Let's Discuss Skins!

Yaay like tanks from comicbooks (or 2d promo art). That would be amazing!

You should be able to change your skin a few times in a game.

 

When I am multing I like a skin change from time to time.  Nothing better then heading to the dressing room for a while hey ladies?

one of the most boring skins with only a texture just change are Prim skins, these skins should be converted into HD texture, and there should be small black outline on them to make them fantasy like, so these skin can look even good, just like legacy skins got sharpness ,

for example

Hello! I don't know where to post this idea because there is no such category of Idea for Skins as I see now...

My idea is Angelic skins... since there are Demonic skins, it is only fair to have the opposite of it!

Colors would be Gold, White, Baby blue and have some armor type texture.

Sell a paint "Glory" as well that is white and yellowish color that shines bright. Or another color "Enlightenment" it goes from dark black to that white-yellowish bright color.

I think these skins and paints would suit Easter very well

[NikmanGT 4,362]

I think XT skins serve the purpose, the golden and white texture, the extra gold platings, angelic would be similar to it, unless Devs have something else planned.

I think devs are trying to keep Tanki celebrations as neutral as possible, not relating them to any national or religious celbrations which players from other parts of the world may not relate to.

[Hypersomnia 1,695]

well it's easy to say add X skin and Y skin and Z paint and only give absolute bare minimum description. 

i think they should add "OS" skins with green and purple being the colour pallet. i will not provide any further info or concept art.

also like my glorious king Maf (mwah )  pointed out Tanki makes their celebrations neutral for obvious reasons. 

while AC skin set being the complete opposite is surely an interesting idea i'm pretty sure "ICE" skins are already serving this purpose of being the polar opposite of DC.

Demonic Skins are hot burning spooky fantasy skin set while ICE is icy and cold fantasy skin set. literally the polar opposite and we already have a template and existing ICE skins.

I'd rather them finish ICE DC and other skin sets before moving to yet another new skin set that will never be finished.

only XT Hornet can be seen as 'angelic'.

XT Skins are the "Premium Rich Tank" skin set while AC would be more... well... angelic. wings and feathers and all that non sense.

Coming from that POV, Demonic skins could be refered to Satanist religion...

halloween , christmass , easter egg etc. but after 15 years , there's still no Eid event or ramadan event for muslims. what about that?

Easter isn't being celebrated this year at least. Meanwhile, Halloween and Christmas have lost their religious meaning for the vast majority of people, and are instead being celebrated with spooky costumes, candy, decorated trees, and presents, as opposed to going to church for service in honour of saints or the birth of Jesus.

On the other hand, Eid and Ramadan, while getting increasingly commercialised in some regions, are still deeply religious celebrations focused on Islamic tradition. They're also not mainstream enough to be relatable to most players. There's no such thing as a Tanki event "for Muslims", "for Christians", "for Russians" or any other specific group — all events should be neutral and relevant to everyone.

i also noticed that thing,
i think christmass is still somewhat religious,
the other game do celebrate eid or ramadan tho, i think Tanki devs will think about that after some years, on increasing amount of player.

there are players that are muslims, but not show off their real name. i am not going take names of some, but some helpers of tanki are also muslim

[muzamil 127]

the old demonic skin of firebird, not hd version should be renamed to:
from Demonic ----->Gothic'
because yea, it gives gothic vibes not the demonic.

[NikmanGT 4,362]

What are you talking about bud?
Gothic is related to black and dark theme, DK skins can be gothic to some extent but that with flames fits very just with Demonic.

[Maf 32,300]

That skin is just all-around weird. I never liked how it looked even when it first came out, but now with everyone using HD skins it looks extremely out of place. I don't expect them to remove it or anything, but it being the only "legacy" DC skin while also having an HD Demonic version at the same time is really triggering me...

fact , but DK skins are even worse than prime , in my opinion.

i think they should add another skin, i.e hornet, to make it a combo, otherwise it doesn't make combination with anything.

maybe that supra mk4 like lava taillights on back

if i google the word gothic, this image doesn't even come close
legacy demonic skin sounds good, or you could name it has Halloween skin (HW for short, altho it looks like homework than Halloween)

The title is self-explanatory.

There are two XT skin series in the game currently, one of which is the old XT series, but they are both named "XT", which makes it a bit odd and confusing for new players to understand the reason behind the presence of two skin series having the same name. Yes, they can just search it up on the internet and find out the reason behind it, but I think it would still be better and logical to rename the old XT skins to "XT Legacy" skins, or something like that...

[muzamil 127]

you know what, the old legacy skins which were normal cosmetics back then, had XT skins too! , so i dont think renaming XT-legacy is good, the new XT have HD title in them

[NlDZO 591]

Old and new XT skins can be differentiated by their icons, I think that’s enough.

[2shots2kills 2,364]

I have a simple suggestion that I'm surprised hasn't been implemented yet, given the number of LC skins we've had over the years.

Since Vulcan LC was taken from its old prototype, it's reasonable to assume that the Devs have access to the original resources or can recreate them accurately.

So why not introduce the original Smoky XT as a skin in the game? It would just be a harmless cosmetic option.

You could add it to a minigame or something. It would be a nice nod to the old times.

 

Here's a couple of reference images just in case

[NikmanGT 4,362]

You mean XT HD and normal XT right ?

Or it is now — XT LC, XT and  XT HD, because we already have too many of too many skins (pun intended).

Right now we already have XT HD and "normal" XT skins, this specific Smoky would be a one-off exception called "XT-LC" ... but it could be called anything, it's just a way to get it back in the game for good.
