v-log Episode 300 of the V-LOG!

[lssimo 1,559]

Random developer: There are fewer and fewer players in the game, should we balance the game?

Hazel: Nnno. That would be the logical thing to do, anyone can do logical things, you can do logical things... I do the opposite of the logical, that's why I'm the boss. Make it less balanced and see the magic work.

Random developer: Mmmk.

I'm wondering why this and other v=logs are now being changed . we saw parts of this in last week - but when you go and check it out its no longer in that v-log.

also the question of the week was last weeks . did they not say there would be no v-log this week?

and finally the changes to the missions star event is not cool.

Correct, his name is Semyon Strizhak and his in-game username is Opex-Rah.

Now if you look at the word ‘opex’ as using Cyrillic letters (Russian alphabet), then it translates to ‘nut’. Yes, that’s right, ‘opex’ is the Russian for ‘nut’ 

Hazel is another nickname of his and I assume that’s it’s related to the whole ‘nut’ theme. So all in all, he must really like nuts or something.

By the way, it’s funny because in the Russian developer videos where he answers questions, in the comments the questions are asked like this, “вопрос Ореху”, translating to “question for the Nut”

Hazel-Rah is the name of a character in the novel Watership Down. “Hazel” translates to «орех» in Russian, and “Opex-Rah” is his in-game nickname.

@ThirdOnion 

Although it's given to another character in the novel, "Prince with a thousand enemies" seems appropriate for Hazel

Thanks for that.

Still, the whole nut theme is hilarious...

You ever seen those textbooks the devs have that their programmers and game designers use, that can occasionally be seen in the Vlogs?

Hazel sure learnt how to balance a video game from those, he’s perfected the science

What do you mean?

@Issimo

I think he means that the texture models for skins follows the Dilbert law.

The Dilbert comic strip in newspapers.  Pretty much everything Dilbert's boss does.

Thanks for the answer, I was not sure what you meant. I had never put attention to that comic strip so I had no idea.

So after your answer I did some research and noticed that the Dilbert comic strips use a style close to what I did with the Random Developer and Hazel, so I though that maybe you meant that style when you said "model".

But I guess most comics are like that, I'm not sure.

So I continued researching and I found the Dilbert Principle, and I thought that was what you meant by model. But I'm not saying Hazel is like Dilbert's boss, so the strip I made is not accurate in that way.

By continuing with the wild goose chase I also found the article How Scott Adams Got Hypnotized by Trump. (Scott Adams the writer of Dilbert.) Interesting stuff there, and I agree with part of that article, I think Scott Adams is an attention seeker.

But when I thought that was the end of the wild goose chase, with good results, Riddler_8 replied.

The problem is that I don't know what to do with it. Texture models for Skins?! Is there a thing called The Dilbert Law?!

How to research this? Do I need to time travel? I don't want to break the Internet.

Very funny.

Model / style... could be interchangeable.

Basically the Boss advocates for the opposite of what should be done.  This is what TO is doing.

In what way? Could you explain further...

The devs think they can sacrifice the current playerbase for one which is primarily comprised of kids on mobile devices who will fall for their ridiculously overpriced offers.

Basically a big F you to the veteran players of this game.

Today is the last day of discussions here. I hope that tomorrows V-Log 301 shall reveal the release date of the Tesla turret. Since Tesla's first announcement last year, developers have spent a whole year making this turret which is a good thing so that we have a perfect Tesla turret as well as no bugs on the release date. The testing is over and now it is time to announce Tesla's release date right after the end of the 12th birthday celebration for Tanki Online.

Hope they are gonna give us option to hide player stats ( hours played and experince earned with turret,hull..) I am sick of the players who got 40k scores per hour, beacause they play with juggernaut and they instantly rage quit when they get killed.

Here is example of noob rtl juggernaut player:
