Declined The Player that Dropped Mines, when he Dies, Mines are Returned to Him

[RIDDLER_8 5,558]

I have once suggested that it was very annoying to have mines disappear when players who dropped them die.

 

My previous topic on mines was declined, so this time, I shall amend my idea a little to make it more suitable for the gameplay of Tanki Online and also with the balancing of the game.

 

I really hate to see players drop mines and then the mines disappear when they die. I have some up with a concept that is very simple.

 

When the player who dropped the mine dies when the mine has not been stepped on, then the mine that this player dropped must be removed from the ground and returned to the player again. This new suggestion of mine about mines would greatly reduce the annoying waste of mines.

 

Please tell me what you think about my new idea about mines and help me improve this topic if I mentioned something wrong.

 

Thank you.

Sorry, but mines will stay as they are. The way supplies work is that once you activate it, that's it - it's spent. This applies to all other supplies as well. If you use double damage, double armour or repair kit and then get instantly killed by a Magnum a second later, no one will give the supplies back to you just because you didn't get a chance to use them. Same applies to mines.

 

In fact, it's not fair to give you back mines because they don't actually need to explode to be useful - enemy players can notice your mines in the way and either slow down to get around them or find a different way to go. Either way it doesn't make sense to give you back a supply if you already used it. And even in terms of logic - how can mines just teleport back to the player after he dies (but I won't get into that too much because it also doesn't make sense to have thousands of supplies on you in the first place).

Nah, I wouldn't be able to actually become low on mines and earn the achievements then. :3

this was suggested before 

then what about other supplies? players would start abusing this then

Do you think it would be good to have a new type of mine in Tanki Online that follows enemy tanks and explode straight in them?

No. That's a feature exclusive to Tanki X, and I think it's best to keep it that way. No need to mix the two games and bring features from one to the other.

I wish we could get our mines back, but sadly once they're used, they become unusable, since mines aren't really recyclable. :ph34r:
