Category Ideas for Clan System!

[Princeps 13]

Give clans a weekly ranking similar to the player rankings that would show a clan's total experience, kd, etc. over a week and display clan rankings clearly here https://ratings.tankionline.com/en/ and / or on clan profiles.

making clans more interactive such as trading supplies, donating low amounts of crystals and being able to send gifts such as containers

[PeterParker 6]

There has been no substantial change in the Legion system in a few years, and his current function is just adding a [XXXX] in front of the name. When we join a legion, there is no sense of honor, because the design of the interaction between members of the legion is not at all, we can only chat, which is a very backward design. So I have some ideas.

• Add the function that members of the legion can like each other, or some similar emotional expressions, such as，，
• There is a gifting function, and there are unique gifts among clan members.
• Can display equipped GS
• Increased clan rewards. This is a complex project, and I'll just state my current thoughts. You can set personal points, and you can earn points by completing each game, completing tasks, and teaming up with legion members to complete the game. Set rewards. When you have a certain amount of points, you can get some legion rewards, which can be daily or weekly. Set the ranking of points within the clan, these rankings are only for display.
• Clan ranking, you can add up the points of everyone in the clan to get the total points, and then compare with other clans. There is no valuable reward for ranking, or there is no reward, because the strength of the current legion is too disparate.
• Legion hegemony. Different from the competition, this mode is just a duel between 2 clans, you can get points in this way, or you can display how many duels this clan has participated in, how many times it has won, or how many times it has lost on the clan page.

This is part of the thinking about the Legion system. The current legion is too monotonous and lacking vitality. I think you should pay attention to the social interaction between players. This is a team game, but the social attributes of the entire game are too few, so most of them are played separately. Strengthening the communication between players can also avoid the loss of certain players, and the change of the legion can also increase a certain amount of daily activity, but one very important point is not to increase the burden on the players, which should be paid attention to in all games.

There are plans to improve the clan system, but they have been postponed in favour of more urgent updates.

This defeats the purpose of clan battles, because if this was to be implemented, there would be sabotages from other clans joining your team in a clan battle

Then perhaps instead, it could be a request system, where anyone can request to join a team in a clan battle, and then the highest ranking member of which ever clan is on that side can choose to accept or deny the person. This could also allow individual players who are friends to join in clan battles without being in the clan. I'm thinking about little notification windows, such as when another person invites you to a battle, but it could be better to have another small button in a top corner of your screen that would open a separate window that shows everyone requesting to join your side of the battle as that way the requests wouldn't quickly expire if that player was busy playing at the moment the request was sent and couldn't accept instantly. It could also prevent sabotaging from someone spamming the request button to continuously send notifications to block your screen or hide other players' requests to join.

While I believe this has the potential to be abused, such as sending crystals to a very low-rank account from numerous other accounts, thus ruining the balance of low ranks, I believe if managed properly, this could be a great idea. Currently, I know numerous clans that do giveaways and contests, etc for their members, however the main limitation of these self-organized events by clans is the rewards they can give out as only some shop regions accept gift cards, and promo codes are quite difficult to obtain unless you are a Tanki YouTuber. Being able to send gifts such as containers or even just letting high-ranking clan members purchase promo codes to gift prizes would allow clans to do more with their self-planned events.

This could also be great for the clan's management to see the activity levels of each of its players and perhaps reward more active players were certain ranks.

A clan ranking would be great, especially for players looking to join a clan as they can easily distinguish between active clans and clans that will die out within a few weeks. I do believe that there should be rewards for these rankings tho, even if its just some amount of supplies sent to the members of X number of top clans and maybe unique paints for the Top 3 ranking clans that every member of the clan gets for the month, and then the next 3 most active clans get the paints for the next month and so on. In order to prevent the clans that have the most players such as a YouTubers clan with thousands of players from always ranking first, it could be a sort of ratio of total activeness per player in the clan, and then you would need say 20 members in your clan to qualify so that there are actual clans in the rankings and not just 1 person who made a clan by themself to then get the highest activity rating per player in the clan.

social interaction between players

I honestly dont think that this is too important, as the majority of clans just create a clan discord server which works quite well. It would be nice to have a bit more than just a clan chat or at least upgrade it though.

@MafDo these plans still exist, and is there a rough date or year for when they are perhaps planning on releasing it. I know currently they are working on the mobile version in HTML.

Well, there was that one clan update that added the option to increase number of members. In my opinion, it was extremely disappointing for a "clan update" and pretty much none of the other requested features were added. But I have no idea when there will be another update to clans, if ever.

that............. is very tragic. Like practically every week, I get asked "What are the benefits to joining a clan", and it's always a struggle to answer.  Clans are rly nth more than a community, and that's only good if the people in it are friendly and active. There's no guaranteed benefit besides a tag by your name and access to a clan chat tab that gets like maybe 1 message a week.

That's why I joined a clan for like 1 month back in 2017, then left and never joined another clan again. To me it's only a downside, because I end up with an ugly tag in front of my name.

Right now, only clan leaders can buys clan member slots. However, i don't see any reason why isn't this allowed for every clan member (or for the members that have x role). Being able to add more members to the clan is definetely good for the leader, and nevertheless, if he doesn't want that, he can just restrict people from joining the clan. Also, adding this would be good for devs as well, as more people could spend tankoins on this, generating income for them.

[Maf 32,300]

Well, it took them 5 years to implement expanding clan capacity at all, so... I think 2030 sounds promising for this idea!

At the very least pass this idea on. I lead a clan on one of my accounts, but I refuse to buy any slots myself to expand the clan. I got various members that are more than willing to expand, let them be able to buy slots as well

[Hypersomnia 1,695]

Can't wait to add random people in my clan then after they buy me slots i just kick them. the idea is very abusable when used against new players that likely will be gullible since they don't know much about the game. 

even if you only allow this to Supreme-Commander and Commander ranks it still can be easily abused like that since SC can just make a random guy commander and after he buys you slots he'll just kick you.

I think you might struggle to find a gullible new player, who also happens to have over 2000 tankoins and is willing to join random clans.

The idea itself is understandable, but Imo, we should be rather more focused on providing clans actual usefulness still, that would probably be in another thread already I guess.

 

In the past before slots even existed, many made clans with similar tags anyways.  I myself made around 5 clans on alt accs of a similar tag for a bunch of friends then, would like to merge the clans but not bothered since then.

 

I would have assumed that the devs intend the clan slot option to be limited to the clan owner, which makes sense in general but I haven't played many games aside a few basic games that have a restricted clan member limit to roughly say 50 on majority of them, so the matter of increasing members wasn't really there, just a hard limit.

[Helios 720]

Clans have so much more potential, such as clan rewards, clan challenges, clan missions.
Adding more customization to clan profiles, giving members colored nicknames based on roles.
Option to have clan paints, clan flags or even a sort of clan war bounty system.

There are a quite a few clans that have a discord server or have a community, or at least the members know a bit about each other, and I highly doubt that the leader would kick members who bought slots in these clans. 
Personally i wouldn't buy member slots for a leader i don't even know, and if i wanted to join a clan while i have some spare tankoins, i'd just rather make my own clan intead of buying slots in a random one. By the way if this ability is restricted to higher ranks and you, as the leader is trying to get randoms to buy slots for you and then kick them, they can abuse this as well as commanders could modify your clan and even kick everyone out of it.

Of course i'd be happy as well if clans got new, useful updates, but i think the devs didn't find out yet which clan features could be implemented well into the current game without changing it too much. Also it looks like they are focusing on other stuff now, many promised updates to pro battles didn't came out either. This idea would be easy for them though, they only need to change which roles have access to the already ready function.
