[dan146_tanker 770]

So you gonna sit there and laugh at me or tell me?

 

Are you really giving me the google definition???

 

Almost everybody is saying "pause time" or pause in their posts, so I am asking about that. "Pausing" in TO?

[Psycho 586]

You don't think its a problem when you are in Sandbox and you are with 3 tanks against 4 tanks for 5 minutes straight?

you gain skills and become a better player, there's nothing more better than winning with less players, it's not about having more players but having more skills. And it's actually quite exciting.

 

People abusing the pause system to give the enemy team an advantage will just play badly and probably won't leave, whereas someone hiding on pause can be easily recorded and banned.

Pausing is when you press P it stops you from dying more than once, if you are paused you won't spawn until unpaused after 5 minutes you will be removed from the battle if you are paused for too long. Its used if you wanna stay in the battle but need a coffee break or eat something, etc.

That is true. Some people do like the disadvantage because its harder or more fun. I agree with you. But it makes more sense to make it fair. Doesn't it?

What the hell, I already know this...Thanks.

Tanki becomes boring without variation, playing with all sorts risks makes the game thrilling and exciting, worrying about what the enemy is going to do means the game stays exciting to the very end. People will always find ways to get an advantage, implementing this only makes people who play fair suffer whilst cheaters will always cheat you.

This happens rarely and not too much, but it's still a problem and we need to find a solution for it, however good idea, but it would be better if you tell us your idea to how to solve it.

 

---

My suggestion would be to make a limited pause for a player for the whole battle time, for example, the player is not allowed to pause more than 10 minutes in a battle.

Good idea but I personally would say that the limited pause for a player for the whole battle should depend on the battle time itself. So here is a different version of yours, for example if a 15 minutes battle is created than the limited pause time for a player shouldn't be more than 5 minutes but if a 1h DM battle is created than then the limited pause time should be 15 or even 20m max. Long story short: the battle time itself should affect the pause time. Let me know what you think.

[Guest Maserati]

Limited Pause time may be unfair, for example if you lag out, it will count as pause time and will affect how long you can pause.

[jdc20181 213]

Maybe instead of getting rid of it, Reduce the times you can pause however- it doesn't matter if you pause or not if you win you win what crystals and score there is. 

 

I think abusers of the pause time should be warned, lets say they click it multile times in a short time span (people do this so they can recontinrue te pause)

 

Or 

 

In PRO-battles disable pause

[Psycho 586]

No no no no!

Leave things as they're, don't mess with pause times.

[DageLV 940]

maybe ability to pause 5 min total?

If you press P it shows pausr for 5 mins. Lets say you paused for 3 mins. Then next time you pause, it goes from 3 mins and so on until reaches 0 and user gets kicked.

and what if you're playing a really really loong game? You need to periodically take breaks?

As tech said, join shorter battles.

That wouldn't work. People can still pause multiple times. The best solution is only being allowed to be paused once per game for the maximum of 5 minutes. There is a rule that you can only create 3 battles per 5 minutes. Then there should be a rule where you can only be paused for a certain amount of times until you get banned, or something like that. And I don't mean getting banned in chat, I mean getting banned from battles, so you can't create or go to any battles while you are banned.

If your not up for it play shorter battles. I don't know about you but most of my battles are 15 minutes, they are fast and good. If you need breaks play short battles so you get battle fund and don't have to pause all the time. Not to mention you get more breaks cause the battle goes super quick depending on how strong your team or the other team is. If you reach 10 flags quickly then you may only be playing for 5 minutes.

[Psycho 586]

It's not healthy to play a game non stop for an extended length of time.

This idea will never happen if you have an attitude of "play shorter games".

And also they're reasons why people play longer games. Having played this game for a long time, i can guarantee you there is no way in hell anyone is gonna agree to this lunacy.

 

It would be another nail in the tanki online coffin.

You can argue all you like, but everyone knows I'm right :/

So, What's your suggestion if this is a bad idea?

leave things as they're, this isn't a problem people experience and it only affects one aspect of the game, and hardly anyone plays TDM...

