Shots of the Week

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

I hope you like my selected title for this idea. :D

Originally it was "Featured Gun." However, I realized that this could be done with hulls, thus leading me to suspect "Featured Tank" as a candidate. I ended up going with Shots of the Week. You'll see why.

 

My idea first sprouted when I noticed people stating that they needed guns OUT of their inventory. They even suggested an idea that involved selling equipment to other players, and all in all deleting guns from their inventory wholly. Now although one may argue that they should be able to do anything they want with their account, I have two points to make:

A. If you read the agreement you clicked on and supposedly "agreed" to, Tanki Online still owns your account, and everything in it, including crystals.

B. Instead of being reckless, one should think about the future, and what other problems it may cause. Two of these problems are contained here.

 

 

And  not letting you completely delete an item is for your own good, honestly. And you should just ignore it if you don't want to use something. It's not a big deal.

You know, enabling people to completely delete an item would cause more problems instead of solving them. People can:

A. Lie and say they owned something prior, and demand it. It'd waste staff time for them to actually check their account history.

B. People can delete something, and want it back. A waste of crystals, time, and it would discourage them to play.

 

It's for your own good so you won't by any chance complain in the future.

It doesn't hurt you in any way for having a weapon or hull in your inventory, even if you don't use it.

 

 

So, my suggestion is to bring attention to each of these turrets and hulls. It will regulate their uses, and bring an incentive to use them. It can allow players to try out weapons and hulls, and expand their experiences and knowledge within the game. In addition to that, it will regulate use with weapons to promote diversity upon turrets and hulls within the game. Thus doing so, can also promote revenue for Devs.

 

The procedure on how to do this starts here:

 

The more simple way I would suggestion would be to host events that feature each turret/weapon, or both. Lets imagine there is a week that promotes Ricochet. There could be contests, in which people may obtain screenshots of them playing with said turret or hull. A person who does so may receive a reward if sent via forums or twitter. And there could be a grand prize for the BEST screenshot. An example may be 1,000 crystals for a screenshot. The best screenshot may receive 10,000 Crystals AND 50 power-ups?

 

The screenshots version of this contest can be expanded upon, as there are no restrictions of "best." In fact, perhaps you can put them in categories. Perhaps one week, you can ask for the most aesthetic looking screenshot. Or you can ask for specific things, such as victories in battles. And the screenshot with the highest score AND victory gets the grand-prize. Note that you have to WIN the battle for it to count. So you can recycle the "screenshots" idea.

 

Or perhaps the contests would require a video.

 

It does not have to feature contests either. There could be meet-ups in-game, whereas everyone brawls in a battle with the same featured turret and/or hull. The winner may receive a winning prize, and a consolation can be given to the rest of the players who took the time to take part in such an event. An incentive to that could be how on this very rare occasion, people can enter spectator mode ONLY for this battle. This can ensure participation in this battle. It will also be fair, as it is a DeathMatch, not a CTF.

 

Do you see why I said "Shots of the Week?" It's due to the connection screenshots, and turrets have in common. Besides, turrets are a notable feature on tanks, are they not?

 

All in all, this will promote the trying out of new kinds of tanks, and increase revenue AND player interaction. Who knows, maybe even Devs can be the host of these events. I know Semyon Kirov is our community manager, and Hazel_Rah sure likes Shaft! :) This can support Player/DEV interaction.

 

Feel free to improve what I have suggested above.

 

At first, I was going to suggest that promoting turrets and hulls could fall into a more technical procedure. I was about to ask if it were to be possible for Devs to make it so that the servers can notice who uses the featured turret/hull, and those people would receive either a reward at the end of the Featured Turret/Hull week, or they would be able to earn bonus XP at each kill, or more points with each Flag captured with selected hull, etc.

 

However, this would be far too complicated. In addition to that, it promotes individualism, and does not bring tankers closer. Instead, it supports the idea "I need more XP, I need more crystals." The idea I went with in the end is much more simple, fun, and beneficial for both Devs and players.

 

Devs, I highly suggest you take heed to the parts I put in Bold, Italicized, AND underlined. I think Players may love this as well.

still you have fingers after this post?   o.O
you do not have blunt fingers or you did not blisters? O.o
you write good and nice it's a pleasure to read your post.

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

Yes, my fingers are fine. :D

And thank you! However, I'm still curious about what people think, and what the Developers think about this.

It could really help in so many ways IMO.

 

Or, perhaps Developers can just do "seasons?" :lol:

There are twelve months a year, and 9 turrets: Smoky, Firebird, Twins, Ricochet, Freeze, Isida, Shaft, Railgun, and Thunder.

That gives a month and a little more for each . . .

 

Oh well.

i will talk to yele about that

That is the best idea I have ever heard about. I would love to have " shots of the week with my isida and ricochet " but the only problem is that the prizes should not be too much or people will start complaining if they lose. Another completely different thing is I think tanki should put more crystals in the gold boxes. 1000 crystals is not enough. 5000 is okay. Also, they should make it cheaper and easier to buy kits and m1 m2 m3 guns. 999999 crystals is too much no one could afford that unless u r a hacker which I'm not but I really want the kits. They should also make parkour maps only for parkour.
