1
00:00:08,290 --> 00:00:09,310
Hello, tankers!

2
00:00:09,310 --> 00:00:13,490
It’s Friday again and that means a new episode
of the V-LOG!

3
00:00:13,490 --> 00:00:16,430
As always, we have prepared a weekly report
of news for you!

4
00:00:16,430 --> 00:00:18,122
Let’s get started!

5
00:00:18,122 --> 00:00:22,500
Ultra Weekend

6
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:26,470
We won’t let you spend a weekend without
special activities in Tanki.

7
00:00:26,470 --> 00:00:28,060
Everything is ready on our side:

8
00:00:28,060 --> 00:00:32,340
festive decorations, missions, special offers
and festive game modes.

9
00:00:32,340 --> 00:00:33,980
And what about you?

10
00:00:33,980 --> 00:00:36,880
Are you ready to join the flow of fascinating
activities?

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,800
Let’s start with missions!

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,690
This time, to complete the Supermission

13
00:00:40,690 --> 00:00:44,870
and get 7 Ultra Containers and 3 units of
the «Nuclear Energy» supply,

14
00:00:44,870 --> 00:00:47,640
you need to complete 8 special missions.

15
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,390
If you are a Premium tanker or are fond of
getting all the Challenge rewards,

16
00:00:51,390 --> 00:00:54,050
2 more missions are available for you.

17
00:00:54,050 --> 00:00:59,780
On top of the prizes, you can also earn twice
as much experience and battle funds in all battles.

18
00:00:59,780 --> 00:01:03,020
For sure, you would like everyone to see the
new Ricochet HD skin

19
00:01:03,020 --> 00:01:05,650
that we have released this week equipped on
your tank.

20
00:01:05,650 --> 00:01:09,159
However, don’t hesitate to take a look at
the Shop’s showcase,

21
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:12,660
where you can find even more stuff to make
your tank look better.

22
00:01:12,660 --> 00:01:15,220
This time there are 3 special offers with
skins,

23
00:01:15,220 --> 00:01:16,630
units of the «Nuclear Energy» supply,

24
00:01:16,630 --> 00:01:19,120
and, of course, Ultra Containers!

25
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:24,770
Lastly, we have supplemented them with Scorpion’s
new «Incendiary shells» augment.

26
00:01:24,770 --> 00:01:28,080
With this equipped, your salvos will be even
more powerful,

27
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,680
as once rockets reach a target,

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:35,200
the «Burning» status effect is applied and
an additional 300 HP units are removed.

29
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,280
You’ll have a great opportunity to test
this augment once you get it.

30
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,830
This weekend we have a special festive «Deathmatch»
mode

31
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:43,600
available on the following maps:

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,345
Osa MM, Chernobyl MM, and Aleksandrovsk MM.

33
00:02:10,350 --> 00:02:13,980
On top of this, you can catch a gold box containing
10 000 crystals,

34
00:02:13,980 --> 00:02:18,950
and you have a perfect set of activities to
take part in this weekend!

35
00:02:18,950 --> 00:02:22,900
Mission sets interface

36
00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:27,620
While a part of our development team works
on 2 variants of the new battle interface,

37
00:02:27,620 --> 00:02:32,430
another part is working on another important
screen for the game lobby: Missions.

38
00:02:32,430 --> 00:02:35,409
When we hold long events lasting 2 or 3 weeks,

39
00:02:35,409 --> 00:02:38,069
there are always dozens of special missions
to complete.

40
00:02:38,069 --> 00:02:41,309
We put them in sets of missions with a main
one - the Supermission.

41
00:02:41,309 --> 00:02:43,680
We have also usually had a set of these Supermissions

42
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,279
with an even bigger SuperSupermission.

43
00:02:46,279 --> 00:02:49,349
Yes, it's really easy to get confused here,

44
00:02:49,349 --> 00:02:53,019
so it was decided to rework the interface
for this section.

45
00:02:53,019 --> 00:02:55,489
We are ready to share some concept arts with
you.

46
00:02:55,489 --> 00:02:59,499
There will be a new screen between the Lobby
and lists of missions.

47
00:02:59,499 --> 00:03:03,530
It shows special cards with missions available
at the time of entering the game.

