00:00:09,370 --> 00:00:10,600
Hello tankers!

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,590
Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year to all of you!

3
00:00:13,590 --> 00:00:15,770
The in-game festivities
are in full swing.

4
00:00:15,770 --> 00:00:18,270
We’ve got special events, discounts,

5
00:00:18,270 --> 00:00:21,670
double funds, explosive
gold boxes and loads more.

6
00:00:21,670 --> 00:00:25,160
New Year's Eve is always the
best time to review our journey.

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,570
2018 has turned out to be a very
important year for Tanki Online.

8
00:00:29,570 --> 00:00:31,410
We delivered a huge
number of updates

9
00:00:31,410 --> 00:00:33,270
that have significantly
changed the game.

10
00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:35,420
Let’s have a quick look at
them.

11
00:00:35,420 --> 00:00:37,059
Grab the popcorn!!

12
00:00:37,059 --> 00:00:39,079
Let's start with the
new battle-modes.

13
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:40,329
Rugby and Juggernaut

14
00:00:40,329 --> 00:00:43,260
brought a whole lot of action
and fun to Tanki Online.

15
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:55,160
Meteorites, the new twist on gold
boxes also fall into this category,

16
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,629
and for this New Year's celebrations,

17
00:00:56,629 --> 00:00:59,540
we’re seeing this special
feature for the third time,

18
00:00:59,540 --> 00:01:02,350
but in the form of
exploding Christmas trees.

19
00:01:02,350 --> 00:01:04,360
Next, Missions.

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,080
This feature has evolved
a lot over the past year.

21
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,160
First, we canceled penalties
for breaking mission chains.

22
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,310
Then we replaced chains with weekly
tasks and new containers as rewards.

23
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:18,090
In parallel, we also had the War events.

24
00:01:18,090 --> 00:01:20,300
These brought us a new
mechanic with stars,

25
00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:23,760
which in turn, transformed Crazy
Weekends into Star Weeks,

26
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,320
which eventually became
Challenges with incredible prizes.

27
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:29,780
By the way, more than
ONE THOUSAND tankers

28
00:01:29,780 --> 00:01:33,290
have already completed the first
challenge in its first two weeks.

29
00:01:33,290 --> 00:01:37,030
And, of course, none of this would have
been possible without Matchmaking

30
00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:41,380
one of the most important updates
in the entire history of Tanki Online.

31
00:01:41,380 --> 00:01:43,880
You can praise or scold it, love or hate it,

32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,850
but this is a super important update

33
00:01:45,850 --> 00:01:49,610
that has simplified the game and also
made many other updates possible...

34
00:01:49,610 --> 00:01:50,860
with even more to come.

35
00:01:50,860 --> 00:01:52,740
Also, let’s not forget…

36
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:56,470
Drones — 15 additional
abilities for your tank…

37
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,180
a mega practical update
for protective modules...

38
00:02:00,660 --> 00:02:03,080
and a huge collection of Alterations.

39
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,420
These do not really give
you a specific advantage,

40
00:02:05,420 --> 00:02:08,780
but they tweak your tank for
specific combat scenarios.

41
00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:12,000
Additionally… the new
“nuclear energy” supply box,

42
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,480
which fully charges
your overdrive instantly…

43
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,420
Matchmaking maps
migrating to PRO battles…

44
00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:20,120
and the option to name them.

45
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,400
Battle duration was
reduced to 8 minutes,

46
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,720
but we’re still looking
for the perfect number.

47
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,340
Now customizations.

48
00:02:26,350 --> 00:02:28,269
We had a lot of these in 2018.

49
00:02:28,269 --> 00:02:30,010
Let’s start with Skins,

50
00:02:30,010 --> 00:02:34,000
which have been shifted from the
equipment category to the aesthetic category.

51
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,060
All XT hulls are now complete,
and XT turrets will be done soon.

52
00:02:38,060 --> 00:02:42,100
We also released the Legacy set
and the slightly insane Demonic Firebird.

53
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:49,000
In early November, we also
introduced shot effects for turrets.

54
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,340
Not all turrets have one yet,
we’re only just getting started.

55
00:02:52,349 --> 00:02:57,989
And, of course, paints… lots of
paints, both animated and standard.

56
00:02:57,989 --> 00:03:00,329
Cybersport was also quite active.

57
00:03:00,329 --> 00:03:02,760
The main change of
the year was Tankisport,

58
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,269
the special esport-portal that has greatly
simplified participation in tournaments,

59
00:03:07,269 --> 00:03:09,760
making them more
understandable and intuitive.

60
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,800
In 2018, advokatee was
nominated best player of the year,

61
00:03:13,810 --> 00:03:18,120
while Synergy earned the title of
Best Clan for the second year in a row.

62
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,220
And finally, global changes:

63
00:03:20,220 --> 00:03:22,640
Tanki has officially
launched in Iran.

64
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:23,820
YEAH!

65
00:03:23,820 --> 00:03:28,480
And for fans of Tanki-related video content,
we launched the “Youtuber TO” program.

66
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,129
If you’d like to join, you can
register on the special page.

67
00:03:32,129 --> 00:03:34,569
We also had a Tanki
meet-up in Krasnodar.

68
00:03:34,569 --> 00:03:36,320
The weather was quite
a disappointment,

69
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,880
but we still had a great time.

70
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,000
The main event for 2018

71
00:03:47,010 --> 00:03:49,610
has been the launch of the
mobile version of the game.

72
00:03:49,610 --> 00:03:54,370
In just a few months, we went from
Soft Launch, to Early Access, to VPNs,

73
00:03:54,370 --> 00:03:57,080
to European release,
and finally worldwide!

74
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,150
That’s right!

75
00:03:58,150 --> 00:03:59,500
In case you didn’t know,

76
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:03,440
TO Mobile is now available
worldwide on the Google Play Store.

77
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,680
Find it, download it, play it.

78
00:04:06,420 --> 00:04:09,660
The one thing that did NOT
happen this year, was Overdrives.

79
00:04:09,660 --> 00:04:12,540
We’re all really looking
forward to this new feature.

80
00:04:12,549 --> 00:04:16,529
It will be a brand new, awesome
milestone in the life of Tanki Online,

81
00:04:16,529 --> 00:04:19,619
and it will happen next year, in 2019.

82
00:04:19,620 --> 00:04:22,640
Besides Overdrives, we’ve
got more great features planned,

83
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,460
but that’s all we can say for now.

84
00:04:24,470 --> 00:04:26,460
Stay with us, watch our VLOGs,

85
00:04:26,460 --> 00:04:29,460
and be the first to learn
about all our exciting updates.

86
00:04:29,460 --> 00:04:32,080
Thank you for being with us in 2018.

87
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,580
See you in January!

88
00:04:33,580 --> 00:04:34,800
Enjoy your holidays!

89
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,460
Kasim: And do NOT miss...

90
00:04:36,460 --> 00:00:00,000
THE GAME!!![]
