Stats for Alterations

 

While the descriptions for alterations are good, there is confusing wording in some of them. At the moment, even when someone buys them, they do not know the actual stat change for them in game. It would be nice to see the stats for the alterations, especially before the purchase.

i.e

For the Assault Rounds on smoky, it may say something like:

 

---

 I added up or down arrows signifying what the alteration makes better and what it makes worse.

Let's see the crude photoshop of it mate.

agreed, I also suggested that when an alt is equipped it changes the actual stats of your turret in your garage.

That could be useful. You wouldn't want to grab your smoky and then see critical chance 19% and not realize that you have assault rounds equipped.

It's on the wiki but it would indeed be nice if it was actually in the client.

Pro battles should show if drones are on or off.

 

 

Title ^

Right now I can't see if drones are on or off when I am interested in joining a drug battle.

Will probably be added later on.

[GorgoBlesk 831]

Drones ruin gameplay, they should be removed from PRO battles.

[Stylish 45]

Will probably be added later on.

Drones have already been out for a while. When is later on? I think they just completely forgot about it.

Controller support please! Wired and bluetooth!

[Toby 2,938]

Controller support please! Wired and bluetooth!

There is a program called XPadder, for which is a third party software, and it allows you to map out keyboard keys, on to a game controller. It is a great app that can simulate the controls of the keyboard on a controller. Here is a full guide on how to set it up in Youtube:

• Link is here.
• Similar video.

Also for those who are looking a full guide on how to connect and play TO using  a PS4 controller, here is the full guide for you on the Forum.

 

Please note: Any use, function, or failure of this software is not due to Tanki, and no responsibility is taken for any issues that may occur.

 

As for your suggestion itself, it has already been suggested before (quite a lot of times throughout the years) and is in fact already planned.

[LiquidGold 1,370]

Please could we have extra buttons in the Chat lobby, one should read:

 

[Tanki Wiki]

 

the second:

 

[Help Site]

 

I know these are available but so many people  do not know where they are or how to get there this should in time free up laborious time spent by moderators explaining whats already explained else where

 

Thank You LG

Make it easier to find the maps I want to play on in the battle list by adding more filters!
 
When the servers are active, the list of battles looks messy and disorganized. From what I can tell, the battles aren't ordered in any useful way.
While they do have names, and I can filter to play only a certain gamemode (e.g CTF),  it is sometimes hard to scroll through all of the battles (often 3-4 pages of battles) and see the maps and modes (e.g parkour, space, XP/BP) that I want to play.
 
Usually, I play XP/BP, and it would be very useful if I could sort to see only XP/BP battles somehow.

 

Here is how my battle list looks right now (notice the scroll bar as well):
 

 

 

This list is over 100 battles. If I could select only XP/BP battles, that would go down to just 33, and if I could select only Sandbox XP/BP, that list would only be 18 battles. 1 page shows 30 battles, though this might depend on resolution.
 
I suggest adding a filter system so that players can select or deselect certain modes or maps. This could be implemented through a search tool of some kind or through a checklist in which a player can pick certain attributes for battles.

Update garage loading screen!

 

With the new loading screen, it feels weird to see the old loading screen when I visit the garage in battle. Please update this!

 

though tbh I preferred the old loading screen, the new one doesn't fit with the rest of the game's interface

[Chunky88 0]

Home Screen Game

 

The players have seen that you have updated the loading screen. Looks great! There were many outdated images.

 

Taking advantage of the fact that they are updating the interface, I would like to suggest that, you can change the screen where "clan", "garage", "missions", and all this stuff, because it already has a lot of time with the same design. I would also like to suggest that the chat and the news should go somewhere else, because the screen is full of things, or create some way to minimize the chat so it is not so full of things.

[Acrid 36]

Great ideas players have wow

[jdc20181 213]

This seemed like the most appropriate place to post.  

Add a Filtering system for the battle list, and by that I mean by Format, and what is enabled/disabled e.g. Supply drops, alterations etc. The icons aren't easy to see, and its hard to know if I want to join a battle without clicking first. Would pretty much cut out a few mins of search time.

When you are in a battle, the righthand side of the screen shows you the battle notifications that alert you to who killed who, who took the gold box, who picked up the flag, etc.  As of 2017 or so, instead of just words saying UserNickname destroyed RandomTanker, they replaced the word "Destroyed" with an icon representing the weapon the second tank was killed with.  Now with shot colors in the game, would it be possible to color those icons with the shot color the tank is equipped with?  For example, if UserNickname destroyed RandomTanker with Striker and the violet shot effect, the rocket that shows UserNickname used Striker should be violet.  Obviously would not be applicable to turrets without a shot color as of now.  If it has any effect on FPS or Ping, I suggest that there be a setting where a tanker could turn it on or off in the Settings.

That seems unnecessary. You're adding something that may confuse tankers as they're accustomed to seeing the icons with a particular colour. Changing this colour might cause some confusion in some players. Why should the colour change? All it's showing you is that the player was killed by a specific turret. That's really all that needs to be said. The colour of the projectile isn't important.

That's a valid point.  I thought it might look cool, that's all.  But in terms of practicality, you are right.

[SageoftheSixPaths 215]

The user interface needs a revamp. The game interface looks a little too old. An lobby similar to one in TankiX would be good.

[SageoftheSixPaths 215]

Show equipment combo of players

 

On pressing tab the scoreboard can show the hull and turret used by each player like in WoT.

[SageoftheSixPaths 215]

Declined? Okay
