event Arcade is back!

It is recommended that Pink raise funds to buy a metal detector and scan the position in the upper left corner, because I found that Pink is controversial about the direction of movement, upper left or upper right?

它要么是一个错误，要么是粉红色当前移动的单元格上有宝藏（左上角）。

一旦至少有 1 个 Metal Detection 获得资助，我可以肯定地说

一项金属探测得到了资助，也许“1 个细胞距离”不是错误。

如果不是bug那么标有红圈的单元格就是宝藏。 

如果它是一个错误，那么标有黄色的单元格就是宝藏。

 

In my opinion, this is not a bug. Treasure hunters and detectors work differently. Metal detectors are green for 2 grids, and treasure hunters are yellow for 1 grid. Therefore, the upper left is indeed the safest. Also, the color of the metal detector is difficult to identify accurately, I hope the official will pay attention.

If you are in Pink faction
Vote on Top-Left 
There is a Treasure there.

yeah seriously. Everyone who participated in the arcade owes you a giant "thank you". (purple and green team specifically). Everyone would have had the yellow/blue team experience, except even worse if you didn't make a tracker, spend tankoins scanning, and share the info with everyone. 

 

I still think the scanner is dumb. One scan should scan all the surrounding cells. Not just 1 at a time...............

Thanks

Also I agree that scanner should scan all the surrounding cells at once.
Or like even if it doesn't scan all then at least their should be an option to fund a particular cell.
Like many of the times it detected the same cell that was funded a day ago, so 2k tankoins went for nothing. And most of the days it was not required to fund every cell but we had to do it because it was random.

Event will end in 7 or 8 turns.

According to forum topic event ends on 15th but according to the event website it ends on 16th.

Not sure which one is correct.

Is it worth switching teams? Im in the best team (lazurite) and i am a collector so even if im not using these augments i still want them.

[soviet.reunion 76]

Please restart this event. The website didn't work so many times... there have been days where I made nearly a thousand stars but they didn't  get counted because the website wasn't working so I couldn't vote... only for it to start working after I went to sleep... and count the votes of some clueless clowns.

As far as I know there is no way to tell in advance which faction owns which treasures, therefore I think it is not reasonable to switch. In fact even if we knew that, the faction redistributor is random, so you could end up spending much more than you at first intended.

This guy is definitely using the forum to advertise his YouTube channel and videos.... he even added his logo on the the picture. 

 

He is most certainly not doing all of this just to help the players...

 

 

And since advertising YouTube channel is against the rules he definitely needs to be banned and removed as a TO YouTube.

Bro chose violence :DDD. 

Trust me(If you didnt notice it yourself how mindlessly some chose in which direction to go, even when treasure locations are known) if none did what he did,, collect all information about treasures, we would have collected much less.

He posts these Arcade updates in a proper topic and they are very informative and helpful, therefore there is no issue with it.

Come on man... the video for faction change was less than 2 minutes and barely 1 minute was used to say something I could have read in 10 seconds... the rest of the video was promoting his channel and asking for support and asking for subscribers... not to mention the 2 ads I had to watch to watch his video. There was also nothing in his video that actually need to be made into a video to show... everything could have just been written directly in the forum. 

 

I suppose you could say that it can still be helpful but he is unnecessarily wasting people's time so he can get views.

thats every smart youtuber tho. If you don't want to watch his videos its ok. Last time i watched TO youtubers was when the Goat himself TheMrGamerMD had YT so a lot of years ago. His content was something more than gold box and containers. IDK what Ghost uploads and i don't care. He saw the opportunity for easy views and he went for it. You can just skip his videos and only look at the .JPEG he posted and its enough for arcade. 
EDIT: also im 100% sure his fans love watching him go in detail about this stuff (if thats what he does). for example i watch a youtuber who makes a single Twitter post from game developer into 5-10 minute video but all of these 5-10 minutes are entertaining AF because he knows what he's talking about and makes it fun to listen/watch. (even tho i am already an expert in that game) Thats the job of a youtuber and if thats what ghost doing then im cool.

