valid Second kind of Rename Pass: "Rename +"

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

Rename +

..is an additional, second rename pass in the shop. The old rename pass stays untouched, while the new rename + offers to rename your account + provides you with three bonus features:

1. locks up your former nickname for one year
   ..so that no other player can make use of this account name during this period of time.
2. chat messages towards the old nick will be answered automatically by a line like
     "players [old nick] has changed his nick name, his new nick is [new nick name]"
3. Your friends will see your new nick in their friend lists. Your new nick is accompanied by your old name in brackets for about 1 month.

 

This are typical convinience + personalization features, that offer an additional source of income for the game.

 

And maybe.. -> If this earns enough money, the normal rename could maybe be made available through the garage again? A lot of free players would enjoy that.. The garage based rename pass could increase in price through out the ranks as well; like it starts with 50k in lower ranks and goes up to 200k for Legends.

Very useful idea, +1

Lol xD.

 

 

A definite plus, hope this gets noticed.

And why on earth would you moderate your own topic?! Let another moderator do it, you might as well take this comment down since you cant moderate your own topic!  :P  (That's why it's called a "forum". Other people are supposed to give feedback to your idea) :ph34r:

You act like I would lock out other people from giving their feedback.. while the existence of your post here proves that this is not the case :). Anyways, while I do not agree to your point of view, I still thank you for your feedback.

 

The current buzz about XTs shows how much players think of things that do not add any in-game-benefits, but simply do look cool. A similar (and therefore somehow proven) logic is behind this idea: you can rename your tank the economic way, or you pay some extra to stand out a bit more (as there are no wanna-be replicas of your old nick).

I do think this will be bad for Tanki revenue for the reasons KariWolves mentioned. It makes sense that this will decrease of the Shop nickname changes, and players (Players who would rather use the garage but now are forced to use the Shop) will rather use the garage one.

We can moderate our own topics, since we (I&S mods) are experienced enough to know which ideas are valid and which ones aren't, regardless of whether they were posted by someone else or ourselves. Either way, there's no reason to assume that wasp didn't discuss his idea with us before posting, and even if he didn't, we can always check his idea after it's posted and change the status if necessary :)

That being said, I'm not sure if I agree with the idea. I feel like instead of adding an even more expensive rename pass, the current rename pass should get these bonus features and the old rename pass should become cheaper and/or be sold in the garage for crystals. I feel like the current rename pass is absolutely not worth its price and needed to have all the features of "rename+" from the start.

Very true…

While I agree to your impression (current pass to expensive, should be available by crystals in garagee), I fear that your hopes will not come true as long as Tanki has no other alternative to substitue the loss of income.

Offering a substitution was the motivation for this idea \_b)_/

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

The rename+ thing is a bad idea for the game economics... more people would use the "garage rename" which would decline TO's revenue over time...

As you still talk about bad impacts to the economy, I like to point out two lines of the start post:

• "rename+ ..is an additional, second rename pass in the shop. The old rename pass stays untouched, ..."
• "And maybe.. -> If this earns enough money, ..."

 

It does not read "and in turn you have to shut down the rename in the shop instantaneously".

So as it was written, rename+ is designed to work as an additional income source first, without harming the economy at all. In contrast, it will benefit the economy. "And maybe.. -> If this earns enough money, ...", then they have the data to take a decision and maybe give the players a feature that they want.

I simply think we have no chance at all to get an economic way to rename, if there is no income substitution.

And if it does not work out, then the game has another income source and therefore less need to become pay-to-win.

Under review

Le you: Hey Tanki Developers, I like my suggestion and I will post it and I will put it under Review doesn't matter you like it or not :ph34r:  :ph34r:  :ph34r:

Hey TO_King, I come to the conclusion that you have no idea what "under review" means, and therefore I like to explain it to you, doesn't matter if you read it or not :P

 

"under review" means that this idea will be mentioned in a weekly report - which is kind of a sorted list of ideas of the given week (title; if the title was misleading then we add a handful of descriptive words; and a link to the original topic). Each week the developers read that report, and can click on the links to check the players feedback and such.

"Under Review" means that an idea made it to the report, and is/was therefor reviewed by some dev. They were made aware of it. And from now on it's completely up to them to decide if they implement it or not.

 

We I&S moderators create those reports.

So if I set my own idea under review it's like I raise my hand and say "I have an idea, please find it there(link)" - which is far, far, very far away from "hey, go on and do what I say"

I don't understand how could TO live before Rename Pass in garage, and now it would be really big impact on game economy if  (giving similar idea) everyone would be able to change nick for crys once and then for real money.

Also, TO is putting all "not-so-necessary" stuff in shop.

They should put everything in shop except for Turrets & Hulls & Green paint.

Would be nice to see that you can get Emerald only for 100$ in shop.

 

Ok, this is very unnecessary and there is no reason and there will never be a rename pass in the garage. Developers are sure about that. This would also affect the game economy by doing this, because instead of players buying rename pass from the shop, they will ignore the Rename+ and just use the regular rename pass, which provides all you need for your rename. And No, we need more things in the shop for more profit for the game, because we really don't need players who don't give an economical advantage to the game (no offense to free players intended) . This game is trying to make more money to provide for future updates/projects... So I disagree with this idea completely.

And why on earth would you moderate your own topic?! Let another moderator do it, you might as well take this comment down since you cant moderate your own topic!  :P  (That's why it's called a "forum". Other people are supposed to give feedback to your idea) :ph34r:

Horrible idea for those who say it is good. The game economy would be affected...

I see that MMS was a successful move. And, yea, why to give some free to play players chance to have some fun? Rather go play Candy Crush.

I know TO needs money. But if you lose all non buyers, you will lose small buyers, then bigger buyers. Domino effect.

I guess you are buyer. Imagine that you are wrecked in every battle you join? Would you like that? And, no, someone will never pay on games! They will leave. But, noone needs those noobs, right?

 

 

 

 

I like the idea though

Mods post useful stuff only :ph34r: So review it by yourself 

[NXS_Neta_King 654]

Great idea

I thought Under Review means that Idea will be forward to the developers soon or later. Thanks for Explaining :D

I feel like 18 dollars is cheaper than 100k crystals since if you were to buy 100k, you would be spending 100 dollars.

Crystals are never considered more expensive than real currency because you can get them for free. For a Legend player, 100k is about 2-3 weeks of gameplay (from game rewards, containers and missions).

[Defender 1,337]

Good idea but I would delete the first bonus feature. When you change your name it means that you're tired of it, you do not like it etc. Why would you need to have it 'locked' for another year?

[Maf 32,300]

2-3 weeks? I can get that in less than a week with straight game play for 7 days w/ premium

There's people who earned over 200k from a single battle. I was talking about more casual gameplay.

[Joeguy 941]

There should be some way for free players to change their nickname.
