Valid Automated messages when a certain action is completed

[LOLKILLERTOTHEDEATH 1,921]

My suggestion is that upon completion of a certain action, a text box appears above your tank with a message. 

 

For example, if I am invading the enemy base with my Wasp in the hopes of stealing the flag and I use my overdrive, I feel it would be nice if I could say something like "Merry Christmas" to my enemies. 

 

Potential actions include:

 

Taking a gold box

 

Overdrive use

 

Capturing a flag

 

Your message would be something you decide, however it may be limited to 5-10 words (appropriate ones). Perhaps such a feature could be sold for 1$ or any price Tanki sees fit, but depending on the specific occasion, so buying an auto-text for "overdrive use" won't be triggered when capturing a flag.

Valid

 

Sounds interesting. I've seen this implemented in other games. We could even have "themed" sets of messages, like a flag, overdrive and gold box message that's based on the winter/christmas theme, so when you buy them all you get some kind of bonus, like a unique cosmetic feature. There's a lot of potential here.

Maybe it would be better used as a strategic message similar, or replaced by the chat wheel

A strategic message communicator is a separate system that's only there to improve gameplay. It's great, but it can't be monetised, whereas this most definitely can.

Sounds good-but it needs to be translated to each individuals language (effective translations please) so I get to show everyone.

As long as I can turn it off...

That goes without saying  :P

So like chat binds but even lazier? If we can type our own (PG-13 and SFW!) messages, this would be neat.

Not really lazier, but if you're capturing a flag I don't think you'll take the time to write something until you're either destroyed or the flag is captured.

Your idea is good but it must be kept free.

 

Also, your idea could well fit in with when players or you complete daily and weekly missions. That way, other players on the battlefield would know exactly when you have completed your daily and weekly missions. This could also be added for when completing challenges tiers and fully completed changes.

That's what binds are; Pressing a button to perform a task in-game simpler. It's most popular in TF2 for things like switching loadouts on the fly, spamming the chat with profanity, etc. Of course none of that is very appropriate for Tanki, but still. It could also go the way of TF2 by having unique taunts and the like for the different turrets like the domination lines in that game.

Plenty of ways this can be used. Looking forward to it. :)

Thanks for your opinions! Well I don't think it should be that way for a number of reasons. Firstly, if its free then everybody uses it and it will likely be a mess for matches, until the point where most everyone ignores it in which case it won't be useful anyways. Secondly, nobody is really concerned about whether or not you finished missions/challenges although if you were to want to say it, you could simple do so in the regular chat without worrying (since it is not time-related). By contrast, everyone in the match is affected by you taking a flag or getting a gold box so that's why I feel that missions and challenges shouldn't be included.

Oh I see! Well please ignore what I posted then.

If you want me to ignore your post, then that's fine we me.

 

I only said that your idea was good though.

Well I was just stating the reasons behind my examples to hopefully spark conversation. Thank you Riddler!

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

I know.
