Greetings everyone! As you all might've heard and seen in the News and Announcements section, EN Community Manager, Sergei Balabanov a.k.a Nives launched a new series of weekly livestreams on May 4, 2018. These streams would not only consist of Nives playing battles (and dropping Golds!) and giving out promotional codes, but would also contain guests from the helpers, the development team and others from time to time. So, here's a full review and highlights of the stream for those of you who didn't watch or understand the questions being answered. Just a little sneak peek, a lot of secrets and plans were revealed in this stream! _________________________________________________________________________________________ As usual, the livestream is available on the official Tanki Online YouTube channel. So if you missed it, go ahead and watch it. For those of you who don't have that much free time at your disposal or those who are interested only in a specific part of the video, we made this summary with direct links. Let's jump right into it! _________________________________________________________________________________________ Questions and Answers w/ Sergei English CM _________________________________________________________________________________________ ► 5:50 Question No.1 - When will the mobile version of the game be released? A: Nives points out that the release date is currently being kept secret, but as promised, selected people will be able to participate in the first-ever testing of the mobile version. This will happen in the second half of May, as announced in this topic. So make sure you sign up for the test and have a chance to be among the first testers of the game! ► 6:23 Question No. 2 - When will the prizes be handed out to YouTubers under new YouTubers TO program? A: "Tonight, first let me finish this stream and then I will send the prizes. Don't worry, if your name is in the list on the forum, everything is alright." ► 11:43 Question No. 3 - Will the old Tanki of 2014 ever come back? A: "Sure, sure... We can all dream but in reality, you can't go back in time. I understand, and trust me, Tanki is not the only game that goes roulette, but even if we bring back that version of the game, it wouldn't survive right now. You look at Fortnite and other mobile, PC and console projects, free to play is very different. You simply can't go back, well you can, but you'll remain as a business for exactly two days!" ► 12:30 Questions No. 4 - When YouTubers will get the Spectator mode? A: "YouTubers who are eligible for receiving Spectator accounts will get them at the beginning of the next week. First, promotional codes for the tier prizes need to be sent out. Also, do not forget that these Spectator permissions will not be on your main accounts, it will be separate accounts whom we will share the nicknames and passwords of." ► 13:30 Question No. 5 - When will the XT Skins update be released? A: "Before the stream, I had an opportunity to ask the man himself, Hazel Rah about certain things, so basically, the answer is, they are being finished right now and the whole new skin system is being prepared for release, but no new skins will be added to the game." So, if I understood this correctly, there will be the new skin system with only the current set of skins (that is, Thunder, Firebird, Railgun, Vulcan for turrets and Wasp, Hornet, Viking, Mammoth for hulls). ► 15:30 Question No. 6 - Nives: So guys, when did you start playing Tanki Online? When did you become what each of you are and when did you become official CMs? Michał Zabraniak / DEMONEKxD: So I started playing like, ahh, oh my God, it was like, let's say six years ago. I was actually applying for Chat Moderator in English community because there wasn't a Polish community at that time and I got rejected, unfortunately! Nives: Well, haha, did I hear about this sometime before? Something must've happened, because right now you are a Community Manager for the Polish region, you didn't leave the game. What happened? Michał: Well, it was probably because of my age, it was understandable. I was fourteen at that time if I am not mistaken. Then, I was added to a special group of translators to translate the Polish insults so they could get banned, haha. It was a really long time for me to get into the chat moderation stuff, but it was worth it actually. Our Chat Moderators in the English community are the best guys, you know? Nives: Sure, if you say so... My PMs beg to differ, haha! I trust you guys, so Kamil, what about you? Kamil Sękalski / yetj: I started playing Tanki about three years ago, about one month before I became the Community Manager. Nives: So you don't care about the game, right? You're only here for the money! Kamil: No... Nives: C'mon, c'mon, spill the beans! Hahahaha! Kamil: Now after me, you describe how long have you been playing Tanki? Nives: Since inception, haha! How can you prove otherwise? Kamil: There is none, but you also don't have proof, all right! Nives: Of course I have! Gimme a couple of minutes with Photoshop and I will have all the proofs! Kamil: So yeah, I played Tanki a lot but I don't remember when I got my icons and avatars. I played very often in the beginning because I had time for it, but when Polish version started, there was a lot of work and things to do - translations, rules, forum etc. Writing, translating, updating etc. and yeah... Now, not very often but from time to time I still play. I translate the updates and then try them out in the game so I know what to answer if I get questions from the players, for example on the Help Desk and sometimes on the chat. If you need to be a Community Manager, you need to know the game. Nives: I hope so! Kamil: Isn't that why you are playing the game right now? Nives: I mean, I believe in general. People will give you crap about not being a veteran player of the project, but if you're a Community Manager and you join a project, it's your duty and your actual work to know the game and to play the game before, because you can't possibly understand people and what they think about balance, about the moderators, updates and all that stuff unless you actually play the game and feel it yourself. So... I agree with you. Tanki wasn't my first love, so whenever I started working on a game, I'd take several months before obsessively playing the game and as cheaply as possible, because you can't expect to understand the game as a paid player from the beginning. ► 20:53 Question No. 7 - Is there an official Tanki Online Discord channel? A: "It is planned, but I don't want to give a specific date. June or July, you will have it, whatever it will cost me you will have it! It's in the works." ► 23:39 Question No. 8 - When will the new Overdrives be released? A: The new Overdrives for hulls have been delayed until summer, but not delayed just because of any random reason. They have been postponed due to something else that will affect gameplay, the entire details of which have not been shared yet. ► 55:58 Question No. 9 - Have the Spectators for April been chosen yet? A: No, but Sergei is sorting through the applications and giving them a final look. Afterwards, it will be announced. "I am a bit swamped with the YouTubers TO initiative, or maybe it's just because we're Russian and lazy. Don't worry!" said Sergei. ► 01:01:44 Question No. 10 - How can I help with the translation of the game into my language? A: "For now, there are no specific positions for new languages, but if, in the future you would like to, we will begin to look for people. First of all, we will choose these people from the VLOG translation crew, so try and join it, prove yourself that you're a responsible and reliable person, and maybe one day, you will get to help with the translation." ► 01:09:26 Question No.11 - Are there any new parkour tournaments being planned? A: Yes, but both of them are being worked on right now. One will be done by the Events team, while the other one will be done by one of the official clubs. _________________________________________________________________________________________ This is the first segment of the article, which only contains questions answered specifically by Nives in the stream. Make sure to check out the question and answer sessions with Semyon and Kamil too, which are down below. Until next time, see you in the battlefield!

I think it would be better if we had to go into the settings to enable or disable it, and not all of it at once by part by part. So let's say if there is UI tab in the Settings, it would have many checkboxes like, HUD, Experience bar etc. and you would check all of them to enable/disable it. If there was a button it could be pressed accidentally and then you would have to press it many times to get back to normal.

Approved! Edits - Multiple grammar edits throughout the article, including capitalization of game-related proper nouns, e.g., turrets and maps. Standardized font size and aligned images to the center. I went ahead and got the non-background image of the module, credits to the new ranks' pages in the Wiki by the way. I also made a table for you since the manual one wasn't adjusting well. In the article you mention that the Badger series is only for melee-close ranged turrets, but after you contradict yourself by saying that it would've been nicer if T-F had Magnum in it too. Also, poor aesthetics? Oh, come on... Sure, juxtaposing it to different hulls in the game it's definitely a bit protruding/odd but really, those air inlets at the front and the side panels look so good. In general, the article, it's lit.

Approved! Edits - Only one minor spelling issue. Definitely an interesting read, good job!
