Battle Indicators, PRO Rugby

[BEIBEIHE 59]

Played for a few hours, I like the new ones. They take getting used to especially remembering the new kill icons but on the plus side it keeps you attention on the battle rather than reading notifications.

No offence. Are you illiteracy or you have difficulty to read ? With the old text notifications you have already known the words and you don't need to remember icons from the beginning. I don't think people need to read every word in a notification; they just "snap shot" and know what is going on. If you find you have difficulty to read, I suggest you go to see a doctor before it is too late.

The old flag messages were pretty good, now I'm having a hard time identfying which flag got stolen. Another uneeded update.

Yes, now your understanding of what is happening in a battle is down to the same as those kids without using their brains. This is how Tanki to please those rich buyer kids. In the other way, we got fooled.

Obviously, that goes without saying. The new ones however allow you to see where the flag through buildings and I've used it multiple times to load up my Railgun in readiness for when the enemy drives out of cover.

 

Its also far better for when the mobile version comes out, having small text all over the screen would be impossible and takes up too much space.

 

Both systems have their own ups and downs, neither are perfect.

Huh? I said that I prefer the new notifications, hows that lying?

[wolverine848 13,097]

That Railgun sign though..

Oh my... :o

 

Rail should be the Vulcan sign

Vulcan should be a bunch of dashes - indicating the many projectiles it fires

 

And the new images are quite annoying/distracting during game-play.

i meaning you and other mods writing comments for the updates , but not sincere not friendly , many mods using to same words ( nice, awesome , cool ) like that but i believe last update is terrible and many mods didnt like it and still saying nice update  . . .(   for to Small icons )

[SwiftSmoky 8,445]

my predictions

 

 

 

 

If I saw only the icons and not the turret names:

• arrow head
• paint ball
• isida
• smoky
• 3 smokies / dust balls
• chair
• lightning bolt / chair
• fish
• an arrow, specifically the one whose head appears in the first icon
• gold box - because of it's red star drop zone during the Iron Days
• striker / thunder / artillery / real life tank missile
• dynamite / TNT
• the steering wheel of a tank whose driver got so mad that he threw it out when he rage quit

 

no offence, I wouldn't draw it any better :P

We generally discuss, rave and rage about the updates between each other in private chats since we're always together, thats why you sometimes don't see us say much.

 

Personally, if I like an update I'll say so in the topic and if I dislike it I'll complain about it in Skype, and maybe a little on the forum.

 

 

I'd be banned if I said some of the stuff I say on Skype here :p

Wow,This looks like a little kiddie game :lol:

[r_GIJOE2 0]

hmm... i'm not to pumped about the battle icon indicators. iron day paint and billboards are cool, though!  :)

[CabbageRoll 3,018]

 

 

That Railgun sign though..

supposed to be big sized screw

 

 

Oh my... :o

and thats why i made prediction of even worse indicators that confuse u

thats how icons are evolving, they lose its meaning

old ones were perfectly made and new ones look like horribly drawn vectors

 

 

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

The new icons look like cartoon drawings.  They will serveonce players get used to them, but they are definitely not as good looking as the previous style and seem quite childish. 

 

Someone needs to return to graphics class for a refresher.

Can add a update to the flag indicators so you can decide if you want to play with it? like when creating a battle you can check a box if you want to play with it or not?

[Rocket_Raccoon_XXX 1,507]

huh???

[Fresh 2,390]

The new icons used for when you kill someone is so ugly. Tanki has ruined itself and I guess Tanki is dead now. I am jumping onto Runescape. cya

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

Wow,This looks like a little kiddie game :lol:

I agree with you, it is just lame, and childlish.

 

And yet, you can find this in the first post :

 

Icons for turrets in the battle log were also updated, now all kills will have a new set of icons, which was done to bring the battle interface into a common, modern style.

 

Common and modern style? Imo, it is just ugly. The icon for Magnum was perfect before.

 

The notification for flags are just dumb, we always have to look at the top right to see who has lost the flag. It was way better in the top of the screen.

 

Devs, plz, I'm asking for a simple thing here. Be sober when you work on updates. Plz.

[Rocket_Raccoon_XXX 1,507]

I kinda gotta agree. But just gonna tell you, they'll NEVER make the take/lost flag notification on top they already said!

[DevilDV 36]

Tanki plz remove these new icons they sucks .....ewwww

 

If u wanna change them then make them more realistic

 

And and nd remove that flag indicator update too its good for rugby but it sucks in CTF . Hiding with flag is just so important part of CTF mode nd u have ruined it.

Listen to our feedback tanki

We all hate the new update!!!

Tell me one thing: how to turn off these battle indicators ? They are ugly, disgusting and horrible. I prefer see no indications in battles. Please, let us choose on/off the battle indicators. 

[Aegis 160]

The battle indicators are fine for me, but I have problem with the new battle log/kill feed icons, mainly the turrets icons.

 

Who is/are the designer(s) of the new turret icons? You should fire him/her/them. Really!!!

 

The most important principle of UI icons is users immediately know the meaning of the icons without any experience or extra text.

 

Now tell me, how in the world that 2 grey lines represent Vulcan, a machine gun? There is no way a user/player can immediately know what turret that icon represent with first glance.

 

You can make a flat style icons of the turret, like silhouettes. That is what you have done in TX, and it's great.

 

 

While in here, your Morden Style ICONS, are not user-friendly AT ALL. Yes, your icons look pretty now, but no one understand what these mean

Tbh this update is just as same as notification disabled -.-

-   All you did is add new icons on to the right side. This would be such a huge disadvantage for people who have sound disabled since they are so into gameplay that they won't even know the flag has been taken. Some people play with the volume off so it won't bother their parents or something at night.  Also its difficult to see the right side of the screen every time the flag has been taken notification sound plays. 

 

The flag location

-  This update is poorly added. It would have been better if you can see where the enemy flag is, not vice versa. You won't be able to see where your flag is which would be good. But by allowing us to see where our flag is, we are able to attack him/her directly. Whats the point of taking the flag and trying to run away? People would easily find you and predict your movement. Especially in xp/bp. I cant move without getting shot with the enemy flag!!! If they're too close I know they're near me, and I can prepare which is bad. In regular mode, magum can easily see where the flag is and shoot them till they die. Since they're using magnet there is no point in hiding behind walls since magnums specialty is shoot players who are hiding behind walls. Trying to hide under platforms won't work since they have splash damage. Damage indicators will tell them if they're doing damage so they will keep trying to adjust their aim till they shoot the flag.

 

The icons are good but just add back the text notification at the top and remove the ability to see where our flag, so it would be easier for the person who is carrying the flag in both teams

HMmmm Aunty's 2 cents worth,

 

   My initial impression was first that they are to large.  They swamp the text they're meant to be associated with.  Secondly that they look like someones grade 3 drawings.  They certainly don't look modern to me, and they certainly don't seem to be terribly representitive of particular turret.  I think you'd be better served with icons more similar to the older ones, even if you still want to change them all, and decrease the size to fit with the text it belongs to.

 

The ability to see the flag carrier ought to be removed in CTF... being able to sneak incognito is important especially for light hulls.

 

Love,

 

Aunty
