Tankers, we no longer accept videos. Results will be announced on Friday, November 14. The winner's guide will also be featured in the upcoming video blog! Stay tuned!

Because that's a rail gun :)

Tankers! The new visual effects for Railgun and Isida are now in the game. Now, each tank fires its weapon in a way that represents its true functionality. Isida’s effect used to look like an electric shock. However, its actual function is to repair or damage tanks using a stream of nano-bots. So the new visual effect reflects that. Railgun’s current effect used to look like a laser turret. In reality, it fires electromagnetic projectiles. Its new visual effect is based on that idea. Recently in the video blog, we told you about the process of developing new visual effect for these two turrets. But why not head to the game, check out the new visuals for yourself? You can share your thoughts and impressions with us in the comments below. Also, we would appreciate if you could take a few seconds to answer the following questions. Your feedback matters.How easy is it to identify Railgun’s grade from its effect? How easy is it to identify Isida's grade from its effect? Has the new effect made Railgun look more "powerful" on the battlefield? Has the new effect made Isida look more "powerful" on the battlefield?

Tankers! The 70% turbo discount on Smoky has disappeared in a puff of… well… smoke. We hope you managed to get the discount and add this all-time favorite turret to your garage. More discounts coming your way. Stay tuned!

Not mine, stole it from the skeleton guy. I love my 4s too much to replace it with something else. :D

Early next week most likely. We'll keep you updated.

Next week, stay tuned!

Are you kidding me? The band! The crazy ozzies!

:D Perhaps not all of them, sorry. But don't worry, there is plenty of time to watch them and we can easily see which videos were made before and which after the original deadline.

Four community managers, three kilos of makeup and twenty-one terrorized inhabitants of the Tanki office... Skeleton, Joker, Calavera and Jigsaw invaded the AlternativaPlatform headquarters on a peaceful day. But first things first... Preparations for Halloween started on Monday. At 9 am, a couple of face artists arrived at the office, carrying dozens of brushes and a strange, spray-painting machine (looked more like a hand-made bomb if you ask me). Creating a good Halloween make up takes two makeup artists at least an hour of hard work and never-ending airbrush (that weird machine I told you about earlier). Your humble servant became the Joker — the famous green-haired villain with the infamous quote “Why so serious?”. Popping out from behind the corner is fun, but can be quite risky. Our lead programmer Sergey Peretiatko took his fright a little too seriously and kicked me out of his room. While I was moving to another floor to scare some other guys at Alternativa, our artists heard the noise and managed to take some pics and post them on Instagram. Of course we then had to delete all of them. Spoilers, you know! In the meantime, the face artists found another victim — Mariya Trusevich, community manager for the German community and my occasional sidekick for the video blogs. At first, she couldn’t make up her mind, but finally decided to become Jigsaw from The Saw movie. Despite being very feminine and kind-looking, Mariya’s appearance turned out to be the scariest! Russian community manager Maksim Khusainov spent about 2 hours under the paintbrush, with wadding blocking his nose and ears to prevent the paint from getting inside. To make Max look like a skeleton, the artists had to paint not only his face, but also his arms and legendary shiny top. Let’s just say that quite a few people in the office began stuttering as they came face to face with Max in the HQ’s corridors and rooms. Mariya Nemirskaya, our charming Russian V-LOG host, had the most unusual and feminine makeup of us all, the Calavera skull — the legendary symbol of the Mexican Day of the Dead. While Maksim and Mariya were shooting spooky intros for the Russian video blog, I managed to find my archenemy for the day and dealt with him. That was easy! Meanwhile, the spookiness was spreading from the office and into the game itself. Barda was covered with darkness and fog, and haunted by dozens of ghosts. Pumpkins appeared in the most unexpected places. This special map was the most popular place over the weekend, having been visited by 3 163 621 tankers! Our traditional Facebook event called Mammoth Rush suddenly transformed into Zombie Mammoths. Of course it was held on the holiday map too! By the way, the Halloween forum thread had an easter egg hidden in it. Some of you managed to spot it. For all the rest, here it is! So, that’s what Halloween was like for everyone at the office, and inside the game. We had an amazing time. What about you, tankers? Did you enjoy the Halloween celebrations? Share your impressions in comments below!

Both ways have good and bad points. If we start accepting entries through a form, you won't be able to see how others performed, what videos they made. Comparing your work to others and analyzing them is an essential part of a competition. Making all videos isolated and private is not a 100% right thing too. So, there are no good and bad ways here, but we will certainly try the other method in the future. Thanks for your feedback

Yes, you are allowed to improve your video. Just make sure you don't double post, just replace the video with a new one in your original message.

Based on the number of entries and overall number of requests we got in the communities, we understood that an additional period of time should be given to tankers to submit their videos. To prevent any complaints, it was decided to open and close all the contests at the same time in all the communities, so it got extended everywhere, not just in EN. I do hope we'll get more good videos to use on our social media and wiki thanks to extending it. Also, please note, this change will not affect any of the videos that have already been submitted. Copying will not go unnoticed, rest assured. Finally, I'd like to apologize to everyone who stayed up late to finish the guides on time. The community management team will make sure next contests get better planned deadlines.

Tankers! Has the Halloween discount left a big, gaping hole in your supply of crystals? Well, for the next few hours, you can give yourself a refill at half price. 50% off all credit card and prepaid card purchases till 2am UTC on November 8. Hurry up, you only have a few hours left. With all the discounts we have in line, you might need those crystals sooner than you think. Get some now!

To all those complaining, the jury already watched all the videos and will easily spot an entry that is copying any of the existing ones. This is a chance to those who couldn't make video in time but can come up with something good.

Tankers! Some great news for you! The contest has been extended by 7 days. This means you have one more week to make a video guide on how to use supplies, and get the chance to win the tank of your dreams! You have till 8 AM UTC on November 12 to submit your videos. Good luck!

We really hope you loved the party and had a good time with all the goodies! In the meantime, stay tuned for more events and promotions. See you on the battlefield!

Well yes but it was the best video we got. It also had an ACDC track over it originally, looked a lot more epic with that. :D Thanks, mate! Please let's not argue about which spelling is correct here? If I correct it, some american guy will come and tell me to change it back. :)

Tankers! http://goo.gl/vEQI3d The 31% discount on all garage items, MUs, speed-ups, and mobile and SMS purchases has vanished into thin air like a ghostly presence.

Special Halloween-themed props: flags that look like scarecrows, themed billboards, a special paint, and themed drop box parachutes. AND, 3000 crystal gold boxes — that's three times the value!
