Daily Mission Chains, Improvements in Chats and More

[master_crafter 420]

Also there could be an achievement for receiving gifts, (ex. 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500.) This just came to my mind. :P

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

LoL theirs a flaw in the ip adress :) people could hipe thier ip adress or use a custom one also they can use a vpm :D

no, it's ok.

 

The moderators get those battles highlighted, then take a look inside via spectator mode.

Then they will decide, if it looks like a normal game, or a power level session.

yay! but no name poking D:

[NatchGa 665]

so if like me and my brother are playing together legitimately under the same IP could we still get banned?... probably. great. 

[Rico_Viking_9000 942]

Clean up the news and announcements forum!

[Rico_Viking_9000 942]

Oh, and so basically multiple family members won't work anymore?

[Lex_Talionis 40]

Good updates! I wish that other features could be implemented too. One very important for me, for example, would be to able to put someone in your blacklist, or ignore but not just for chat. a way that could me make identify a player I don't like to play with, so that I don't get in the same battle as him or that he may not enter mine (useful for saboteurs, "trolls", foul-mouthed, etc.). A way to highlight a player in the same way as in the ones in your friend's list. I think I will post that idea in suggestions.

[Lex_Talionis 40]

It will be pretty hard to complete a mission chain when you have missions like these!

 

 

 

Let me have those missions!  :D

well, I would be happy to have those missions, since they are the xp(?) equipment missions.

[Mr.bossman1 36]

still waiting for the dm to another player without using chat function

[to2695 681]

Okay well, me and my brother, bo2844, have the same IP address because we play right next to each other...

 

If we get banned I'm gonna be really mad.

[Lhamster 4,081]

Great to see a bunch of small changes that are what players want and will all improve the game in some way.

[Miahak 1,596]

Good job, devs :wub:

You will be able to distinguish private direct messages from public ones due to the difference in color — private messages will be highlighted brighter.

 

Additionally, we will change the way the nicknames of banned players are displayed in chats. These will be shown as regular text, without any highlighting.

 

I thought players' weren't allowed to know their karma, or others' karma? Isn't it almost the same thing?

 

 

 

Changes in chat links mechanism

 

In order to increase the level of account security in chats, we’ll be making changes to the way links work in TO’s chats.

 

Safe links (battles, links to TO Wiki, help.tankionline.com and so on) will be available at a single click. Links that are in the blacklist will be masked as before. In all other cases, you will be able to click on a link, but will first see a message informing you that we cannot guarantee the security of the target destination, and that we highly recommend you do not enter your login or password on it.

 

Ok, good,  very good.

 

 

Suspicious battles for moderators

 

Battles with 2 or more tankers playing from the same IP will be highlighted with a special color for the game’s moderators. This way, helpers will be able to quickly react to cases where a player is breaking the rules, and promptly deal with sabotage and power-levelling.

 

But what if they're siblings, living in the same household, yet they're 2 different people, 2 different accounts?

What's the point of this update? So now players like me are going be targeted because my friends and family are also playing from the same location, its difficult to commit sabotage with two people from the same IP, i better not get banned for no reason just because i appear suspicious

[Rico_Viking_9000 942]

Yes. This could start an outbreak or "riot" if they don't do something about that household issue.

[Mullins1 12]

What !!! ..... I am almost completing the missions that have taken me some time,
"Earn experience in battles .... 99999" and "Destroy enemies .... 9999".
Now I will lose everything I've done?

[dj112_TURBO 388]

i fully microupgraded dirty 2 days ago :(

[dj112_TURBO 388]

well as far as i know in star ladder all team members play sitting at one place with same ip

[AbsoluteZero 3,729]

Look, playing with the same ip is perfectly fine. Helpers or mods will decide if it's suspicious or not and act accordingly. They're smart enough to leave genuine play alone so no need to worry about getting bans.

 

This small addition should be welcomed by everyone who enjoys honest play.  There is nothing worse than a mult and we need to encourage tanki to do more to stamp them out as best they can.

[Rebellion 640]

Thank goodness for the Custom message update, I've been able to get insulted and harassed by the update. Maybe even add an update to block specific senders? 

[Yisroel.Rabin 16,224]

Awesome, Tanki's getting back on their tracks! All of the updates listed are good ones.

Daily Mission Chains

For me at least, this is all I need to get me doing my missions. Getting a big reward, for getting a smaller reward for tiny work, everyday for 28 days. Seems worth it.

 

Improvements in Chats

EPIC! You're bringing back public messages, but at the same time, if I wanna call someone a noob to someone else without the guy I'm calling a noob knowing, I can!

Also, I always wanted the banned play think, but I'd expect it to be something like, "if the player is banned, when clicking on his nickname, it'll say 'BANNED' under his nickname, along with the regular stuff, such as 'Add to friends' and "profile'."

 

Default text for gifts from banned players

Or just don't let banned players send gifts, but I guess what you've come up with is okay too.

But see, the main problem is not that banned players are sending violations, but that even unbanned players are sending profane via gift.

Example: (profane has been blurred)

 

Changes in chat links mechanism

Well, I never had a problem with anything, but many people have. So good job Tanki!

 

Suspicious battles for moderators

I'm okay with it, I just hope mods don't abuse the power and block me if I'm at a friends house. To be honest, it's kinda' dumb how you guys use IP addresses as the biggest proof of account sharing or multing. I always move, and play Tanki in random places. I don't know exactly how this IP thing all works, but, if it goes like it shows all the IP addresses I've played Tanki with, there's at least 15

 

Smaller changes and fixes

• Don't have any of those paints, so, yea.

[D3BH 1]

I get the weekly rreward even if I changed some of the missions ?

[epanastasi1821 80]

Damn, this looks like it could be an excellent update and I won't have anything to moan about. If the option to downvote was still here then I would have 'liked' this, but I can't on principle until I can also 'dislike' things.

 

People seem to be worried about the IP address thing for no reason. It does NOT say you can not have two accounts playing from the same address - merely that this will be highlighted to bring it to the MODs attention so they can check that nothing bad is happening.
