Ideas test server

[DageLV 940]

Hi! My suggestion is easy to explain but hard to realise. I know that. Dont say it to me ok?

 

So my idea is to make one more test server with ALOT of bugs, unbalanced server.

Do you think why? We already have enought bugs?

 

So they could create server like ideas.tankionline.com where they put some things what we suggest and if it realy works out, they put it in test.tankionline.com for bug tests and then in actual game, but in ideas.tankionline.com we dont need invite codes or something else. When there is a new idea added, server is opened for a day or 2 and everyone can join but there is only a few maps and laggs just the same as now or even copied the code? Meaning Devs dont even take this server serious and dont put effort in it.

 

Example: Everyone wants airstrike turret or something like that. Players have to make GOOD and simple 3d model and vote for stats.

Then it gets added to ideas.tankionline.com for showing how bad or good was this idea.

If its good, developers work harder for this turret and then upload it to test.tankionline.com and decide to add it to game or no.

 

It would be hard and easy to develop at the same time...

Create new server? Kinda hard...

Develop this server? Easy.

Adding that turret/hull/suply/prop hard.

Devs dont need to fix something. Just test.

If not working and everything goes wrong, (Server is TOTALY messed up) they just copy and paste code from current game version. They can test everything.

 

Some new supplies? Or something else? 

It would help developers to decide if its good or bad idea.

Adding that turret/hull/suply/prop hard. or replace those, who already exists? or make a copy of it and then change stats?

Devs dont need to fix something. Just test.

You know that bugs aren't even the main problem with adding a new idea? The main problem is time - there is simply not enough time in the devs' schedule to work on so many new ideas.

 

Besides, we already have the test server, so I don't see why this secondary test server is necessary.

It takes a lot of work for even a turret to be added into the game- the 3D model is difficult, but the coding, animations, and adding in protections are likely more headache-inducing. Even an unfinished and crude turret would be a hassle. The developers are currently working on Tanki X in general and updates for Tanki Online- they don't have much spare time to work on other things, and something like this (which would be a lot of work just to entertain the community for a few days) is not a priority. Maybe they can experiment with new turrets in the future, once they've finished Tanki X or something.

If we talk about new turrets, then create any new XT item

Thats what i said!

If they tink its bad idea, but players tink its good, they can test it and see who is wrong! players or devs.

They just have to put the base of item. Module (Found in forums) and stats (From forums) also pros and cons (From forums) with voting.

So they dont need to work with animations and other stuff.

And cant they just edit already existing turrets? Such as xt items just in that server?Change module and yeah...

Changing module for TankVeiwer isnt so hard...

 

They can ask everything to players by creating pools or something.

They just have to put the base of item. 

If a turret is already at a stage where it can be used for play-testing, it means that 80% of the work for that turret has already been done and simply scrapping it when players dislike the idea isn't really an option. This is why this ides of yours won't work - developers will not spend months and months working on something that they are not sure will fit well in the game.

Why do you think it wont fit in game? Players would get more creative... not like now almost all ideas is the same.

I asked 1 developer if its possible to add 1 weapon per 2 months and he answered no, its impossible, because BALANCING the turrets is taking long time. Modules are the first step... but so?

Are u saying all those thousands ideas are just wastle of time? There are some good ideas but they get barried realy fast under all this spam in forum..

And you are saying something about 80% of work is lost or what?

No it isnt. its just for ideas server where they are just testing the idea if its good or bad.

How can you say that, idea is bad if you havent tested it?

 

And you are saying that, my ideas dont get accepted but hey! I posted an idea about Tanki launcher created by tanki developers and later, when i was trying to find one developer, i fount that, they are planning to make launcher...

 

Tanki has to evolve..

Is there even 1 single thing that you dont know about this game? No. you know everything and also i do know everything about it what now is happening here..

There has to be something new added. How long those suply exist here? I havent seen that, one of them gets added.

latest good news was when vulcan and hammer got added. Before that shaft or hornet/viking/mammoth. Nothing is changing there.

This server would help tanki alot...

 

Minecraft is evolving all the time. They test and decide to keep it or do something else.

 

Only TESTING IDEAS can help tanki...

You are missing the point here. The reason developers aren't experimenting with new ideas right now is not because they don't have a server for it, but because such experiments are not part of their development plans. There is no way to add something when there is no time and no human resources available to work on it, so until developers run out of things to do and start looking for more ideas (and it will be around 5 years before that happens), this "ideas server" you suggest  is completely unnecessary.

5 years?? Then without good updates noone will know what tankiOnline was or is. This game will die after 2 or 3 years without something new!

If they want, they can make that server and experiment what players suggest.

 

(Btw how do you think? Why minecraftis so popular? Because DEVELOPERS LISTEN TO PLAYERS AND TEST THAT, WHAT THEY ASK AND DECIDE to add to game or not.)

I never said that there will be no updates for 5 years. I said that developers have enough plans for 5 years (including work for both Tanki X and Tanki Online), so it will be a long time before they will start needing new ideas.

If tanki x will be the same as Tanki Online....

Then RIP TankiOnline.

So they can create this server where they can test everythng and make tankiOnline different from TankiX so both games have a chance to survive.

AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAAHUEHEUEHUEHHUEHEUEHEUEHEUHEUEH

Excuse me for my rather extravagant laughter but no one has made me laugh like this in a looong time.

Please re-read what Mafioso said. Again, the developers already have plans for Tanki X and Tanki Online for several years in the future. Tanki X will be different from Tanki Online- we know that the economy will be different, for example. The developers don't need to open another test server and test random, half baked turrets to get new ideas- don't you think that they can come up with new ideas by themselves?

Yea.. but most of those ideas gets hated... ALOT

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

I'm gonna go off-topic here but if tanki adds one more server, I think it should be a "Lagger" server where people who lag can all join together in one server and create smaller battles so you won't have to trough through all of the popular large maps in the battle list. Of course, people who don't lag can join these smaller battles.
