Declined Block flags when one team is empty

[Possibility 282]

Do you have it when you join a battle, and the other person already had the flag, and the second you join, they capture it? Do you hate that?

 

If so, this would be a perfect solution. It would be nice to make it so that nobody could take the flag when it is 1 v 0,  2 v 0, so on because they would cap it. No one likes to start off a battle when the other team has cheated by capturing before the battle is fair. 

 

Thanks

Probably won't be necessary once matchmaking is released, since battles won't start unless the game is full anyway.

will the flags get blocked each time someone leaves? be more specific.

The idea is that flags be impossible to take as long as the enemy team is empty.

Yea, thanks for clarifying that for him.

This will be in Pro-Battles, so you can have it enabled.

And what do you do when all the rats leave a sinking ship and leave you alone on the winning side?  Unless you have timing on you'll never be able to finish.  Even if you're just one flag away

There won't be Pro-battles anymore??

There will be, but for PRO battles it doesn't matter since they are a custom game type where anything should be allowed to happen (within the boundaries of game rules). Although I agree that this would be a nice feature for PRO battles, which is why this idea isn't declined.

Yeah, that's happened to me, too, on my higher acc. You just have to wait it out. Go on another browser and play a game of solitaire or mahjong, Come back to tanki, move your tank around, go back to solitaire or mahjong. Come back to tanki, find your in a different spawning point and the other team has made a flag. Game is on.

After some extra thought, I think this makes sense if it only applies until there are participants on both teams for the first time.  So you can't start before someone else arrives, this allows the possibility of getting a finish if the enemy runs off with its tail between its legs.

Haha

Well what if there is no timer, but just a flag limit and you know no one will join the opposite team?

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

this is a very good sugestion. but i think drop boxes should be blocked as well

Idea is superb, if missions could be completed in 1v1 flag battles then it would be stopped.

I concur. 

 

You don't get mission rewards for capping with no opponents, so just finishing game off is fine if there's no enemy.

Wait then so do I get my crystals back for buying PRO pass? Cause if not then that's kind of a rip off.

No, you won't. The amount of crystals you spend on a PRO pass is pretty small, so it's not a problem if you buy a PRO pass and custom battles become free a few days later. If you really want to not waste crystals like that, just don't buy PRO passes anymore until Matchmaking is released.

I would buy if for August and that's it. No it's not a rip off. You can do lots of fun and cool stuff with it.

If I was you I would leave the battle immediately, because if they have done that, they would also cap when you team is down in number, so you will be cheated again. Leave and create your own battle.

Declined

 

Not relevant in MM, while in PRO battles players are (and should be) free to do whatever they want.
