invalid Big change to lobby

[01.07.03 59]

Hello Tanki!

I have an idea for a lobby update. Here it is: Make lobby a big battle with its own dedicated server(So other servers aren't affected). No battle format and no XP or crystals earned. Just a bunch of people driving around looking at each others tanks. This lobby can be accessed by clicking a button in the normal lobby. The button will send players to a random map with other players. The chat displayed in this lobby will be the same as the normal lobby.

I think this would make tanki a lot more fun. Its a big idea, and it can be expanded by the developers. Please think about it!

Valid

Interesting idea, but it's very unlikely that this will ever happen. It will be fun to try once, but after a while no one will visit the lobby because it just takes a lot longer to load. People would much rather click and enter battles the old-fashioned way.

People stay in the lobby to not be in a game. Having a game of tanki in another tab tends to lag the **** out of anything else you do.

Cool but not cool

Nah. Never needs to be implemented.

 

Dedicated or not you get lets say 5k  players in that lobby we could have a large crash. Maps have a limit for a reason. And that reason is even if its a 20 or 2 limit the highest limit for a map is set because of the size, and well it would have to be about 30X the largest map in tanki (idk which one that is lol) And trying to find each other would be nearly impossible. Plus why do I want to go in battle when I login

 

Its a good suggestion. Not saying its bad. It just wouldn't work . 

[Maf 32,333]

It might be fun though to have just a singleplayer lobby (with server chat though), where you can drive around. Other players wouldn't be there, so there will be little to no strain on the server as it won't have to communicate your tank's data (location, velocity, etc.) to other users.

 

Totally unnecessary though and I would much rather see more useful features get implemented.

Lol wooden computers will be crashed, it's interesting but with issues. The old lob y is still good.

I think I like the lobby the way it is now: simple, beautiful, convenient, flexible, less lag, and a whole lot less strict :)

So, Tanki is slowly dying. We need some ideas to keep that from happening. Not just the casual idea for making the game more balanced or adding in a feature such as over drive. That's not special. It's like pressing 1 - 5 but no blue affect to give away your position.

 

We need things to make tanks invisible/transparent, or different types of mines. Leagues, futuristic looking hulls/turrets that you could swear come from another planet. I'm talking a huge overhaul to really change things up.

 

Like when you enter the game, instead of the lobby with chat, and battle list, it'll be a menu. Not just one with a couple selections and the boring grey background. Like, the background could be 3D, with your tank shown in some sort of field, the camera spinning slowly around it in different angles. Off to either side could be the selections of "Play," "Garage," "Forum," and "Tanki Wiki."

 

The "Play" and "Garage" buttons should be squares with little animations. The forum and Wiki ones with a neat picture.

 

When you click play, you're brought to a server, a lobby, where you can drive your tank and chat with other users, but can't shoot. This lobby should be really unique, like a huge in-door area with a three story high ceiling and a couple different levels.

 

In this lobby will be a "Shop" where you can browse and buy items with in-game currency or paid-for items. You drive up to it, you appear in a work shop area where you can freely view your tank, and can change the hulls and turrets, paints, modules and alterations and buy them if you like.

 

There should be a board with the servers and when you choose one, you are brought to the lobby of that server.

 

A main door should lead to an outside area with a main entrance. When you go through, you are given an option to go back to "Go back to menus" or "Go battle."

 

If you choose "Go battle," a list will then pop up With all the battles going on in that server that you can join. Upon choosing one, your tank with disappear and the loading screen will appear and you enter the battle. When you enter the battle, You're given an overview of the map and what's going on. You have a list to "Go to Garage," "Choose team," or "Leave this battle."

 

Although this should be the only thing different in battles - when you join you get this menu. When you die, you spawn or click garage before you spawn if you want to change your stuff as normal. Now, if the teams are unbalanced, it will automatically put you in the team with less players.

 

When you leave the battle, you appear back in the lobby.

 

Also, in the battle list, each player should have an image of their current tank.

 

Another thing...this game needs more advertising. I never see Tanki on the internet.

Your main idea about playable lobby is a duplicate (I merged it into this topic that has the original idea), while the rest either belong in category topics like "Ideas for Supplies", or have been posted before. Please stick to the rule: one topic - one idea.

This is basically parkour mode.

[Hex 11,522]

Self-explanatory. 

 

As far as I know right now (and after testing it in Test server), the matchmaking system will take a certain amount of time before gathering all the players and sending them into a battle. In this time, there could a be live area where all the players can roam around, shoot and talk to each other freely in real time, while waiting for the battle to start. 

 

It could have obstacles, parkour-related props and etc. to make it beautiful and not too simple.

Tbh, this is basically just Parkour. No EXP/crystals, just random people driving around.

Before a matchmaking battle starts, and that's basically what this random area is. Instead of waiting like for certain time, people can have fun in that area and so on. Many games have it.

You are correct, Minecraft servers specifically. They normally have 'parkour'. It would be a great thing to have in Tanki.

Parkour in Tanki? Dude, that's ridiculous. Tanks are massive machines that often weigh over 1000 tons each. How do you expect them to jump over fences and climb walls??!?!

Laughing so hard  :D  :D  :D youtu.be/x92xBYmDBpU also watch the top tower in Rio get scaled youtu.be/ZEAAd33Qxz0

Also they have already implemented Parkour as a pro battle format

Something's telling me that you missed the joke.

[HAPPSHOT 2,029]

not possible

I think it would be fun only IF There can be new structures or secret areas or new type of buildings which are not included in the normal battles. But if not that the lobby thing would be useless. But i think the ideas is great and the developers should have look on it  :)  :)  :)

I have one simple idea about making waiting lobby. It could be used as a proof on what type of players want to join certain map. It doesnt have to do anything with the map so it makes more lag or anything, just like a preparation screen where you are able to choose which team you can follow. And this can be seen from battle by pressing certain button. Like if some big rank waits to join, you can please your team mate to leave so you stand better chances of winning. If some popular ( not necceserly but some name you heard thats good at some map like Poly CP and you think he could be good ) tanker goes into waiting lobby you stand chances of getting him in if you open up a space. Maybe

I think that there should be a large map where players can talk about things. The old lobby would stay for people who want to chat in the battle list. But there should be a map called "Chat City" where the only thing you should do is chat. You cannot higher or lower you K/D because everyone is on the same team, and even if you self-destruct your K/D doesn't chat. Same with kills, you cannot kill anyone. You can't use supplies or golds either. The maximum amount of people per room is 30, to keep down lag. The room is for players ranks from sergeant to legend (main room) and recruit to legend (10 people max) (for noobs that need assistance). The only thing that is like normal battle in the chat room is that you can see other people's tanks. You can also change your tank if you want. 

 

Map: Chat City

 

It is a large map with components from almost any map. It has ramps and buildings, has parts with snow, parts with summer, parts with space. It is mostly flat in the middle besides a crater. It doesn't exactly have a theme, just different kinds of buildings, trees, and features. It would be fun to explore with friends, as well play hide n seek.

 

That's it! "Tank" you for your time!  :lol:
