Suggestions presented in August 2013

[moshkinstein 142]

I have a few suggestions which are hopefully worth while or lead on to a good idea:

 

1/ Team Chats should be hidden from the opposition

 

2/ In all games, losers should receive some Crystal Credit, rather than nothing. As it is all about keeping the players in the game.

 

3/ Tank Supply Option 1 worth adding: Smoke Screen to temporary blind the opponent or to hide yourself, like tear gas or dust.

 

4/ Tank Supply Option 2 worth adding: Oil Slick is another, let out some oil from behind your tank and your opponent will slide out of control.

 

5/ I found when I lose, is mainly caused by some gamers not participating. Instead they shoot at walls or just sit there. There should be an alert for them to change to practice area, to allow new gamers to join the game. If we are busy fighting, sometimes we have not got time to chat to them and I find they usually do not take notice. 

 

6/ I found there are two types of gamers, sitting back ones, because they don't want to lose too many of their lives and ones who are suicidal who like to get stuck in on the front line. I think there should be aggression factor added to the gamers score.

 

7/ There should be a start delay on some of the games to allow new users to join. 

 

8/ I speak English, but sometimes I have to try and push some gamers, especially the ones not participating. The game should allow Copy Text, so I can Paste Text into Google Translate, eg: to allow me to translate Russian Cyrillic to English.

 

9/ Next to Avatar's name, spoken/written language should be added, to help with communication and maybe also add gamers origin. eg: Moshkinstein (English / England)

 

10/ I very much like capturing the flag, even though there is fault with it sometimes, when the opponents flag does not always attach to base, but I am sure you are aware of that problem. I was thinking of something new, like a Tanki Football, where you push the ball in the opponents direction to their goal. Could be as crazy as Gloucestershire's Cheese Rolling contest :-D

1. Team chat is already hidden from opponents.

2. Losers do receive crystals, if the difference between flags/deaths isn't too big. A game with 20-4 flags will get 0 reward. A game with 20-18 flags will get some reward.

3. I like it.

4. Very difficult to implement I think, but interesting and I've thought of that before :D

5. Team kick ( /vote ) option is just for that

6. How would you implement that? The key is for you to personally find a balance - being active and not being suicidal.

7. Self-respecting players usually wait for the opposite side to fill up - larger games don't require that I think.

8. The new interface (and chat channels) will have a translation option, just have to wait for it.

9. Interesting

10. Not sure I understood...

1: team chats are Press "T" and talk, enemies wont see.

2sometimes they do

3: This may be reasonable.

4: i don't like this idea, kind of childish.

5: just use /vote if they are innactive

6: there is a rating one, more kills/less deaths, and you will get a good score, however your idea is hard to believe, because this "Aggression" is by attacking and "killed" so maybe someone who does nothing only get killed is aggressive? it's hard to decide!

7: there are few seconds, and most tankman just want to play and do not have time to wait for a "delay" users can join in the middle of the heat.

8: i can copy from google, i've done it a hundred time and pasted into the chat. (but you can not copy what they sent which is quite annoying)

9: i didn't understand this point

10: maybe in special occasion (Champions cup) etc. , but that would be silly in normal days because it's a tanks game!

 

Finally, please post at feedback section, because the admins read the ideas there.

For number 6: I find what I call "Campers" stay in their own area. If there is a border to go into the opponents half & you go over it, that could be classed as trying to attack. So maybe one crystal for every attack. 

 

For number 10: you can have a football pitch and push the ball around with your tank. It would be messy, but it is an idea.

For number 9: You find in a team will contain different languages. So you cannot ask "what is your language", because they will not understand. So above your tank, your name will have language and country by it. So if you want to chat to them, you can quickly get a translation from google. Eg: Moshkinstein / English / England
