1
00:00:09,099 --> 00:00:12,719
Today, we’ll be explaining how the
increased gold drop frequency works.

2
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:15,730
We’ll also be talking about
the upcoming March challenge,

3
00:00:15,730 --> 00:00:18,080
and discussing further tweaks
to the game’s balance.

4
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:21,320
Hello tankers!

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,500
Last week's most
popular comment was:

6
00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:26,079
“It wasn’t really 5 times gold
frequency!

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:27,779
Developers lied to us!”

8
00:00:27,780 --> 00:00:30,120
So let’s explain exactly how it works.

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,800
Gold box drop frequency used to depend
on how fast the battle fund was growing.

10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,000
So the faster the fund grew,
the more golds would drop.

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,920
But NOW in Matchmaking,
it works differently.

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,920
The gold drop rate is
calculated over time.

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,300
With a regular drop rate,

14
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:48,940
we estimate that a gold box should
drop on average every third battle.

15
00:00:48,940 --> 00:00:51,740
That’s a drop ratio of 1:3.

16
00:00:51,740 --> 00:00:56,620
If we multiply the drop frequency
by 5, the ratio becomes 5:3.

17
00:00:56,620 --> 00:01:00,360
This means that on average, more than
one gold should drop per battle.

18
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,239
So in most battles, you can expect
to see 1 or 2 golds dropping.

19
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:07,460
And on rare occasions, there
might be three... or none.

20
00:01:07,460 --> 00:01:09,560
We understand that
this can be a bit confusing,

21
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,600
and that some of you expected
to get 5 golds in every battle.

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,860
But remember, on ordinary days, you
still don’t get one box per battle.

23
00:01:16,860 --> 00:01:18,460
And the numbers don’t lie.

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,500
Due to technical reasons,

25
00:01:22,509 --> 00:01:25,859
the March Challenge will be starting
one day later than scheduled.

26
00:01:25,860 --> 00:01:29,760
So this event will kick off with the
server restart tomorrow, March 2nd.

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,140
As we had already hinted in past V-LOGs,

28
00:01:32,149 --> 00:01:35,110
the final prize in this Challenge
is the Hornet Legacy skin.

29
00:01:35,110 --> 00:01:37,960
It’s the perfect match for
the Legacy Railgun skin

30
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:41,300
that you worked so hard to
get in the February Challenge.

31
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:45,270
The other prizes are more or less similar
to what we’ve seen in previous Challenges

32
00:01:45,270 --> 00:01:50,560
lots of paints, shot effects, supplies,
crystals, and of course, containers.

33
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,100
Since the Challenge has
been pushed back by one day,

34
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:55,580
the Gender War will also
be starting a day later.

35
00:01:55,580 --> 00:01:57,100
This means you have
a few more hours

36
00:01:57,100 --> 00:02:01,240
to choose your faction by purchasing
the Lady OR Gentleman Garage paint.

37
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,700
Once the event kicks off, it’s
time to start earning Stars!

38
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:08,360
You can track each faction’s score
on the special Gender War website.

39
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,830
The link is in the description.

40
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:13,780
For players participating in the War,
the site serves two purposes.

41
00:02:13,780 --> 00:02:17,160
First, to monitor the scores
of both factions in the War.

42
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,780
This data will become available
a few days after the War starts.

43
00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:23,500
Second, participants must
log into the site

44
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:26,860
and select which of the nine animated
paints they would like to receive

45
00:02:26,860 --> 00:02:29,120
IF they qualify for the prize.

46
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,960
ALL participants must do this.

47
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,540
But remember, only players
in the winning faction,

48
00:02:33,540 --> 00:02:37,920
whose score is equal to —or above— their
faction’s score, will receive the prize.

49
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:40,740
So, get ready for a good,
old-fashioned War!

50
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,460
Today also brought with it some
additional balance changes.

51
00:02:46,460 --> 00:02:47,580
Let’s have a look!

52
00:02:47,580 --> 00:02:49,140
First, Firebird.

53
00:02:49,140 --> 00:02:51,940
On low ranks, this
turret is too imbalanced,

54
00:02:51,950 --> 00:02:54,190
so we’ve reduced the
maximum heating temperature

55
00:02:54,190 --> 00:02:56,480
and we continue to monitor its performance.

56
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,720
Next, Isida.

57
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,560
We’ve been watching this turret
very carefully since the recent major changes.

58
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,020
And our observations show

59
00:03:03,020 --> 00:03:06,080
that we’ve gone a bit too far
with the game scores parameter.

60
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,180
So we’ve fixed it.

61
00:03:07,180 --> 00:03:10,240
Next we have many, many
changes in Alterations.

62
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,960
Let's have a quick run-through:

63
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,800
Thunder’s “Subcaliber rounds” now
gives plus 20% impact force.

64
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,540
Firebird’s “compact fuel tanks” alteration
no longer heats as quickly as before,

65
00:03:21,540 --> 00:03:24,380
but still twice as fast
as the standard turret.

66
00:03:24,380 --> 00:03:26,780
Firebird’s “Incendiary mix” alteration

67
00:03:26,780 --> 00:03:29,380
now consumes even 
less energy than before.

68
00:03:29,380 --> 00:03:32,380
This means that when the turret
has this alteration equipped,

69
00:03:32,380 --> 00:03:34,680
it deals more damage per gauge.

70
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,860
“Corrosive mix” for Freeze has lost
a little bit of its bonus damage.

71
00:03:38,860 --> 00:03:40,140
Dragon's Breath for Hammer

72
00:03:40,140 --> 00:03:44,120
loses a bit of the impact heat
that its pellets inflict on enemies.

73
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:49,920
Ricochet’s Berserk now eats up less energy,
so you get more shots with a full gauge.

74
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,840
Shots from Ricochet’s Plasma-torch
are now slightly faster.

75
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,780
Favored by many Striker players,

76
00:03:55,780 --> 00:03:59,460
the Uranium Missile Launcher now
takes a little longer to recharge.

77
00:03:59,460 --> 00:04:02,320
And to conclude, 2 Railgun alterations

78
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,680
Round Destabilization gets its
maximum damage decreased.

79
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,440
And “Death Herald” now fires
as frequently as the standard turret,

80
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,120
but will have to get used to
the increased charging time.

81
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,140
The Clans version of the
Masters of the Sword tournament

82
00:04:17,149 --> 00:04:20,849
is close to the finish line and
we’re now in the playoffs.

83
00:04:20,850 --> 00:04:26,280
The dominating clans are
Vavilon, Duplo XP, Silvers, and Peppers.

84
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:28,780
Next week, we’ll have the decisive matches,

85
00:04:28,780 --> 00:04:31,940
which will determine which two clans
will enter the Grand Final

86
00:04:31,940 --> 00:04:36,080
and compete for the main prize of the
tournament — the unique paint, Impulse.

87
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,720
Expect some highly tactical
and brutally savage combat!

88
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,500
Watch the livestreams and
support your favorites!

89
00:04:43,020 --> 00:04:45,900
For novice teams,
the Blitz tournaments continue!

90
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:49,030
Right now, you can register a
clan for the next tournament,

91
00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:51,190
which will be held in the Light format.

92
00:04:51,190 --> 00:04:55,440
Prepare your Railguns and Smokies,
gather your friends and go for the win!

93
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,460
The link is in the V-LOGs description.

94
00:04:59,860 --> 00:05:01,420
Video of the week.

95
00:05:01,420 --> 00:05:05,360
Last time we asked you to show us how
you caught the Iron days gold box.

96
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,960
Here’s our favorite entry.

97
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,840
Check it out!

98
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,780
The theme for next episode is
still gold related, but with a twist.

99
00:05:42,780 --> 00:05:44,980
You know how it is when a Gold Box drops.

100
00:05:44,980 --> 00:05:49,080
Everybody shouts “PEACE”...
and then it’s a massive pile-up.

101
00:05:49,090 --> 00:05:51,050
This time, you won’t be in there.

102
00:05:51,050 --> 00:05:53,540
Instead, you’ll be ruining
the fun for everyone,

103
00:05:53,540 --> 00:05:56,420
and shooting a video of
it for our entertainment.

104
00:05:56,420 --> 00:05:59,500
Take your best turret, find
a gold box drop zone,

105
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:02,080
and make a mess of
all those gold hunters.

106
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,810
The funniest video wins the standard
prize of 50 thousand crystals

107
00:06:05,810 --> 00:06:08,240
PLUS an additional 5 containers.

108
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,340
Make sure you wear the WHITE paint…
you know… because peace…

109
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,000
That's all for today, folks!

110
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,760
Remember, the War starts
in just a few hours,

111
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,200
and you need to purchase the Lady
OR Gentleman paint from your Garage

112
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,610
if you wanna participate.

113
00:06:23,610 --> 00:06:27,020
Deadline to get the paint
is 02:00 UTC tomorrow,

114
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,680
Saturday, March 2nd.

115
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,020
Don’t miss it!

116
00:06:30,020 --> 00:06:31,660
Next week, no VLOG.

117
00:06:31,660 --> 00:06:32,260
BUT...

118
00:06:32,260 --> 00:06:33,660
March 8 is a holiday.

119
00:06:33,660 --> 00:06:34,920
What should you expect?

120
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,080
Guess for yourself!

121
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:36,880
See ya!

122
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:47,100
A week ago, we hid a mine underneath
one of the boxes in the Duel map.

123
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:49,560
You had to guess where
the mine was hidden.

124
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,900
The correct answer is... underneath
the Speed up box — Option A.

125
00:06:53,900 --> 00:00:00,000
Here are our winners.
And here’s the new question![]
