invalid Add an incentive to join PRO battles

[XLG1 67]

Isn't it annoying when promoting your battle in the game chat and it is hard to get participating users? 

 

A minimum of a 5 second delay when posting the link in the chat makes it hard to get noticed.

 

There doesn't appear to be a lot of PRO battles for Rugby, Juggernaut and Assault game modes. Maybe because it is hard to get people to join due to a low amount of users of the same rank, and others engaging in chat who are occupied. 

 

To alleviate this problem, 1 suggestion (not the main one) as an extension to the battle list already available, the matchmaking system is added to PRO battles, sending users to new battles on the battle list if they select it. 

 

My main suggestion is a way for the user to select their battles to appear on a 'battle feed', An extension to the battle list that isn't too obtrusive.

 

A pop up that shows in your game window battles that users want you to join. Maybe the size of the 'friends' panel in the game or smaller. Also the window would be shrinkable / minimizable.

 

So users can see that the creator wants you to join the battle. To make this more interesting, an incentive is added so that if you join battles on the battle feed, you get a small reward, like crystals, etc. 

 

This will mean that more users are in battle rather than the chat, contributing to the games economy, as PRO battles have more customize-able options that can vastly increase user satisfaction, this will create happier users

 

Appreciate any feedback!

Regards.

Valid.

The idea makes sense, its not completely counter intuitive, since joining pro battles will require one of two things, A- Being part of a clan, which requires a user to spend real currency to create one in the first place. And B- purchasing a PRO pass, which doesn't amount to much (It costs 5K crystals for Legend rank and above) but is a continuous source of income.

We definitely need more people in PRO battles, but multiple Developer updates have clearly suggested that the devs don't want PRO battles to become meta, marked with the removal of missions in PRO battles, double battle funds and special event drops being unavailable in them, and the interface change, where the PRO battle list is now a button that new users have to click in order to view them.

Devs do not want to encourage PRO battles at the moment, and they definitely won't be making any updates for them. The amount of players actually participating in PRO battles fluctuates between around 20% down to as low as 5%, so any work to improve them would be a waste of resources.

I like this idea but unfortunately, currently tanki online is trying hard to destroy pro battles "culture"

Thanks, as you all said the developers are not trying to encourage more users in PRO battles, but I think a legacy update should be released for the benefit of those who play them. Before you could create battles for free, and this would please some players who are looking for an alternative to hectic, unregulated drug wars. Need some more feedback on this. This would only be view-able after clicking on battle list, and would make it easier for those who like PRO battles. 

Try to convince them otherwise?  :)

Hazel said in a recent livestream that he's currently following the development process of WoW Classic - a separate older version of WoW that people can play to experience what it was like, or get that feeling of nostalgia. If it's successful, he said he might consider the same for Tanki, but if we're being realistic - it's never going to happen. And if it does, it would just be a very basic demo-like version of Tanki probably in a similar state as it was back in 2009.

I like the idea for a "battle feed" or perhaps, battle filter. Just rethink this idea to make it more suitable for pro battles. One thing I can say is that it would be nice to complete missions in pro battles, but in a more appropriate way which stops players from abusing the quick completion system of daily missions. For example, hard daily missions like "score 3 goals in rugby" and finish in the top 3 places, could be added as suitable missions to be complete in pro battles, as well as matchmaking battles alike.
