Review Condensed: Holiday Special Community Livestream

[marc.jp_44 20,837]

 

Greetings, tankers! On the 30th of December, Sergei, together with some prominent English Helpers, launched a lengthy two-hour stream which, in the end, turned out to be quite interesting and prosperous for some. In the Stream, we got an in-depth explanation of different Administrators' roles and get an insight as to what the development team has planned for us this year. Read on to find out more!

 

 

For those of you who didn't catch the stream, here it is - and for those who were deterred by the two hour livestream, keep reading for a condensed version! Please note that some responses were modified in order to make them easier to understand.

☼ Guest No. 1: skeletorXVIII (aka. Fabian/Fabi) | EN Events Administrator ☼

 

► 19:11 Question No. 1 | Nikk: "What's up with Rugby Mode?"
 
Nives: "Rugby Mode is not coming out this week, not this year [2017] even. Possibly January. See, this time we tried to test stuff."
skeletorXVIII: "Are you saying that you don't usually test your updates?" 
Nives: "Fabian. Remember the part when I told you that you needed to support me and back me up? Well, every update, every mode, every event, is always tested. But to make sure that Rugby Mode is 110% bug-free, our programmers decided to take another couple of weeks to make it happen in January."

 

► 21:04 Question No. 2 | Nives: "Fabian, lots of stuff happened in the Events in 2017. Can you tell us what to expect in future?"

 

skeletorXVIII: "Yeah, we are already preparing for the future. As you may know, we added a "Contests" section and two contests are already being worked on and are in the further stages of development. We have one Parkour contest that Nikk can probably explain more about. We also have one Art contest where your goal is basically to design the HTML5 interface, or how you imagine the HTML5 version will look like after the update hits and a new user interface is made. So, we managed to get some of the German Contest Organisers to help us out."
 
► 22:07 Question No. 3 | Nives: "You've done a lot in 2017 as an Official Administrator. Would you like to give anyone a shoutout?"
 
Nikk: "Me, me, me, me!"
skeletorXVIII: "Well, aside from Torben (@Torben_BoS) and maybe @Nikk, definitely Felix (@FelRigge63), who helped us out a lot with the videos and tutorials that we had to do for Events and Trailers. He definitely did some great work with those and also @O_White_O, who helped us out with securing the evidence in the Events."
 
► 23:28 Question No. 4 | Nikk: "I have my own question; will there be Containers as a reward in Missions?"
 
Nives: "Maybe, no confirmation as of now, no news right now but make sure you stay tuned on the Forum for any announcements. That's probably not the answer who wanted or expected but I have to be official, because my words are always being interpreted as the official words of Tanki."
 
► 24:38 Question No. 5 | Nives: "Fabian, tell me how you began working with Torben? I'm new and don't know this stuff."
 
skeletorXVIII: "Basically, we were both around since the beginning of the German Events. So, that's over three years now. He started around a month after myself and became an [Event] Organizer around a month after I did. Because of this, we are pretty experienced and close. Also, aside from Tanki, we also play a lot of games together. For example, GTA V."
 
► 25:49 Question No. 6 | Nikk: "I have a question for you, Fabian; 'Who are you?' Somebody is asking."
 
skeletorXVIII: "I am basically the Administrator of the English Community Events and have been for around about half a year. I have been Co-Administrator for around three quarters of a year. For the German Events, I basically filled the Administrator for around two and a half to three years. So, basically, I am the guy who picked up @Nikk and trained him before he became the English Admin."
 
► 26:31 Question No. 7 | Nikk: "By the way, I have a question for Sergei. About Spectators... "
 
Nives: "Wait, wait, wait a second, that's 'Mister Sergei' to you!"
Nikk: "What?! Since when?!"
Nives: "Since I am your Alpha and Omega! Alright, regarding Spectators, we have already given the first person and we will announce the second one at the beginning of January. So yeah, Spectators, let me remind you, Spectators are not only in December, it's a support program, we give Spectator to someone every month; at least one person will get it every month. But for that to happen, make sure that when you apply for Spectator, you don't have any bans! No chat, no hard bans, no stuff like that! Because, we check all of that. Even if you send a very cool video, it's so much more painful to see how good you are on the editing side but I can't give you Spectator because you get banned like ... 12 times a week!"
 

☞ 31:48 | Tanki Awards 2017 Winners Announcement: "eSports Clan of the Year" ☜

 
Nives: "Okay, let's be professional for at least one minute! All of the results will be posted on the Forum in the 'Tanki Awards 2017' with every category and every winner but right now, Fabian, are you ready?!"
skeletorXVIII: "Yes." 
Nives: "Are you hyped? Are you ready to hear the best eSports Clan of 2017?!"
skeletorXVIII: "Absolutely!"
Nives: "So, let's start with place number three! The third spot was a close call, with 9.4% of total votes going to... Clan 'KNIGHTS.' In the second spot, with 14% of total votes is... *drumroll please* Clan 'International.' I see this graph and it says that 50% of all people voted for 'Synergy,' which is the winner for this year!"

☼ Guest No. 2: CooperO (aka. Coop/Cooper) | EN Forum Administrator ☼

 
► 36:01 Question No. 1 | Nives: "How has it been lately on the Forum? It's the end of the year, people are probably going a bit rowdy!"
 
CooperO: "People are especially curious about this new animated paint."
Nives: "What animated paint? I know of no such animated paint!"
CooperO: "Yeah, I'm sure you don't!"
Nives: "I know that whatever the riddle is, it is solved by some letters; some words that maybe need to be formed into a sentence... or title... I could probably get fired for this but this is the biggest hint I can give if I want to stay alive in 2018!"
CooperO: "Some players seem to have already figured it out."
 
► 38:15 Question No. 2 | Nikk: "Cooper, are you a girl? People are asking..."
 
CooperO: "Uhh, yeah... I am."
Nikk: "Okay, that was kinda obvious."
CooperO: "That was a very... interesting question."
Nives: "Yeah, well that's the internet for you!" I am lucky; I already know that I am gay, so it's done for me!"
CooperO: "I thought you said plenty of times that you were a straight male!"
Nives: "See, I think it's the negative reinforcement, the more times I say it, the more I convince people that it's the opposite!"
 
► 39:03 Question No. 3 | Nives: "Tell me, what is your preferred combo of choice?"
 
CooperO: "In No Supplies battles, it's usually Hornet-Smoky but in battles with Supplies enabled, it's usually any turret with Viking."
Nives: "Yes, Viking... good choice! I am telling you as a professional, Viking is a good choice!"
 
► 40:39 Question No. 4 | Nives: "Who in your crew of Forum Mods would you like to give a shoutout to, this year, this Holiday Stream?"
 
CooperO: "Well, all of them. They've all been great!"
 
► 41:12 Question No. 5 | Nikk: "What is the importance of karma when applying for a Helper position?"
 
Nives: "Good question! I can definitely tell you that karma is important, myself."
CooperO: "Well, yes, it is definitely important. It's not everything that counts, though."
 
► 43:17 Question No. 6 | Nikk: "What are the age requirements for a Helper?"
 
CooperO: "For Forum Moderators, there are no specific age requirements but we do want them to be mature enough for the role."
Nives: "What does 'mature' mean for you? For me, it means that you don't into chats spamming profanity, you do not curse, are not racist, all that stuff; just be reasonable. Make sure you that you behave well in the Chat if you want to be a Helper Candidate. If you do not do any of that stuff, we will welcome you, or at least, Coop will review your application."
 
► 44:53 Question No. 7 | Nives: "Can you tell me anything about Miahak?" 
 
CooperO: "Well, I always call him 'Mak.' They used to call him 'Mia' but that's a girl's name, so I prefer to call him 'Mak.' He's my second-in-command, basically."
Nives: "How did he join your team, or did you join his team?"
CooperO: "Well, he was already a Forum Moderator quite some time before I joined. You'd probably have to ask him that, yourself."
Nives: "It seems that my plan to promote and boost your Admins did not play out as intended!"
 
► 47:45 Question No. 8 | Nikk: "What plans do Tanki have for the future? What can we expect in 2018? Will the game stay for long?"
 
