[Declined] Rework Self-Destruct

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

I know.  I hate teammates who drive under me when i go off a ramp and flip me.  What idiots!  It's so annoying because then someone takes our flag and i can't stop him, being the only one on the noob team who can, because I'm upside down.

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

That's the main reason why the penalty was added.

I used to do a move called the suicide bomber lol, too bad that I lose a kill if I even tried it now.

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Well now let's take it up a few more notches, I'm still seeing ppl self destruct when they are about to die in battles.

I think a bigger penalty should do with exp. If you self destruct, you would lose 100 exp. Maybe even 200 exp. It would be a very harsh consequence, but I think it would be fairly matched with losing 1 kill and 5 points from your score

What about this idea? Is it just gonna get ignored? -__-

 

So not cool -__-

I would self-destruct all the time so I can play with noobs and m0s.

Jumping off the map used to be a very popular way of trolling opponents by preventing them from getting the kill. People would jump off whenever they felt that they are about to be killed and it was an unfair way to give yourself an advantage. Just be more careful when driving around with fast hulls, or use a slower one if you keep losing control.

that is true but the new thing now is to go into battles and when a player is about to kill them they end up leaving the battles and rejoining .. sure they loose out on crystals but that is not what they now are going for its more kill rates getting higher .. so more players loose on this new plan there doing.. when others play by the books in battles...

Well if they want to go through all that trouble just to preserve a high D/L or stop you from getting a kill - their choice. I honestly don't understand why people would do that for such a trivial thing...  :wacko:

i agree .. but there doing it also for the exp so there tanks will be stronger for other battles .. to me if they wanted to do this then go battle pro for exp

Isn't it exactly the opposite? By leaving the battle without waiting for the reward in the end, the player is accumulating experience but not getting any crystals for it. So as a result their tanks end up being weaker than those of normal players.

Now when your opponents realize they will be destroyed, they leave the battle a moment before they are destroyed. And then they quickly return to battle after that.

...And lose all their score in the process.

If someone is losing the CP 100 battle with a score of 00:90 (e.g.), that player really has little to lose.

 

I'm not doing that, but still this is the way that some players are trolling the opponents. Please understand that.

[I3ANNED 1,693]

Before they added the update many players would jump of the map or self destruct just before getting killed.

Well some people have wired networks that they can unplug

A 5 second SD would ruin XP/BP in Tanki Online. Players could easily SD quickly so as to get back up to full health and also recover quickly from flipping.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, there goes Xp/Bp and one of the only reasons I still play this game regularly.

[dan146_tanker 770]

Maybe gaining 2 deaths and losing 0 kills might work better than this idea?

I agree. The best thing to do is just disable SDs in XP/BP.
