Invalid Allow creation of standard battles with the PRO pass

[ByeByeBye 1,756]

This is a suggestion...it is a suggestion for TankiOnline, therefore I hope it stays in the "Ideas and Suggestions" section of this forum instead of being relegated to "Developers' Information" by being merged with a related topic "Changes in the battle creation system".  It is related but it is a SUGGESTION and I would like to see it treated as such....considered by the powers that be, and possibly answered in a reply:

 

Problem:

I tend to play in non-peak hours and it has gotten difficult to find a decent battle since the implementation of the Pro Pass situation.  The pool of players at any given time is now divided into different parts...regular players and pro players with the later creating battles with even more stratification; 999 minutes/10minutes, drugs/no drugs, etc.  The result of all this is that it is much more difficult to play on a map you like even when holding a Pro Pass.

 

Possible Solution (Suggestion):

One patch that might help this situation and might even motivate more players to invest in Pro Passes would be to allow Pro Pass holders the ability to create all the different types of Pro Battles AND allow then to create REGULAR battles also.  If there were too few pro players on a server the Pro Pass holder could create a normal 15 minutes standard default battle on any map he wished allowing both pro and non pro players to join.

 

This would keep the Pro Pass exclusive and give the Pro Pass holder an additional bit of status (probably not exactly the right word).

Unlikely that this will be implemented. Main reason is that developers want standard battles to fill up quickly, but if players are creating a bunch of their own maps, then over half of them will be empty and players using the Battle! button will be disappointed when they are sent to a half-empty map, which doesn't fill up. Not to mention that it will ruin the amazing map diversity we have now, thanks to that update.

This should be implemented. I see no reason why the Battle! button users cannot leave and try again or even have a stay/leave option.

And thanks to that update, there are fewer maps compared to before, which is a issue in itself. If someone without pro pass cannot join a battle to get crystals to buy a pro pass to join a map? Are they expected to buy crystals? Earn them super fast? Unlikely scenario, but if there is something stopping them from earning crystals, then they wont earn crystals.

 

Perhaps a large number of preset battles, both pro and non pro, which keep renewing themselves, even without players?

Whenever there are too less PRO battles, I simply join the on going regular battles. Imo, if I create a regular battle, I'll have to waste more time waiting for players to join it and basically, it will negate the whole update. There's no reason why PRO pass holders should be able to create regular battles while non pro users cannot.

you are just asking to bring the game to how it was.

it won't happen since developers did this so the BATTLE button will come in use.

Games going to die if you can't create battles standard or pro. Thats how it used to be and needs to go back to that. I used to have the option to create either a pro battle or just a regular one. This is a great idea thanks for posting.

The problem is there are less players now than there were before the "Battle Button"...I would venture a guess at about half.  Most of the time you can look at the server list and the load is miniscule.  Only peak play times is there enough players to generate battles.

 

If you take half the players then split them again into pro/non-pro battles there are even fewer decent battles due to number of players being reduced.  Then,  take all the pro battles and split them into many different types of battles and what you get is 999 minute or even 120 minute battle and even the default time is 30 minute battles where the few players that are left come and go making a very unexciting battle experience most of the time.  

 

POINT:

If a pro player could make a non-pro battle he could at least create a map of his own choosing and it would fill up faster since both pro and non pro players could join.  There would be a better chance of quicker battle fills since there would be a larger pool of players; all players pro/non- pro could join.

 

Like you, I also join standard battles since the pro-battle thing is boring and semi-hopless in terms of actually getting a real battle going that doesn't last six hours.  The problem is that even as a pro pass holder I can't play on the maps I wish....so if I could create a standard battle on a map of my choice it would have a better chance of filling faster.  Standard players could be sent to it by the Battle Button and anyone could join if they wished pro/non-pro.   

 

This is a compromise patch that might help Tanki regain some of its lost players without losing face.  It is a good solution to a growing problem...not enough players.

I think that tanki should create it so that it is possible to make battles without pro battle pass :)

[Queen.Rain 213]

I also suggest that tanki should make it so that it is possible to create normal battle even though you have pro battle pass or premium!

No longer applicable due to implementation of Matchmaking.

 

Idea invalid. Closed.