Nives: "'Stay for long?' Jeez! So morbid, people! There are a lot of plans, you have at least seen a few of them start. I will tell you that Mobile Version still continues to be the highest priority and is quite close to finishing. It is being tested right now on Android devices and it's going to be the main focus before Matchmaking, which is still in the works as we're handling Mobile Version. The question I get a lot in PM's is, 'what about HTML5?' Well, HTML5 is live, right now, but if you are lucky enough to get HTML5, you will see that it is not quite perfect. If I was a certain Community Manager, I will always Control+F5 when I get into the HTML5 version. Our top three priorities for 2018 are: Mobile Version, then Matchmaking and HTML5 is last. Rugby Mode should be coming in January. It will be the first mode to be released, maybe there will be some more, maybe even some tournaments. I can tell you on the community side,  we expect new tournaments, new events, as Fabian already said. The new tournaments could be launched in January. We did a lot in November/December to set up Parkour Clubs Support. Today we don't have any Parkourists because Swift (@SwiftSmoky) decided not to show up today, for some reason. Maybe because they didn't invite him but we will have a lot of Parkour stuff."
 

☞ 51:07 | Tanki Awards 2017 Winners Announcement: "Parkour Club of the Year" ☜

 

Nives: "Coop, can you guess who was in ssird third place for the "Parkour Club of the Year?"
CooperO: "I'm thinking The Dutch Flyers."
Nives: "Good guess, they were fourth and they were very close, I'm a fan of them."
CooperO: "So am I, and they're from my country."
Nives: "Okay, you are giving too much information on the Livestream! At least I get paid to do this! Okay, let's be serious for a moment; in ssird third place, with 17% of all the votes, is a somewhat new Club called 'Never Give Up.' Congratulations to everyone in the Club!" In second place, Nikk..."
Nikk: "Disappointment!"
Nives: "I am looking at this diagram and see, I have two almost exactly similar pieces. One is yours, one is Swift's. Guess who is second and who is first."
Nikk: "No, I cannot! They will say I am corrupt!"
Nives: "If you were to pick between 'The Flying Parkourists' and 'Fight & Flight,' who do you think got second spot?"
CooperO: "I think 'Fight & Flight.' I think 'The Flying Parkourists' is a little more known."
Nives: "Alright, Nikk, I got bad news for you. 26% of all the votes went to 'The Flying Parkourists.' This leaves us with the first place, which you may have guessed, goes to 'Fight & Flight.' Congratulations, Swift!"
 

 

☼ Guest No. 3: Maf (aka. Maffy Duck Mafioso) | EN Wiki Administrator / EN Forum Moderator ☼

 

► 56:27 Question No. 1 | Nives: "How has 2017 been for the Wiki?"
 
Maf: "I'll start with the fact that I have only been a Wiki Administrator for about four to five months; since the end of August. The Wiki is not all that all that familiar for me, quite yet. I'll just say, my heart lies on the Forum! I've been a Forum Moderator since the end of 2014, so it's coming up to my third anniversary."
Nives: "Nice, nice, congratulations!" 
 
► 57:17 Question No. 2 | Nives: "I have heard that you write somewhat lengthy posts on the Forum. Is that true?"
 
Maf: "Oh yeah, well, that's true. There's around nearly 14,000 of them! I have massive walls of texts, everyone is free to read them. Shameless self-advertising."
Nives: "Can you share with us, how do you get so much inspiration?"
Maf: "I can just write and talk about the things I like; I can just go on and on."
 
► 58:55 Question No. 3 | Nives: "Tell me, are you the only person who works on the Wiki, or do you have others to back you up?"
 
Maf: "I have an amazing team! It's fairly small but it's nice and cozy! I would say it's a team of professionals, they are people I can trust. @Marc and @Hexed are my main colleagues."
Nives: "Marc is also the person who handles the Tanki Thinking Challenge. That's my input for the evening. Sorry for interrupting you, please proceed."
Maf: "Marc and Hexed are also both Reporters, so they're managing those two jobs. We also have a lot of help from the Russian Wiki Admin, @Impulse. I don't think anyone knows the Wiki better than him, to be honest, any Wiki, that is. We also have tobycare [@ControlledChaos]. There's also, @Goges.Enze, our Designer."
Nives: "Yeah, Goges is a very upstanding guy, who I personally recommend, myself."
 
