2
00:00:09,220 --> 00:00:12,420
In today’s episode we’ll be telling you
about new sounds in the game,

3
00:00:12,420 --> 00:00:14,800
answering the most common
questions from players

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,000
and we’ll also be talking 
about the War Herald.

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:19,950
Hello tankers!

6
00:00:19,950 --> 00:00:21,990
New Friday, new V-LOG.

7
00:00:21,990 --> 00:00:25,790
A new update came out this week,
which made the ball spin in Rugby.

8
00:00:25,790 --> 00:00:29,430
This was planned for the initial release
of the mode, but was a bit late.

9
00:00:29,430 --> 00:00:32,200
Now when the ball is spinning
it looks much better.

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,970
One more small change happened to
the sound the turret makes while rotating.

11
00:00:35,970 --> 00:00:37,150
Now it’s quieter.

12
00:00:37,150 --> 00:00:40,200
After this change was made,
our video producer - Nikolay -

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,660
decided to bring the rest of
the sounds to the next level.

14
00:00:43,660 --> 00:00:45,770
Soon more new sounds
will be added to Rugby,

15
00:00:45,770 --> 00:00:47,520
like the sound of throwing the ball,

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,510
the sound when the ball touches the
ground or walls and when it’s rolling.

17
00:00:51,510 --> 00:00:54,240
Later we also want to 
add sounds to the Lobby,

18
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,160
right now it’s absolutely silent there and
only battle invites occasionally make noise.

19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,020
And the most noticeable part 
will be how different hulls

20
00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:04,340
will have unique sounds 
depending on their class -

21
00:01:04,340 --> 00:01:08,600
light hulls, medium hulls, and heavy hulls.

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,960
On Tuesday we asked you to send
questions for the devs via a special form,

23
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:17,920
let’s answer the most popular ones.

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,420
When will you fix the bug with
the preview image for Yorkshire?

25
00:01:22,420 --> 00:01:24,100
With the next release

26
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:27,980
When will the testing of
the mobile version start?

27
00:01:27,980 --> 00:01:31,760
Previously we shared the info that
the tests would start at the end of January,

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,440
and they have already begun.

29
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,030
These are the internal tests for
employees of the company,

30
00:01:36,030 --> 00:01:37,850
and the tests have shown good results -

31
00:01:37,850 --> 00:01:42,320
for the mobile version we’ve decided
to make a special, NOT html5 client,

32
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:45,260
and this solution already 
provides higher FPS.

33
00:01:45,260 --> 00:01:47,780
In Spring, we’ll start testing
the mobile version

34
00:01:47,780 --> 00:01:50,980
with a wider selection of players
- our dedicated testers.

35
00:01:51,020 --> 00:01:54,320
And only after that we’ll be able to 
share news about an open test,

36
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,880
where anyone can join,

37
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,510
and we’ll also talk about the release.

38
00:01:57,510 --> 00:02:02,500
It’s too soon to share specific dates -
we still have 2 big tests to be completed.

39
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:05,540
Make it so that when the gold box
doesn’t drop before the battle ends,

40
00:02:05,540 --> 00:02:07,800
it will drop at the start of the next battle.

41
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,540
Here we have a few problems:

42
00:02:09,550 --> 00:02:12,540
Right now, there’s no 
such option in the game.

43
00:02:12,540 --> 00:02:15,269
And since there’s none, 
we need to make it

44
00:02:15,269 --> 00:02:17,189
and have to answer 
another question -

45
00:02:17,189 --> 00:02:21,870
is this feature so important, that it’s
worth delaying other, bigger plans?

46
00:02:21,870 --> 00:02:23,670
No, not as important.

47
00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:27,540
Especially since Matchmaking 
is coming soon and with it,

48
00:02:27,540 --> 00:02:29,780
every new battle will have one round,

49
00:02:29,780 --> 00:02:32,320
so there’s nowhere to send the golds.

50
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,300
And about how the gold drops work:

51
00:02:34,310 --> 00:02:38,560
in the game there is a point in the match
after which gold boxes will no longer drop.

