Squad - Group

[CaptainMaxwell7 231]

Hello tankers.

 

I've been thinking about this for a lot of time. Maybe Tanki should make us able to make squads or groups (I am just gonna call them squads) and have people with you? And maybe have a voice chat feature only activated with the squad?

 

And there's a lot of good things for this. First of all, when the leader presses play, all of the squad joins the battle. Now I know maybe the other team only have 1 player, and your squad have 6 players, so it will be 6 vs 1 in a second. So maybe limit the squad to 2 - 4 people? Or try to find a solution around it?

 

Also there should be maybe perks/rewards for people in squads. I don't mean like rewards only people in squad get, I mean something like maybe xp sharing (I know bad idea, since 1 kill = 10 xp) or anything. I am just trying to suggest. Tanki is very basic I can't think of a perk or reward. :/

 

Maybe you can see where your squad mate is? I mean like a marker appears on top of them, even if they're behind walls you can see the marker very clearly. And if they're in a battle with "Team damage" enabled, they can't damage eachother? Trying to come up with ideas to make it more interesting.

 

Maybe make squads only without perks or anything now, and in the future when the game get more features, you can introduce perks and stuff for squads?

 

Sooo what do you think?

Maybe I got it wrong, but it seems to me that the so-called "squads" you suggested are just adding the ability to invite multiple friends in one click - or more precisely, to kidnap them into the battle :P Am I right?

Kind of, you make a squad, you're the leader, there's a menu that shows everyone in it. So you invite let's say 3 guys, you click play, all of you join the same battle in the same team.

 

Ehhh this needs a lot of tweaking to make it look balanced. I mean if 4 guys join in a second, the battle will be unbalanced. So there must be a way around this.

You're invited to show that not-found-yet way around :) I don't see such a way... But it could be interesting to replace the old Drug Wars and with Squad Wars - like, which team has more players with a squad to bring :D

He is talking about a clan system, I think. Even didn't planned in the Alternativa platform if I am right.

I know right, but I hope they won't make it only for pro battles. Uh did I say that out loud? I think I did.  :ph34r:

No not a clan system, I mean a squad. Like platoons in World of Tanks (I hope I don't get punished for trying to explain)

It's not quite a clan system.. Well, it seems like a very extensive clan system :P

An ally...a clan...a squad. In fact, you can call it anything, it's a group of tankers with an in-game section. This is your main idea...

I think it won't be implemented soon in the Flash version. But it would be cool.

[CaptainMaxwell7 231]

Tanks led by TO? I mean we players make these squads and invite others, not devs .__. And yeah I'd love to see this in Unity.

Tanki make and option where you CAN make these squads...Soory for the wrong word.

No problem, things happen man.

As for calls, there's Team Speak etc.

As for Squads, there's clans. I know what you're trying to say is different, but winning in a clan does give huge rewards...

XP sharing... BAD idea. Power level - adding some alts into your squad and adding all the XP to one account. Even 10 exp is power level, okay?

If your team-mate is in your team, no matter where they are you see their name and health bar.

The 'No Damage'... It can easily be taken advantage of too.

[dilsharox 2,395]

so this squad is like a clan?

[CaptainMaxwell7 231]

I am saying squads, you guys are bringing clans... Have you ever guys played another game beside Tanki? A lot of games out there have a system called "SQUADS" and it's something entirely different from "CLANS". Squad is a VERY small group of players, can be 2 or even 10, depending on how much the game allows you to have. But clans are a group of A LOT of players, and I am talking about a successful clan, which would have 10 - 40 clan members. Squads are like just a small team created for a small amount of time. Clans are created to stay for a long time.

How? I am teaming in a squad with my friend and he's gonna annoy me somehow and damage me? I mean how it will be taken as an advantage? Yeah it's an advantage for me having someone with my in the squad, we can't "Accidentally" damage each-other. How is this a bad thing?

[freedie.inn 51]

Not bad

[CaptainMaxwell7 231]

Not bad

Thank you for supporting man, glad to see you by my side. xD by the way I sent you a message.

[Indra_Otsutsuki 329]

I think we shouldn't call this a "clan" I think we should simply call it a "mini-clan" or squad for simplicity.

[CaptainMaxwell7 231]

I'd go for squad or even a group, because mini-clan is confusing.

OK,fine by me

Friendly Fire is like a disadvantage, and if the other team has it but you don't, it's an advantage to you.

Well I see now. I just tried to suggest perks for being in a squad other than "Clicking Play will get in all of you together"

[i200000 717]

To make a normal and complete opinion to your idea.

 

First of all, a bit change in your idea - Clicking Play will get in all of you together: I saw it in serveral other games, it works good and I've enjoyed it.

Only we need a pop-up to accept this joining. But if I am right, it's already exist. So your idea about entering the game is not very different from the current system.

 

Making clans, groups, squad is a very demanded thing in TO. There were serveral ideas: Offical alliances in DM matches, in-game clans, ect.

Till now, none of them has been implemented. However, as I noticed, Tanki started to focus on multiplayer elements - chats, achievements, Friends. So I think we'll still alive when this new feaute will be implemented.

I think it's hard to implement these stuff with the current engine. Because they have to build the features. But with Unity engine, it will be waaay much easier to do this.