► 1:02:37 Question No. 4 | Nives: "Speaking of the Forum, why do some people think that we should upgrade to the new Forum engine?"
 
Maf: "Good question. I've discussed that with a lot of people, my colleagues, players, et cetera. The old Forum is very nostalgic, it's very familiar, we're used to it. For the most enthusiastic Forum users, it is endearing to us. The new engine has a lot of advantages. I'm working on this forum and I realize that things such as Private Messages, moving topics, all those minor kinds of features do exist on the new Forum and it would be nice to have them. It would be a good idea to transfer our Forum to the newer engine, just as long as we don't lose everything like the Russian Forum did. I'm not sure I can survive losing all my thousands of posts!"
Nives: "See, that's the thing with migrating to a new Forum engine; I don't think we can survive what happened to the Russian Forum."
 
► 1:05:34 Question No. 5 | Nives: "If I was just a player and wanted to add stuff or edit the Wiki, where would I go, what do I do?"
 
Maf: "Aha, now that's a very good question! We, just recently, just last week, added a new feature to the Wiki, where you can "Report" any faults in a Wiki page. You just go to the top-right corner and there is an orange "Report" button and you click it, fill in the Form and send it through [more information here]. Within the next few days, or whenever we can, one of the Wiki Editors will check the Report and make any necessary changes or add it to our Tasks list. Alternatively, you can do it the old fashion way and use the Wiki Hub topic, which is in the "News and Announcements" section Forum and we will reply to you and decide whether it needs to be done."
Nives: "I am actually very impressed with the Wiki because if something comes up for my job, the first thing I open in my browser is a bookmark called 'the Wiki.'"
 
► 1:05:34 Question No. 6 | Nives: "What happens when you don't get any official stuff from the developers and people know something exists?
 
Maf: "First of all, we panic, then we break down and then we cry, that's mostly how it works! Some information is just not disclosed by developers. For example, everyone knows about the paint that Godmode_ON has, the mystery tanker who we do not know."
 

☞ 1:12:51 | Tanki Awards 2017 Winners Announcement: "Videomaker of the Year" ☜ 

 

Nives: "This was one of the most debated and contentious categories of the Awards because I know that you would like for certain Channels to be included but we wanted to award a Video Maker; a single person who is editing and shooting and everything else. That's why certain channels, such as AreaCreators were not included."
Nives: "In ssird third place, for the "Best Videomaker of 2017" is @Graphics. In second place is @shibe123, who had 13% of votes. Man, do you like one person! Man, 44% of all of the votes went to a single person - it went to @Ghost_Animators, the Best Videomaker of 2017!"
Maf: "Funnily enough, that's actually the person who currently has one of the most Tanki World Records, which is a topic in Game Discussion that I am in charge of."
Nives: "Do you remember from the top of your head any records that Ghost actually holds?"
Maf: "'Most Experience Gained in 24 hours' - he got a whopping 105,000 experience points."
Nikk: "That's more than Cedric did in one day with commands!"
Maf: "There's also 'Highest Overall K/D Ratio' where he got 5,000 kills, with 1 death. There's also 'Most Kills with no Deaths ... ever," where he got 4,000 kills with zero deaths. There's "Highest Score with no Deaths," around 5,500 EXP. 'Highest K/D ratio in a battle," 562 kills with zero deaths. This guy really doesn't like to die!"
Nives: "That's impressive!"
 
► 1:19:05 Question No. 7 | Nives: "What have you liked from Assault Mode? I hear it is the most popular Game mode of all time!"
 
Maf: "I like it, a lot, I really want to play it more when I get better internet. It's really interesting, I really like the Developers are finally adding more Game Modes and are listening to players, especially the totally new and unexpected Rugby Mode. I'm really looking forward to playing that."
 
► 1:20:28 Question No. 8 | Nives: "What are some of the most recently requested ideas for Game Modes for the Devs to implement?"
 
