Small symbols for easy communication?

[Moreuz 67]

Hi!

 

I thought of an idea today so people can communicate easy and fast during a battle despite that they don't know the same language.

 

There could be a number of small images/symbols, with different useful meanings and you press a specific button for each one, like the numbers. Tanki could show an explanation for each one of them on one of those pictures you see when you load into a battle.

 

There could be small drawings, easy to understand, and they show up in the battlechat.

 

For example, commands could be "attack" (drawing showing 3 small tanks and an arrow), "defend", "follow me", "heal me/support me", "take cover/danger" and "move, you're in the way!" <----------------Very important.... :wacko:

 

All these simple commands could be easily showed through simple drawings using tanks and arrows and other simple things.

 

You should be able to use TAB, then click on someone's name, and then this name shows up automaticly in the battlechat (so you won't have to spell it), and after it a specific picture can show up if you only want to communicate with a specific player. For the player adressed, he can see his personal message in a different color.

 

I think this would make many people communicate during matches and therefore, playing will be more tactical and fun! ;)

Sound reasonable, typing takes too long in some situations.

Just pointing out, when you press Tab and click on someone's name, the name is automatically copied to your clipboard and all it needs is a simple Ctrl+V (in Windows at least) to paste it whilst using battle chat.
