be opening
registrations for another tournament

88
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,100
TOF Solo Hammer,

89
00:04:58,100 --> 00:05:01,900
while in early September you
can expect TOF Solo Thunder.

90
00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:04,100
Choose your favorite turret and take part!

91
00:05:06,260 --> 00:05:07,580
Video of the week.

92
00:05:07,580 --> 00:05:10,380
Last week, we asked you to
shoot a space frag-movie.

93
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,940
Let’s see the best entry.

94
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,520
For next time, we have
another Tanki CHALLENGE.

95
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,720
The V-LOG helpers team has
prepared this task for you.

96
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,200
You need to jump with your tank,

97
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,639
from THIS place...

98
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,440
to THIS roof on the
SPACE Lost Temple map,

99
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,600
without using any mines.

100
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,060
The jumper must land tracks down,
WITHOUT any corrections after landing.

101
00:05:59,060 --> 00:06:01,560
All participants must use the white paint.

102
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,220
Your team can have a
maximum of 3 players,

103
00:06:04,220 --> 00:06:06,880
and you need to send us
your video via the special form.

104
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,940
The link is in the V-LOG’s description.

105
00:06:08,940 --> 00:06:13,060
This time we have 2 prizes,
each of 200 thousand crystals:

106
00:06:13,060 --> 00:06:15,900
One for the first team that
completes the challenge

107
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:18,960
the second for the team
that submits the best video

108
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,460
However, prizes will not add up, so if the
first team to complete the challenge

109
00:06:23,460 --> 00:06:27,060
is ALSO the best, the second
prize will be lost. Good luck!

110
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,940
This weekend we’ll be
having a SUMMER SALE event.

111
00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:34,800
Throughout Saturday and Sunday,

112
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,160
we’ll be having special
decorations, paints and gifts,

113
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,439
and Gold Boxes will be
dropping 5 times more often.

114
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:44,060
We’ll also be having special daily missions

115
00:06:44,060 --> 00:06:48,110
that will be tougher to complete,
but that will bring bigger rewards.

116
00:06:48,110 --> 00:06:50,040
And of course, sales!

117
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,060
On Saturday, we’ll be having
discounts on Shop items.

118
00:06:53,060 --> 00:06:57,260
Then on Sunday, we’ll be
slashing prices on turrets, hulls

119
00:06:57,260 --> 00:07:00,960
protection modules, alterations
and micro-upgrades in the Garage.

120
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:06,539
And finally, garage paints, supplies and
gifts will be discounted during both days.

121
00:07:06,540 --> 00:07:07,680
It will be hot!

122
00:07:10,140 --> 00:07:11,420
That’s it for today!

123
00:07:11,420 --> 00:07:13,420
Watch out for the matchmaking test,

124
00:07:13,420 --> 00:07:15,600
and share your thoughts
with us on the forum!

125
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,420
See ya!

126
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,020
Last week you had to guess

127
00:07:25,020 --> 00:07:27,740
how many tanks would get
the shared overdrive effect.

128
00:07:27,740 --> 00:07:30,320
The correct answer is... 7.

129
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,000
Here are our winners, and
here’s the new question.[]