Giving extra days doesn't solve the problem at all as there have been many turns where I couldn't vote due to problems when I was able to play but other people were able to vote afterwards. This makes the whole event and the results just outright unfair. 

Your teammates were voting randomly/incorrectly because they didn't know where to find the information on where to vote correctly (aka ghost). I see no issue with getting his channel out to spread awareness and make the event more fun for *everyone*

Let me know when you become a dev and get the power to overide the rules... until then your opinion about whether or not someone breaking the rules is an issue wont mean anything.

I've added the watermark to Voting Guide, in case if other RU youtubers decided to show it in their streams or something like that. Then having a watermark can tell a viewer from where the image came from.

This is not my main channel. I only have only few hundred subscribers here.

My main channel is Ghost Animator TO, where I have 62k subscribers and get way more views.
If my goal was to get views, then I would have posted these event videos on that channel.

I posted both the image and the video.

Image was the only thing required to understand the guide and it is not required to watch the video (like @Kimura mentioned).

Video is just for people who wanted to know how I found the treasure location or if it's even legit or not.

Before making a video on faction change, I was already writing the faction change details in the description of previous videos that I was uploading daily.
Still very few people read the description so it was important to make a video on it during the end days of event.

There is crucial info in the video that is not even mentioned in the forum topic, like the cost of "Change Character" bundle keeps on increasing every time you buy it. Or that you can only buy it once per day. In forum topic, it was not even mentioned properly that the bundle changes your faction randomly.

Even if you have not found the "Should you change your faction" part important. There were many people who watched the video just for that. Not everyone is active enough in the Event to understand all the things. So it was important to explain even basic things, which might not be that useful to people who are actively taking part in the event.

Very less people come on forum. Only approx 6-7% of the views I'm getting on the video are from Forum (this data is available in yt analytics).
I made the video for people who are solely watching my channel for Arcade related updates.

Since video also included info that was not even mentioned in forum topic, I decided to post it here as well.

 

On 1/10/2023 at 6:29 PM, soviet.reunion said:

As for ads, that channel is not monetized. But YouTube plays ads on every videos these days. Just letting you know that I'm not earning any revenue from YouTube on this video or any of the other arcade related vids I uploaded on that channel so far.

On the other hand my main channel is monetized and has 62k subs (77 times more than 2.0 channel).

So if it was for money, I would have uploaded it on my main channel and I would have even received money from yt ads.
Videos themselves would have also received way more views as well.

---------------

To put it simply, when the event was announced, I found it interesting.
I haven't participated in event like these from years, but this time I wanted to take part.
I didn't upload these videos on my main channel because people have subscribed to it for different kind of tanki online content.
That's why I decided to upload them on my second channel, where I usually just post miscellaneous stuff.

I hope this clears any misunderstanding you had.

That picture is literally just a screenshot of the bundle... even if someone did want to use the screenshot you took instead of just taking the screenshot themselves... why would it matter? Its not like you designed the graphics of that bundle. 

 

And what about the part where you used a good portion of your videos to teach players to use your creator tag? You claim that your videos are to help players but it's clearly more about getting participants of this event to support your main channel. That's exactly why you needed us to click your video to see how to support you and your main channel instead of just copying and pasting the details for faction change from your video descriptions Into the forum. 

 

Anyone with a brain can see your little game here... including the part where you're trying to start a futile discussion with me about your clear rule breaking that is off topic so that the mods will remove our posts

If you are from Blue team, then vote on the "Top" cell. You can share this image with your faction members so they vote correctly.

It will take 5 turns for Blue to reach and dig the treasure.

According to the forum post, event ends in 4 turns. If that is the case, game is already completed for Blue as they can't collect the last treasure :x

But as per the Event Website rules, event ends in 5 turns. If that's the case, then Blue still have chance to get the Treasure but only if they vote correctly in every turn.

I hope the event ends in 5 turns and not 4.
