Part of it (sort DM/TDM/CTF/CP is completed, the other part - filtering by map, name, etc. will probably come with the common battle list, which is planned.

*Planned, but not soon.

Thank you for this list, a lot of stuff that I didn't know... Are all these suggestions from the feedback site?

Yes, in fact players can already see all of them just by visiting the Feedback site, I don't know why he quoted all of them here.

2.0 was cancelled

[Meliora 1,652]

That was when Feedback was used.

I believe Semyon is managing the feedback everyday now, it should be more active than it was.

Yes he is and yes it is.

*PLANNED, but not soon.

Tanki has more than one dev team. There are different teams for UI, Bug management, new content, and visual upgrades. The new content one is obviously currently working on microgrades where as work was started on another tank. As that work has been halted, not cancelled, it is still work in progress. Please check your sources.

This will reduce the amount of people that keep making repeat threads for features that are already planned or rejected. As most of such people only stay on the forum or the game. Also not many people know about the feedback site. I'll link it at the top.

 

P.S. @FederalBureauFBI can you please remove the caps from your post?

• Fixing Railgun hitbox detection - Planned.
  

wa doesda mean

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

 

wa doesda mean

 

At the moment a tank's hitbox (the area when shot registers damage) is slightly larger than the tank itself for Railgun. So the laser looks like it missed and just clipped the enemy but it actually hits it.

The bug is not as bad at the moment as it was a while ago.

[Lhamster 4,081]

^Yeah, that is really annoying sometimes.

Fixing Railgun hitbox detection - please someone can elaborate on this

Good thing, fixing the railgun hitbox detection; It's a bit stupid... if a rail shoots you when you're already behind a wall.

Aw, I like the excessive hitbox size for Rail ^_^

This is different from that. What you are experiencing is just internet lag.

 

This on the other hand is more noticeable by the person using Railgun. Try hitting a hornet just at the edge of the hitbox. It will hit it while looking like it missed.

Okay, very interesting, I'll try that out. ;)

The new content one is obviously currently working on microgrades where as work was started on another tank. As that work has been halted, not cancelled, it is still work in progress. Please check your sources.

Our sources are the Devs, no one else. Three weeks ago they opened a special topic on the Russian Forum to let players ask many, many questions and they answered all of them. Some players asked if new weapons/tanks will be implemented soon and they said "probably not during this year, they are working on many things (all listed in the Plans section).

Really sorry if I offended you by trying to offend FBI. heh.

 

Work in progress doesn't mean something is coming out tomorrow. Work was in progress on the graphics update for well over a year before it was released. But there is difference in being planned and being worked on. I'll "define" the terminology in the OP.

No offence, no worries ;)

I know the difference between those two words, but believe me, they are planning weapons/hulls, not working on them. So what FBI said with "Planned" is completely correct at the moment. If they were working on it they would have added it in the Plans section.

I have changed it for now. Also, the homepage is hard to update and hence is only updated after major updates. Keep that in mind.

 

Glad to know some people still have their sense of humour with them!

I see, and again, here comes Barba's post, but since I forgot to multiquote it, I'll say it myself - the current info (from Devs, the topic Barba mentioned and the weekly Russian videoblogs) says that new guns and tanks are planned, but won't come soon because at the moment they hav emuch more important stuff to do. Logically, this means at the moment they aren't doing anything with new guns/tanks, which means they aren't 'in progress', but 'planned'.

 

P.S. @FederalBureauFBI can you please remove the caps from your post?

Well you asked politely, so I don't see any problem.

Yep, that's the most important!

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

its already resolved why the long justification. sheesh...

 

Edit: seriously there wasn't any need to requote the entire discussing between barba and me

 

go and have fun, play a couple of games, watch a movie and grab a cup of coffee

 

Sorry if double post, the phone forum gets glitchy.

Good night :)
