Unified Battle List and Chat channels

[r_Nives5 15,148]

Everybody, thank you for your feedback and questions, and especially the mods for answering most.

 

There should be no additional lag tomorrow, and our team is prepared to the handle the extra load.

 

Let's wait for the morning together, and we will closely monitor how the new battle list and chat work.

Believe it or not, I think this is pretty cool patch update. But of course, that's what we thought of MMS. We'll have to wait and see tomorrow. The finish 1st place missions 0/2 got removed but not 0/1. Or I was hoping at least it would become at least Finish 1st/2nd

Well this seems like it might be a step in the right direction, except for one thing that has seemingly been overlooked.

 

Players, at least if they want to be competitive, are now going to have look at the profiles of the those at the top of the scoreboard in every battle, to check if they are going to have any chance whatsoever of even destroying an enemy tank, let alone win the game.

 

It is going to be just as tedious as looking through the servers.

 

Case in point, Gizmo's and Legends 1,2,3 may now face a team with 12 Legend 40+'s with M4's and 50% prot mods across the board, and in case you think that won't happen, it just did, on the usually pleasant for low rankers, EU3.

 

As it is, it seems like there are going to be a lot more one-sided games, and an huge increase in game hopping, as players struggle to find one to match their level.

Missions aren't meant to be easy to start with...

Why are missions supposed to be hard,,,just because they are missions?

 

Tanki wants players.  Players want in-game income.  If players don't get income, like from big mission chain payouts, there will be less players.  Tanki tanks.  It will be a small conversion rate to get the current "Free" players to become "Buyers"

 

If I'm right, there will be significantly less players within a month...watch.  If I'm wrong there will be the same number of players.  Either way the game is not improved.

It is already like this - I see the base rank "Legend" in the battle lists. But I can only tell how high they are by clicking on profile.

So that aspect won't change, as I see Legends on server 1-2-3-4-5.... 15. Server # has not really been a factor for a while.

 

However, would be nice if the Legend's had some quick identifier (insignia) as to how many legend levels they have.

You are correct - though I am Legend (1) now, some opponents will have way better Modules with many more MUs (if only due to time).

Completing missions is so boring now, there is absolutely no fun and it's a huge pain in the :bip: -_- Everyday I can't wait to finish my missions to then join pro battles.

Yes that's true enough, but with the current system, the high-rank Legends, at least those who play fair, tend to congregate on Eu2, so you know if choosing that server what you may encounter in some battles, with the new system it is going to make life, harder, for want of a better word.

Well most of the posts so far seem to have been about missions, maybe boring is the wrong word, but some are certainly more long-winded than they were before, as it has become more difficult to complete some of them quickly, and even collecting boxes has become a scavenger hunt sometimes.

I'm just sick to death of seeing a game I really enjoyed playing getting worse and worse and worse with every update...

 

Is there ANYONE that thinks Tanki is more fun today than it was a year or two ago?

[TaffyTank 1,890]

Is there finally a decent battle filter coming 2moro....I'm assuming so, surely we're not just gonna be left with the old battle mode filter for this huge battle list?

Battle filters will remain as they are for now.

[L_E_G_E_N_D 49]

I think this, combined with the random weekend sale marks the fact that the developers know this is the end of Tanki Online. I'm guessing the developers have finally understood the consequences of their greed, and are now trying anything to hold on to the small number of players who continue to be loyal to this game. I remember one time when the servers were so full we were not even able to create a battle. Ironically, now the game has decided to merge all the EU and RU servers and there still isn't enough players in the servers, hence we are going to have 'unified battle lists'. This game had great potential, yet it was wasted simply to increase the cash flow for a short period of time. Now Tanki cannot and will not be great ever again  :(

[TaffyTank 1,890]

Battle filters will remain as they are for now.

Okay, filters need more specific options IMO, but I'll see if the mode filters are good enough for the task.

 

thx.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

I don't really know if a link is allowed but, in light of the new unified battle list (which I think is a terrible idea), I would like you to answer a quick, yes/no/dunno poll in the general discussion section about whether Tanki is more fun now or a year ago:

For me it is interesting only when I am fighting to accomplish a mission goal.

Unified Chat and Chat channels

 

With the introduction of the unified battle list there’s no need to have separated chats for each server, and to make chatting easier, in-game chat will be unified as well - all messages from all servers will be sent to the same chat.

 

Of course, when everyone speaks in the same place at the same time, chatting could be problematic. This is why we’re also introducing thematic chat channels.

 

Instead of the “Chat” button in the game lobby, you will now see the button to choose a chat channel. Pressing on the button will open a list of available channels, and each channel is a chat in itself. As always, you can access chat after the Master Sergeant rank and up. The chat rules and language selection remain the same as before, including public and private messages.

 

With the update released you will be able to access the following channels:

 

• General - analogue of the old chat, you can speak here about anything;
• New Players - shown in the list until you reach Warrant Officer 3;
• Parkour Club - for those who like to touch the sky;
• XP/BP/Other - for the fans of format battles;
• News - discussion about the latest news, discounts and updates;
• Q&A - advice and help from the experienced players and moderators;
• Game Reports - here you can send reports about game violations;
• LF Friends - here you can find new battle and chat friends;
• LF Battle - here you can share battle links and join battles;
• Contests - contests discussion;
• eSports - tournaments, pro-advices and everything eSports;

 

If you have ideas for new chat channels or feedback on the current list of channels - we welcome them in this topic.

yes i have an idea. can we have a channel for everyone from EN, PL,DE and RU? beecause right now i cannot talk pubicly to russian clan mates or polish and german friends. I can write privately but other friends wont be able to see what i'm saying to them.

 

right now when i want to talk to clan mates and members of ally clans i have to change to RU, and when i do that i can't see my friends in EN talking to me and they think i'm ignoring them.

 

also, when i want to talk to 2 friends, one polish and the other german, we have to arrange to meet on either EN, PL or DE. It's not easy arranging something for 3 people when we can only talk to 1 person at a time. and there's always the problem of not being able to see your friends talking to you when you're on another language chat.

 

i really don't see the point of having seperate chats, we play on the same servers and we are like one big community.
