Declined {Suggestions} Bring back the green and yellow "player has taken/lost the flags" massages in battles.

[Bamba 188]

Hi,

Like some of you know,the yellow and green

massages of

"player has taken/lost the flag" which showed up on

your screen in battle on a big letters (on the picture below),

has removed.

i think that these massage needs to go back to the game.

without it its harder to understand when your flag is under attack or

in take.

i think these massage are important to the game and helps us be on focus

on our flags.

whats you think?

 

 

 

thats a pic of these massages :)

Declined.

 

First, we do not accept ideas regarding changes of the actual Tanki Online to its previous versions, or ideas regarding the removal of updates.

 

Secondly, notifications were disabled on purpose by the developers. They decided that the text on top of the screen often gets in the way and covers too much of the gameplay area, which results in uncomfortable gameplay. Instead they will soon implement a way to see the location of the flag at all times, so you will find it easier to see where your flag is.

[Stratosphere 2,237]

You can still see notifications about your flag if you look at the killfeed to the right:

 

 

(yes, I know this draws your attention away from the main action even more than the old notifications. )

[sensei_tanker 3,156]

The Old Notifications were perfectly fine! Can't the devs focus on more important things?

[ThirdOnion 4,950]

Apparently a couple lines of text at the top of the screen get in the way, but a red / blue circle in the center of your screen doesn't?

I agree. I think thats was okay.

But anyway the devs will make their

decisions and im sure they will do the best for all the players..i guess we will adapted to the new looks of our flags system.

I still have no idea who has taken who's flag. :LOL: The Deves want to see chaos in CTF battles.  :ph34r:

Things are getting worse

[Rocket_Raccoon_XXX 1,512]

Nah, not worse...you also know if the flag is with someone by seeing on bottom right it shows which flag, red or blue, is taken, it blinks fast, and if someone lost the flag, it blinks slowly. Well, you still can't see WHO took the flag, but it still shows that in the top right

[KoKoRocha 10]

Under certain circumstances, yes, the text did get in the way. For example: If you are trying to shoot at the enemy on a high place, sometimes you would have to tilt your tank back slightly either on a ramp (Brest...on the dirt ramp going into enemy base. Shooting at exposed enemy on the top floor) or on the edge of a bridge (Highways: Your on bridge B or C shooting at the enemy on bridge A). That would bring the target onto the top edge of the screen, right where the text used to be. If you know how to use the battle interface, you can tell all you need to know about what is going on in the battle (except exactly where the flags or ball is). Why do you need to know the nickname of the person who has the flag? Does it really matter?

[ThirdOnion 4,950]

 

There are camera controls. If the enemy is at the edge of your screen simply adjust your camera angle.

 

Secondly, text notifications are far more informative than icons. With the new system, if you want to know if the enemy has taken your flag, you will have to do a 360 degree turn to see whether the icon is somewhere on the battlefield or not. This is anything but convenient.

[r_MaquinaDeGuerra0 218]

I like this

[meir1 64]

i think if devs think tankers think it gets in the way, there should just be an option to remove it. simple. I, personally, never thought it did. (i mean, if an enemy who i knew was there was ever blocked, i would just shoot there anyway. . . if he moved, no harm done, right?)

[sensei_tanker 3,156]

Why did they rush this update so early?

 

The only excess battle notification is the one that says "ball is in game" because "ball will spawn soon" already tells you that it's going be in the game.

[r_Dark_Lord1 28]

But anyway the devs will make their

a few posts back Hate said that the devs are working on sth so we can see the flag's position at all time. Lets hope its a minimap

[railguniz4noobz 2,418]

The issue isnt the persons nickname, its knowing which teams flag was taken. If youre in the middle of a battle you cant just look at the corner of your screen to see.

 

Green text = enemy flag taken

Yellow text = your flag taken

[DieselPlatinum 5,275]

I remembered that I once complained about the text from above, only because it was around the time I was still using railgun as my main turret. I only wanted there to be an option in the settings to have it on or off for the individual. What I didn't want was for it to be completely removed.

I like the way you made your gameplay window smaller so that the messages are outside of the window, leaving you with much more to see. I would never have thought of doing that to be honest. It probably also helps on seeing more things right in front of you. It might also help reduce the lag for the individual.

It doesnt scale. Unless youre having serious lag issues you should always keep it maximum size.

[sensei_tanker 3,156]

Now that we have seen this new update, I think we need these back. The update was pointless and meaningless.

[BlackWasp777 4,555]

Check out the way the flag symbols in the lower right blink.. it tells you the flag status if you need it.

You can check it each time you hear the flag-sound.

In the end it's faster then reading that lines of the old / of the new system.

Yeah I know. However there are limiations to this system:

 

1. It's much easier to read the top of the middle of the screen. I have to take my attention towards the corner of the screen to know if someone take flag. 

2. Many people's computers are slow, so sometimes both flags will constantly blink even though they are not taken or sometimes it doesn't even blink the entire battle. This happens a lot to me.