48
00:03:03,530 --> 00:03:06,769
Challenges, weekly, daily, and special missions.

49
00:03:06,769 --> 00:03:11,370
The number of cards directly depends on the
list of ongoing activities in the game.

50
00:03:11,370 --> 00:03:15,159
For example, when there are multiple events
running simultaneously,

51
00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:16,879
there will be even more cards than usual.

52
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:21,169
You can also see how much time
is left before the missions expire.

53
00:03:21,169 --> 00:03:24,870
Share your feedback and tell us what you think
we need to add or change,

54
00:03:24,870 --> 00:03:29,193
we keep an eye on your comments and want to
thank everyone who helps us make the game better.

55
00:03:29,193 --> 00:03:34,680
Shot effect for Scorpion

56
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,280
Since the end of Scorpion’s early access
stage,

57
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,459
there are more and more players who have this
turret.

58
00:03:40,459 --> 00:03:43,909
Sometimes there are battles where every other
player is playing with Scorpion equipped.

59
00:03:43,909 --> 00:03:46,709
We’re glad that this new turret is so popular.

60
00:03:46,709 --> 00:03:49,470
However, the more Scorpions there are in the
game,

61
00:03:49,470 --> 00:03:51,839
the more messages about lag we receive.

62
00:03:51,839 --> 00:03:54,139
Don’t worry, we have a solution.

63
00:03:54,139 --> 00:03:58,870
Currently, a shot effect of Scorpion rockets
is drawn using multiple smoke particles

64
00:03:58,870 --> 00:04:01,569
that transform into a rocket trace.

65
00:04:01,569 --> 00:04:07,449
Striker rockets work the same way, but it
launches 3 times fewer rockets than the new turret.

66
00:04:07,449 --> 00:04:08,620
When Scorpion shoots,

67
00:04:08,620 --> 00:04:16,168
you see animation of multiple rockets at the
same time, and it affects your FPS.

68
00:04:16,168 --> 00:04:17,279
Here is a visual example.

69
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,259
Let’s take 5 Scorpions.

70
00:04:19,260 --> 00:04:23,630
All of them aim at the same target and shoot
at the same place.

71
00:04:23,630 --> 00:04:27,400
A camera is set in a way such that a player
can see all the rockets.

72
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,342
Let’s take a look at the FPS indicator.

73
00:04:30,342 --> 00:04:34,670
The new shot effect uses a different system
of particles.

74
00:04:34,670 --> 00:04:37,590
Instead of drawing a huge number of smoke
particles,

75
00:04:37,590 --> 00:04:40,650
we draw just one smoke line per each rocket.

76
00:04:40,650 --> 00:04:42,900
This is much easier for the game’s engine,

77
00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:47,340
meaning it consumes less resources and reduces
the effect on performance.

78
00:04:47,340 --> 00:04:50,040
Here is the same benchmark with 5 Scorpions,

79
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,820
but the optimized shot effect is in effect.

80
00:04:52,820 --> 00:04:55,230
The same map, the same target.

81
00:04:55,230 --> 00:04:59,620
This change will bring an increase of performance
in some cases by 20%

82
00:04:59,620 --> 00:05:02,130
The new shot effect is already in the game.

83
00:05:02,130 --> 00:05:03,157
Make sure to check it out

84
00:05:03,157 --> 00:05:07,875
and see how your FPS doesn’t decrease when there are many Scorpions in a battle.

85
00:05:07,875 --> 00:05:12,190
Q&A section

86
00:05:12,190 --> 00:05:16,040
This week, we again asked you to send us your
questions on social media.

87
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,420
Out of hundreds of your comments, we have
chosen the most interesting ones:

88
00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:22,400
Vip_Dylan asks

89
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,690
Unlike other skins, Dictator HD doesn’t
have backfiring.

90
00:05:25,690 --> 00:05:30,200
Is it a bug or this hull runs on diesel?

91
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,240
Indeed, we lost the backfiring of Dictator
HD somewhere.

92
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,718
Thanks for noticing it, we will prepare a
fix.

