1 00:00:08,026 --> 00:00:09,026 Hello, tankers! 2 00:00:09,026 --> 00:00:12,192 Let’s start this episode with news about a major update 3 00:00:12,192 --> 00:00:14,690 to the interaction between drones and supplies. 4 00:00:19,824 --> 00:00:21,616 If you do not have a drone equipped, 5 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,430 the following three types of supplies will no longer be available: 6 00:00:25,430 --> 00:00:28,198 boosted damage, boosted armor and speed boost. 7 00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:46,290 All you need to do to restore access to these supplies is to equip any drone. 8 00:00:46,290 --> 00:00:50,370 Moreover, once you equip a drone, you won’t be able to unequip it, 9 00:00:50,370 --> 00:00:52,940 only to replace it with another one. 10 00:00:52,940 --> 00:00:54,809 We decided to implement this update 11 00:00:54,809 --> 00:01:00,500 after studying the results of the previous change in the interaction between these two mechanics. 12 00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:03,539 Nowadays, drones play a major role in the strength of a tank. 13 00:01:03,539 --> 00:01:08,190 However, we noticed that sometimes players do not equip drones to save batteries, 14 00:01:08,190 --> 00:01:12,689 but this means they also lose a large portion of their tank’s real power. 15 00:01:12,689 --> 00:01:16,290 Furthermore, few people know that you can just equip the «Brutus» drone which, 16 00:01:16,290 --> 00:01:19,729 unlike all other Drones, consumes no batteries. 17 00:01:19,729 --> 00:01:22,080 By removing the option to unequip drones, 18 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,049 we hope that more players will know about the intricacies of using drones. 19 00:01:26,049 --> 00:01:30,140 High rank players won’t even notice these changes, and at the same time, 20 00:01:30,140 --> 00:01:33,680 it'll be easier for newcomers to start their journey in Tanki. 21 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,610 Some already have drones so they have access to supplies 22 00:01:36,610 --> 00:01:40,369 and can play the same way as before, and others have no drones, 23 00:01:40,369 --> 00:01:44,850 so they don’t have to worry about managing supplies and the game will be easier for them. 24 00:01:44,850 --> 00:01:49,079 New players still have two of five supplies available from the very beginning — 25 00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:50,790 Repair Kit and Mine. 26 00:01:50,790 --> 00:01:52,619 Once they reach the «Corporal» rank, 27 00:01:52,619 --> 00:01:55,869 they get the «Brutus» drone which gives them access to other supplies 28 00:01:55,869 --> 00:01:57,610 and consumes no batteries. 29 00:01:57,610 --> 00:02:00,479 Then, having gained access to other drones, 30 00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:05,470 the player will find out about the other effects drones can apply to the behavior of supplies. 31 00:02:05,470 --> 00:02:08,350 The more you play the game, the better drones you can use, 32 00:02:08,350 --> 00:02:11,140 and the more powerful your tank becomes. 33 00:02:11,140 --> 00:02:14,440 Such improvements to the game are essential for the future of the project 34 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,800 and will make the game better, especially for beginners. 35 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,970 After all, the more players there are in the game, 36 00:02:19,970 --> 00:02:22,780 the more fun it is for ALL of us to play. 37 00:02:22,780 --> 00:02:26,080 By examining how new tankers go through the new tutorial, 38 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,510 we identified weaknesses not only in the tutorial itself, 39 00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:31,819 but also in the mechanics of the game process. 40 00:02:31,819 --> 00:02:35,440 We also appreciate all the feedback you sent to us. 41 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,096 Your support and participation in making the game better for newcomers 42 00:02:39,096 --> 00:02:41,550 is very important for the project. 43 00:02:41,550 --> 00:02:46,599 Ultra Weekend and Hyperion XT 44 00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:49,280 While everything is being prepared for the next event, 45 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,750 we invite you to take part in the last Ultra Weekend of October! 