1
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:06,080
Hello, tankers!

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,920
Today’s episode is going to be a very special one.

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,920
We’re excited to finally be able
to share with you

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,020
some of the coolest and most important
upcoming changes in the game,

5
00:00:14,020 --> 00:00:16,520
which we’ve been working on
for the past few months.

6
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:20,660
Everyone in the office has been helping us
test the upcoming updates,

7
00:00:20,660 --> 00:00:23,580
and it was pretty hard
to keep everyone from spilling the beans.

8
00:00:23,580 --> 00:00:26,130
There’s going to be a simplified levelling-up system,

9
00:00:26,130 --> 00:00:27,880
a new mechanic for modules,

10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,280
a ranked mode, and a few new additions.

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,080
Watch this episode carefully
because it contains a lot of new information.

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,540
If anything is unclear... just rewind!

13
00:00:37,300 --> 00:00:40,040
You might be wondering why we need big changes

14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:45,160
We love Tanki X because of its dynamic battles,
weapons variety, and crazy gameplay.

15
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:50,660
As developers, we want to retain these qualities,
and if possible, also add a few more exciting goals

16
00:00:50,660 --> 00:00:53,000
and rewards for our players to focus on.

17
00:00:56,060 --> 00:00:59,500
Let’s start with the new system
for levelling up turrets and hulls.

18
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:01,620
We’re getting rid of the “Mastery” mechanic.

19
00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:04,220
We’re also slashing the maximum number of upgrades

20
00:01:04,220 --> 00:01:06,700
to 10 levels, and making them free.

21
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:09,859
Additionally, upgrades will no longer directly affect

22
00:01:09,859 --> 00:01:12,340
a hull’s speed or a turret’s firing rate.

23
00:01:12,340 --> 00:01:14,380
So... what will the new upgrades do?

24
00:01:14,380 --> 00:01:18,140
They will unlock skins
or other rewards at different levels.

25
00:01:18,140 --> 00:01:20,840
But most importantly,
they will unlock module slots,

26
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:27,300
which are now the most important aspect
of the new gameplay, and the key to your tank’s power.

27
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:29,180
While we’re on the topic of modules,

28
00:01:29,180 --> 00:01:32,760
this is the gameplay aspect
that will be most affected by the new changes.

29
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,620
You will have a total of 6 module slots available.

30
00:01:35,620 --> 00:01:40,420
You will be able to install modules
on both hulls and turrets — specifically, 3 in each.

31
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,060
After the update, every module in a hull
will grant an ability, and improved armor,

32
00:01:45,060 --> 00:01:49,340
while installing a module in a turret
will grant an ability, and improved damage.

33
00:01:49,380 --> 00:01:53,080
So, your tank’s power will now depend
on the modules that you’ve installed,

34
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,600
rather than the upgrades.

35
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,200
And for those players who don’t enjoy crafting,

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,960
the good news is that you’ll no longer need
resources to craft modules.

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,600
Instead, you’ll be using blueprints,
which will come in containers.

38
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,100
Once you’ve gathered the required amount
of blueprints,

39
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:09,020
you will be able to craft the module.

40
00:02:09,020 --> 00:02:11,640
You will also be able to upgrade your modules,

41
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:15,280
which will most probably
turn the whole thing into a gear race.

42
00:02:15,660 --> 00:02:19,700
The higher the module level,
the more armor or damage it will grant.

43
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:20,400
For example

44
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,700
it will gradually increase the amount of hit points

45
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:24,840
restored by the “Reanimation” module,

46
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,120
or the damage dealt by Spider mines.

47
00:02:27,420 --> 00:02:30,700
Upgrading modules will also require blueprints.

48
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:34,220
The higher the upgrade level, the bigger the requirement.

49
00:02:34,220 --> 00:02:37,580
The new system will no longer
split modules into classes.

50
00:02:37,820 --> 00:02:41,520
Instead, the new modules
will simply belong to one of two categories:

51
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,580
hull modules and turret modules

52
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:45,320
— two active and one passive.

53
00:02:45,460 --> 00:02:48,280
The active ones will be triggered
at the push of a button.

54
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,480
The passive ones will work independently
and will trigger under certain circumstances

55
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,700
or they will simply grant a permanent effect.

56
00:02:55,100 --> 00:03:00,180
It will not be possible to install duplicates
of a module, for example two Spider mines.

