invalid In-Game "Emails"

[hiDashiell 47]

Sometimes I want to leave a message to my friends who play Tanki Online who I don't see every day or who live on the other side of the country (I live in the U.S. so the other side of the country is very far). Nobody can play Tanki 24/7, and nobody should. It can be hard for me to get a chance to talk with them, because they live in a different time zone (one of my friends lives in Hawaii; its a pain to get in contact with him). By leaving a message for him that can be read at any time, its so much easier to talk to him. Now, if you are going to decline this here because of the opinion that it would turn Tanki into a social media website, I don't believe so. The main chat bar is worse than this idea. Many people would just check their messages and reply to them. It would only take them five minutes at the most. And there will always be people who go too much over the top on things, and nobody can stop them. Thank you for looking at my idea, whether you end up declining it or not. :)

Use badges....

[Jack_Fehran 34]

Gifts are there.

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Use badges....

you really wanna spend 200 or more every time you wanna send someone a message? no

[DageLV 940]

Ford if you don't want to spend 200 for each email, I'm not sure but I think there was official Tanki forum but I'm not sure about it. If there is then I'm sure you can pm anyone who you want. You can search for thi forum in Google maybe you can find it. Not sure.

[BLASTER872 1,892]

You could use social media (skype) or forums.

 

However, even though there's not a pressing need, it shouldn't be that hard to get out and it'd be so awesome. I personally will not benefit (cuz I spam my clan in slack lol) but this is 3p1c idea.

Don't you pay for mail in real life? what is 200 when you think about it, 1000 for 5 messages seems pretty decent for me each  350 characters. Specially for generalissmo who earn crystals doing nothing at all, the gift system is pretty reasonable. If you don't want to or can't spend it then there is always a forum, I don't see the point of this update when we are still missing a lot of important things. 

[Ninja 10,468]

We do need this, especially for non-forum users.

Eh, low rankers though. Still you won't type 350 characters and if you need to get the word out about something #RipWallet2016

 

Yes, there is a forum, which nobody ever uses.

 

And generalissimos aim for M4s. That's why Commander and Gissimo has such a huge difference. Commanders can ban gissimos from their battles for example the 10M guy who has every M4. But Gissimos, even the 1.4Ms, have to play with them 10Ms if they come along.

 

And TO isn't real life :P

Isn't the Forum a type of email? Its very similar and if you have a Tanki Online account you have a Forum account. I don't see the point of making a Tanki email when you already have one. Try to PM members they get your message the same way as email, except its much easier to use.

I looked around a bit for this, and could not find any previous topics with this idea.

 

The problem: Getting a hold of groups of players is nearly impossible to do without a lot of effort. You have to either catch them online, hope they are frequently on the forum, or spend 200 crystals to send a gift with a message.

 

The solution: Messages can be sent to offline players. When they get online, they will get a popup notification that they have a message, and can then read it. Of course, they can be turned on and off. Each message will have no cost, but there needs to be some restriction against spamming (can't send more than 3 without a reply, perhaps).

 

This would make getting in touch with clan members with an important announcements like 10x easier. Not everyone checks the forum all the time, so the only way to contact them (10+ people) is to catch them in game. This tactic is often unsuccessful. I'm not gonna spend 2k cry just to notify them of something.

It could be better a secret Chat between in-lobby and in-battle tankers

[Mister.Sister 3,574]

I dont see how this is an issue since you can just PM someone on the forum.... From anywhere in the world for free. (If you forget about the internet charges if you pay for it or its free using Mcdonalds WIFI :ph34r: )

First off this is not what you think, this has nothing to do with the game chat or main menu chat. But, ive got this idea i think could really be helpful for a lot of players. What if you the developers add in some kind of in game email system? Like when i need to tell someone something like "hey man im getting off see you later"  or " Hey im getting  off be on tommorrow around 5pm so we can play" But hes in a game and i cant join, what am i suppose to do? Just get off and not tell him? Yeh, i could do that but what if i need to tell him i will be on vacation for like a week or 2 and wont be on? Simple solution would be add in some kind of in game email system, where lets say i got to my friends list and click his name and there is an email option and click it and you can type maybe a short 50-100 character message, obviously there would be rules just like the game chat too. So i can tell him even if hes in a battle i just email him a short message saying "Hey man im getting off see you tommorrow, be on around 3pm". Now you might be thinking just invite my friend to a battle but wait what if me nor my friend has a pro battle pass? Then thats useless and you cant create one and who knows how long it would take to find a battle where me an my friend can join. Plus, what if my friends doing really good in a battle wheres hes at the top of the scoreboard and will get a lot of crystals from it? I cant take that away from him, it would be selfish and messed up. This email system should no doubt be apart of this game.

The idea was for an email, and email is free
