[tournamentJESUS]

Haven't decided to award this yet. Would all current awards need to be re-evaluated, or just make this change going forward?

probably should only be effective moving forward. maybe make an announcement on the website about an increase if you do end up going through with this.

change going forward

[iwasperdition]

Idea is pretty simple, we could just have it be color wars. Concept would be to increase team work and add additional in game goals. Tanks have the option to sign up to be in the color war or not be involved in it so it isn't forced up anyone. After signing up for it on a page much like the tournament link on the top you start to obtain a positive or negative point level based on how many kills you have on other colors, bots not included. Rank of the kill doesn't matter, any kill would be counted as either a +1/-1. Main tanks only, so when you sign up you must include the color you will be playing on and have over 15 in game hours on the tank in order for their to not be players giving out free kills etc. The only tanks that would count towards this kill count would be other tanks that also signed up for the color war. Would also be very easy to moderate abuse based on knowing outliers (people with extreme outliers, -100 as an example).

New players have more goals too shoot for if they get frustrated from leveling or the lack there. Veterans and teams now have all new aspects in terms of team battles and the value of their raids goes up. It also encourages activity on main tanks vs color flipping for raids.

Color war would take place over a month, you can join at any point within the first two or three weeks. Awards can be an additional 5~10% XP for one week if they are on the winning team. Other options could be 5-10 additional EQ slots, bonus fuel levels, etc for that week. Thought this could be a fun idea.

I meant when you die from mines, no matter the rank, you could at least come back with 5 or 10 of everything with equipment. Instead of the flat zero of everything.


And 003, the only things being changed is the increase on deaths and/or kills. Would be pretty easy to still have/get the awards you have/want. :-p

If mines cost a death they wouldn't need to steal all your EQ.

But then you couldn't die down without getting honor...

mine deaths are relatively rare and always a humiliating one at that, so it should count as a death and still take all your eq. imho.

[B_man99]

Would it be possible for bots to get some better AI? Get feul, EQ join in on raids when called upon? It is kind of pointless to have them on the map. sure it is fun to kill them and all but, for now it seems their only perpose is to rank low levels and take up space i guess. I would like them to plant mines on their own or something. and their numbers never go up they stay the same even tho they shoot a gen for 5 mins. Is this possible to do. make them a little bit harder?

[crusher.VICIOUS]

Well if you do keep mines as a no death stat we should at least be able to come in with SOME equip but I don't think it should be half of what you HAD like a usual death. Dying by mines by an individual who just planted is them owning the person.

With that being said if a person dies by a mine from someone who JUST planted them they should be awarded the kill and promotion if at the appropriate ranks. ( if you make it count as a death)

I never agreed on dying down to avoid deaths but I do kind of understand it. But if you keep it as no death should be able to come back with like 5 or 10 of everything not half like I said.

[crusher.VICIOUS]

Bman has a right mindset but idk about joining raids or being too hard for noobies to kill. But to add or change to what he said, how about making each bot going from easiest to kill to hardest to kill going by tank

Such as

Color-6 easiest to kill (dumbest)
Color-1 hardest to kill (smartest)

Color-1 is harder to kill then Color-2

Just an idea to switch/ add different things that don't overly change the game.

I would be down for this. It just seems they are there and that is it. I would not maid if they shot in raids and such makes it more chellenging for all. I would have the feture that they can not kill in raids tho. Maybe they could drop down some mines here and there. and maybe give them some awards? Could me how a vote on possibly naming them? orange-1 is kind of lame. maybe we could name them after famouse war people or something. But, not these dumb child names anymore.

In the idea mood.

IDEA 1:
Tank Awards can be "cashed" in. If you want to cash in a bronze tank(100 kills) you will erase or gain combat (20 deaths) from your reg and the other way around. As you have probably guessed this will be based on the tiers:
Combat = Bronze
Battle = Silver
Heroic = Gold

You can always keep getting them or leaving them how you like, but there is a portion of the community who like to optimize their tanks. This would be a neat way. I dont like tank awards, but they have always been a component and understood you have to have them. Now we can change that.



IDEA 2:
Have scheduled days and times available to have a second map open for 1 hour, stats transfer from the original map. However, team leaders get with sunwolf and if possible give the select players they want from their team to be able to join the map. Like a list of 6-8 players, aka, Team battles.

Why would sunwolf put this effort up? Well because each team will generate 10 bucks for their side to compete in an isolated match for 1 hour. This could be legendary. Upside of the sky, there isn't a downside that I can see.