52
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,180
But not always battles end
when the timer runs out.

53
00:02:41,180 --> 00:02:44,920
For example, when a player is driving
with the last flag to win the match.

54
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:48,100
He might hear the gold box siren,
but still deliver the flag

55
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:50,080
and end the match before 
the gold is caught.

56
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,200
We cannot control such situations
and such “missing” golds still happen.

57
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,250
Also, there are players, who will drop
gold boxes right before the battle ends.

58
00:02:58,250 --> 00:03:00,459
For what purpose, we are yet to discover.

59
00:03:00,460 --> 00:03:04,000
To summarize: can we make sure
that no golds will be lost?

60
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,180
We can’t.

61
00:03:05,180 --> 00:03:08,660
Can we transfer the golds that didn’t
land before the next round started?

62
00:03:08,660 --> 00:03:10,800
Unfortunately, we can’t either.

63
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,680
In our opinion, it is not worth the
delay of other important features.

64
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,900
Will Tanki Online close down soon?

65
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:22,330
This is a very strange question, and we’re
surprised several players have sent it.

66
00:03:22,330 --> 00:03:24,740
No, we are not planning 
to close the game

67
00:03:24,740 --> 00:03:27,420
and right now we are hard 
at work on the mobile version,

68
00:03:27,420 --> 00:03:31,599
so the game can continue growing, live long
and be a home for even more players.

69
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,080
Don’t trust rumors.

70
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,300
When is the next Crazy Weekend?

71
00:03:35,300 --> 00:03:39,030
In the near future we’re not planning
to have another Crazy Weekend,

72
00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:42,989
because the War is very similar to
Crazy Weekends in mechanics,

73
00:03:42,989 --> 00:03:46,790
since you also need to make
enough kills to win prizes.

74
00:03:46,790 --> 00:03:49,340
But more about the War a bit later.

75
00:03:49,340 --> 00:03:51,460
When is the new XT equipment coming?

76
00:03:51,460 --> 00:03:54,320
We’ve already shared with you,
that new XT hulls and turrets

77
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,180
are coming AFTER we convert XT
gear from equipment into skins.

78
00:03:58,190 --> 00:04:00,200
The XT update is right now in development,

79
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,480
and in future V-LOGs we’ll share
more details about its release.

80
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,880
Will containers be added
as mission rewards?

81
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,000
They won’t be, and containers 
will remain as rewards

82
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,600
for completing the weekly mission chain,
starting with the second week.

83
00:04:14,660 --> 00:04:16,740
When will you fix all the cheating?

84
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:20,459
Unfortunately, to completely solve the
problem with cheating is impossible.

85
00:04:20,459 --> 00:04:22,970
The fight against cheaters
is a constant struggle -

86
00:04:22,970 --> 00:04:27,020
we release a new anti-cheat, cheaters
eventually find a way around it.

87
00:04:27,020 --> 00:04:30,560
We create an even better one, and
cheaters come up with something new.

88
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,440
This process can be compared to the
development of new weapons and new armor -

89
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,840
the stronger the armor,
the more powerful the next weapon.

90
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:40,720
Someone might think, that
the anti-cheat doesn’t work.

91
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:46,000
But these are players, who don’t know
how bad the cheating was in 2011 and 2012.

92
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,130
Back then, a cheater could join a battle,

93
00:04:48,130 --> 00:04:52,310
and within 1 second win it by
delivering twenty, thirty or forty flags.

94
00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:55,860
Today, cheats like jumping
are certainly very frustrating,

95
00:04:55,860 --> 00:04:58,820
but the impact they have
on battles is much less.

96
00:04:58,820 --> 00:05:01,680
Fighting the cheaters, Tanki
came to a certain point,

97
00:05:01,690 --> 00:05:05,810
where the way cheaters behave is very
close to a way an actual player would be,

98
00:05:05,810 --> 00:05:07,280
from the technical side.

99
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:10,470
Even looking straight at the cheaters
in live battles it’s hard to determine

100
00:05:10,470 --> 00:05:13,780
if the player is using cheats,
or if those are just lags.

101
00:05:13,780 --> 00:05:17,740
So the development of a better anti-cheat
has become very intricate work:

102
00:05:17,740 --> 00:05:20,210
on the one hand, we want to punish cheaters,

103
00:05:20,210 --> 00:05:23,320
on the other hand, we don’t want
to harm innocent players.

104
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,600
Don’t worry, we are fighting the cheaters
and are doing everything necessary.

105
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,460
When will you make 
better graphics for the game?

106
00:05:30,460 --> 00:05:34,900
Optimization for HTML5 and for 
the special mobile client

107
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:37,520
has shown good results 
and improved performance.

108
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,780
To keep it simple, we believe that
the new version of Tanki

109
00:05:40,780 --> 00:05:44,800
will have a better framerate both
on PC and smartphones.

110
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,419
With this knowledge, we decided
to experiment with graphics and

111
00:05:48,419 --> 00:05:53,610
right now our 3D-artists are working
on better detailed models for the tanks.

112
00:05:53,610 --> 00:05:55,940
Once we have the first results
with the new models,

113
00:05:55,940 --> 00:05:58,220
we’ll share them with you in the V-LOG.

114
00:05:58,220 --> 00:06:01,009
Will you add an option to
remove paints and modules

115
00:06:01,009 --> 00:06:03,030
that we don’t need from the Garage?

116
00:06:03,030 --> 00:06:05,540
We understand where these
suggestions are coming from -

117
00:06:05,540 --> 00:06:09,540
it would be easier to browse your Garage
if you remove what you don’t need,

118
00:06:09,550 --> 00:06:13,560
but doing so would not solve the
problem, just fix it, temporarily.

119
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,920
So the removal could help, but
could also introduce new problems,

120
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:17,880
for example:

121
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,480
someone has hacked your account,
deleted everything

122
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,220
and now you need to write to support and 
spend extra time solving the issue,

123
00:06:24,220 --> 00:06:26,340
or you just deleted 
something by mistake.

124
00:06:26,340 --> 00:06:29,360
Instead, we will make the Garage
interface easier to use,

125
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,460
and we’ll share what 
will be changed later,

126
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:35,200
but the problem of a long
equipping process will be gone.

127
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,360
Selecting questions for this episode we
couldn’t choose any concerning the War,

128
00:06:39,370 --> 00:06:40,870
and to learn more about the event

129
00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:43,920
check out the second issue of
the War Herald on the Forum!

130
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:46,620
Video of the Week.

131
00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:49,840
In the last episode we asked you
to record cool tricks in Rugby,

132
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:51,440
let’s check out the best video.

133
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,920
For the next episode you can
record a video in any mode,

134
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,300
but make sure you’re
wearing the Blue paint.

135
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,600
Tomorrow, on Saturday February 10th,

136
00:07:21,610 --> 00:07:25,060
a traditional carnival starts in the
Brazil region of Tanki Online,

137
00:07:25,060 --> 00:07:28,340
and it’s 4 days of crazy fun
with discounts and Golds.

138
00:07:28,340 --> 00:07:30,400
We ask European players not to worry,

139
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,020
as next week celebrations will also come to
the European Union with St. Valentine’s Day!

140
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,640
The holiday event will start February 14th
and continue for 4 days.

141
00:07:39,780 --> 00:07:42,740
More details will be revealed
closer to the start of the event.

142
00:07:45,420 --> 00:07:47,160
That’s it for today’s episode!

143
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,680
Prepare for St. Valentine’s and the War,

144
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:50,860
and see you next week!

145
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:51,500
Bye!

146
00:07:58,140 --> 00:08:01,770
In the last episode, Hammer fired
at 3 tanks and you had to guess

147
00:08:01,770 --> 00:08:04,419
how much damage Hornet would receive.

148
00:08:04,419 --> 00:08:08,199
The right answer is - 228 points of damage.

149
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,600
Welcome the winners and here’s the new question:

150
00:08:21,760 --> 00:00:00,000
On which mine will Viking explode?

[]
