New option at creating battle or change rules!

[joostcool 5,942]

I am a fan of playing the so-called XPbattles. For those who don't know what this is, that are battles where only hornet/railgun is allowed. You can mainly find these battles on server 1. Most of the times in sandbox, no-supplies and often the name 'xp-k'. These are great battles with Russians, it all goes perfectly polite, we wait for full teams are playing for the skills and fun, fund does not really matter at all. 9 on the 10 times this all works perfectly and you have a great battle, but sadly 1 on the 10 times a player has a wrong combi or doesn't wait for full teams and just plays. Sometimes they leave after you've asked them, but sometimes he doesn't understand anything or just stays to bully us. The last point is what I want to talk about. Today in a xpbattle in sandbox we were playing until someone had to leave. It was 5-5 on 8 flags, very hard but exciting battle. Instead of a hornet/railgun a Viking/smoky joined with savanna which has protection against railgun. We asked him kindly to leave and take hornet/railgun. He didn't, he was attempting to kill us. We started to kill him, he had no chance against 4 railguns while enemy team did nothing except for him. Almost always the player leaves, but this time he stayed and was even chatting with us while he tried to kill us. He wasn't leaving but kept killing us, while we killed him constantly. He was really bullying us. We decided to use /vote and guess what: a Russian mod came soon in spectator mode. But he couldn't do anything because that dude didn't offend any rule at all. the mod tried to talk with him, but he didn't leave. So the mod couldn't do anything and left while this dude was ruining our game. And he kept on killing. Now someone of my team left and someone else joined and made use of the /vote. Now the mod came back threatening to ban us for false reports while this dude was ruining the game. I am not going to let down the mod because there is no rule on it to ban that dude, but I just explained you that this shouldn't be happening. That's why I suggest an option for hornet/rail gun so only that combination can join the battle, there is no way to abuse it at all. If that is impossible I would like an edit on the rules that if a battle is named after certain weapons or hulls that moderators are allowed to ban the people who don't meet that requirements.

Written on my mobile phone, so there might be some mistakes, and I will post this on feedback, but I would like to have your opinion about it :)

had another idea which goes quite a bit along with mine, so I'll it here since the most people only read the first and the last post of a topic.

 

What if there was a way to better control the start of the battle?  Maybe have it where every player must enter a command to say that they're ready. Once every player has signaled, everyone re spawns and the battle begins. Again, not only for XP, this could be good for almost any battle. Especially NSB, like for clan wars. And there would be no argument over someone not being at their perspective base. That solves two potential problems. Think I might be takin' this to feedback.

I'm pretty sure an idea like allowing specific guns and hulls in a battle, have been suggested before.

But yes, I really like this idea.  ^_^

Agree, there should come a hull/turret/paint filter when creating battle. Or people should get kicked when they don't have the combo or paint from the title.

[r_I_aLways_Win0 10]

Agree

[GeneralPie 603]

Agreed.

[abraarkhan786 15]

Agreed.

[r_The-Player20 313]

This will make sure that every battle has ZERO freezes! Wooooo!

[abraarkhan786 15]

Dont think so.

[r_PlayerHero0 16]

No freezes yay!

[r_The-Player20 313]

Yay!

[Rocael 102]

No annoying freezez!!! I think some like that, a option to allowed in battle certain guns and hulls, like only wasp and fire, only rail and fire etc...

[canadarules 1,938]

Sorry but i can't see this happening. First off if there is elimination of weapons it will be unfair and many will quit since people will eliminate certain guns and hulls such as mammoth and freeze or shaft even since they like hornet mainly. Plus this is not a good idea since the game will become lame and there will be no competition. eliminate freeze flags easy to get. eliminate shaft flags easy to get. you are basically trying to promote power leveling. most would also have only one gun thats good and all the rest bad not fair no way this suggestion goes through! They would have done it already if they wanted to.

So true. I was in a battle, it was called "Wasp and Firebird Only". It was a battle in Combe. An Isida and Viking player came and ruined our game which he/she refused to leave.

@ joostcool

 

I already tried that... I also tried but no one listen. I dont play anymore becouse rules are so stupid and obsolete. But, I wish you good luck and you got my vote.

 

 

 

p.s. Now I cant find post where they PROMISED that options for guns/huls but they promised a lot and nothing is done so far...  <_<

I think you shouldnt see it as an elimination. More like check 1 weapon and 1 hull. Very boring for a normal game in silence, but that would be perfect for hornet/railgun battles. I agree that we will kill weapons if we allow all weapons except that one. But if you think further maybe tanki can implement the formats in there. So if you want to play light, you check that and only the allowed weapons and hulls for light Can join that battle. This isn't killing the game since you would do exactly the sane but less official and with a chance your game gets ruined.

[Mr.SV.ENS 738]

Why you guys didn't leave and just created a new battle?

[joostcool 5,942]

Because this battle was great, 5-5 same chances, there was already a fund of more then 1000 so, if we would have left, the gameruiner would get all the fund... then he realizes this works and he goes into another and keeps doing that.

[Ilia.ArchangeI 6,785]

Cool idea, but what would be more practical is selecting a format as those created for clan matches - Hard, Medium and Light, and only allow the weapons for whichever is selected. Would be cool.

+ it's planned after the new client comes

[DeoxyriboNudeicAcicl 97]

Here is an idea that you guys could consider. There always must be at least 1 of each weapon and 3 of each hull OR a battle where everyone is the same. Now you can limit freeze and shaft but you always have at least 1 freeze and shaft. This is a good idea because I hate isida chains and isidas healing mammoths with shafts that also shoot you down.

[Atakhan 1,229]

Nice idea. I suggested something similar in the feedback section. I think you should do the same.

[FederalBureauFBI 2,881]

It has been suggested many times and as I said, it's planned, there'sno point to post on Feedback again.

ok sorry didn't see your post before was playing a game and using the forum at the same time.

[Remaine 4,687]

I can imagine this getting annoying.

[joostcool 5,942]

Yup, it just happened again to me... there was not even a fund to steal... he waited till everybody went out of the game, and then left by himself... -.-