93
00:05:37,718 --> 00:05:40,010
Hill Dima asks

94
00:05:40,010 --> 00:05:44,530
Do you have plans to expand the possibilities
of photo mode in the Garage?

95
00:05:44,530 --> 00:05:48,070
For example, add an option to choose different
backgrounds,

96
00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:51,270
make the tank not just spin in the air, but
stand on something,

97
00:05:51,270 --> 00:05:55,720
or even make it possible to add some scenery.

98
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,090
We have no such plans.

99
00:05:57,090 --> 00:05:59,770
Instead, we intentionally make screenshots
transparent,

100
00:05:59,770 --> 00:06:03,550
so you can add whatever background and scenery
you want.

101
00:06:03,550 --> 00:06:06,230
We will consider adding an enhanced photo
mode,

102
00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:09,810
but after we finish remastering graphics in
the game.

103
00:06:09,810 --> 00:06:13,070
Aleksej Alekseev asks

104
00:06:13,070 --> 00:06:18,850
Will there be Supermissions like «Destroy
9999 tanks»

105
00:06:18,850 --> 00:06:22,090
with mega prizes (retro skins or something
like that).

106
00:06:22,090 --> 00:06:23,510
We had such missions earlier.

107
00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:28,100
A long time ago, we did have such missions,

108
00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:33,680
where for the destruction of 9999 tanks you
could get an XT skin.

109
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,230
These missions were like a prequel to Containers.

110
00:06:36,230 --> 00:06:39,950
Now we have Containers, but it doesn’t mean
there will be no sequel for them.

111
00:06:39,950 --> 00:06:46,124
Maybe such missions will find a place in the
future contracts system ;)

112
00:06:46,124 --> 00:06:48,360
Question from social media

113
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,370
I spent much time playing in matchmaking to
complete that

114
00:06:51,370 --> 00:06:54,420
«Finish 60 battles in matchmaking» missions,

115
00:06:54,420 --> 00:06:57,520
but I only had 2 battles on the Forest Remastered
map.

116
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,880
Will you increase the frequency of this map
in matchmaking pool?

117
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:07,530
Yes, we are gradually increasing the number
of battles on remastered maps in matchmaking.

118
00:07:07,530 --> 00:07:09,580
Not only by adding new maps,

119
00:07:09,580 --> 00:07:15,970
but also by increasing the frequency of remastered
maps in the matchmaking system.

120
00:07:15,970 --> 00:07:17,200
Helax asks

121
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,920
Will there be decorated tree bushes during
events like in Halloween before?

122
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,940
It would look so cool again as it was.

123
00:07:25,940 --> 00:07:29,470
It looked cool before we started adding more
greenery to maps.

124
00:07:29,470 --> 00:07:31,310
Once we added 3D versions of them,

125
00:07:31,310 --> 00:07:36,310
it is a hard task to add themed decorations
for trees and bushes.

126
00:07:36,310 --> 00:07:39,960
Tell us how important this is for you, and
we will consider this idea.

127
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,252
Maybe we will find a compromise.

128
00:07:42,252 --> 00:07:47,537
Question of the Week

129
00:07:47,537 --> 00:07:55,970
Last time, you had to guess which status effect
immunity the Titan has.

130
00:07:55,970 --> 00:08:00,990
The correct answer is: AP Immunity.

131
00:08:00,990 --> 00:08:03,740
Congratulations to the winners!

132
00:08:03,740 --> 00:08:06,000
And here is the next question:

133
00:08:25,757 --> 00:08:29,729
How many shots does the Thunder with Vacuum
shell equipped need to destroy all the Wasps?

134
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:33,619
That’s all for this week.

135
00:08:33,620 --> 00:08:35,049
We are waiting for your comments

136
00:08:35,049 --> 00:08:38,449
as we have announced multiple novelties in
this episode.

137
00:08:38,450 --> 00:08:40,390
Your feedback is important to us.

138
00:08:40,390 --> 00:08:41,950
Don't forget to like the video

139
00:08:41,950 --> 00:08:45,510
and hit the bell to get a notification whenever
we post a new video!

140
00:08:45,510 --> 00:08:49,149
See you next Friday at the same place and
at the same time.

141
00:08:49,149 --> 00:08:49,649
Bye![]
