Completed More details about battle in invitation window

[Mr.Ace 1,116]

when i searched i couldnt find a topic if one exists my apologies (pls give me link in that case)

 

When youre friend invites you to a battle you only receive info: map name , game mode , and places are available or not , well sometimes ure playing a battle and you leave and by the time you reach that battle no more space is available , or no one else is in battle or the battle is too one sided and wasting ure drugs is a bad idea , or u find out that the battle wont be interesting or too much time is left or anything else.Well my idea is an improved invitation system

 

The following info will be present:

1. Map name
2. game mode: CTF , CP etc (after map name)
3. theme : summer,winter,night
4. points(if team battle) : 3 - 4 etc
5. people playing : 7 - 6 or 9 for DM etc
6. time left in battle: 10 minutes etc
7. rank limit : to

 

and a message allowed of only 20 characters if necessary (as this has been suggested in a different way before)

Map name and mode, they already come up...like Sandbox XP/BP

Theme - doesn't really matter, aesthetic things....does it?

Points and people playing can be a good idea...

No message plz...wouldn't it get TOO large of a popup?

 

And well, BTW, friends only invite when they seriously need you or that particular battle is a good one....friends don't invite you to boring battles...

 

And for the sentence that, 'by the time youncome the place is already taken', I don't have an inch idea about what can be done about it, as reserving a place for the 'coming' guy is a bad idea...

first of all if last position is available then i think people will less bother to join and will join if more positions are there , and he thinks he can make it , secondly friends some times invite u to battles they created or u find out the battle not being interesting for example the match is full of too many lower ranks or too many nizmos , some people dont like night mode and i mentioned in first that that appears and im giving all i mean full info of the new invitation ive suggested , messages i have written of only 20 characters and btw they have been suggested so i said if necessary with it too ;)

 

I don't think the theme is that necessary.

some people dont like night mode ;) , just mentioned that cause of that  (i know its not very important)

Also, the time for which the notification stay should increase. I miss it many times, when I can't stop playing in a battle(situation like when a gold is dropping, etc.)

For the first one, did you ever happen to notice that some battle have just 1 place empty for long time, and some battles get filled the very next second when a slot becomes vacant...this might brig a wrong conclusion sometimes...

But yeah, I agree that instead of say 'Places available', it can say, like, '2 places available'..

But again, there is a problem...places are variable, but the notification can't be....so I think that it should say the number of available places at that second when player invited...but however this would not be able to solve your problem 'if the place gets filled'...

 

And please, mate....the current notification (of barely 20-30 letters) blocks sufficient screen...when it pops during intense battle, it's a problem as you don't have a second to spare to click 'decline', or you'll die...however, the current size is OK....and if there's a 50 words message, then it'll be a lot larger and can be a problem...you see?

 

And BTW, just a suggestion....you can develop a code amongst your friends, for invites...

Like, for me and my friends, what I do is, if someone invites once, we decline if we are in a good battle...so sender doesn't reinvite unnecessarily....if they invite second time, then they need you and if possible, you should go...if you still decline, we don't make the third invite unless its a really urgent...

But however, even the need for second invite hardly arises...we usually leave even a good battle when a friend invites...:P

We should have small notes for every battle invitation so that the other one knows that for what they are getting an invitation.For example if there is clan war so we will put a short message so that the player comes,if he does not then that clan looses war and its better than flooding that guy with invites  :mellow:  ^_^

I've often wanted this.

It will take up to much space on the screen.

Hi,

 

Generally it is very anoying to receive an invite, like "Kungur CTF", to leave my good battle and join another server, and then find out

- it is XP only :mellow:

- Or just Parcour -_-

- Or a CP battle that will last for the next 4 hours :blink:

 

 

 

So please add some more data to the text that is displayed, when a player receives an invitation.

 

Some usefull examples:

[_*Kungur, CTF, XP/BP, 4:5 of 7F[< flag symbol]]

[  Kungur, TDM, 30:74, 5minremaining]

[_*Kungur, TDM, Parcour, 30:74, 5minremaining]

[_*Polygon, CP, 456:798, 2h45minremaining]

[_*Desert, DM, 48 of 100K[< kill symbbol] ]....48 is the currently highest number of kills

[  Desert, DM, 48, 12minremaining]....48 is the currently highest number of kills

 

^ The highlighted number represents the team of the friend that invited you

 

The information about time, kills, falgs, ... is sent "as is" at the moment of the invitation. Of course it can change until you join. Thats ok, as it serves as usefull indication, to prevent crappy scenarios.

When we get invited to battles normally we dont go , cause we don't know what it is about. I suggest we have a little box explaining  why he/she invited you.

 

EXAMPLE: 

mkittens1235 has invited you to a battle

reason: stg need attacks 

 

 

awsomer_the_master has declined your invite

reason: sorry in a good battle

I know there have been previous posts about this topic, but I really want this implemented into the game. 

 

 

 

 

    So you know when you get an invite, but you don't know the score? Yeah, that's basically this whole topic. I'd elaborate but Im too lazy atm.

Most of the info suggested here is unnecessary for an invitation window. But...

 

and a message allowed of only 20 characters if necessary (as this has been suggested in a different way before)

Indirectly implemented with today's update. You can now create a battle with a custom name, and when you invite a friend to that game, they will see the custom battle name in the invitation window. That way you can send a short message, or at least tell your friend what kind of battle you're inviting them too:
