00:00:07,298 --> 00:00:18,329
On this warm autumn evening, we are glad to announce that in Tanki Online...

2
00:00:18,329 --> 00:00:19,301
Hello, tankers!

3
00:00:19,301 --> 00:00:22,865
Prepare for a new V-LOG and lots of new announcements!

4
00:00:22,865 --> 00:00:27,799
Kick back and get your fingers ready to write comments after watching this episode.

5
00:00:27,799 --> 00:00:30,161
A like would be appreciated too!

6
00:00:30,161 --> 00:00:32,118
Ready? Let’s start!

7
00:00:32,118 --> 00:00:36,693
Wild West

8
00:00:36,693 --> 00:00:39,237
Today you can obtain the Event Pass «Stigma».

9
00:00:39,237 --> 00:00:43,847
With it, you will become a participant of an epic fight between two factions.

10
00:00:43,847 --> 00:00:49,292
In this lawless part of the map, called the “Wild West”, each one fights to be on top.

11
00:00:49,292 --> 00:00:52,563
Pick a faction and fight on their side on your path to victory!

12
00:00:52,563 --> 00:00:58,840
Everything depends on your quick reactions and the number of Bullets you own, which are the event currency this time.

13
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,919
Earning Bullets is important for both individual and team progress.

14
00:01:02,919 --> 00:01:08,463
For each owned Bullet, you get additional prizes at the end of the event, which include:

15
00:01:08,463 --> 00:01:14,260
«Driver» augment for Hunter, «Incendiary Missiles» augment for Striker,

16
00:01:14,260 --> 00:01:18,925
«Driver» augment for Hopper, «Pulsar» augment for Railgun,

17
00:01:18,925 --> 00:01:23,603
and of course, a Skin Container!

18
00:01:23,603 --> 00:01:27,728
You can obtain Bullets by completing special missions in the Wild West section.

19
00:01:27,728 --> 00:01:33,412
BUT — the missions appear one by one on each consecutive day at 02:00 UTC.

20
00:01:33,412 --> 00:01:39,952
If you fail to do so on time, you can still get Bullets by purchasing them in the Shop both for crystals and Tankoins.

21
00:01:39,952 --> 00:01:44,067
You can follow the battle between Sheriffs and Bandits on the special website.

22
00:01:44,067 --> 00:01:49,073
On the 23rd of October, we will find out who the winning side is.

23
00:01:49,073 --> 00:01:50,695
The guns are loaded!

24
00:01:50,695 --> 00:01:52,817
A fierce battle awaits!

25
00:01:52,817 --> 00:01:59,361
Feel the breath of the Wild West in each shot and be prepared for an unpredictable turn of events!

26
00:01:59,361 --> 00:02:03,901
Mandatory Upgrades

27
00:02:03,901 --> 00:02:07,367
We have implemented many changes to the upgrade system in the past.

28
00:02:07,367 --> 00:02:14,720
We have changed the price of upgrades, increased the number of modifications, and even completely removed the upgrade timer.

29
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,431
All of this was done to make the game easier to understand for everyone.

30
00:02:18,431 --> 00:02:20,625
It is now time to address the question:

31
00:02:20,626 --> 00:02:27,847
“If the next modification isn’t given for free after fully upgrading the equipment, why even bother upgrading it at all?”.

32
00:02:27,847 --> 00:02:31,606
This seems like a problem that would affect even the newest players.

33
00:02:31,606 --> 00:02:36,647
The current upgrade system seems very understandable and we thought it was simple enough:

34
00:02:36,647 --> 00:02:43,118
the tanker sees the upgrade steps and also sees the modification that is still not unlocked because of their rank.

35
00:02:43,118 --> 00:02:48,120
Starting with Mk1 and understanding that one needs to upgrade their turret and hull,

36
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:55,621
the tanker starts to gradually earn crystals and upgrade the equipment characteristics within the modification to get closer to Mk2.

37
00:02:55,621 --> 00:03:00,957
But as the game progresses and the tanker ranks up, Mk2 becomes available quite soon.

38
00:03:00,957 --> 00:03:05,564
Then the tanker wonders why they should even consider upgrading the current modification

39
00:03:05,564 --> 00:03:09,939
if they unlock the next modification halfway through upgrading the current one.

40
00:03:09,939 --> 00:03:16,551
And with that in mind, the tanker just waits to unlock Mk3 instead of fully upgrading the Mk2 modification.

41
00:03:16,551 --> 00:03:25,160
This way, the tanker holds on to the weaker equipment in hopes of upgrading it once they rank up, instead of upgrading the current modification gradually.

42
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,501
Thus, the current upgrade system can not be considered ideal.

43
00:03:29,501 --> 00:03:36,005
It also creates big differences in Gear Score in MM battles due to the lack of upgrades within the equipment segment.

44
00:03:36,005 --> 00:03:43,452
It has strange pitfalls that even experienced tankers can stumble over, losing several hundred thousand crystals in the process.

45
00:03:43,452 --> 00:03:46,969
We agree that the current situation needs to be corrected!

46
00:03:46,969 --> 00:03:55,454
With the release of the updated system, tank upgrades will become as straightforward as possible and will lose all the shortcomings of the current version.

47
00:03:55,454 --> 00:04:02,175
In order to get to the next modification, we will introduce a mandatory “full upgrades” mechanism within each modification.

48
00:04:02,175 --> 00:04:09,753
Even if the next modification has become available at the player’s rank, it can only be obtained after going through all the upgrade steps.

49
00:04:09,753 --> 00:04:14,154
You all are probably wondering whether the upgrading will start costing more.

50
00:04:14,154 --> 00:04:18,534
NO! The price in crystals will be reduced for each upgrade step.

51
00:04:18,534 --> 00:04:26,961
Mk2, Mk3, Mk4, Mk5 and Mk6 will become cheaper, just like each of their individual upgrade steps.

52
00:04:26,961 --> 00:04:32,246
The prices of Mk1 and Mk7 will not change in terms of crystals spent.

53
00:04:32,246 --> 00:04:40,041
This way, after this update, you will no longer have to think whether you should upgrade the current modification or wait until you unlock the next one.

54
00:04:40,041 --> 00:04:44,692
You will just spend your crystals and gradually upgrade your favorite equipment!

55
00:04:44,692 --> 00:04:46,864
Let’s finish on this for now.

56
00:04:46,864 --> 00:04:50,208
We will share more details with you before the update is released.

57
00:04:50,208 --> 00:04:54,266

58
00:04:54,266 --> 00:04:59,664
Autumn maps

59
00:04:59,664 --> 00:05:01,049
Hello, tankers!

60
00:05:01,049 --> 00:05:06,000
We were making a new map, and it came to our mind that it would really go well with an autumn theme.

61
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:13,428
And we have prepared a complete set of autumn textures, so very soon we will witness the release of the fall theme for HD maps!

62
00:05:13,428 --> 00:05:17,041
Thus some of the maps will have all three versions.

63
00:05:54,136 --> 00:05:59,512
Question of the Week

64
00:05:59,512 --> 00:06:06,553
Last time, you had to guess how many salvos are needed to destroy the Titan.

65
00:06:06,553 --> 00:06:11,229
The correct answer is: 10

66
00:06:11,229 --> 00:06:14,177
Congratulations to the winners!

67
00:06:14,177 --> 00:06:16,528
And here is the next question:

68
00:06:28,431 --> 00:06:32,599
Which tank will have the ball when it is 17:00 left on the battle timer?

69
00:06:35,049 --> 00:06:37,010
That’s all we had for you this week.
