Hi, everyone! :)

 

For the next V-LOG, we'll try something new — developers will answer most common questions from the players!

 

If you'd like to ask about the War, current or future updates or give general feedback on Tanki, you can >>here<<

sorry Nives but this has been done before and also where are they getting the questions from. the ones we normally see seldom get answered , and there has been a lot of the years .

would like to hear what the future holds for tanki ? also just wondering are u leaving tanki ?

I think that's how the new flag locating indicator thing will work, tho I might have misheard it. I haven't been corrected yet so I assume it works like so,....

If anyone has the flag = doesn't show where flag is

If anyone doesn't have the flag = location of flag is shown through any obstacle

 

Here's a couple of scenarios that this change effects, every relatively experienced player would have experienced these in battle.....

 

Towards end of a draw battle, your team is bringing a flag back to base and a lone light hull enemy is escaping with your flag. Teammate Heavy long-ranger one-shots the enemy flag-bearer somewhere in the middle of a big map that only the long-ranger that rekt the flag-bearer knows, then begins the hunt for the flag. Currently you'd return the flag with some element of communication, knowledge or pure luck. Returning that flag is a battle winning situation, where's the challenge if the flag location is shown? It also makes it very easy for the enemy to get to that flag if they happen to be closer.

 

Another scenario.......2 of your team is hiding with the flag. Flag-bearer supported by Isida. One enemy comes along and takes out isida and flag-bearer, but gets destroyed by a teammate before enemy gets a chance to return the flag. At this point every single enemy will know exactly where the flag is. Any teammate that then picks up the flag is at a huge disadvantage, any direction they run to hide to is very likely to be spotted, definitely if your team was under almost constant attack. The Isida and the guy that originally held the flag can chase to support....but the advantage they held of being one of few that knew where the flag was is gone.

 

This is especially bad for teams that are getting overrun, but are putting up a brave fight using battle smarts. For a clan takeover it takes away just about the only challenge that might prevent them from winning in time, locating the flag quickly enough.

…......just because there's a magical indicator that happens to show the location of an uncarried flag through any obstacle.....Pffft!!

What I understand is that the indicator will show where the flag is at a distance, whether someone has it or it is dropped. When the flag carrier is closer to you it will not show... "to give that tank a chance to survive". I think that is a horrible idea that's why I'm suggesting what I'm suggesting.

 

You mention communication, the thing is that unless you are playing with known friends there's little communication because players speak many languages. With the system I'm suggesting there's less need for communication and that levels the playing field with coordinating friends and clans.

 

The challenge is still there because now everyone will know where the flag is, friends and enemies.

 

When everyone knows where the flag is, which I think is closer to base, and that means more friends are closer to the flag than enemies, and not all enemies can go for the flag because some are with the other flag and some are slow defenders.

 

I think what I'm suggesting would make the mode more intuitive and that would help it balance against friends and clans a little.
