top 10 for practice?

by **Jordann** » Sun Sep 29, 2013 3:01 pm

Whats the chance we get a top 10 list for practice in game? No top colors, no top 25, just a single top 10 list. From what ive seen so far, practice isnt commanding some redic amount of activity and forcing all the legit new players to take on multiple tanks. It essentially looks like a safe haven not just for newbs but for vets who want to get away from the drama filled with the main map/whatever going on with their life to beast out some kills. I know the goal isnt to promote playing practice over the official map, and some would say a top 10 is exactly that. I dont see it that way but if you do then theres nothing that can really be said.

anyways, I feel like people playing practice is better then people not playing at all. Atleast they have a chance to leak over into the main map and contribute in activity that way.

I agree with everything said here. I would like to see it; personally I'd like to see color top 10's as well.

Get rid of numbers. At the end of the day IT WOULD PROMOTE MORE ACTIVITY DOING THIS.

what are you guys afraid of? If someone is attracted to the idea of a practice map I think its safe to assume at the time atleast the main map doesnt interest them. But again, I completely understand why it wouldnt be added, I just wish it were more accepted as an alternative to the main map. It is fun, relaxing and still tankpit.

Just because people don't play practice they don't want others to play it. Like I said, if #'s was taken from the game I would still play.

Noobs play for #, you should let them play for # in practice. The main map is just a 'harder level' compared to practice because there are a lot of extra ranks and players. Also you can gain the triple star only in the main map.

I'm not sure what people have against the 5-10 players who returned to the game purposely to play practice, they play tourns, hop in the main map sometimes. Taking away #'s will make then leave again since they do not like the main map/drama that comes with it. There are tp players actually getting more active just to play practice.

Think of it as the 'easy level' of tankpit with the main map been the 'hard level'.

Tbh tho practice players > main map players, an I right practice players?

I havent played the real map for about 2 weeks. But im really enjoying playing practice. Its a nice place to go and just chill and do your own thing. Its a nice break. :smoke:

I've been swayed. practice is kinda chill and a nice change of pace. think I'm only going to play it when the main map is something I'm tired of or when people who are extremely undesirable are in, and those are generally times I wouldn't be playing otherwise. will probably rack up a shitload of hours doing this tbh.

unlike most other practice players tho, I think the current lack of top x lists is just fine.

by **killer** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 4:08 am

I play practice. <3 Id love for t10s to be visible.

by **Krusty** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 4:37 am

I think we should give up on the idea. Sunny net us half way by not showing t10 lists but letting us see #'s so we can make our own. I think if we keep pushing its going to the wrong way and we will lose #'s all together.

I'll be playing practice just like Sean explained. I went a little bit full time since I was bored of the main map but its time to flip back and use practice when whack maps are up or damn right horrible players are in the main map.

Veterans taking over the "practice" field. Just what he made the map for.

by **PRIDE** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 11:45 am

practice is a map for new players to learn the game period. if people were going to play the map as a main map then there would be a 2nd main map

How in hell do you justify this? Why not get rid of numbers in the main maps as well? Because you know playing to try to be #1 is such a horrible thing.

The game is not just all about raids people! Look how hypocritical you all are. Everyone bitched when the snakes would raid all day long.... but here people are suggesting to remove items from the game, so that raiding and taking raids is the only reason to play. Get real.

Why not remove colored tanks as well? It would promote equality, and also there are rumors it would solve world hunger, fix the financial crisis, and end war. Not to mention IT'D MAKE THE GAME MORE ACTIVE!

by **987** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 12:13 pm

you guys should try it first tbh. come in and do whatevs whenever you're tired of the main map and/or feel like taking it easy. especially clutch as a secondary activity while you're playing something else, watching tv/movies, etc.its really not bad.

yesterday while watching football for example, I probably would have only gained 20 minutes in the main map, if that. practice? 4 hours.

by **Frost** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 12:16 pm

Here is a solution. DOn't put top ten lists in game, but make a link available where we can see them. Perhaps only putting a top 25 list with the current one for map rotation.

by **987** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 12:19 pm

there's really no need for a top anything list in a practice map, we can just crowdsource our own..

I know you're a fucking idiot and I know explaining myself to idiots will get me nowhere but let's try it anyway.

SW, wants to promote activity for main map and only wants to use practice for noobs like yourself. We all love the number system. Right now everyone is taking this practice map as a 2nd map and not a practice map for noobs like yourself. Everyone is playing this map because of the number system, because it's new and get the chance to start fresh. It's why I loved tankpit so much on its first release. Instead of playin utanks and tryin to play catch up to all these tanks with rusty swords already. Taking the point system out would make you feel like there is no point in a practice map other then PRACTICE. Instead you will use any valuable time in the MAIN MAP instead.

Come on idiot. :smart:

If people like fucking around so much they will still do this. But when people are mad about taking away the point system it proves the point that this is why people are playing it.

There will not be a top 10 for practice. No guarantees on ranks staying in practice (or experienced tanks being allowed in) either if it's being abused or played too heavily.

Main map =/= practice map. Not too hard to understand.

Funny how this went from being a "haven for new players to gain some footing", to a place where "I can kill bots and chill", to a "we need a practice top 25/top 10" etc.

The agendas are pretty clear boys.

yeah the agendas clear. continue playing the game without dealing with a bunch of cry babies such as yourself and the others in this thread.

But again, I fully understand why there wont be a top ten, just tossed the idea out there for the 0.001% chance it succeeded.

by **Krusty** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 1:21 am

It would of been nice for some t10 lists but hell give up on the idea sunny has spoke.

Sunny the moment you take out #'s or stop vets playing practice is the moment you lose 10+ players who ONLY play practice and jump in the main map randomly. It's a safe haven to chill in. Nobody raids/mobs, nobody kills the newbs. You can't exactly put a time limit on practice because what if a newb doesn't feel good enough for the main map. There is nothing wrong with how people are playing it now. If they start mob raiding newbs then it will be time to do something about it.