46 00:02:52,750 --> 00:02:57,290 Earn Ultra Containers and stars for completing eight special missions. 47 00:02:57,290 --> 00:03:00,650 Once you finish them all, you will get an additional reward. 48 00:03:00,650 --> 00:03:02,900 While sometimes luck may not be on your side, 49 00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:05,440 we will leave you an option to replenish your Garage 50 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,300 with even more containers by purchasing special offers. 51 00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:12,860 This time we will have 3 of them available in the Showcase. 52 00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:16,959 In contrast to Scorpion’s «Incendiary Shells» augment we had recently, 53 00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:22,360 this time we’ve updated Ultra Containers with a «Cryo Shells» augment for the same turret. 54 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,880 Now, critical shots will freeze an opponent for 3 seconds. 55 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,700 Moreover, the rocket salvo also applies the status effect. 56 00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:31,980 The other prize of the missions is stars; 57 00:03:31,980 --> 00:03:34,209 you need them to reach higher levels of the Challenge 58 00:03:34,209 --> 00:03:37,080 to earn more prizes and complete it faster. 59 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,420 Everyone who finishes it will get 100 Tankoins, 60 00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:43,450 and Battle Pass owners also receive a unique skin, 61 00:03:43,450 --> 00:03:45,760 this time the Legacy skin for Shaft. 62 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:50,420 However, we have thousands of players who don’t stop upon reaching the last level 63 00:03:50,420 --> 00:03:53,099 and continue to earn even more stars! 64 00:03:53,099 --> 00:03:55,620 They take part in the «Challenge Accepted» event 65 00:03:55,620 --> 00:03:59,400 and the player with the highest number of stars gets the superprize. 66 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,750 This time instead of Crisis XT, we have Hyperion XT. 67 00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:08,769 In the user manual of this Drone you will find information about increased supply consumption, 68 00:04:08,769 --> 00:04:10,230 but will that stop you? 69 00:04:10,230 --> 00:04:15,970 After all, you must admit it, this is a small price to pay for its mind-blowing appearance, 70 00:04:15,970 --> 00:04:18,540 the chance to get 10,000 Gear Score, 71 00:04:18,540 --> 00:04:22,860 and a feeling of unshakable coolness in matchmaking battles. 72 00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:25,419 Last but not least, we have a festive mode - 73 00:04:25,419 --> 00:04:31,750 Juggernaut on the following maps: Kungur MM, Solikamsk MM and Yorkshire MM. 74 00:04:31,750 --> 00:04:35,710 Don’t miss your chance to catch the mega gold! 75 00:04:35,710 --> 00:04:40,009 Updated PC client 76 00:04:40,009 --> 00:04:44,120 Our game client for PC players has been updated to version 2.0.0. 77 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,949 The most notable changes are: 78 00:04:45,949 --> 00:04:48,210 a fix of some visual bugs in the Garage, 79 00:04:48,210 --> 00:04:51,580 a working option to log in with your Google account, 80 00:04:51,580 --> 00:04:53,759 and a way to link your Twitch profile. 81 00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:58,580 The last option was previously only available to those who played on the browser version. 82 00:04:58,580 --> 00:05:02,669 Note that you will need to download the new version from our website. 83 00:05:02,669 --> 00:05:06,509 This process is simple: start by uninstalling the old version, 84 00:05:06,509 --> 00:05:10,460 then download the new .exe file using the «Download» button and launch it. 85 00:05:10,460 --> 00:05:16,539 Wait a minute, and you will have the new version installed, with the updated game logo. 86 00:05:16,539 --> 00:05:20,110 Q&A section 87 00:05:20,110 --> 00:05:23,760 Before the major event, we have some time to answer your fresh questions 88 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,020 collected from our social networks. 89 00:05:27,020 --> 00:05:29,180 80s asks 90 00:05:29,180 --> 00:05:33,150 When will we get an option to ask a friend to join their group? 