So now this site is a money maker? I thought it says in the help thing that this site is compleately free or was that editted? if you have to start paying for stuff then RIP the site. what is next paying to play on the main map and make new tanks?

i'm not on any teams because i play like a faggot and no one likes me, so this idea doesn't benefit me and i'm going to find some shitty angle to attack this on and exaggerate it into another area where it doesn't even apply

you guys can be sheep and put money into SW pocket for all I care. it is a 2D tank game you are willing to pay $25 to change some letters and $10 to play for 1 hour on a second map. come on now that would just be a scam.

You obviously don't get the fun part of being in a map to battle another team, without having faggots like you tagging the raids and then not taking the raids when it has turned on you. Maybe one day you will be socially accepted by the community and be aloud to join a team, and then you will get why this is a good/fun idea.

when have i tagged in a raid latly? I have been in blue mobs but never tagged with reds oranges or purps. so IDK where you are getting your facts. when i see a raid taking place by reds or w/e i go and fill or kill bots or get off. i dont like people getting ass hurt now! And besides there is more to this game then taking raids over and over and over. I personally find it pointless getting butt fucked by 50 other tanks. if you find that fun so be it but, you dont have to attack me as a person over it. we are all adults that play a 5 year olds game.

This is the exact reason you are a social outcast in this community. Because of this theology. But to each its own. If you want to play like a faggot, then go ahead, but don't expect people like myself to be nice you and not call you out for it.

But back to Andrews original post, I would def throwdown some money for something like that.

[X-HayS-X]

between 6 people, what's 10 bucks? between 12 to 16, what's 20? It's not like it would be an everyday occurrence but it'd be amazing. possible someone comes and tags raids on an orange tank and another tags and records on a (insert non participating color). then, everyone gets to see it afterwards.

And this is why people leave this game and never come back. people like you force them into things they dont like doing. if you want to be a bad ass mother fucking raid taker that takes 80 raids a day so be it. it does not mean everyone should be like this just cause it is fun for you. play how you find it fun and leave it at that. or have an all raid map where you are locked into the map for 1 hour without Q'ing out.

The idea is fine, the money tag is the issue for me. You pay for this, then what is next that we have to pay for? that is my problem with it.

I think you may be slightly retarded. Just stay out of this conversation. You have no idea what it is to have a team battle without scrubs like you around. So any point you make is invalid at this point.

[X-HayS-X]

Do you understand what you're conveying? We are paying for this "luxury". We wont to be able to play on an isolated map, that hasnt been touched by people of your caliber. This would mean everything was fresh and ready for battle. None of your tagging, none of your mining useless fuels only to be found 15 screens later, nothing. It would be perfect. Why can't we have nice things if we're willing to pay? Are you really that upset that you cant be a part of the fun Rudolph?

This whole post is about team battles. Unless you understand them then you will never get how much fun they are, therefore not knowing the value of having a map free of useless scrubs.

[B_man99]

My point is once you start paying money, people start getting greedy and wanting more. Not saying SW will do this but, look at what happeneds on other sites IE: Runescape. started out as free with little to no pay. now you have to pay for the game to be even fun to play. All i am saying is one thing leads to another and by paying for something that should not even be paid for is dumb and pointless. SW should set this up free of charge and give people what they want for loyalty. Without us there would be no tankpit and he would have a lot more free time on his hands.

[Shah]

Hays I like your team battle idea.

Hey guys I have been missing in action and did not read all 24 pages maybe this has already been said but I m gonna say it anyways. SW have you taught of registering the game with Facebook to increase the activity of the game. I m pretty sure it's possible. Also eventually make it a dollar to create a tank so color flipping noobs can't keep creating nooby tanks. Jking about the dollar a tank.

Also have you considered adding the BFunity.com Link to Tankpit site? This way all new players can find the older and the wise era players to learn from.

Thanks, and yes he has on both. wants to launch through facebook, but he has no want to connect tankpit to the community.

[Tragic]

Why not have tournament variants such as:

Capture the flag
Basically where all colors would have to attempt to capture a certain item on the different colors item-say in a base and so on with people defending. The person who makes the capture will receive the award/accommodation.

Timed equipment races:
The title explains it all. Kills can be a tactic to collect more equipment as well.

Random tournaments:
Occasionally host a tournament without letting anyone know when.

Zero equipment tournaments:
Where you are only equipped with singles and are timed less than normal tournaments.

I imagine if this idea is liked and SW decided to try to make any of these happen a vote thread would be in order.

......thanks for listening!
