Open testing of the Friends System

[semyonkirov 29,038]

Update: open testing of the Friends System is on again.
We've made some changes to the interface.
• Now you can use search in the list of your friends and requests.
• Also we've changed the place where the Friends button is.

Dear players!
Today for the first time the team of developers would like to present to you the Friends System in Tanki Online. You can try it on two test severs which are available at http://test2.tankionline.com Please remember that test severs have limited capacity so if you can’t enter it just try again later. Servers may be restarted or stopped if there are any issues that need to be fixed.

At the moment the system supports the following functions:
• The user context menu that is displayed in any part of the interface by left-clicking on the player’s nickname.
• Ability to add a player to your friends, as well as remove him or her using the context menu.
• Friends button on the upper panel that opens the Friends menu.
• Ability to view the current status of friends as well as links to battles where they are playing.
• Ability to join a battle where your friend is playing from the Friends menu.
• Indicator in the list of battles that shows how many of your friends are in a battle.
• Nickname of a player is highlighted if he or she is in your list of friends.
• Indicator on the Friends button showing how many incoming requests you have.

Please note that in order to add a player to friends he or she needs to confirm your request. As long as the request is not approved it can be found in the menu of friends in a tab called Sent requests. You don’t need a confirmation when removing players from friends. Also, if you’ve removed a player from the list of friends, you will be automatically removed from his or her list as well.

Some information for those who love to talk in chat. In order to highlight all the messages of a player in chat or insert his name into the chat input line you need to choose Write in chat in the context menu or left-click on his or her name while holding Ctrl.

This topic was made for you to share your impressions regarding the upcoming update.

——————————————————————————

Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions:

Q: What if my friend is on another server?
A: You can find your friend using Friends menu. If he or she is in a battle, then you can easily go to necessary server and battle using a link.

Q: Can I communicate with my friends using private messages?
A: Not yet, but this feature is planned in the new client.

Q: Will I have to send all the requests again if I changed my nickname?
A: No, you won't have to do such a thing. All you friends will still be in your Friends list, your nickname will be updated automatically.

Q: If I'm playing in a private battle, will my friends be able to find me?
A: Private battles are used in cybersport and for important events that's why you will be invisible for your friends in such battles.

May I know why?

[Frost.Angel 221]

Its epic :o cant wait this to be in real server ^_^

[delnina2 1,570]

I dont like it ... Now Hunters (players that hunt others players) will find the "Victims" . so maybe a lot of players will quit ...

[Frost.Angel 221]

^ But players must accept if they want that person to be in their friend list

 

So they will simply not accept

You can not do this kind of stuff. Friends can only be mutual!

Here, it answer your problem, you can approve or reject the request. And if a "friend" become suspicious of victimizing you, you can delete that friend.

 

Please note that in order to add a player to friends he or she needs to confirm your request. As long as the request is not approved it can be found in the menu of friends in a tab called Sent requests. You don’t need a confirmation when removing players from friends. Also, if you’ve removed a player from the list of friends, you will be automatically removed from his or her list as well.
