1
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,880
In today’s episode, we’ll be telling 
you about the Black Friday plans.

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,320
We’ll also be showing you the changes 
we’ve made to the new interface,

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,240
as well as answering your questions.

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,160
Hello Tankers!

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,120
The time has come for the 
biggest discounts of the year.

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,080
Don’t miss the Black Friday sales in Tanki Online!

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,800
Today, an arctic discount cyclone 
sweeps over the shop items,

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,880
capturing challenge stars, 
Containers, gold boxes, and much more,

9
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,560
sweeping away half of their cost.

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,440
This cyclone also brings a moderately 
warm breeze into the Garage area,

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,280
and a rare westerly wind,

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,480
combined with thunderstorms 
and lightning are expected.

13
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:45,600
Such wind occurs where atmospheric pressure rises,

14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,520
which inevitably reaches 
70% on Hazel's care scale.

15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,160
Micro upgrades and speed ups promise to 
match the weather and be lightning fast!

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,000
We will also see pouring tropical 
rain in the Shop from special offers.

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:04,720
Let me remind you: in the last episode of the 
V-LOG, we dwelt in detail on Ultra Containers.

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,000
This time we can tell what was 
hiding under the question marks.

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,960
On Black Friday, you can find in Ultra 
Containers ALL Ultra and XT skins,

20
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:15,760
and even the Steampunk 
skins for Mammoth and Twins,

21
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,120
along with the Crisis drone.

22
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,200
If you have been saving up crystals 
and Tankoins for the whole year,

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,120
now is the time to spend them wisely!

24
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,440
Remember when we announced 
new audio in the interface?

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,560
As of this week, you can already hear it.

26
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,600
In the lobby and garage we have ambient sounds,

27
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:39,840
and in the shop there is pleasant music 
for a quiet walk around the counters.

28
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,360
Let us know in the comments how your 
ears feel in the new atmosphere.

29
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,040
Those who are closely following 
the updates on the test servers  

30
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,440
know that we are preparing the next HD skin

31
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,080
and that it will be an HD 
skin for the Twins turret.

32
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,180
Write in the comments the hashtag 
#WaitingForTwinsHD

33
00:02:10,180 --> 00:02:13,120
and in the next release, it will appear in the game.

34
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,800
There is not much longer to wait!

35
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,480
Hello, everyone!

36
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,520
Long time no see!

37
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,560
It's time for the rare but very 
interesting section of the V-LOG.

38
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,320
Hazel will be showing you the new 
interface which will be released one day.

39
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,360
Some of you might have already 
seen it on the test server.

40
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,960
There is one important thing to mention.

41
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,120
What you saw on the test server 
is just 20% of the final result.

42
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,640
Yes, fonts and colors may 
have already been changed,

43
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:42,480
but in fact there are still more 
adjustments on the new interface to be made.

44
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,800
For example, here we can see the Containers 
screen which looks much better now.

45
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,840
You can see that not all the Containers 
you may have are listed here.

46
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:53,680
Don't worry, if you select 
one of the container types,

47
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,040
another page opens with all the Containers in 
this category that you might have in your Garage.

48
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,840
This is also where you can open your containers.

49
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,320
Anyway, let's move on to the 
new, interesting features.

50
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,200
Actually, they are not that new.

51
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,400
Hey, battle screen!

52
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,600
Haven't seen you in a while.

53
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,440
We have carefully read all your 
feedback about the new interface,

54
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,600
what you do or don’t like about it,

55
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,520
so we have decided to change it.

56
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,760
I will tell you about the elements of this 
screen starting from the top and going clockwise.

57
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,640
We’ve cleaned up game mode indicators,

58
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,760
simplifying them to make them less distracting.

59
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,960
You can now read them more quickly.

60
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,440
To the right of them, you can see some emoticons.

61
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,600
They will appear above tanks as you 
can see in the center of the screen.

62
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:43,920
The idea is to make in-battle communication easier 
so you can talk to others without using the chat.

63
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,760
We came to realize that complicated commands 
like "Let's attack on the left side",

64
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,920
or "Attack on the right side" or "Defend me!"

65
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,800
shouldn't be added as you likely 
won't be using them a lot.

66
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,120
Seriously guys we see what you say in the chat,

67
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,960
and such commands are not what you want.

68
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,120
Rather, you want to show your emotions.

69
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,720
We think that these icons are enough 
to show how you feel in battles.

70
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,480
Let's move on to the lower right corner.

71
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,360
This again is about game mode indicators.

72
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,160
This letter "A" and this arrow show where 
you should bring a ball or a flag to.

