invalid Special map every month

[jdc20181 213]

Currently, the Halloween map is the most used map for the halloween celebrations, and with that, I can only assume that is why we have almost 30k more people playing, than usual.

So why don't we have more of these special maps with specal missions?

 

Not just for the holidays but specials in general. 

 

IK it takes a while to develop a map but if you have a shell of a map you can use that to create special events. 

 

 

Once a month we have a Special map, where you can complete special missions but the map goes away after 48 hours. 

 

Special Holidays could bring like what this map has.

 

I am still brainstorming on what the name of a monthly special map could be like (e.g. Special Map) 

 

But the whole idea is to keep the (screenshot shown above^) the players playing at this rate - Tanki is more fun to play with these special maps - Especially when you get bored.

Look at how many halloween maps there are compared to other maps. If they add this RIP diversity of maps. Its already bad enough since people only want to play on polygon, rio, sepurhov and sandbox.

Well, if this gets implemented, we can all expect great amounts of lag coming our way.

[Duchess 741]

Interesting idea.

 

We did have a lot of fun playing in Halloween, it's new, it's fun and exciting. Especially for those players who have been playing tanki for a very long time as playing in regular maps can be quite boring. A "fresh" map would do us good.

For the start it would be awesome

• if the missions like "get 300 xp in map ___________"
• would focus on 2 maps only; whereby those 2 maps would change every week

By this the tankers would learn a lot more maps, would see how great some of them are.

 

 

 

Today, even if I know that Molotov is great, I can't play on it, as there are no battles for it.

If I create one, it takes a fortune to fill up. Once the players are there, they truely enjoy the map, as it is clever crafted.

 

But there is no point in having good and clever maps, if most players play

- either maps with great crystal income

- or that fill up in seconds

 

 

Daily missions with a roling map scedule would truely give more diversity (<- the magic word !!)

Players would forget about all the other maps and just play on the special maps coz they offer bigger and better rewards and its new. But the fact that it's new is moslty aimed to gizmos.  If they got their average mission, they would probably change it to get the special mission because of the rewards.

Like you have said, making a new map will take a lot of time, and every single month? I think it might be better to focus on updates. I think it would probably be better, - if they have to - to make a new map every major celebration, e.g Christmas, Halloween, etc. Monthly may take too much time, but that is up to the devs to decide, I do not know.

 

There are something like 75 maps already available, and the job should be to get tankers playing on the less common maps. There is a lot of diversity available already, if people just opened their eyes.

Nice idea!

[ToHoYoNTaDa 1,147]

Nice idea!

But this is difficult for game developers to make a new map every month.

 

But nice idea.

Ya sandbox :wub:

Better idea still: evry month, one map from the existing ones is chosen to be Map of the Month with special rewards, etc, for the entire month, or maybe for a specific duration. Rare maps only!

that's exactly what I was thinking

[Aunty_Entity 245]

Aunty's liking this one too,

 

    I think the frequency should be probably the once a month, just rotate through the existing maps and put everyones missions for that week on the same map.  If there are "special" maps that come around from time to time, so much the better, its gives something different to work with.  With the missions perhaps worth slightly more than the current missions, but not as much as special occasion missions.

 

 

* Freq 1/Month

* Existing Maps, odd "special maps"

* Slightly better rewards

 

Lots of Love

How about special events like photoshoots with devs and others could have their own special map. Making a new map every month would take too much time.

[AshsPikachuDwij 1,035]

We can't have such maps so much or the word "Special" won't have its significance left. Still once a month is good but I doubt Devs will take time for making all those new maps.

 

Instead the maps which are underrated should be made special.

For example if there is  an underrated map "X" , on a particular day for 48 hrs, there will be special missions on the map "X" so that people join that map and make it same as getting a brand new map

If I were within your ranks, I'd play Molotov with you! I love that map!

They would have to tame down "Big" rewards for special holidays in order for this to work. 

 

There would be special missions - but not as big rewards to keep it balanced...

hmmmm.... Yea... I mean they could even have a 48 hour special map with an existing one where missions will only be for that map. Say 

 

Earn 300 XP DM Noise Map.

No it wouldn't. 

 

We are talking about  developers who can make 12 special maps lets say in a month. More or less most being nearly the same but with different graphics. 

 

Xmas  - Snow and raindeer and xmas theme

 

You know there is almost at least one holiday in every month. January is aobut the only exception - Not exactly a holiday but we could have one to celebrate seasons also. Such as Spring, and Summer. For example Spring could have snow look like its melting or little to emulate the signs of spring.

 

 

It really wouldn't take long. Again the special map is just a idea to boost players. I mean everyone had fun. 

[I3ANNED 1,693]

It really wouldn't take long.

Try making the map yourself then :P

[oOo_B.L.L.O.A.D_oOo 642]

I dont think thats a good idea. This will make special Days unspecial because we will get used to new maps and mission every month. 

[jdc20181 213]

Try making the map yourself then :P

 

They can do visual changes on maps easily. Taking a Shell map they can pre-make, and changing the "Look" of it isn't that hard  :D

 

Idk flash. I program, but don't know much about flash because its not reccomended to use anymore. Tanki is awesome but the flash component isn't being honored much anymore. Just about the same thing that happen to internet explorer...

[jdc20181 213]

it would only be for 48 hours. Like one weekend a month. Because it made our numbers go above 75k people on. Thats ALOT of players. 

[Strikechard123 241]

they're too lazy to do this, instead the rather to broke the game and make money things

Again you underestimate the work going into the development of a game...