 
Maf: "There haven't been that many. The requested modes are very different. One that stands out a lot is the one about 'Football Mode.' Some of you may have heard about the Football Mode event around a month ago."
Nives: "No, I have not heard about that but I know that we had something called 'Tankiball.'"
Maf: "Tankiball was close to what the players had asked for but it would be interesting to have a proper football mode, like other games, not to name any names..."
Nives: "No, no, no, we do not have any partnership!"
Maf: "I think it would be interesting to have in Tanki."
Nives: "Let's see, maybe some certain Community Manager heard about Rugby Mode a few months ago. Maybe some certain Community Manager was like, 'We need to launch Tankiball as soon as we can, Fabian! As soon as we can! Because if we don't do this, Tankiball goes to another mode!'"
 
► 1:22:28 Question No. 9 | Nives: "Some people think that Railgun needs to be buffed. Have you heard about this?"
 
Maf: "We have about 1,000 posts asking for that on the Forum! When it comes to game balance, obviously Hazel [@Hazel-Rah] is the one to talk about that. However, the most popular request is to nerf Magnum. Personally, I love Magnum, I've played around 150 hours with it since it was released. It's currently my most popular turret." 
 
► 1:22:28 Question No. 10 | Nives: "Are there any other ideas you keep hearing about?"
 
Maf: "Well, there's a lot of popular ideas. The most popular idea, by far right now, which has around 400 pages of discussion is the idea to add a new "Kick" system, so that it cannot be abused. From what I understand, Developers actually do plan on introducing a kick system to Private Battles with Matchmaking. So far, there have been 92 completed ideas out of 6436 ideas suggested by players."
 

☞ 1:30:32 | Tanki Awards 2017 Winners Announcement: "Amateur Writer of the Year" ☜

 

Nives: "Do you know any writers, any Amateur Writers?"
Maf: "Well, I know the section but I don't read it, I mean it's part of the Newspaper."
Nives: "If we leave out "Best Player," this is the closest category so far. There is a difference of only 1%. The person in third place is someone who I have discussed with about my personal life, he has outed me for being a straight, white male .... it is Magenta, who got 14% of the total votes. I like him because when he interviews me, he writes about the good stuff! In second place, with 15% of total votes, is, I hope I pronounce this correctly:- @S-H-A-R-V-A-N. At the top, the sharpest, the best writer, is someone I also know personally and this is not staged. In first place is .... @Sliced!" 
 

 

☼ Guest No. 4: Lucifer (aka. Luci) | EN eSports Administrator ☼ 

 
► 1:34:49 Question No. 1 | Nives: "Do you work alone or do you have a helper, like how Fabian has Torben, like Cooper has Miahak?"
 
Lucifer: "Yes, I have someone, I have @SuperNick95, who was an ex-eSports Administrator. He is quite helpful for me, he aided me with settling into my new position."
 
► 1:35:15 Question No. 2 | Nives: "What can you tell me about what's happened to eSports in 2017 in general?"
 
Lucifer: "This was the best year that the English eSports Community has had in a long time. Before, we just had some occasional tournaments which were open to all the other communities. This year, we focused more on tournaments just for English communities. Before we could do this, we had to first settle up the Leagues, organise the Ranking Cups and after that, we filled up the first and second leagues. Unfortunately, we couldn't fill up the third league because there weren't enough participants."
 
► 1:36:25 Question No. 3 | Nives: "Do you have any plans in 2018 for Community Tournaments or anything new?"
 
Lucifer: "In @joostcool's era, we promised one thing - a tournament only for the English community. This era is the best we've had in eSports in years because we used to just have one tournament open for every single community. Meanwhile, the English/International community just wanted a tournament only for themselves. A long time ago, when Semyon Kirov was still CM, we had the Lucky 7 tournament and people wanted it to come back but I don't know if that's something we possibly can do but we are trying to do something different. Basically, we promised that we will give an English-community-only tournament. This will include the Top and Second League. The process and organisation are still under development but we are working on it. in 2018, we will hopefully have a paint only for English Community Clans."
Nives: "Nice! I hope you have someone helping you to do that."
 
► 1:39:20 Question No. 4 | Nives: "Joost personally recommended you for Admin. What can you tell me about your former superior?"
 
Lucifer: "I am very grateful to him, I have been next to him since I was a Candidate; I have worked closely with him the whole time. He is a really good person, a cheerful person, and you just like to talk with him. He's also, as I said before, he brought the English eSports Community to a whole new level. Before, we hadn't even taken our baby steps but now we are progressing by leaps and bounds! Thanks to him, we built up the basis of the English eSports Community."
 