57
00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:02,640
Another thing we took into consideration,

58
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:07,940
is that the abilities on the old modules
had a very long recharge time.

59
00:03:07,940 --> 00:03:13,520
Players were getting impatient
waiting for an ability to finish its cooldown.

60
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:18,060
So we’ve decided to allow you
to use these abilities more often.

61
00:03:18,060 --> 00:03:22,159
This should make battles
more dynamic and even more fun!

62
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,280
But what about the new modules themselves?

63
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,520
We’ve already talked about
the “Force Field” and “Reanimation” modules.

64
00:03:27,820 --> 00:03:29,960
We’ve also mentioned the drone module.

65
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,600
This will be a weaponized quadcopter
that will assist you in battle.

66
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,820
There are a couple of other modules that
have made it through the tough selection process.

67
00:03:37,820 --> 00:03:43,160
These include modules such as Rage,
Ice Trap, Invulnerability, and a few others.

68
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,320
You’ll be able to decide
which ones to install on your tank.

69
00:03:49,540 --> 00:03:52,500
Last time, we told you about leagues,
and in this episode,

70
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:55,160
we’ll be expanding on that topic a bit more.

71
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,140
Leagues will be implemented along
with a special mode called “Ranked battle”.

72
00:03:59,140 --> 00:04:02,240
This will be the only mode
that will affect the ranking ladder.

73
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,620
As you climb to the top of the ranking ladder,
you will earn Crystals and blueprints

74
00:04:06,620 --> 00:04:09,180
that you can use to craft or upgrade modules.

75
00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:12,920
You will also get huge rewards
at the end of every ranking season.

76
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,880
For now, we ve decided that
seasons should last a month.

77
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,560
“Quick play” will be the best way to earn charges.

78
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,500
These will work as a kind of currency
that allows you to play “Ranked battles”.

79
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:24,470
You will have a few charges available daily,

80
00:04:24,470 --> 00:04:27,480
and the number of charges
you can earn every day will be limited.

81
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,400
Any charges earned over the daily limit,
will be converted into Crystals.

82
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,920
Keep in mind that the more prestigious a league is,

83
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,960
the more charges it will cost to enter a “Ranked battle”.

84
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,980
Ranked battles will now provide
the most intense Tanki X experience!

85
00:04:40,980 --> 00:04:44,280
The rest of the modes
will mostly serve as training simulations,

86
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:46,600
or simply as another way to level up your tank.

87
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,780
Oh, and by the way,
“Ranked battle” and “Quick Play”

88
00:04:49,780 --> 00:04:52,360
will only be available for team based modes.

89
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,690
“Deathmatch”, also known as DM,
will become a separate mode

90
00:04:55,690 --> 00:04:58,760
in which players will only earn experience points.

91
00:04:59,060 --> 00:05:01,720
The higher the league - the better the rewards.

92
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,040
Level up faster
and recharge your Teleports in “Quick Play”,

93
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,920
in order to battle
against more challenging opponents.

94
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,080
Ranked battles are also the only way
to get blueprints for building the coolest modules,

95
00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:14,860
which will ultimately
help you build the deadliest tank!

96
00:05:18,860 --> 00:05:22,580
With the addition of leagues,
the matchmaking algorithm will also change.

97
00:05:22,580 --> 00:05:25,440
Players will now be matched
depending on their reputation,

98
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,460
which will be an indicator of their skill.

99
00:05:27,460 --> 00:05:30,740
This is the same indicator
we told you about in the last episode.

100
00:05:30,740 --> 00:05:34,520
It will change depending
on a player’s wins and losses in “Ranked battles”.

101
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,460
This indicator will also affect
your position on the ranking ladder.

102
00:05:38,460 --> 00:05:42,840
Leaving a game prematurely will have
even more severe consequences than before,

103
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:45,220
including the loss of reputation points.

104
00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:48,180
For those with the “Deserter” status,
it will be even worse.

105
00:05:48,180 --> 00:05:52,720
The reason for having such severe
consequences for abandoning a battle,

106
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,820
is that players tend
to let their team down too often.

107
00:05:55,820 --> 00:05:59,740
We believe that this approach will
make players think twice before leaving a battle.

108
00:05:59,740 --> 00:06:02,280
If they still decide to leave battles prematurely

109
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:04,400
despite the reputation penalty,

110
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,220
they will end up at the bottom
of the ranking ladder.