 

Why not just remove the ability to pause in the last 5 - 10 minutes of the TDM battles. If you create a situation where people find it difficult to play modes like TDM they'll just not be played at all. When i look at battle lists TDM is almost always non exsistant in most servers

Really.... Dude, for the lower ranks there are mults (not discriminating lower ranks). And it ruins the game. Maybe at your rank there are none but at my rank and below lots of people are just sit there doing noting. The last 1-10 minutes mean nothing. By then the mults are already kicked out of the game, and they ruined the score for their team. Last 10 minutes won't decide the winner, it will just increase the battle fund for the winner. Sorry to break it to you, but when mults abuse the time and you are the only one working and its 7-1 to the enemy even if they let you cap you won't make it in time if its 5 minutes. Now think if they don't let you. Score decides it, you've lost and got 140 crys while enemy team has got 1k each. That's 1 hour wasted. Now you have to log off and get back to your real life. Now do you see how that could annoy people? This is the exact reason why something should be done about this. If nothing is done it will just ruin the Tanki community and players will just leave cause mults keep messing up the score. And if your going to do an idea, note that Tanki will immediately decline it without even bothering to read the whole​ unless you make it for all players. At my rank people usually play CTF and not TDM. But if you say that the last 5-10 minutes should be non-pause able then you should include all battles NOT ​ just TDM.

I have an account 1 rank above you

@kmak.anaka i know what I'm talking about, I've played from the beginning thrice, this is hardly a problem at all, They is no way you'll get people to support this idea, anyone whose played tanki for a long time will tell you that this is a bad idea, this is beyond your capacity of understanding. Only high ranks can give you a proper account of issues because they've played all the ranks and can see the consequences. I've been here through many updates and this would definitely upset hundreds of tankers. Your argument is invalid and by the response of people i can tell you no one likes this idea, i know this because HARDLY ANYONE IS DISCUSSING this. :) you lower ranks always moan moan without researching history or having a credible account of the game.

Do you? Cause right now your wrong. Low ranks don't need history of the Tanki before. This is the present and the future (I am seriously wondering if Tanki will have a future, my moneys on no) not the past. The original Tanki will NEVER return (mostly cause of the paint separation) sorry to say but its true. Us lower ranks are the next generation of Tanki, are we not? You gismos already completed your goal of becoming the last rank. This game needs many improvements this is just one of the improvements. And if you notice someone at YOUR rank created this topic. So I wouldn't really say anyone is disagreeing with me. I'm just agreeing with everyone else. But seeing as you want this taken out, can you explain how this would ruin the Tanki community? Cause I can give you reasons how you could benefit from this idea.

1.) No more mults ruining the game for you and your team.

2.) Wins will get more fair but not fully fair yet, but that's for another topic to discuss.

3.) Bigger battle funds cause everyone is putting all efforts in.

If your just going to be paused all the time why even bother going into battle? If your going to a 1 hour battle or more, than be prepared to put all your effort in. Its not fair to the enemy team, not to mention you take up space when other people are waiting to get into the awesome battle your in. So explain how adding this idea could be bad in any way.

[Psycho 586]

You can scream and rant all you like, but they've been far too few people replying to this idea, me and you are a big chunk of the posts made in this topic, and eventually this topic will die. And lastly you've proved me right, that you are incapable of understanding anything. You lack the capacity to think clearly. And are simply hysterical. Please stop spouting nonsense because any moron can tell you that they're a billion ways people mult and cheat. Doesn't matter what you do. This will never be implemented. FACT. the devs couldn't care less about what a few low eanks in the English community think. You're simply irrelevant. No one cares if you quit. If high ranks leave = bad game.

 

I won't waste my time arguing with someone lacking the intellectual capacity to understand basic things.

I'm not the one that doesn't understand.... This is getting boring, I'm just gonna stop replying to your comments.... You've had the most experience you should know what would benefit Tanki and what would not. End of discussion. And you think no one cares if you quite. That's the problem. In Tanki your money they don't care until you quite. Pls stop ruining this topic. Your still not giving any VALID reasons why this is a bad idea. We should just leave it at that, if you don't like something you should be prepared to give VALID reasons to prove your point. Your not giving any reasons..... pls stop this topic won't get shut down. Maybe in a few years, check other topics. Some were created in 2012 and still here. Mods only get rid of topics that server no purpose to Tanki. You saw this idea is already under review, sorry but you just have to deal with it. And again stop ruining this topic its obvious that people don't agree with YOU.
