Completed Fix the issue with custom PRO battle names

[Maf 32,328]

This is a (hopefully temporary) topic to collect all ideas regarding the current PRO battle custom naming issue.

[SageoftheSixPaths 215]

With custom battle names being implemented, it is very difficult to see which map and mode I am playing in. This is especially true in space mode. What makes it worse is that most of the names are in Russian. At least they could make an ability to name PRO battles without removing the display of map name and mode.

i notice in the last update now players can name the battle and that annoying especially when most players name them in russian before i used to search for a specific map and i can read the map name in english i hope you add an option in the settings to show map name in the pro battles instead of the made up names thanks.

A lot of English players, or any player, don't know what map a certain PRO battle is on because the name doesn't give any hints toward what map the match is on or the game mode (or because it's all this random Russian stuff). This is a major problem just trying to find the right PRO battles or if your friend invites and you don't know if you want to leave your battle to play on a map/game mode you are not sure you are playing on. 

 

This idea is basically to add the actual map name + game mode after the custom-name in parenthesis to give an indicator what the map is on. 

 

Example:

 

If I gave you this map name, you couldn't guess what map or game mode it was on:

"Boulevard of Broken Dreams"

 

However, with this update, it becomes this:

"Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Deathtrack CTF)"

 

Another Example:

Original: "OEAaoeifaoeifORJoiejefom" <=== *Random Russian Custom Map Name"

 

Becomes: "OEAaoeifaoeifORJoiejefom (Polygon CP)" 

 

Another alternative is to just add the map name + game mode on the right side of those neon green battle bars... however, I don't think that is enough because when your friend invites you to the battle, you still can't see the map or game mode or if someone posts a battle link in chat, you don't know what map/game mode it is either. So, I think it's best if I added it on to the name.

 Hello Tankers, I like to give a suggestion that in my opinion will help many players. My suggestion is about the new update that makes the player name the PRO battles, I wanted to have an option in the settings of the "Game" tab with the name "Show the original name of the battles", I will give an example. The original name in the PRO battle is "Highland", so the player who created the battle put his name like that. "The best battle of the game", with my suggestion, would show the original name of all PRO battles, if the battle that is called "The best battle of the game" would show its original name if the player activated the option "Show the original name of the battles "in the case would show this name" Highland ", I am giving this suggestion because I am gringo and I play on the EN server, and this update made my choice of battles more difficult and time consuming because most I do not understand Russian, I do not understand Russian, most of the time I have to click on the battle and wait for the small image to load in the upper right corner, I'm not asking you to remove the option name the battles, but I'm asking that you have an option to show its original name but would show the original name if the player activates the option "Show original battles name" in the settings in the "Game" tab, if it does not activate, this option will continue to show the custom name.

We already have game mode filters. A better solution would be to have formatting and map tags.

Add an option to filter out all the battles with cyrilic letters. I do not understand Russian at all.

I  think it would be better to have both Russian names and English names

Tanki test server now displays map name on the right side of the battle list.

[Potdindy 866]

Yes this is a good idea

Tanki test server now displays map name on the right side of the battle list.

As conqueror pointed out, it has been tested in the test server, see in this post how it looks: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=365223&p=6601079

Well, then, I guess I'm too late for this problem. On my other account, I pressed CP mode and found a Polygon CP that was in my rank parameters. When I joined with Vulcan loaded, I could see that everyone had Twins. The enemy was targeting me and my teammates were pushing me around. All the chat was in Russian. I finally got the idea that this was an exclusively Twins battle and left. That may have been in the name of the battle, but then I don't really know, it was in Russian. 

 

I thought maybe if a battle was for a particular turret and that was in the name of the battle, it could be added to the description of the battle. But since the list has already been made for release, then I'm too late.
