Asked a mod in the chat, it seems they cannot see what players write privately, old wild west is back, do whatever you want and get away with it  :lol:  :ph34r:

IRC is back!!!

[RobRoy1 33]

COOL

can mods see the chats?????

Of course, if they did not how could they do their job.

This update is horrible, please take it out as it creates a anti-social mood in tanki, it is very boring and meeting new people to talk to and other things become impossible. Tanki is becoming less and less fun. Yes i do realise you want to kill Tanki so that you can get more people to play tanki x but the reality is that people have worked hard for their accounts and your just making money of them. keep on Going Tanki team because you are really killing it and killing the game !!!!    *applauds at the efforts of killing Tanki*

nice :)

To be honest, me and about 4/5 of tankers I've talked to agree this update sucks. Why? Let me give you the reasons.

 

     1) It looks empty. At first glance, the Tanki chat now looks completely dead. I am I tanker who LOVES playing on Tanki. However, with this new update, I was seriously considering not even bothering playing, because the Tanki chat looks like nobody is even on it - because nobody IS anymore. People don't wanna chat due to the fact that they can't have discussions with more than one other person, and this turns people off. If incoming tankers see a chat teeming with life, they get excited to get in the fray and talk about combos, gold boxes, battle types, and of course things outside of Tanki. Now? All they see are people flooding and a few scattered battle links that don't fit their rank. This seriously disuades some tankers from playing, and they feel the need to express their opinion of how dead it looks, and then log off never to return to the game again. And for every tanker who says they don't like it, there's 50 behind them who don't say anything, yet still hate it just as much.

 

     2) Less spread of useful information. Say one tanker has asked the general chat "What's the best way to have a good chance of getting a gold box?" Now, there's a tanker there happy to help, and ether gives them the http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=263310 link, or happily explains in their own words.... except they send it directly to the tanker. Now, the 5 other tankers who could have benefitted from that can't read it. And that could damage their Tanki career in case a gold, or whatever piece of informations said helpful tanker has divulged, comes to fruition in their battle and they don't know what to do.

 

     3) This is more for personal friend circles, but it offers more of a chance for tankers to talk about others behind their back.

 

 

Now, let's look at the "Pros", shall we?

 

     1) Chat is less cluttered, especially for people who want to battle and not be distracted. Except we already covered that. Less clutter = More cleanly, also = More dismal and empty. Also, for people getting distracted part, can't they go into their settings and select "Turn Off Chat?"

 

     2) More opportunity for mods to supervise us. Well, they could supervise us JUST as well before, if not MORE because more people were talking before. We still know if they're there cuz of bans, so we'll still know when we have to be behaving extra good.

 

     3) Easier to pick out flooders. Well, couldn't you spot them relatively easy before anyway? And won't people who were sending lots of messages in the main chat before not considered flooding, yet now they'll be banned for flood just because their messages are physically closer together?

 

     4) Easier to talk one on one without people butting in. Isn't that was the black list is for, which we still had earlier anyway? Besides, what is they offer some nice insightful opinion on what Tanker A and Tanker B are arguing?

 

PLEASE, Tanki Staff, I BEG of you, revise this update, or even better yet, get rid of it. I used to go on Tanki to relax, have a good time with my friends, etc. Now, I can't even have a group chat with them in the main chat, and we can't go into battles because our ranks aren't compatible. And any one of us could miss out on important information, people explaining updates (that are hopefully actually good updates), or information of which battles we want to go to (i.e. Tanker A directly to Tanker B: "Hey' we're having a 4v4 in Sandbox right now! It's gonna be all XP, I hope people join" when you're an XP fanatic yourself

[LinksSword123 2]

Hey, it's me again, I'd like to just add another point of information here...

     This update adds MORE incentive to spam. I'll get some screenshots in a bit maybe, but in 4 different servers out of the ENs, I've seen hoards of people just spamming the chat and loads of bans. You could say "The mods are able to do their job better." However, this isn't the case. The emptiness just fuels people to start spamming, so this update actually leads to an increased, not a decreased, risk of flooders.

[Bydo 20,119]

if you ask any mod there either mixed feelings on this or hate it...so start listening to your staff .

 

.because we surely know your not listening to the players..

 

WE knew  it would be a mistake and now players and your staff is seeing it fully ...

 

i will not say please cause it wont work ..

 

just wake up and see what the players and staff are saying...        GET RID OF IT  !!!!!

[destroyer5817 13]

you said that be DEFAULT it would be private if u say default that means you WILL be able to change that feature but can we? no. you claimed in the V-log we could but we cant whats with the lieing? so because of that it would be nice to be able to turn off that feature if you wanted to in the settings other than that, great update i love it!  :D

disadvantage.....

 

who want to chat in grup they cnt see each othr frds msg.....

 

also too clan if team member want to discus about clan war they cnt see all members msg...

 

<_<  <_< 

Nope mods cant see priv messages :/

[Dutch_thesoccerlover 18]

Amm all what i can say is WTF!!! Mods will probably see your messages.

The chat will look more clear! not dead. If you want to say something to 1 single person, then 1000+ pll shouldnt see it!

It will be easy to search for help. Now all chat is flooded with messages and if you ask something in general chat, noone will see it mostly.

Who said all private chat will disapear?

Why you need to know if someone is online or not? if he finds you online, then next step for him is to find you in battle. it will be hard for him.

 

How much you know about this?

There isnt much info given to players so you cant say there will be that, or there wont be that. Its still work in progress so shut up!

 

But you will be able to do @Tanker_01 Hi!

in general chat if you like!

I asked a couple of mods and they said they can't see the priv messages -.-

 

And all im saying thanki developers hopefully dont leave it but update it and work on priv messages downsides!!

[Dutch_thesoccerlover 18]

I agree with others that say private chat should be an option.

[Dutch_thesoccerlover 18]

 Ikr!! Tanki should listen to our opinions for once 

[Dutch_thesoccerlover 18]

Where do i find it and how do i activate it???

 Click on a players name and press 'write in chat' and it will automatically become private...

how to send pms?

[r_Fillet-wolf0 0]

:D  i love this but can moderator ban you while you are doing this?

 

[Emerald_Queen 0]

The plus side is no nosy people will be reading your messages and using them against you, and the bad side is someone can be insulting a person or asking for his/her passcode and a moderator or admin wouldn't be able to see and ban the person from chat or even worse the game.  :)

 

 

[kkkkk3157 937]

how to send pms?

the same way you do in chat, by writing in chat to them

[Greek_machine124 0]

[r_TIGER_BOY_20140 78]
