Declined Ideas for merging ideas

[D.a.n.t.e 475]

When an idea is somewhat similar to another that was already posted, but not exactly the same, apart from reposting it in the old topic, it should be added as a quote to the first post, including it's tittle. That way it is not lost among all the replies.

 

What do you think?

Declined

 

The thing is, if you post an idea that was already suggested before, then you're basically just posting a comment that adds to the discussion of the idea, so it makes sense to have your topic simply appear as a post in the middle of the topic. Doing what you suggest would result in a mess, since there are popular idea topics which have dozens of merged ideas, and adding every single one to the first post would not only be a lot of extra work, but it would be pointless waste of space.

 

Besides, in most cases the situation could have been avoided if the player simply spent a few minutes checking whether his idea was posted before, so we wouldn't even have to merge it.

 

As for polls - they are disabled in this section due to them mostly being unnecessary. 90% of the polls I've seen here (you can still find them in the archive) were simply "Do you like this idea?"  and "Yes" or "No" for options.

What I mean is for ideas that are not exactly the same.

 

For example the ideas on New Protection System are not exactly the same...

 

First post idea:

 

Alright so there are instead just 11 modules. But people could mix and match them to equip, up to 3 modules.

 

If you decide to equip three, the protection is:

M0- 10

M1 - 15

M2 - 25

M3 - 35

M4 - 50

If you decide to equip two, the protection is:

M0- 13

M1 - 20

M2 - 32

M3 - 45

M4 - 60

If you decide to equip one, the protection is:

M0- 20

M1 - 30

M2 - 45

M3 - 60

M4 - 70

 

I think single and double modules should be buffed anyway even if this never gets implemented, because no one uses them. Triple modules are just better in every way.

 

Merged idea:

 

I propose a new protection system:

 

- The new system should have 4 module(protection) slots.

 

- All new modules should have only 1 protection, like today's single modules. So the total number of modules(protections) you can own will be the same as the number of turrets, plus mines. And the total number of modules(protections) your tank can use at a given time will be 4.

 

- The new modules will probably be a lot more expensive than current single modules, because you'll only need 1 for each turret and 1 for mines.

 

- The maximum protection of each module(protection) should be 40%

 

- You can change your protection setup as if you are changing any other equipment, in no less than 5 minutes. (hopefully 4 minutes, if they decide to reduce that time for all equipment changes)

 

- M0 modules(protections) should be free and have 0%, so you start Micro Upgrading from 0% to 10% for M1, to 20% for M2, to 30% for M3 and to 40% for M3+. or just buy the modification when available.

 

- Tanki should make the current system a Legacy that will no longer be available for purchase, only Micro Upgraded.

 

- You can use your Single, Double, Triple or Quadruple Legacy Modules, like today. But you can't use more than 1 Legacy Module, not even the single ones.

 

- Tanki should also create a storage feature, so you can remove dozens and dozens of modules from your garage to the storage when you get the new modules, if you want to do that.

 

:

As you see they are very different suggestions in what the new system should be, The first post idea is about 3 module slots where you can use three, two or one single module with varying protections if you do so. The single 70% protection possibility should have been enough to deny the idea, just imagine a 1v1 where one of the fighters uses against the other fighter.

 

My idea is about 4 slots and single modules with a maximum of 40% protection. I was really careful with the idea I posted and I think it's balanced well, if merged it should at least deserve to be merged to the first post as well for future new visitors to see and compare both ideas.

 

Another reason for this is for when devs ever decide to visit Ideas & Suggestions, they can quickly review all important ideas in a topic.

 

Now with very similar ideas like the many Gold Box ideas, of course a simple merge would be enough.

 

Thanks.

I think it would be better if we any topics with similar ideas in to the best idea even if the best idea for that area is really late.

That would be perfect, because older ideas doesn't mean they are better. But I think it would be too much work for moderators.
