[Declined] Reverse Self-Destruct

[Threaten 7]

I have a new suggestion Tanki should adopt. Here's a scenario. It's a really intense game and you have full supplies but you flip. You press the self-destruct button as you don't think you'll get on your tracks but a teammate help you get back up but your 10-second countdown is still running and you die. This is were my idea will come in handy. If you press the delete button again it will reverse the self destruct so you go back to normal again, not about to self destruct.

You see, self-destruct is a feature to be used carefully. It's not merely for self-destructing if you're flipped, there's more to it.

 

It's a choice a player makes which has no return. It's meant to be that way.

+1 @DarkOperative ths one i agree to....YOU pushed the button YOU must deal with the consequences.

Yes please add this! There has been so many times when i accidentally pressed that button ( my delete button is right next to my space bar) that its ridiculous and very annoying

Shouldn't your computer have settings in which you can configure the layout of your keyboard (like assign your delete button to a different key)? Us Mac users have it easy, we have to press fn+delete to self-destruct, so we won't make the mistake of accidentally pressing delete :P But I guess you could also say it's more difficult, since you have to press more keys and the fn key is in an inconvenient spot..  :huh:

Top marks for confusing yourself, but I think my delete in the corner of my screen is best.

   

I do like this idea, but I guess, it's meant to be like that.  :blink:

Where did I "confuse myself?"

This was suggested before. Developers either didn't get to implementing it yet or they don't want this to be a feature.

We should be able to terminate the self destruct countdown because sometimes we flip back over and can't do anything to stop ourselves from being self-destroyed. We should be able to press delete again to terminate self-destruction. Otherwise, we needlessly lose 5 points, 1 kill and gain an extra death

I always wanted this! I play XP/BP as much as I breath, and due to me using Wasp 99% of the time, I get flipped on my sides or upside down quite a lot, and so I have used to pressing Delete AS FAST as possible to not waste time upside down. But most of the times I am able to flip back, so I just wasted so much time by re-spawning. So I definitely want this to be introduced.

 

Tho, I can see how this can be abused. For example, I press delete in the game (XP/BP) so I have full health when he attacks back, but I manage to kill him before he kills me, and so I just cancel the deletion and be able to continue playing without re-spawning. Just one of the ways I think this can be abused.

This will definitely never be implemented, however developers did say that there are plans to add an indicator that shows others that a tank has initiated the self-destruct countdown. This should solve all problems associated with teammates wasting their time flipping you when you are about to die anyway, while for the rest of the situations - you just have to be more careful when you are deciding to self-destruct.

Hello, 

I have an idea that would improve the tanki game mode...

 

IDEA: Tanki Online should have a key that cancels self-destruction

 

WHY: Because some players press it accidentally  (for example on a save the gold) and when you are flipped but, your friend successfully helps you.

Maybe press delete 3 times quickly to activate the red do-not-press button in your tank? That way if you press if once or twice accidently, nothing will happen.

 

Or, we could have a penalty for reversing your self destruct. If you press the stop self destruct key, you get a 5 second extra penalty the next time you flip. So if i press delete one time and then disable it, the next time i self destruct it would take 15 seconds to self destruct for the rest of the battle and so on and so forth.
