00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,315
Intro

2
00:00:08,315 --> 00:00:09,644
Hello, tankers!

3
00:00:09,644 --> 00:00:14,432
It’s time to announce the winners of our
333 tankoins giveaway.

4
00:00:29,642 --> 00:00:31,765
Congratulations!

5
00:00:31,765 --> 00:00:34,489
Don’t know what to spend these tankoins
on?

6
00:00:34,489 --> 00:00:37,240
We love to please you with a variety of events,

7
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,560
and throughout the year we are preparing a
lot of activities to fill up the calendar.

8
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:46,370
Today we have an event dedicated to the Irish
holiday “St.Patrick's Day.”

9
00:00:46,370 --> 00:00:47,680
What is there to expect?

10
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,570
I'll tell you right now!

11
00:00:49,570 --> 00:00:54,220
St.Patrick’s Day

12
00:00:54,220 --> 00:00:56,980
Let's start with something good — discounts!

13
00:00:56,980 --> 00:01:02,059
First one waiting for you is 30% off for items
in the Shop lasting until tomorrow.

14
00:01:02,059 --> 00:01:05,680
Next will be 30% off equipment in the Garage
all Saturday.

15
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:11,679
And finally on Sunday, enjoy 30% off micro-upgrades
and half price for speed-ups.

16
00:01:11,679 --> 00:01:13,940
For the entire duration of the celebration,

17
00:01:13,940 --> 00:01:17,070
Coinboxes and Ultra Containers will be available.

18
00:01:17,070 --> 00:01:21,890
In the latter, an augment for Firebird, “Magnetic
mix,” has been added.

19
00:01:21,890 --> 00:01:26,610
With its help, a critical hit on the enemy
will send his supplies to cooldown.

20
00:01:26,610 --> 00:01:31,150
Themed special offers will delight you with
savings of up to 75%.

21
00:01:31,150 --> 00:01:33,910
Tankoins, Nuclear energy supplies,

22
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:37,610
Ultra Containers and even a Skin Container
are in store.

23
00:01:37,610 --> 00:01:40,750
The list of special missions has also been
updated.

24
00:01:40,750 --> 00:01:44,909
Complete them and be rewarded with Challenge
Stars and Ultra Containers.

25
00:01:44,909 --> 00:01:46,920
The unique missions unlocked with Premium

26
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,020
as well as the Battle Pass have also been
refreshed.

27
00:01:50,020 --> 00:01:51,259
But that's not all!

28
00:01:51,259 --> 00:01:56,750
On March 20th, for only 1 day, or rather from
9 AM UTC until midnight,

29
00:01:56,750 --> 00:02:00,250
a special mission will appear for which you
need to destroy a tank

30
00:02:00,250 --> 00:02:02,659
with the special “Lucky coin” paint equipped.

31
00:02:02,659 --> 00:02:06,350
For this mission, you will receive as many
as 7 Ultra Containers.

32
00:02:06,350 --> 00:02:12,880
Click the button in the lobby to enter the
Solo Juggernaut "Dragon's Gold" game mode,

33
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,510
with an increased gold box rate.

34
00:02:16,510 --> 00:02:19,530
This special mode will be available on the
following maps:

35
00:02:19,530 --> 00:02:22,360
Massacre, Brest, and Chernobyl.

36
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,180
As for the second weekend, you will also be
hunting down the Juggernaut,

37
00:02:26,180 --> 00:02:29,150
but this time, without gold boxes.

38
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:31,379
And finally, funds.

39
00:02:31,379 --> 00:02:36,459
Don't forget that on event weekends we have
boosted battle funds and experience!

40
00:02:36,459 --> 00:02:39,159
Let's move on to the next topic of the V-LOG.

41
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:43,000
Equipment change. Part 2

42
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,050
The story of the equipment change mechanics
continues.

43
00:02:48,050 --> 00:02:52,040
Watch the first part by going to this timecode
of the previous release.

44
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,190
There is a link in the description.

45
00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:58,630
*April 2015, 6 years after the game launch*

46
00:02:58,630 --> 00:03:02,500
In update 347, we tried allowing players to
change their equipment

47
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:06,569
as often as possible by reducing the cooldown
to 1 minute.

48
00:03:06,569 --> 00:03:09,690
The idea was to let players who have everything
in the garage

49
00:03:09,690 --> 00:03:11,580
get the most out of this feature.

50
00:03:11,580 --> 00:03:15,870
Obviously, this change should have brought
more noticeable benefits to the project.

51
00:03:15,870 --> 00:03:18,350
Maybe we just chose the wrong settings.

52
00:03:18,350 --> 00:03:22,490
Players didn't like the idea that the minimum
cooldown will give the maximum benefit.

53
00:03:22,490 --> 00:03:27,680
Hazel: However, the cooldown was restored
to the previous length a week after the update.

54
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,040
Instead of playing in battles,

55
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,620
players were spending most of their time in
the Garage.

56
00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:33,069
Instead of tactics on the battlefield,

57
00:03:33,069 --> 00:03:35,590
we got tactics in the garage.

58
00:03:35,590 --> 00:03:38,069
Once a minute, players were playing “poker”
with opponents,

59
00:03:38,069 --> 00:03:41,060
trying to predict what they would equip.

60
00:03:41,060 --> 00:03:45,443
Cons of the equipment change feature

61
00:03:45,443 --> 00:03:48,379
The negative effects of the equipment change
feature increased.

62
00:03:48,379 --> 00:03:50,610
Players didn’t like to play in “equipment
change” games

63
00:03:50,610 --> 00:03:53,950
with teams of similar level as it was too
intense.

