Self-destruction ideas

[Yisroel.Rabin 16,224]

• Another thought, there should be a button to cancel a self-destruction. For example, let's say you started self-destructing when a team-mate flipped you back on your tracks. There should be a button to cancel the explosion.

 

• And last but not least. You shouldn't get a punishment of on kill lost when being flipped. In other words, if you self-destruct while on your tracks or with a Thunder or Ricochet, you should loose one kill. But if you were on your back, you would just die without loosing a kill.

1. If it was shorter then 10 seconds in a DM most players would just SD before another player kills them, which would make DM's very long and boring.

 

2. That would be helpful, can't tell you how many times I have accidently hit Delete or pressed it because I thought I was going to flip but didn't. Maybe to cancel a SD press Backspace?

 

3. I agree with that, especially if a teammate flips you by accident.

1. DMs are time limited, they won't be any longer :huh:. But maybe turn this off in PRO-Battles.

 

2. Agree.

 

3. Also Agree.

if a person presses delete again the self destruct stops

1. The 10 second delay is a punishment for flipping over or allowing your opponent to flip you over. if YOU flip someone else over, then you get a reward in the form of 10 seconds during which their team will have 1 less player.

 

2. This has been suggested before and the developers are refusing to add it for some reason...

 

3. Agreed.

Removed 1st section. Noticed it wouldn't work. :)

 

Thanks for feedback.

Someone has to be critical so I'm going to point out some of the bad

 

1. There could be this mult who flips himself over intentionally and self destructs then cancels repeatedly just to troll but still a good idea

 

2. There could be people who are low on health so they flip themselves over then self destruct so they don't get the penalty instead of using a repair kit

 

These things are unlikely to happen but it's possible

I'd like for Tanki to put it out as an experiment, I want to see if people would to it or not. I don't think people would though.

Deleting SD is not a good idea......

Do you mean canceling a self-destruction? Why?

Well, its more of a matter of opinion for me. You see, if you press the self-destruct button, then you plan on SD no matter what. That's just what it is. Also, so many players could abuse this system. This could be abused in clan wars, XP battles, etc. plus if there's lag, a player whose turned over might accidentally cancel the SD and wait more than 10 seconds etc. Don't get me wrong I love the idea. It's just I don't think it would be that good for the game :)

I made a topic about this before, and multiple people did as well, tanki just ignored those requests. But I do support the ability to cancel the SD. Its stupid that a teammate wastes time and leaves a team a player short because most of the time a player already enables SD. Once they are back on their tracks they explode. That has happened so many times, and its mostly with short ranged weapons that have no recoil.

Okay, the one thing you got wrong was that someone might by mistake cancel the self-destruction, thus making him wait another 10 seconds. This can happen with anything, I can see a player by mistake started to self-destruct, now he has a choice to stop it.
