planned Add more informative loading screens

[StateFromJakeFarm 1]

I've been playing Tanki for several years and the loading screens have been displaying the same set of messages For years (with little change). They should be updated to show more tips and maybe news/updates.

There isn't really any reason to update the loading screens, since all of them are still relevant. Old ones get removed and news ones are added when needed. Using them to display news is somewhat a good idea, although I think the in-game notifications for news are enough.

That might cause lag, as news/updates come frequently and implementing them everytime would take additional efforts. Would be nice though, more no. of players would be notified about it. To be honest, I don't think anyone barely reads those pictures unless they have endless loading :p

That might cause lag

How the heck would adding a single image to the list cause lag?  -_-

*might* :p

 

It might be that, there is more than 1 news/update to inform about... Which would require 2-3 new images..

I agree with this. Some of those are sooooo outdated, and provided false information.

There's really no need.

 

An additional information is also given by the automated yellow messages in the chat:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And they are really eye catching and useful.

 

The only reason for the change might be a visual appearance. Although, few players really pay attention to whether they are visually outdated or not.
