Who is talking in the vlog?

It says at the end of the vlog.  :P

Actually, that's not true. Alex lived for many years in the US. That's how he got his accent.

You're right, I misspoke, he didn't learn a different accent just to do vlogs. But I'm pretty sure having a different accent has helped him have this job in Tanki, and I think that's because our biases.

 

I have nothing against Alex, I'm just saying that Kasim or anyone shouldn't have to think about his accent.

 

And this accent thing is more important than Overdrives and the perils that come with it for sure. Kidding.

I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE accents. The thicker the accent, the more exotic it is to me.

I dunno who it was doing the voiceover of today's vlog. 

You hear it and think of Kasim.

 

I hear it and think of Mr Trololo:

I don't understand why Alex Lynch is trying to have a different accent. I like it best when he speaks perfect English with this posh English gentleman like style.

 

 

I am so thrilled to hear to good news about the new overdrives. The new overdrives will very soon have an open testing on the live servers for some time so that players can test them out, so that it also allows developers to see how well the overdrives work. Any bugs that will be found during the open testing phase will be fixed. That's so good to hear about the open testing phase of the new overdrives. That means that it won't be long until the official release.

 

By the way, how long will it take for the new overdrives to be officially released?

Alex Lynch didn't voice this V-Log, someone else did hence the different accent.

The Deves said the release is just around the corner. So I'd assume within the next few weeks OD's will be in the game if everything goes well. 

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Ah that's great. I am so glad that the overdrives will be in the game in the next few week, maybe in 1 month's time.

 

It is now 2 years since the first V-Log announcement about the new overdrives. Goodness me. The overdrives took twice as long to develop than the matchmaking system. I can't believe how long it took to develop them.

Am I the only person that doesn’t want these new over drives

[lssimo 1,559]

What if the new Overdrives are given only to Legends in MM battles that Legends only play against other Legends?

 

Am I the only person that doesn’t want these new over drives

No, you're not alone, most players don't want the new overdrives, for obvious reasons. Those that want overdrives are mostly legends, likely because many of them have many hulls.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Am I the only person that doesn’t want these new over drives

My guess is there are probably only a handful of players that actually want these overdrives.  But, I would also guess many many players are curious about them and look forward to trying them out.  Unfortunately, once they are implemented we are stuck with them and all the endless re-balances Tanki will institute for them.  This is like matchmaking but a tad less dramatic...almost no one will like the ODs as soon as the novelty wears off.  They promise to usher in an even more chaotic, luck oriented, style of game play.  

 

These new OverDrives are likely to be the second worst update in Tanki's long long line of game devolving, trash updates.

I have feedback about an issue with the new overdrives from the test server - not sure where to post it so I will do so in here in the hope that it will be seen.

Magnum's alt Reinforced Gun Carriage is somewhat useless with Viking overdrive, Viking overdrive sets the shot power to 100% but the alteration sets the angle to 5 degrees by default, unlike regular magnum which can set the angle to 1 or 2 degrees to make it useful, and with reduced "projectile gravitation" combined with that the shots go off into space in most situations and get totally wasted. It is only possible to sometimes hit targets on higher elevation if you are very lucky, mostly the shots will be wasted.

To solve this, for this alteration the overdrive needs to fire the shots with 0% or maybe 10% power each shot. Thanks.

Weird voice 

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Thank you so much for explain thoroughly on how the overdrives work. In the next V-Log (V-Log 206), please explain to us on what date will the overdrives be released.

 

Alex Lynch has such a beautiful and clear voice. He speaks perfect English like an Aristocrat Englishman. His voice is just perfect for voicing V-Logs. I hope that Alex Lynch will be back for good next week.

So many mults in battles it is just pathetic.   My Brigadier account playing with Field Marshals coming in bottom of team at 1-11... it's shameful.

 

Every battle I've played tonight been short at least 1 tank because of inactive players.

I hope that the open testing for the new overdrives have gone well. Please can you make sure that developers discuss about the outcome of the new overdrives open testing in the next V-Log (V-Log 206), so that players know how well the open testing on the new overdrives went before the official release.

 

It is extremely important that you broadcast this new outcome for the new overdrives open testing in the next V-Log.

 

Thank you.

You mean one of the worst updates? First one was splitting paints and relasing billions of module combinations, at least they split those.

2nd, removal of 1500 drug kit from the shop and nerfing health kit, which is pretty much useless now. Third, is shot color and removal of turret's modification color, i liked it when m0 rail used to have blue/white beam and m3 had orange, players could distinguish from modifications. 

 

Now overdrives, this is going to be interesting when when it's going to be relased.

I'd call that more of an annoyance to many players rather than a bad update, because at least it hasn't caused any further imbalance in battles.