111
00:06:07,220 --> 00:06:12,440
It is always advantageous to finish battles,
because even if you’re on the losing team,

112
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,800
you will still earn some kind of reward.

113
00:06:15,220 --> 00:06:18,580
The usual battle funds
will be replaced with new loot containers

114
00:06:18,580 --> 00:06:23,180
that will contain two types of rewards
- blue crystals, and blueprints for modules.

115
00:06:23,180 --> 00:06:27,340
A special progress bar will indicate
the number of points you get from each battle.

116
00:06:27,340 --> 00:06:30,800
Once the bar has filled up completely,
you will receive the container.

117
00:06:31,380 --> 00:06:33,360
Since there will be no funds in the new system,

118
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,180
we will rework gold boxes
to make them drop a different kind of reward.

119
00:06:37,580 --> 00:06:41,200
The first Ranked Season will be a trial,
and will last a month.

120
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,200
During this period,
the final product may change.

121
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,500
However, the season rewards are fixed,
so you don’t need to worry about those.

122
00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:53,100
Of course, we will save all of your achievements,
the current level of every hull, turret

123
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:57,120
or piece of equipment you own,
as well as your modules, resources, containers,

124
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,320
and other items.

125
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,920
All of these will be converted
nto the levels and rewards for the new system.

126
00:07:06,140 --> 00:07:07,620
So, let’s sum it all up.

127
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,080
There are three important things
you need to remember.

128
00:07:10,380 --> 00:07:11,300
Number one…

129
00:07:11,740 --> 00:07:13,180
Fast and free levelling-up,

130
00:07:13,180 --> 00:07:16,100
and ten upgrade levels
that will open up module slots.

131
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,340
Number two…

132
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,180
The strength of your tank
now relies on modules.

133
00:07:20,180 --> 00:07:23,220
You’ll have four active modules
and two passive ones,

134
00:07:23,220 --> 00:07:26,840
for a total of six —
three in your hull and three in your turret.

135
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,880
They will grant your tank new abilities,
stronger armor, and higher damage.

136
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,160
Number three…

137
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,480
There are now two team based modes
- quick play and ranked battle.

138
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,020
You can play the regular quick play,

139
00:07:38,020 --> 00:07:41,300
in which you can level-up your tank
just like everybody else.

140
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:44,940
Or... you can play ranked battles
against more challenging opponents.

141
00:07:44,940 --> 00:07:47,100
This will grant you a placement in the league,

142
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:50,080
and rewards that will allow you
to improve your tank even more.

143
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:55,240
We’re super happy to have reached
the final steps in the development of these updates,

144
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:58,140
and very excited to see our game reborn!

145
00:07:58,260 --> 00:08:00,120
Hopefully, you guys are too.

146
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,760
In the coming days, we will be celebrating
two important events:

147
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,440
Tanker’s Day, and the Tanki X Anniversary.

148
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,260
For this occasion, we’ve planned
a celebration that will last 8 days.

149
00:08:13,260 --> 00:08:17,680
Throughout the celebration, you will be able
to earn a new rare container in battle.

150
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,880
It will contain all of the paints that we’ve
released

151
00:08:19,889 --> 00:08:22,550
on every celebration during the past year...

152
00:08:22,550 --> 00:08:23,820
plus a new one.

153
00:08:23,820 --> 00:08:26,860
Additionally, every celebration graffiti
from the past year,

154
00:08:26,860 --> 00:08:28,640
will be available for Crystals,

155
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,240
while a super-container with all the
celebration skins from the past year,

156
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,900
will be available in the garage for X-crystals.

157
00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:38,200
Of course, if the container drops a skin
that you already own,

158
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,520
you will receive a compensation in Crystals.

159
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,820
Additionally, every third day,
we will be increasing battle funds

160
00:08:43,820 --> 00:08:47,500
until they become double
on the 16th and 17th of September.

161
00:08:47,500 --> 00:08:51,820
We’re also going to run a few special offers
including a discount on X-crystals

162
00:08:51,820 --> 00:08:53,920
, and releasing a brand new wallpaper.

163
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,380
So, clear up your schedule and get ready
for a very unique and rare celebration.

164
00:08:58,540 --> 00:00:00,000
See ya![]
