valid Improve the way items are displayed on player profiles

[RedDeath 7]

I would like to suggest an improvement to the Tanki Online player profile / Ratings system, specifically regarding the way turrets, hulls, drones, paints, and other items are displayed.

At the moment, the order in which items are shown seems to be determined primarily by the amount of time played with them. For example, if a player has:

• Isida — 2,000,000 XP and 100 hours played

• Thunder — 1,000,000 XP and 300 hours played

Thunder will be displayed before Isida because it has more hours played, even though the player has earned significantly more XP with Isida.

I think this system doesn't always accurately represent what is important or impressive about a player's profile.

Rare and exclusive items

There is also another aspect that I think could be improved: rare and exclusive items.

Things such as Helper paints, exclusive paints, XT drones, and other limited/rare items are often very interesting to other players and can be an important part of someone's account history. However, their position on the profile is still determined by the same general logic, rather than giving the player any control over which achievements or items they want to showcase.

My suggestion

I see two possible solutions:

1. Add a separate "Showcase" section

Allow players to select a few items that they want to display prominently on their profile.

For example, a player could choose:

• 3 favorite/most-used turrets

• 3 favorite hulls

• Rare or exclusive drones

• Rare/exclusive paints

• Other special items or achievements

This would essentially allow players to showcase the things they are most proud of.

2. Allow players to customize the order of their profile

Another option would be to let players manually choose the order in which their items appear.

The current automatic statistics could still exist, but players would have the option to switch to a "Custom order" and arrange their profile however they want.

For example:

1. Isida — 2M XP

2. XT Drone

3. Exclusive Paint

4. Thunder — 1M XP

5. Helper Paint
   etc.

This would make profiles much more personal and would allow players to showcase their history, rare possessions, and favorite equipment instead of having everything determined solely by playtime.

Why I think this would be useful

Player profiles are not just statistics. They are also a way of showing a player's history and achievements.

Someone might have spent hundreds of hours using a particular turret, while another player might have an extremely rare item that they obtained years ago. Both things can be meaningful, but the current system doesn't give players much control over what they want their profile to represent.

I think a customizable Profile Showcase would make the Ratings/Profile system much more interesting and give players another reason to collect rare items and engage with their profiles.

The existing automatic ranking could remain unchanged for players who prefer it. This would simply add an optional customization layer on top of the existing system.

In short: keep the current statistics, but give players the ability to decide what they want to showcase.

I think this would be a relatively simple feature that could make player profiles much more personal, interesting, and representative of each player's Tanki history.

I like that concept of important achievement, I think apart from just Helpers, any exclusive parkour paint, module, or esports achievement rewards deserve an exclusive status.

Profiles haven't been updated since like 2018, no?

l think it wouId add too much compIexity to the way it is.

Today it's simpIe, we don't have any way of affecting "our" Rating's page, the system just reads the necessary data and presents it that way.

But adding a favorite function wouId require either another webpage for us to seiect our favorites, or another section in Settings. Same for customization.

When it come to Paints, l agree with the idea that there shouId be a section for excIusive Paints, l think that's very doabIe, and since there are Iike thousands of Paints it's very much needed.

PersonaIIy l Iike that it's based on time piayed, buy a change to XP wouId be okay.

 

PS: Another thing that's needed is to differentiate Parkour kiIIs and Bot kiIIs. (This wouId be onIy for new accounts)

Or how about separating Matchmaking statistics from Pro BattIe statistics and Parkour statistics? (AIso new accounts)
