A small messaging system.

[c-o-n-q-u-e-s-t 1,918]

When you invite a friend to a game, the only thing he will see is the game info and id there is a place available, but sometimes you need to say more, because most of the times they will reject your request because they think it is a lame game or a stupid parkour game, so I think they should make it available for us to send a small message, to let them know that we need them or we have a rank up party, it doesn't have to be long, 30 or 40 letter would be awesome and we could say "Come I need help" or "My rank up" or "lets play 1-1", small messages that could really make a difference on whether to reject or accept, I hope you guys could do this, I wished so many times that I could give them a message so they would come to my rank up or a game that we are losing badly and I need there help, but they always reject it, you would say "Use Skype or Facebook" then I would say "Are you going to leave your tank and go log in Skype or FB to tell them, and they even might be offline or will just ignore it because they are in a game". So I hope that you will implement this in the near future, also I think many players agree with me :)

Already planned.

[dilsharox 2,395]

good idea

[lordmostafa 3,821]

Already planned.

 

We have updated our plans a bit (not yet updated on wiki though):

 

 

1) Fixed ban system for partner sites. Not very interesting.

 

2) MU instant upgrade price will depend on time left to finish upgrade. Yeah. You asked, we going to deliver.

 

3) Battle auto-creation, limiting time for standart battles but ridiculous 999 flag no time limit pro-ONLY-battles will be brought back. FOR FUN! And to make game a little less painfull by not making you facing long battles with drug teams all around.

 

4) New Short-range gun. Short range like Twins or Ricochet, so it is going to be an epic boom-stick.

 

5) New Medium-range gun. This will have range like Smoky or Thunder. We just thought that you would like EVEN MORE DAKKA after all this years without new guns.

 

6) A game launcher with official Tanki Online desktop icon, who would've known!

 

7) Hiding gray unavailable by rank battles. We could not figure out why we even showing them to you. Of course you will be able to see them if there is your friend playing!

 

8) Anti-power-leveling system that does not brake game for normal players. You know, I really hate Wasp-Firebird-only battles.

 

9) Special alert to explain why connection have been closed by server, for your convenience sir.

 

10) Pop-up alerts for social networks. Yeah, should do that before ever going to social networks.

 

11) And importing you social network friends to your ingame friend list! Again, might be convenient.

 

12) Improving Railgun and Isida shooting effects. We hate to hear how people call Railgun a Laser. A LASER! THIS IS NOT A LASER!!!

 

13) Night maps. Oooh yes. But we will have to cut out light sources like front lights, or it will never get into current graphics version.

 

14) Maybe dawn, fog or... you know... whatever map theme we can make by tuning color theme and skybox without going into weather effect like rain, for now.

 

15) Depended cooldowns for supplies. This is how we want to make drug game FUN and a bit more FAIR for every one. Also, drop zones will drop supplies every N sec, to make it skill based. Like Quake, yeah.

 

 

The order here does not represent the order of when this updates will make it into the game. And this list can be change anytime, so do not consider it official.

I think it is a good idea, but it is just me.

[c-o-n-q-u-e-s-t 1,918]

Thanks guys, and you Hazel?

[jokersus.cava 1,503]

I loved it!

[Opex-Rah 5,375]

Thanks guys, and you Hazel?

We are looking into making short messages based on current invite system. This way messages will be only predetermined, unfortunately.

[lordmostafa 3,821]

^Didn't get it, so it is planned? Or you guys are thinking of making it a future plan? Or what??? The sad thing is it would be predetermined, if so, I think you should make I dono some kind of a topic to ask the players what they want to be implemented, but that is just me.

[Opex-Rah 5,375]

Private chats are planned for Unity. What I am talking about is our thoughts on making short messages possible in current system.

[Superlative 500]

The idea seems promising, a small word for help or rank up party could decide the outcome of an invitation.

Sound good though.

[Manzil1234 9]

I think a private message tab must be introduced in the game. During emergency like if the player is in a match and another player wants to contact him but can't join cause of rank problem or no place then this feature might be useful. What do you think?

[I.EatMyBullets 497]

Add some chat in friend list, group chat and 2 people chat

[Maf 32,300]

Yeah. That would be very useful. Sometimes I ant to give my friends a short message with some detail when I invite them to he battle and if they can't come they will be able to tell me why. Also, it sucks when you sometimes mis-click the invitation and reject it and your friend thinks you don't want to come, while you just sit there and hopelessly wait for him to invite you again.

 

Definitely a +1 for this.

[TheWolf 34]

100% agree, it would also be very useful to have an ongoing conversation with someone without it infringing upon the main chat in a game.

 

Also very handy for clan members working together

[XXgamercool_TURBO 14]

great idea! i like to talk to my friends sometimes but they never go on main chat and are to high level for me to join their battle

[Excyte 569]

Cool,Looks pretty handy :) (Modorators this is good idea plz update xD))

[wahsan2 4]

Yes , I agree :lol:  this would be very useful  ;)

[IRAQ 16]

Nice idea !

[jokersus.cava 1,503]

An in-game personal messenger would be great.

[creeperskelly 1,281]

Right now the only options if someone invites you to a battle is accept or decline - if the choice is to "decline" it would be nice to have a small text box telling the other person why you decline.

 

For example last night a new friend kept inviting me to a battle but the problem is that the battle required a Pro Pass.

 

Since I do not have a Pro Pass I had no way to tell the friend why I could not join.

 

If there had been a small text box for input I could have said "Sorry, I have no Pro Pass" instead of the friend wondering why I didn't want to join.

[Maf 32,300]

This idea has been posted before, but yes - I totally agree.

[GG_reg 1,521]

Nice idea, I was thinking this a few days wondering if the devs would be able to do it. :)

[XXgamercool_TURBO 14]

This idea has been posted before, but yes - I totally agree.

post it again lol cause its awesome !