73
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,320
I would like to draw your 
attention to them once again.

74
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:20,959
They will always be here showing where you 
should rotate your camera to see your goal.

75
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,040
And now onto the most interesting 
part, the bottom of the screen.

76
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,520
On the right side, we can see all the supplies.

77
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,200
They are like your "abilities".

78
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,040
Nothing was changed here except the 
new icons which you can already see.

79
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,200
Yes, it looks very similar to Tanki X,

80
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,080
but we won't do anything about that.

81
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,440
Let's move onto the middle,

82
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,840
we can see the most important button.

83
00:04:42,233 --> 00:04:44,160
It is the overdrive indicator.

84
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,680
Below it, you can see the number of 
Nuclear Energy supplies you have.

85
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,520
We removed the special indicator for it.

86
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,840
The yellow bar above the indicator is not for 
your overdrive charge. It is your turret's charge.

87
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:02,747
We moved it away from above the tank, from the center of the screen, as you didn't quite all the other options.

88
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,600
In the end, we moved it to 
the lowest zone of the screen

89
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,560
and you can now see how much of 
your turret's energy is remaining

90
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,880
but not how your turret is reloading.

91
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,560
We are still working on it.

92
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,760
For example, we have an idea for changing the 
colours of the highlights around opponents' tanks

93
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,760
depending on how charged your turret is.

94
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,720
On the left side we have a new element.

95
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,200
I guess the biggest one.

96
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,560
Let's take a closer look at it.

97
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:30,960
Firstly, this big blue bar which shows 
the current Health Points of your tank.

98
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,720
In Tanki X, the health bar was very small.

99
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,600
In our new interface, it's big and easy to read.

100
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,720
Above this bar we have all the temporary statuses 
of your tank — supplies and status effects,

101
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,400
as well as their durations.

102
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,000
And under this bar we have 
permanent statuses of your tank.

103
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,200
In other words, these huge icons show the 
augments equipped on your hull and turret.

104
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,440
Ignore that there are currently two augments 
for different turrets; it’s just a prototype.

105
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,000
On the left you see the augment equipped on your 
turret and on the right the augment on your hull.

106
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,480
Next to them you can see three small icons; 
these show the protection modules equipped.

107
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,088
Now you will always see which modules you have equipped 

108
00:06:10,088 --> 00:06:12,560
without needing to open 
the scoreboard to find it out.

109
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,066
We think that these icons 
won't distract you 

110
00:06:15,066 --> 00:06:18,560
because they are small and are placed in 
the far corner of the interface,

111
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,200
somewhere that you will not 
be looking at while playing.

112
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,520
On the left side, you can also see the radar.

113
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,400
We didn't remove it, only changed its position;

114
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,800
but we added some new functionality to it.

115
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,440
You can see some new lines 
on the edges of the radar.

116
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,640
We would like to increase its 
abilities by making it show you  

117
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,320
not only the opponents that are near 
you but also those who are far away.

118
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,720
You will see icons for opponents who 
are within a 60 metre radius around you,

119
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,640
and for those who are further from you,

120
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,040
there will be lines on the edges of the radar.

121
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,480
We think that this might be useful.

122
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:50,960
That's all for today.

123
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,960
That's how the new interface will look.

124
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:53,840
Thanks for watching!

125
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:56,000
Ah, come on!

126
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,040
I’m just kidding.

127
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,240
Look at what we have here.

128
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,400
We really do read your feedback,

129
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,800
and it is very important to us.

130
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,760
We will have two versions of 
the new interface released.

131
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,400
This second version of the new interface is very 
similar to the current one which you are used to.

132
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,560
Overdrive and radar are in their 
respective places; so are the supplies,

133
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,840
health bar and ammo bar.

134
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,800
If you prefer it this way,

135
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,040
we will give you an option to have it this way.

136
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,560
Let's check the rest of the elements.

137
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,100
Thissss...

138
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,360
Sorry, but I think it will 
have to wait for next time.

139
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,960
The last thing is the 
scoreboard, no new changes here.

140
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,680
We have all the usual elements here.

141
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,000
Well the only change is that we decided to 
darken the whole screen when you open it  

142
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,080
so you can quickly focus on the information you 
are looking at and then return to the battle.

143
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,000
Ok, one more thing - the login screen.

144
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,634
The most important and coolest 
new element here

145
00:07:49,634 --> 00:07:53,360
is this button in the upper-right corner that 
will disable background music.

146
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,640
Yeah, we moved our main soundtrack to this 
screen so it will be less distracting for you,

147
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,440
and in the Garage we will 
have the new ambient sounds.

148
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:02,880
I hope you like it.

149
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,080
Thanks for watching!

150
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,262
In the next episode we will tell you 
about PRO battle changes

151
00:08:07,262 --> 00:08:11,432
and what will happen to the ideas we mentioned 
in previous episodes of the V-LOG.

152
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,000
We have a batch of questions to answer,

153
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:16,960
so let’s hurry up!

154
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,440
Why is the new map, Chernushka, not HD?

155
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,040
We created the Chernushka map a long time ago,

156
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,323
but due to Flash platform restrictions 
we were not able to release this map

157
00:08:29,323 --> 00:08:32,159
as performance values on this map were way too low.

158
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:34,779
And now we have dozens of old maps to be remastered.

159
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:43,609
Will you make sure that the HD turrets all have some unique animation or moving parts when firing like it was done with Smoky?

160
00:08:43,902 --> 00:08:51,155
The latest HD turret (Firebird) did not have any special animations and the flame it shoots out is still in 2D.

161
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,755
We are not trying to cram as many animations as possible into the turrets.

162
00:08:55,755 --> 00:08:58,129
Our goal is to make the turret look organic.

163
00:08:58,129 --> 00:09:03,123
For example, for Thunder, the animations of the shell and barrel will not be superfluous.

164
00:09:03,123 --> 00:09:05,690
Meanwhile for Firebird, it doesn't look right.

165
00:09:05,690 --> 00:09:09,280
As for the special effects,
we will work on them separately soon.

166
00:09:10,116 --> 00:09:15,414
Do you have plans to add new higher quality sky boxes to fit the new HD maps?

167
00:09:16,736 --> 00:09:21,122
The remaster of the Sandbox map is already using a new skybox!

168
00:09:21,317 --> 00:09:27,424
Will you add the Tic-tac-toe mini-game that is available in the mobile version to the PC version of the game?

169
00:09:27,424 --> 00:09:32,114
It’s a good way to spend your time while waiting for a match without leaving the game window.

170
00:09:32,114 --> 00:09:37,907
We are tired of moving our tanks in the Garage and would like another way to spend the time.

171
00:09:38,666 --> 00:09:40,514
According to the data we have,

172
00:09:40,514 --> 00:09:45,607
the average battle waiting time is not long enough to spend our resources on adding this mini-game.

173
00:09:45,607 --> 00:09:50,960
However, map loading takes more time and we will try 
to find something for you to do as you wait.

174
00:09:52,636 --> 00:09:54,922
Why has my GS (Gear Score) changed?

175
00:09:54,922 --> 00:09:58,077
I didn’t do anything, I didn’t change turrets!

176
00:09:58,077 --> 00:10:02,677
In a recent update, we changed the way GS (Gear Score) is calculated.

177
00:10:02,677 --> 00:10:06,100
Previously, most of the points were from the Turret and Hull.

178
00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:09,465
Now, these points are divided between the Turret, Hull and the Drone.

179
00:10:09,465 --> 00:10:17,719
Why? In one of the updates this year, Drones gained the ability to boost the power of your supplies, and this update reflects that.

180
00:10:17,719 --> 00:10:24,430
If your GS has dropped significantly, it means that you still haven't upgraded your drone and could easily lose in battles.

181
00:10:24,430 --> 00:10:28,679
We recommend that you urgently upgrade any drone during discounts.

182
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,920
Do you plan to settle in and make 
permanent mechanics for a turret?

183
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,640
So do you plan to reach the perfect balance,

184
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,600
and stop changing parameters of tanks?

185
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,680
Or will you never settle down and 
give a turret a permanent statistics?

186
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,440
Once in the history of Tanki Online we 
sat down to develop the Final Rebalance,

187
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,880
which would make everything right.

188
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,600
It was the worst version of balance in the game.

189
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,800
Balance parameters will be constantly 
adjusted to maintain a healthy meta.

190
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,040
The addition of new content continues,

191
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,040
the old meta is improved, and new mechanics appear;

192
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,003
otherwise players would get bored playing the same stuff every year.

193
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,920
Last time, you had to guess

194
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,880
how many seconds it would take to destroy 
the Isida with 95% protection against Vulcan.

195
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,000
The correct answer is: C, 16 seconds.

196
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,280
Congratulations to the winners!

197
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,136
And here is the next question:

198
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,424
Who will be destroyed first?

199
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,840
That's all the news for the week.

200
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,680
See you at the same place next time.

201
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:49,680