91 00:05:33,150 --> 00:05:37,850 For example, when clicking on a friend who is inside a group we will have an option called: 92 00:05:37,850 --> 00:05:44,229 "Ask to join", so if they are the leader they can accept us inside. 93 00:05:44,229 --> 00:05:46,530 One day we will make it possible. 94 00:05:46,530 --> 00:05:51,360 We have plans to rework the MM group interface when updating the game Lobby’s interface. 95 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,630 When we get to this, we might add this feature. 96 00:05:54,630 --> 00:05:57,060 Matvej Kozlov asks 97 00:05:57,060 --> 00:06:02,610 Why, when I use Ares’ overdrive to destroy opponents, it tears off their turrets 98 00:06:02,610 --> 00:06:06,990 but these kills are not counted towards progress of such special missions as 99 00:06:06,990 --> 00:06:11,346 «Destroy X tanks using critical damage»? 100 00:06:11,346 --> 00:06:16,780 Destroying a tank with an overdrive is not counted as destroying a tank with critical damage. 101 00:06:16,780 --> 00:06:18,840 Overdrives deal their own type of damage, 102 00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:22,720 on the other hand, the mission requires dealing the critical type of damage. 103 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,009 Maybe the idea of using the «Jack-in-the-box» 104 00:06:25,009 --> 00:06:28,440 when you destroy a tank with an overdrive confuses some players, 105 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,690 but it looks cool. 106 00:06:30,690 --> 00:06:31,860 Paparik asks 107 00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:37,090 Will shot effects change the color of plasma inside Ricochet’s barrel? 108 00:06:37,090 --> 00:06:42,069 Ricochet’s textures are built into its model for the purpose of optimization. 109 00:06:42,069 --> 00:06:45,630 Creating different textures for each shot effect is resource consuming. 110 00:06:45,630 --> 00:06:49,569 Moreover, the game client will have to load multiple versions of Ricochet textures 111 00:06:49,569 --> 00:06:52,410 when loading into a battle. 112 00:06:52,410 --> 00:06:53,569 scoobis asks 113 00:06:53,569 --> 00:06:58,790 What do you think about this idea: give 500-1000 more crystals to a player 114 00:06:58,790 --> 00:07:04,960 if they destroy 4 tanks at a time without being destroyed? 115 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,410 This change will have negative effect on game balance in battles. 116 00:07:08,410 --> 00:07:10,650 Strong players will be becoming even stronger 117 00:07:10,650 --> 00:07:16,106 and weak players won’t even have a chance to catch up to them. 118 00:07:16,106 --> 00:07:17,780 Drones asks 119 00:07:17,780 --> 00:07:21,600 Will Ares hull disable Wasp’s bomb overdrive as well, 120 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,810 such as Titan with its dome and Mammoth with its overdrive? 121 00:07:25,810 --> 00:07:27,560 If possible. 122 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,780 No, Ares won’t work this way. 123 00:07:30,780 --> 00:07:36,440 Neither we need to weaken Wasp’s bomb nor we need to boost Ares overdrive now. 124 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,690 Arabi-Power asks 125 00:07:38,690 --> 00:07:42,800 Can you please make a “ghost” mode where my teammates cannot hit me? 126 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:48,620 I often meet players with Twins who shoot at everyone, opponents and teammates, 127 00:07:48,620 --> 00:07:51,819 and it is very distracting. 128 00:07:51,819 --> 00:07:55,270 Physical interaction with teammates is an essential part of the gameplay. 129 00:07:55,270 --> 00:08:00,224 However, we can make an augment that will let you ignore the force of impact on your hull. 130 00:08:00,224 --> 00:08:05,039 YouTube digest 131 00:08:05,039 --> 00:08:07,190 Welcome back to YouTuber digest, 132

you will surprise us with one of your videos. 150 00:10:02,279 --> 00:10:08,434 Question of the Week 151 00:10:08,434 --> 00:10:09,959 Last time, you had to guess 152 00:10:09,959 --> 00:10:18,970 how many shots the Thunder with Vacuum shells equipped needed to destroy all the Wasps. 153 00:10:18,970 --> 00:10:24,490 The correct answer is: 4. 154 00:10:24,490 --> 00:10:27,180 Congratulations to the winners! 155 00:10:27,180 --> 00:10:29,680 And here is the next question: 156 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,550 How many flips will the Hornet Railgun do in the air? 157 00:10:50,246 --> 00:10:51,920
