Bring back language servers


Recommended Posts

 

I think at least one of us has misunderstood something. I'll try to explain my point better:

  • Before the server unification, there were servers for each of the 4 communities. You could go into a battle on EN servers and expect players to speak English there. However, due to the lack of players from communities other than the Russian one, it was hard to find a suitable battle since there were less people to play with and thus battles took much longer to fill up.
  • Devs united RU, EN, DE and PL servers into one list. This mixed players of all languages into the same battles - bad for communication. But this also put all players on the same servers and in the same battle lists - good for gameplay, since a larger "player pool" results in battles filling up faster.
  • Devs did NOT add anything to help overcome the language barrier, YET. This simply isn't a high priority problem at the moment as they are finishing off HTML5, Matchmaking, etc., which are far more important. Once those are done, it's likely that something will be implemented to improve communication.
  • That something is likely to be a "chat wheel" kind of thing, where you select a phrase from a list of pre-determined phrases and it displays to each player in their preferred language. That way you can easily and effectively send common battle commands to other players.

 

Tanki gets a lot of hate. I see players hating all over, whether it being it's YouTube or forum. Tanki's basically doing the opposite of what players want. Hence why no more than 29k players online. Tanki needs to do things that make players want to play and not just rage quite. Otherwise yes you will have less players in communities. But yeah I see what you're trying to say. I have nothing more to say  :mellow:.

I have a better option, instead of making phrases that will never succeed to make enough for players they make one server for every language. Better than having a mass of empty servers with no communication.

amd what about those of us who speak multiple languages? or those of us who aren't russian but are in russian clans?

You're joking right?

Choose a server

i could. but i surely wouldnt want to. server merging was one of the best days of my tanki life. server merging day no.1: me and my clan beat the crap out of all the english players in every battle, regardeless of whether or not we won or lost we still gave most of them k/d lower than 0,1. Battle chats were full of americans crying... they seemed so shocked anf horrified that the no kill when gold falls rule didnt apply to russians...

You know, you could always just go to english servers from the russian site and there would be the same battle chat. All they did was double the amount of servers for english people and add a horrible language barrier for everyone.

I'm not russian, just in case you thought so. I log in from the english site too. The language barrier doesnt bother me, most people talk rubbish anyway. I didnt even speak russian at that time, i onky started to learn afer server merging. What i do like about server merging is that i get to beat the crap out of all those americans who call me noob with my clan.

And you could always do that. This update changed nothing.

Oh here we go again...

Tanki is losing players not because of "bad updates", but because they stopped advertising the game and attracting new players back in 2015. Now they're improving the game and making it more suitable for a large inflow of new players.

I think people are misuntderstanding what I'm saying....

 

seperate servers for battle and chat

 

EVERYONE - same battle servers.

 

EN]

RU] -  1 chat server dedicated to each language.

ES]

 

So no matter what server you're on EU 1..99999 you'll always get the same language in your server chat panel, until you tell it otherwise. ES is just a guess as the third most populous language it could well be any other language.

Overwatch and Dota 2. There's also some other small multiplayer games, though those are less relevant.

 

Club Penguin had it  :ph34r:

Uhm... what are they? Never heard of any of them :huh:

I'm talking about HERE..... Its just a suggestion for third language on a dedicated server of its own.  I do also mention it was just a guess. EN and RU are no brainers, the third could be Hindi, Arabic, or gibberish... I don't know what the third biggest language here on tanki is. 

 

I would have thought it would save resources by taking some of the traffic load away from the battle servers too.

 

Benefits of this system include -

 

Centralised Chat Servers

Less maintainence

Admins only need keep an eye on one or two servers not 24

Users will get chat in their primary language

Bandwidth used by chat can be returned to Battle Server bandwidth

Anything else I can't think of right now :)

How many players are online at the exact moment you are reading this post? For me there's 29k players online. 29 859 to be exact. But ok.

Well, have you heard of this thing called "Google"? From what I recall it's pretty useful for when you don't know something :rolleyes:

Why does it matter how many are online right at this moment? Point is, the number of players has decreased drastically because old players leave and new players aren't being brought in to replace them.

Well then, your russian clan is a bunch of idiots that dont know how to change servers.

why change once in a while when we can beat them up every moment they're in the game. why go to the gym to use a punching bag when you can have a punching bag at home.

 

and obviously they do know how to change servers, otherwise they wouldn't have found and recruited me 3 weeks before the merging.

 

and most russians do speak english, that's what they spoke with me before i learnt russian; they just don't see the point in communicating with you, i wonder why
