completed Giving someone overdrive gives you a portion of their exp earnt

[kaisdf 3,320]

Say you use your overdrive, and it gives it to people around you. They go off and use your overdrive to rack up a monster kill streak or capture ALL the flags. 

 

I suggest that you get a small percentage of the exp they gain - so for each kill when they get 10 exp, you get 2 exp, or a flag where they get 100 exp, you get 10 exp.

 

The values could change obviously, and would perhaps need to be adjusted to stop people from just waiting by your flag to overdrive someone about to cap and steal some free exp.

 

It would encourage people who are perhaps a bit more selfish with their overdrives to play to the team a bit more.

 

 

Edit: this would probably be irrelevant regarding some of the upcoming changes to overdrives though...?

Very similar to this idea: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=361469

 

Although I think this version is better, since getting a lot of teammates in range of your overdrive vs actually having those teammates make use of the overdrive are two different things. But on the other hand, a plain +5 EXP per tank affected would probably be easier to implement.

Good luck ! :)

No thank you. What they need to do is remove Overdrive, it makes battles one sided. And if they don't remove Overdrive and implement the other horrible Overdrives, this idea would not work because some of the other Overdrives are not shareable.

i like this idea... some people have 5 tanks around them and they just ignore the whole overdrive and how much they could benefit thier team .. and when everyone leaves or dies they use it only on themselves .... this is so selfish and "stupid" ..

          I do not agree with this idea. I do not agree much with overdrive generally. I play mostly ctf. When I go steal a flag I plan the moment carefully. I know exactly what supply I can activate and when and where, before I start my trip to enemy base. Then suddenly a team mate comes next me and activates the overdrive and all my plan is ruined. And now I have to give him reward for this? Sweet, but, no, thanks.

same here. I don't need your freaking overdrive to capture a flag, you just come up to me and activate it so i have to share my exp with you?? go get the freaking flag yourself if you want exp.

No, you don't share your EXP. You get the same as you normally would, but the teammate(s) that affected you with their overdrive would also get bonus EXP based on what you earn while affected by overdrive. So it's similar to the referral system. You get the benefit of the overdrive and the other person gets a small bonus from your actions.

You don't give him anything. It's an additional bonus. You still earn the same EXP as you normally would.

won't this encourage noobs to join the winning team even more? just go to the top player and activate overdrive and you get 30 seconds of free exp.

 

and if they'll be getting exp from both me and themselves wouldn't that make it easier for them to steal my first place?

 

what if me and 4 clan mates go attack the enemy base and some parasite team mate comes up to us and activates overdrive, he's gonna get exp from all 5 of us for 30 seconds on top of the exp he gets? This would mean that he'll get his overdrive charged up again within no time and he gets to repeat it again and again.

Well, if you play for yourself and don't think about your teammates (and only use overdrive for yourself), then yes :D

 

But I don't think this bonus would be particularly great. Maybe 10-15% of teammates' exp, and only what they earned while being affected by the overdrive. So if you activate overdrive and affect 3 teammates, and each of them then goes on to kill 2 enemies each in the next 30 seconds, you would only get around 10 EXP from that.

 

Although you have some good arguments, so at this point I'm pretty sure it's easier to just give a default EXP rewards based only how many teammates you affect. E.g. you activate it next to 4 players and you get 20 EXP (4x5exp).

the winning team gets to use overdrive more often because it is charged based on exp. because people from the winning stay alive longer, they also get to share it with more teammates.

 

overdrive has already caused battles to get more imbalanced, if you do this then people from the winning side are going to get even more exp and charge their overdrives even quickly.

 

when you activate overdrive, you'd already get a huge advantage both directly and indirectly for yourself, the latter when the teammates you share it with use it to charge their overdrive quicker qnd share it back with you/share it with someone who shares theirs with someone who eventually shares it back with you. This is already more than enough, and i don't feel that you should get exp for something any noob can do. furthermore, it is easier to both share overdrive with more teammates and charge overdrive when on the winning team.

 

I'd also like to add that activating overdrive before a goldbox is about to fall is a complete waste! it won't help your team at all!! if you do this idea people are gonna just run to the drop zone and activate od to get a lot of exp butt do nothing to help their team.

I've seen players with their white star go up to one or two players, sit there until a couple more show up and then activate it. By getting xp from sharing, even though it's a small amount, wouldn't this encourage some players to wait even longer for more to show up so they can get more xp? Or, instead of sharing with one person, they wait until 5 show up and if 5 don't show up, then they just drive off without sharing? Some players are selfish with their OD, I think this would make them even more selfish. More sharing, maybe, but only under certain circumstances, like the number of players who are present to receive "the blessing."

Agreed. This is a refined concept and I like it but the generic 5 EXP distribution to affected tanks would be much simpler to understand/implement.