► 1:40:26 Question No. 5 | Nives: "What did you think about Clan Championship X? Did you predict who would win this year?"
 
Lucifer: "Not really, because it wasn't easy to tell. People had seen Vavilon, who, if I'm not mistaken, had won a game against Synergy in the semi-finals but Synergy could have come back because they finally beat Vavilon in the Final. Even though I wasn't sure, I expected either one of them to win. Let's say that Synergy has a good eSports background and experience. They've been the winners of MoS, if I'm not mistaken and it's the second time they've won Champion. Congratulations to them!"
Nives: "Did you know that the English eSports fans from the community voted Synergy as the number one eSports Clan for the year?"
Lucifer: "Well, I am not surprised because Vavilon wasn't an option on the list."
Nives: "There was a lot of drama on the Forum about certain Clans not being on the list."
Lucifer: "Well, let's just say that Clans need to have a clean karma, otherwise they cannot be chosen as the best Clan. They need to be clean, their members need to be respectful and so on but let's not get into the details."
 
► 1:44:03 Question No. 6 | Nikk: "By the way, can we get on the topic of ESL?"
 
Lucifer: "First of all, before going to ESL and going back to Starladder, we need to form a good eSports community. We cannot go to them and just ask to sign a contract with them if we don't have a proper Clan System/Clan Leagues. We can't give them a mess; they won't just accept a mess; they will only accept something that is ready, then they will improve it."
Nives: "Basically, the idea is that we approach a big eSports company, like Starladder. We did some research into eSports companies but we must first present them with a strong, active eSports Community. Same goes, not only for eSports but everything. If you want to get cool events, everyone must join and play in the events."
 
► 1:46:25 Question No. 7 | Nikk: "What do you want the community to do, in order to improve eSports?"
 
Lucifer: "First of all, they need to stop arguing with each other and instead start acting like a united front. Most of the time they are just flaming, arguing and we just do not need that. Recently, I made a Discord server which was made for reuniting the eSports players together. Unfortunately, we got some non-eSports players into the server, too. Hopefully, one day, we will get people in love with eSports."
 

☞ 1:49:00 | Tanki Awards 2017 Winners Announcement: "Artist of the Year" ☜

 

Nives: "Often, this category tends to go hand-in-hand with Videomakers because we see the same nominees. In third place, with 8% of votes is , I hope I have pronounced your name correctly! In second place, with 15% of votes, is @Shadow. In first place, with 40% of total votes is @Ghost_Animators. Even though I am not allowed to, I can give you the numbers; 1,868 people voted for him - 40% of total votes. I don't know what to say, it's unbelievable!"
 

 

☞ 1:58:20 | Photoshoot with Nives ☜

 

This entire Photoshoot was basically just chaos; Sergei being pushed and shoved by everyone in the battle. Still, the Photoshoot went on, the battle was open to all ranks. The Admins provided a little inspirational speech for the Community. 
 

☞ 2:05:40 | Tanki Awards 2017 Winners Announcement: "Best Player of the Year" ☜

 

Nives: "Now, I will open the envelope with the name of the best Tanki player of the year! Let me tell you, it was a very, very close call. Literally two people decided who was first place. In third place we have @It_Is_TiMe_To_Win. In second place is ... @Wealthy! Now for the best player ... the person you voted the most is ... @Ghost_Animators! Ghost, man, I don't know what to tell you! People picked you three times for three separate categories."
 

☞ 2:10:33 | Best Helpers of the Year 2017 ☜

 

To conclude the celebrations, a slideshow with 16 of the best Helpers' usernames was played. In order, it went:
@Maf, @Ninja, @Hate, @DarkOperative, @Momma_Bear, @rommeltanki, @Hny93, @joostcool, @Winner_Of_Turkey, @Sia, @Nikk, , @Lucifer, @CooperO, @skeletorXVIII and . Congratulations!

 

If you managed to make it this far; congratulations! I sincerely hope you found this very comprehensive review both, helpful and insightful. Feel free to leave some feedback below, thanks!
