Friends List, Cheater Reports changes

[Super_Killerking 25]

All the changes are okay and acceptable, except for the friends' list change. Many tankers have been complaining again and again on the chats in and out of battles. They said things like, why have boundaries put on how many friends they have?! Why can't they choose their own friends?! And why after you send a friend request, you can't even see his/her rank?! Now everyone has to go to tanki ratings, type in the same name they sent in their friend request, and check out his/her rank there! Why all these trouble??? Personally, I appreciate all the efforts on trying to improve the game :D, but this issue has gone too far, and I hope that it will be removed. People have also been saying things on chats such as Tanki is a pay to win game, and there are too many unnecessary changes going on in this game. Don't get me wrong, I like Tanki :wub:, but there are a few unnecessary updates and not very pleasant changes to the game. :wacko: :huh: :(I fully understand that tanki has o make money, but i guess it's getting harder and harder to stay alive in battles :(<p>

There's a need for refinements, but I like the Friends List update. Many like to add friends just because they are good at battle, they are druggers or buyers, and that creates a problem because when those friends play against regular players they become a better team just because they made friends with good players. There's also the problem of teams in DM.A limitation to the amount of friends will create more balanced battles.And I think more is needed from the Friend List system, for example:

• There should be a limit of 2, 3 or 4 friends per team in a Standard team battle, depending on how full the battle is.
• Friends shouldn't join opposing teams in Standard battles and in DM there should be a limit of 2 or 3 friends, depending in how full the battle is.
• There should be 24 hour cooldown after you remove a friend for the system to consider that player as not your friend anymore.

That's a lot of changes, and tanki has to go through lots of stuff before releasing those changes. After all, you can't please everyone. Edited December 8, 2017 by CooperO

May I ask why you need 300 friends? Are they really your friends?

[TheGreekGod 2]

I LIKE THAT! NICE WORK TANKI!

Someone said that this was not a problem before and why it is now, that's something to think about, but if it is true that it helps it is okay with me. 

It wasn't a problem in the beginning, because obviously friends lists were still rather empty. Then as time went by, players started adding more and more players to their list. Eventually, this resulted in lags, mostly during celebrations (players complained about their friends list not loading, or taking a long time to load) and from there, it only got worse (since in total, more players get added to friends lists than removed).

Cool

There is an easy way to calculte. The window show 18 friends at the same time. So just scroll and scroll, everytime to the last nickname. And then, X x 18 = your number of friends.

when u have friends over a couple thousands, u will see the pain this is :X

I had the lag issue, but i never opened my friends list during or before entering battle, i never really needed to, and so it didn't matter if i had over even 10000 tanks in my list, as long as i dont accidentally click my friends button during battle and crash as a result :P

There's a need for a counter, like (299/300) or a number for each item.

How ?

[Jan 75]

"to reduce lag and improve server stability"

 

Thats exactlly what has to be done to reduce laggs.

How do I report somebody? I don't know the command to do so.

Reporting an offender in battle

In addition to what Shadow mentioned you can record the hacker and report them in the game violations section: Game violations.

 

Read the Game Violations Section Rules before doing so.

Great job on the jump hacks, I'm not seeing them any more.

 

The next hacks that need to be fixed are the Striker and Thunder aimbot hacks where they can hit you from anywhere on the map.  I've consistently seen different players use these hacks every single day.  

 

It shouldn't be too difficult to isolate because most of these hackers are using the exact same hack.    And the storage system for "/vote"s where the moderators can see how many /votes a player has received is long overdue.  Every battle where there is a hacker 2-3 people vote, which would definitely add up over time to something more than an error in the system.

Could you explain what you mean by that last part?

Do you mean that each name on the list should get a number?

[stanzhang 3,291]

It is not practical to make the search option disappear, especially when you are playing without a mouse, it is impossible to invite your friends quickly to a battle. 

[SiLEnCeR.T0 143]

How do you control with the mouse the screen keep going around like out of control

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

my friend accidentally unfriended me when clearing her list so she could add someone... so she sent me a request but... i had to spend 1 hour to unfriend more than 400 friends until I could accept her request!! T.T and i accidentally unriend 2 people wrongly... not sure if i'm making them waste time clearing their friends list because of that.

Enumerate the lists, like this:

 

1. CooperO

2. Nives

3. Tsy...

 

And at the bottom something like:

 

(3/300) [ Search box ]  [ Send ]          | Close |

Alright this update is good for the friends list but the hacking one, no its getting on my nerves cuz when u get ontop of a tank and getting ready to take that gold box and u just self destruct, or in parkour mode u trying to get on a building and u go up barely and self destruct, u guys need to watch how u do these anti hacks cuz its affecting other players

[lukey0 27,543]

Number 2 ._.

At least you made it to the list ._.

[ll.Basti_1000.ll 2]

I like the update but I wish I could search my friends list to find a friend instead of scrolling through the whole thing.

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

Number 2 ._.

Ladies first, gentlemen second, don't ask about third. ;)

what happens in the case that people report cheaters unfairly just because they are losing? I believe this happen to me a few weeks ago. I do not have any clue on how to modify the game or change any of its code so i can tell you i was not cheating.