64
00:03:53,950 --> 00:03:57,099
It was more fun to change equipment when your
opponent is weaker,

65
00:03:57,099 --> 00:03:58,880
when they don’t have certain equipment,

66
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,510
or when the number of players in the opposite
team is less than in your team.

67
00:04:03,510 --> 00:04:08,050
The equipment change feature turned into a
weapon utilized by groups against individuals.

68
00:04:08,050 --> 00:04:09,090
If you played with your friends,

69
00:04:09,090 --> 00:04:10,879
you could easily find the most dangerous enemy

70
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:13,980
and change equipment as a group to fight against
them.

71
00:04:13,980 --> 00:04:17,310
For a solo opponent, such actions would take
much more time.

72
00:04:17,310 --> 00:04:21,849
The strength of such mechanics allowed players
to destroy a more dangerous single enemy,

73
00:04:21,849 --> 00:04:23,840
even if your team had weaker equipment.

74
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:27,320
We had to shelve the plans to take
advantage of this feature,

75
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,510
and as a compromise we introduced a long equipment
change cooldown.

76
00:04:31,510 --> 00:04:35,580
This feature was also causing problems for
development of the game.

77
00:04:35,580 --> 00:04:37,990
Equipment changes were negatively affecting
servers,

78
00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:41,550
and players didn’t like how slowly the garage
was loading.

79
00:04:41,550 --> 00:04:43,770
And the more items a player had in the garage,

80
00:04:43,770 --> 00:04:45,740
the longer it took for the garage to load.

81
00:04:45,740 --> 00:04:48,370
A lot of time was needed to fix this.

82
00:04:48,370 --> 00:04:50,229
If we had decided to focus on it,

83
00:04:50,229 --> 00:04:54,180
the game would have been waiting for other
updates and fixes for months.

84
00:04:54,180 --> 00:04:57,580
Over time, the game has been receiving content
updates.

85
00:04:57,580 --> 00:05:01,490
We got new turrets, hulls, and drones and
especially augments.

86
00:05:01,490 --> 00:05:03,659
In addition to the protection module system,

87
00:05:03,659 --> 00:05:07,220
we added a system of status effect augments
and immunities.

88
00:05:07,220 --> 00:05:10,380
The number of equipment combinations has grown
many times over.

89
00:05:10,380 --> 00:05:14,490
The mechanics of changing equipment began
to require more and more attention

90
00:05:14,490 --> 00:05:16,890
to ensure the expected speed of work.

91
00:05:16,890 --> 00:05:21,440
*Gameplay problems with equipment change*

92
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,220
Hazel: In addition to technical problems,

93
00:05:24,220 --> 00:05:26,589
the feature had gameplay problems too.

94
00:05:26,589 --> 00:05:30,450
One unimportant timer was affecting the game
more than any other part of a tank.

95
00:05:30,450 --> 00:05:33,960
To win, you had to continuously watch the
equipment of all of your opponents

96
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,599
and change your equipment to best counter
theirs,

97
00:05:36,599 --> 00:05:40,160
but it was becoming more and more difficult
to do this.

98
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,770
We saw that the frequency of changing equipment
began to drop.

99
00:05:42,770 --> 00:05:45,970
On the one hand, it gave the maximum advantage
in battle,

100
00:05:45,970 --> 00:05:49,940
on the other hand, the players had less and
less desire to do this.

101
00:05:49,940 --> 00:05:51,280
Many only changed "defensively"

102
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:54,020
when enemies were changing equipment specifically
against them

103
00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:58,990
and had to deal with an inappropriately large
number of protections against their turret.

104
00:05:58,990 --> 00:06:00,490
Players were faced with a situation

105
00:06:00,490 --> 00:06:02,529
where their desire to play with a certain
turret

106
00:06:02,529 --> 00:06:05,350
and certain equipment that they had been upgrading
for so long

107
00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:08,930
could be completely spoiled and canceled by
the enemy.

108
00:06:08,930 --> 00:06:12,290
What is the point of upgrading a weapon and
learning how to play with it

109
00:06:12,290 --> 00:06:15,190
if the enemy can easily nullify your strengths
in battle?

110
00:06:15,190 --> 00:06:16,190
It's easier to just leave...

111
00:06:16,190 --> 00:06:20,760
To be continued

112
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,180
YouTuber Digest

113
00:06:25,180 --> 00:06:27,180
Welcome back to the YouTuber Digest,

114
00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:31,190
our weekly selection of the best TO videos
created by players.

115
00:06:31,190 --> 00:06:33,870
What’s the highest Legend rank you know?

116
00:06:33,870 --> 00:06:36,839
Well, the highest possible is Legend 10730!

117
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,620
Of course, there are no real accounts with
this rank

118
00:06:40,620 --> 00:06:43,038
but watch what may happen if you reach it!

119
00:07:01,366 --> 00:07:04,110
What can be better than a Juggernaut?

120
00:07:04,110 --> 00:07:05,570
Two Juggernauts!

121
00:07:05,570 --> 00:07:08,510
Will 18 players be enough to beat them?

122
00:07:08,510 --> 00:07:09,510
Find out in Winter’s video!

123
00:07:24,269 --> 00:07:29,332
Question of the Week

124
00:07:29,332 --> 00:07:30,780
Last time, you had to guess

125
00:07:30,780 --> 00:07:35,510
how many status effects would be applied to
Titan Shaft?

126
00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:40,270
The correct answer is: 3 effects.

127
00:07:40,270 --> 00:07:42,510
Congratulations to the winners!

128
00:07:42,510 --> 00:07:44,767
And here is the next question:

129
00:08:05,512 --> 00:08:07,851
Which Wasp will be destroyed first?

130
00:08:11,417 --> 00:08:14,300
That is all the news of the week.
