The Planned Change of Switching Your Gun in Battle

[RManJeta 2]

I just got on tanki again after being silent for like 1 or 2 years and i look at the indev section and i see that later were going to be able to switch our guns in battle, but wouldn't that ruin the purpose of paints that give you protection? I think there should be a crystal fee of changing your gun in battle or something  :unsure:

Not a bad idea. I didn't know they were going to implement that. O_o

No, you were here less than a year ago.

[QQQ1020 3]

you should be able to switch weapons maybe not paints or hulls. It should be free when you die like in most FPS games

[HeroPlayer 797]

I have almost all M2 so I could change to everything haha.

[r_Retroactive0 22]

No, it should be free to change your turret during battle but I think you should have to wait a certain amount of time before you can rejoin the battle, kind of like how a race car driver has to wait for there pit crew to change the wheels of the vehicle or refuel it. You would wait for your "tank crew" to put on the new turret, like 45 seconds for m0, 40 for m1, 30 for m2 and 15 for m3.

This shouldn't be happening, It's frustrating when people see you using Smoky, and they'll bring Savanna in the game.

It's just an example; it already happens sometimes in the beginning of the battle.

 

They should definitely pay a small sum of crystals, if they changed their combination and want to return to the same battle.

Anyway; ideas on feedback.

 

I really like this idea.

This should be an update. However I think the player's score should go down to 0 when re-entering (to make it fair).

It is frustrating when you leave the battle to switch weapons and then someone takes your place.  -_-

Shouldn't it be less seconds for lower upgrades?

I really think they should have a crystal fee too and i don't know if the tanki staff said you can switch paints in battle.

I think that you should be able to leave and come back in order to buy more drugs or upgrade your current weapons. also, maybe if u rank up during the battle, a window will appear allowing you to buy and equip a new hull, turret or paint that is newly available and quickly switch without leaving the game or losing your score

[joostcool 5,942]

Before they removed the 'bug', (I am not even sure if it is a bug) where you were able to change weapon/hull/paint and even buy drugs by going to another server and coming back with the combi you needed, (wait... don't tell me I just offended rule 1.11....) everything went well, we were all used to it and I think I am still not used to that we can't change now, because I'll lose my place in that battle. I think paying crystals is not neccesary, because I think it will be alright like it was before.

 

(Actually it would be nice if someone could give some feedback on my English since that was a pretty hard sentence)

[HeroPlayer 797]

Just let them pay crystals, wait some time for changing the turret ingame.

[meronnatu 151]

;)  I like this idea...

 

but why did they remove it b4? is there any reasons? 

[HeroPlayer 797]

It never was...

[Ilia.ArchangeI 6,785]

I liked this idea, but to be honest some of the posts above are right. Changing weapons in battle defeats the point of paints, and battles will just become a vicious cycle of people endlessly changing their equipment to have an edge over their opponents.

You contradict yourself. The whole point of the idea is to make it possible to change combo without losing score.

Same here, I wondered why too. I hated loosing score when changing weapon and rejoin.

[FederalBureauFBI 2,881]

The old way wasn't an official option, more of a glitch. They removed it with the new server platform.

No, Update 123.

Anyway, I think they should bring it back, but you should only be able to change once in the whole battle, if you want to change twice then you'll have to lose your points and possibly your space. The 'con' about having to pay is that the price may be more than you can gain in the whole battle meaning you'd make a loss.

[FederalBureauFBI 2,881]

Okay Englishgirl, let me try again.

The bug was corrected AFTER the new platform came.

This maybe a really good idea because it would make the game more strategic and make you think what gun or hull do you need to use at certain points like hornet or wasp if someone took your flag.

Also, I think the price should be around 100 crystals or something like that but BTW your idea is excellent.

She should change her name to that!

[cheap_plastic_flower 154]

On a scale of 1 to 10 ... hmmmmmm.  I would rate this change or supposed update a ZERO !!!  Get it ??

 

PROS: 

NONE

 

 

CONS:  

There are just not enough letters in the alphabet to describe this insanity.

 

 

Often times the outcome of a battle involves just ONE FLAG.  That ONE FLAG can make the difference between a "lot of crystals", "some crystals", or "no crystals".  If you haven't noticed, TIME is very important in a battle. People that have spent a lot of time and effort in a battle will see the battle lost because someone thought they knew the BEST STRATEGY and TOOK THE TIME to change their Combo.  This is just ONE reason. 

 

 

Everyone seems to think that changing a Combo will be QUICK and EASY.  Need I remind you of lags, disconnects, indecisive players, and the occasional SNAFU that befalls every Tanki user.  Tanki has done a great job fixing the problems as they appear, but it "ain't a perfect world" and STUFF HAPPENS.

 

 

This a NEWBIE IDEA conceived for NEWBIES.  Let them have it, but please do one thing. Put a check box in the Create a Battle Section that identifies the game as a CHANGE YOUR COMBO ALLOWED type or something akin to it.  I personally think the check box should be labeled, "If you think watching Big Clowns in Little Cars is funny, you are going to love this one !!!" .

 

 

Fini.
