1
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,310
In today’s episode, we will be discussing
the mechanics of damage.

2
00:00:06,310 --> 00:00:09,957
We’ll also be diving into the process of
creating new skins

3
00:00:09,957 --> 00:00:14,130
and recapping the previous season in eSports.

4
00:00:14,130 --> 00:00:16,410
Hello tankers!

5
00:00:16,410 --> 00:00:18,893
Vacation has come and gone and now,

6
00:00:18,893 --> 00:00:22,420
the brain and body are gradually getting used to the rhythm of work.

7
00:00:22,420 --> 00:00:26,218
Nothing is as invigorating as the news we’ve
compiled over the past weeks,

8
00:00:26,218 --> 00:00:27,950
which we will share with you.

9
00:00:27,950 --> 00:00:31,410
Grab some tea and goodies, sit down in front
of the screen, and let's go.

10
00:00:33,469 --> 00:00:36,210
(Hazel speaking)
So, the updated critical damage has been released.

11
00:00:36,210 --> 00:00:39,440
The turret that everyone has heard of now
is Railgun.

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,432
With the release of the critical damage mechanics,

13
00:00:41,432 --> 00:00:44,700
this turret and its augments underwent quite a few changes.

14
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:46,125
As you may already know,

15
00:00:46,125 --> 00:00:50,329
Railgun was the turret
that was most noticeably weakened by protection modules against it.

16
00:00:50,329 --> 00:00:53,476
Due to the fact that critical damage has its
own type of damage

17
00:00:53,476 --> 00:00:58,250
and requires a separate protection module, the turret was able to
breathe more freely in the game.

18
00:00:58,250 --> 00:00:59,969
Perhaps even too freely.

19
00:00:59,969 --> 00:01:03,227
Some augments turned out to be incredibly
strong, while others,

20
00:01:03,227 --> 00:01:05,909
usually those that apply status effects, became too weak.

21
00:01:05,909 --> 00:01:09,159
The first changes to the balance of Railgun
have just been released today.

22
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:12,272
They are designed to integrate the turret
into the balance of the game

23
00:01:12,272 --> 00:01:13,600
with the critical damage mechanics.

24
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,319
Keep leaving your feedback on Railgun and
balance in-game;

25
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,401
we will make sure to check it out before future balance changes.

26
00:01:18,401 --> 00:01:21,585
Additionally, we have worked on the battle
damage display.

27
00:01:21,585 --> 00:01:23,716
We noticed that when killing enemies,

28
00:01:23,716 --> 00:01:27,335
not all players understood whether it was a critical damage or normal damage kill.

29
00:01:27,335 --> 00:01:31,254
Now, when you kill an enemy, you will see
red indicators for critical damage

30
00:01:31,254 --> 00:01:33,509
and orange for non-critical damage.

31
00:01:33,509 --> 00:01:37,072
We also slightly changed the display time
and size of the damage numbers

32
00:01:37,158 --> 00:01:40,787
We hope that this update will make critical
damage even more interesting

33
00:01:40,787 --> 00:01:43,929
and make it easier to understand what is happening in battle.

34
00:01:44,892 --> 00:01:48,999
One of the most beloved Tanki events is rightly
considered to be Easter.

35
00:01:48,999 --> 00:01:52,289
There's a fun tradition on Easter - hiding
and searching for eggs.

36
00:01:52,289 --> 00:01:54,250
We’re bringing the tradition to Tanki

37
00:01:54,250 --> 00:01:57,361
and launching a contest to find eggs in the Tanki universe:

38
00:01:57,361 --> 00:02:00,680
the game website, the Forum, and the Wiki.

39
00:02:00,739 --> 00:02:05,240
Your task is to find as many eggs as possible
and earn pleasant prizes for it!

40
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,598
You'll get 1000 crystals for every egg you find.

41
00:02:08,598 --> 00:02:10,734
Before you set off in search of Easter eggs,

42
00:02:10,735 --> 00:02:15,870
you will need to log in to a special site using your login and password from your in-game account.

43
00:02:15,870 --> 00:02:17,980
There, you will receive a personal code.

44
00:02:17,980 --> 00:02:20,846
You’ll need to enter this code every time
you find an egg;

45
00:02:20,846 --> 00:02:23,439
otherwise, your find will not be counted.

46
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:27,290
The contest will last 3 days, from April 2
to April 5.

47
00:02:27,290 --> 00:02:31,129
We will post 12 eggs every day at 9:00 UTC.

48
00:02:31,129 --> 00:02:35,319
In just three days, you will have to find
36 "presents".

49
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:37,476
And for players who want the easy way out,

50
00:02:37,476 --> 00:02:42,160
finding an egg in one location in different locales will only count once!

51
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,840
Good luck and happy searching!

52
00:02:45,663 --> 00:02:46,793
As promised,

53
00:02:46,793 --> 00:02:50,980
today, we'll be visiting the art department and asking its manager some
questions.

54
00:02:50,980 --> 00:02:52,340
М: Hi Pavel.

55
00:02:52,340 --> 00:02:53,340
P: Hello.

56
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:55,830
М: Tell us, who designs the tanks.

57
00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:59,480
P: We don't have one person in particular
who makes tanks.

58
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,799
Each tank and its design is, in one way or
another, created by the whole team.

59
00:03:03,799 --> 00:03:06,469
М: Well, and how many people are in this
team?

60
00:03:06,469 --> 00:03:07,749
P: Hard to tell.

61
00:03:07,749 --> 00:03:09,810
We are working in a pretty small team.

62
00:03:09,810 --> 00:03:15,230
On the one hand, we have key employees, who
are professionals in design and make key decisions.

63
00:03:15,230 --> 00:03:18,690
Meanwhile, the technical part is mostly outsourced.

64
00:03:18,690 --> 00:03:22,020
Because of this, there is no definite answer
on how many employees we have.

65
00:03:22,020 --> 00:03:25,081
М: We’ve seen this question pop up in comments quite often:

66
00:03:25,081 --> 00:03:27,790
Why does it take so long to make
a new skin?

67
00:03:27,790 --> 00:03:29,900
P: Because we want to make sure we do our
best.

68
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:36,170
If we work on a skin and it is not 100% done,
but is still released, we do not like it.

69
00:03:36,170 --> 00:03:40,219
The worst part is that we cannot return to
working on this skin anymore.

70
00:03:40,219 --> 00:03:42,508
We prefer to take our time to perfect the
skins

71
00:03:42,508 --> 00:03:45,310
so we can be content with our final product.

72
00:03:45,310 --> 00:03:48,760
М: Tell us, what are the main challenges

73
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,859
you face in developing turrets and hulls?

74
00:03:51,859 --> 00:03:54,730
P: There are two main problems.

75
00:03:54,730 --> 00:03:57,129
The first, of course, is the design itself.

76
00:03:57,129 --> 00:04:00,040
The second area is the proportions.

77
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,134
We had relatively few polygons in the original
designs,

78
00:04:03,134 --> 00:04:06,060
and most of the details that are on the tank were drawn.

79
00:04:06,060 --> 00:04:11,709
Now, we need to do it all in 3D and ensure
that it doesn’t affect gameplay in any way.

80
00:04:11,709 --> 00:04:14,358
Gameplay-wise, the tanks should remain the
same,

81
00:04:14,358 --> 00:04:21,290
so it's a challenge to fit all of the large details, armor sheets, etc. into this
limited number of polygons.

82
00:04:21,290 --> 00:04:24,120
Additionally, we can't scale this in any way.

83
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,704
We can't hand this over to some other external
modellers,

84
00:04:26,704 --> 00:04:31,897
contractors because outside artists often are not familiar with the style of Tanki Online

85
00:04:31,897 --> 00:04:34,680
as they don’t know the history of the project.

86
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,000
Because of this, they often work in the wrong
direction.

87
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,710
М: Another common question from the players:

88
00:04:41,710 --> 00:04:45,720
Will models from Tanki X make an appearance
in Tanki Online?

89
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,449
P: I've answered this question several times
in V-LOGs already but not very clearly.

90
00:04:50,449 --> 00:04:53,810
"Maybe someday”, “it's not that easy”
and so on.

91
00:04:53,810 --> 00:04:58,610
But now, I can say with certainty that work
in this direction is already underway.

92
00:04:58,610 --> 00:05:00,229
Stay tuned.

93
00:05:00,229 --> 00:05:04,690
М: Well, we have some plans for redesigned tanks.

94
00:05:04,690 --> 00:05:05,710
What about the maps?

95
00:05:05,710 --> 00:05:06,710
Will you redraw the graphics?

96
00:05:06,710 --> 00:05:07,710
P: The main....

97
00:05:20,210 --> 00:05:25,034
The first season of TankiSport 2021 tournaments
ended two weeks ago

98
00:05:25,034 --> 00:05:28,919
and concluded with a huge surprise for viewers of the Grand Final....

99
00:05:28,919 --> 00:05:29,970
Penguins - lost.

100
00:05:33,650 --> 00:05:35,435
A man in the movie: First time?

101
00:05:39,671 --> 00:05:44,860
4 of the strongest clans met on the battlefield
to determine the winner, who earned the glory,

102
00:05:44,860 --> 00:05:49,821
millions of crystals, thousands of tankoins,
as well as the hearts and stars of the fans.

103
00:05:50,253 --> 00:05:54,229
After losing their first match, Revenge fell
to the bottom of the grid.

104
00:05:54,229 --> 00:05:59,100
Unfortunately for their opponents, that was
their only setback on their way to the finals.

105
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:02,113
After defeating the wild card of the tournament,
Feechki,

106
00:06:02,113 --> 00:06:07,020
they found themselves in the final of the lower grid, where they rematched against
Team Pointers

107
00:06:07,298 --> 00:06:11,970
Following Revenge’s first defeat at the
hands of Team Pointers during the semi-finals,

108
00:06:11,970 --> 00:06:14,712
fans had already made up their minds on this
rematch -

109
00:06:14,712 --> 00:06:19,470
only 16 percent of the players voted for Revenge on the special tournament website.

110
00:06:19,470 --> 00:06:23,302
However, this did not affect the mood of the
team and in a close game,

111
00:06:23,302 --> 00:06:28,107
Revenge pulled ahead to unseat Team Pointers and went to the grand final,

112
00:06:28,107 --> 00:06:33,190
where they were to meet against the undisputed favorite of the tournament - Penguins.

113
00:06:33,190 --> 00:06:35,533
The fans thought Revenge’s run was over;

114
00:06:35,533 --> 00:06:39,780
the voting of that day showed just 7% of the vote in their favor.

115
00:06:39,780 --> 00:06:42,721
Most everyone in the community was prepared
for a short match

116
00:06:42,721 --> 00:06:48,349
and a landslide win in favor of the veteran team Penguins, who had not previously lost a match.

117
00:06:48,349 --> 00:06:51,917
In the first two rounds, the predictions looked
to be correct,

118
00:06:51,917 --> 00:06:56,539
but after round 4, Revenge managed to tie the score and turned up the
heat.

119
00:06:56,539 --> 00:07:01,200
The close game went on for the remainder of
the match, and after all 10 rounds,

120
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:07,729
Revenge prevailed 4-3 to win the first season of the
TankiSport 2021 tournament.

121
00:07:07,729 --> 00:07:10,780
Want to earn glory and reach new heights just
like Revenge?

122
00:07:10,780 --> 00:07:14,500
Season 2 is coming soon,
so assemble your dream team

123
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:19,110
and get ready for some quick and easy qualification tournaments
open to all.

124
00:07:19,110 --> 00:07:22,439
Practice, play well, and maybe during the
next tournament,

125
00:07:22,439 --> 00:07:26,324
you’ll meet the players in your team's paint!

126
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,637

Bye!

141
00:08:51,770 --> 00:08:55,837
Last time, you had to guess how many crystals
the following tankers would receive

142
00:08:55,837 --> 00:08:57,260
from their rankups.

143
00:08:57,260 --> 00:09:02,600
And the correct answer is B.
Congratulations to the winners!

144
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,670
And here is the next question.

145
00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:19,532
Which paint is not a parkour one?[]
