completed Ability to create fair battles against friends with weak equipment

[Minenraeumer 26]

I play tanki since a while now and my rank is quite advanced.

 

I love the game and I would like to invite my friends to play tanki, too.

The reason for that isn't that THEY can play tanki too, but that WE can play tanki together.

That isn't possible since my rank is to high, so I have no drive to invite my friends into the game because we can't play together.

 

What about being able to temporarily (!) downgrade the equipment in the garage to basic M-types below for being able to participate in battles together with lower ranks? That would be absolutely great!

 

I see the problem of playing much better as an advanced ranked player. But that could be leveled by a penalty.

Common problem. Simple solution. Create an alternate account and play with your friends until they reach a rank at which they can play against your main account.

Under review (completed in Tank X)
[frnd] [btpt][wpn][hll]
This has already been implemented in Tanki X and it's possible that the same feature will also be made available in Tanki Online later on.

Create an alternate account and play with your friends until they reach a rank at which they can play against your main account.

This is the perfect solution. I don't see why the developers would bother adding a feature that allows you to downgrade, which would then cause a whole bunch of issues regarding equipment and experience.

Not only that, but can you imagine what would happen if high rank players were able to downgrade? Skill vs NotmuchSkill........

[Minenraeumer 26]

No, that is not a solution at all, because I would need 4 or 5 accounts to have the whole range of possible battles.

That would be consuming more than double the time.

 

The whole battle-system could be based not on rank but on equipment classes.

You still climb up the ranks to buy equipment, but the battles should be sorted by power of participating equipment (which would be more balanced).

It would be far more easy to just have M0, M1, M2 and M3-battles instead of the floating rank ranges.

 

If you got an M3-tank and M3-turret you could just take part in a M2-battle and your equipment is automatically reduced to basic M2 for the duration of the battle.

 

 

That M-system would have far less issues as the system that is active now.

And that system would animate players to upgrade in their M-class because the downgraded more experienced players only have the basic M-class in that battle.

 

My suggestion doesn't only take into account a solution for the players but an incentive to spend more crystals as well - what would be good for the owners of the game. ;)

The other posters just wrote that you easily can do that by creating another account anyway. So that point is obviously wrong.

You were disagreeing with them too...... :huh: :huh:  :huh:

 

#reallyconfused

[arun246 67]

I agree, i purchased an item to get it so i should be able to interchange it. However this shouldnt be available for Kit buyers since most of them dont even have M1 or M2 models and just buy the m3 out of a kit, just my chain of thought, since they are getting discounts on it when theres a discount, and because they dont purchase the previous models. So they dont technically own it

[Minenraeumer 26]

Yeah you are right.

But that would be more complicated. I would integrate the kit buyers, too.

 

The reason is that a good game should make more play possible instead of not possible.

[Rohrmeister 1,536]

Multiple accounts mean a lot more time that you invest.

If your friends like Tanki, then the rank up faster then your alternative account (as they play only one, while you play two accounts).

 

You end up in a lot of time in maintaining aprox. 3 additional accounts.

 

Also at my level I would like to play with some guys just 1 or 2 ranks below me, that have not yet M2 rail. But I do.

I would like to select to equip M1 rail for me in order to have a more balanced 1:1 with them.

 

would be a nice feature..

[Truthteller 4,204]

Lemme guess you want the mult problem worse then it already is?

[Minenraeumer 26]

I want to have only one account to be playable with all my friends. And with the ability to downgrade equipment there would be less reason for someone to have many accounts.

 

And the time investment for other accounts is not a good thing, as Rohrmeister correctly said.

[Deliquescence 557]

No pls

[j_m_d_t 0]

You should be able to downgrade some stuff and SELL i really want to sell a ton of stuff and you cant it it is really annoying.

[Minenraeumer 26]

No pls

 

Why?

[WarMonkey51Austin 68]

They never listen T_T

Isn't this a bit boring?? I mean, I join high rank battles so that I can learn how to play better and survive against weapons more powerful than mine..

[Athena369 265]

I totally agree with this idea and believe it should be implemented within the game. Creating alts just in order to battle some lower ranked players has become one hell of a nuisance and I'm sure this will provide that a great solution. At least implement it with a new game mode knows as duels where duelling is solely done with exactly same equipment with exact same parameters.

 

Great idea yet again dark :D

[TerribleFuzz 9]

I agree wholeheartedly, this would definitely expand the fun aspects of the game, so it won't get so ridiculously boring with the higher ranks. Imagine this: a generalizmo is feeling very compassionate one day, and decides to lower the stats of his/her armour and join a nub match, allowing them to get exponential extra experience and gems because they destroyed someone with a higher rank. And, of course, this would let all the players with higher ranking equipment have equal battles with each other.

well,you couldn't  learn much if you have a difference of an M in your and your opponents Equipment cause of the

difference in damage,reload,etc

 

but now if you are playing with someone of more experience and by the very same Equipment,you could learn much more :)

Good,but you will still be overpowered for better skills.lol

Choice to equip your m0 of a weapon or hull, even if you own m1 or higher.

 

You would effectively own m0, m1, m2 and m3 versions of weapons and hulls if you buy them, and be able to upgrade and equip them individually.

 

WHY?

.

- You can play with your favorite kit in clan games that require you use a lower m class!

.

- You would not have wasted money upgrading kit, when you come to buy m+

.

- ^ You get to keep m1 and m2 items that you have paid for!

.

- Some people like the look of lower m versions of their favorite kit (which I do).

.

- It would give more control to players when managing and dressing up their tank! = Happy Tankers! without changing game-play balance at all.

 

HOW?

It would be intuitive if you could toggle between m0, m1 etc in the table, to select which one you want to equip (providing you have bought them).

 

 

 

Extra

It would be great if you could adjust certain parameters of your tank. For example: you might want to decrease the weight of your tank back to it's original weight, to drift more and jump further. But you may also increase it again (to however much you have upgraded it), when you want to avoid flipping and drifting.

 

Conclusion 

This would give more control to players, make them feel richer and make Tanki more rewarding = Happy Tankers! while not changing the main game-play balance at all.

Not a bad idea tbh. (tbh = to be honest)

[mcmonkey25 717]

Interesting... personally I wouldn't use this function as I don't feel it is necessary for me to lower the modifications. Yet, there is slight justification behind it (especially on the test server)...
