Nicknames - Turrets and Hulls


Recommended Posts

I always thought that it would be a bright idea to have an interface in Tanki Online where individual players would be able to add personal nicknames to every turret and hull.

 

For example, I call my Freeze turret, Flemish because it has a visual effect of someone sneezing.

 

By having such an interface implemented into Tanki Online, would bring attention to other players in battle because the nickname associated to the turret and hull would be visible to other players.

 

Players would no longer be forced to use the default name such as Freeze, Firebird, Wasp or Mammoth. They would choose their preferred nickname to each of their purchased turrets and hulls.

 

This nickname feature interface for turrets and hulls would function in a similar way as when creating a new Tanki Online account by typing in a new nickname, but for turrets and hulls, the nickname would be changeable to an infinite amount of times and players would be able to use the same nickname for turrets and hulls over and over again without getting an error message saying "That nickname is already used by another player" or else.

 

Please explain to me below what do you think about this turret and hull nickname feature.

Thank you for your idea.

I assume you like to have it shown in the R-view, that displays the details of tanks and equipment over the tanks in battle). So there you have to keep the original name like "firebird" and you have to add the nickname "Your friendly Tank Toaster" as well.

IMHO it would fill up the interface even more, while it gives not additional benefit to players. It is a personalization feature, and you could earn some laughter with some creative nicknames.. but I think that the developers have more urgent work at their hands for the next year at least. On the other hand it is maybe too less of a funny thing to be sold (which could make it rank up in the developer priority list).

I also do not know how to moderate inappropriate nicknames without additional workload for the already overloaded battle admins.

Plus, everyone would nickname their Vulcan Mr. Spock!

I can see that you folks have many good ideas on giving your turrets and hulls cool nicknames.
I hope that my idea shall be implemented into Tanki Online someday.

 

Dirty bomber is a good nickname but it suits Magnum better due to the large radius and the splash damage.
My Freeze turret is called Flemish because it has a visual effect of someone sneezing.

 

How about giving nicknames to turrets and hulls that only shows up in the garage and players profiles in the Achievements Page.
This will reduce the clutter in Tanki's interface.
What do you think?

I like it, and it's more suitable to be implemented by the devs.

Thumbs up for you!

Btw, why the necessity of making multiple posts instead of writing everything within only one?:ph34r:

Thanks for agreeing to my new post above.

 

By the way, I have discovered today that M3 Firebird helps me win battles with a score of at least 40 kills per 15 minutes DM round, using Double Damage.

Isida can be a cool, gorgeous girl that can heal your butt during extreme crossfire war battles. Yeah, I do understand that Isida can be associated with girls, so you can call it love gun, or heal gun.

I would name my Isida Life-saver. I have saved many lives with it on   :D And I do enjoy it when I manage to save someone just before he is destroyed by Firebird's burn.
