Loading screen tips

Post by Krieger Blitzer »

Since there was a topic about this, i would like to address this matter again.

The idea is that the loading screen will include tips as quotations by devs & other long lasting Bk players.

Main purpose of the tips, is to serve as tutorial for the game basics.

So, for example.. it would look something like this:
Kwok: this game is more suited for PvP on bigger maps.

MarKr: have something to report for the devs? Visit the Bk Mod forum & Discord server.

Krieger Blitzer: remember that towed AT guns and infantry won't be auto targeted by tank cannons due to being hard to hit, unless High Explosive rounds are used.
This way... i can provide a list of tip quotations for myself to be included, and we can attach other hardcore players names to these quotations as well; such as Warhawks, Sukin, Walder, Red, etc.

Like that, it really feels like a community made MOD.
So, the tips look like messages to new players by older players.

Here is a couple of lines by me: (in addition to the one in the sample above)
- Keep in mind Engineer squads have slower point capturing rate.
- Most vehicles have minimum shooting range, which means you can't hug & shoot enemies.
- Using "Attack Move" ability, you can order ur units to target de-crewed AT guns, MGs & Mortars.
- Units on the move have less sight range than when stationary.
- Tanks have less vision than light armored vehicles.
- Most artillery units consume ammunition upkeep, meaning that the more arty units u have on the field, the less ammo income u gain each minute.

Haha, well.. unless hit ground is removed... Though, u can still do the same using Direct Fire ability, which people voted for it to stay since DF ability was deemed useful. And that makes removing hit ground pointless...

All in all, i know sometimes players abuse both the minimum & max range this way.. but it's not a reliable abuse since hitting ground can still miss.

Nevertheless, minimum range is still a good mechanic introduced by Bk Mod that vCoH didn't have.. thus, it should be highlighted, even if some players know how to work around it.

@Tara
Even if there is new ones now.. the ones from 5.2.9 still exist. And i think we should re-work the tips from scratch as i suggested, we need to make sure we cover all the basics of the game in the tips.. in a more appealing way, and i think the best way would be this kind of advices style by devs and older players in the community.

Cool idea, but still Markr and Kwok, keep the the funny loading tipps aswell.

Is there a cap by the game files for overall loading tips or are they "unlimited" ?

I'm all for community representation and education newer players. Community development has been my main objective as I played BK before I was even a dev. I'm open to the idea, but at the end of the day it's up the mysterious dev who writes the tooltips who decides. As far as I know, none of the devs I've interacted with wrote those... it's the secret dev.....

Anyways, write your suggestions on what the loading screen tips should be and pray to RN-G-sus that it will be heard.

Yes as far as I know there's a cap.

If there is a cap to how many u could add then just 3 ones from my side would be probably enough.

Maybe the most valuable 3 are the one about attack move, the other about ammo upkeep & the one from the sample i gave regarding AT guns & inf being hard to hit with AP tank cannons.

And the sarcastic version.

Outposting resources is crucial for team macro success, so make sure to choose PE/CW and let your colleagues pay for it.

Having troubles with mines? Just run them over with light vehicles. That will remove them just fine.

Most rifles shoot at 15% accuracy on the move. Make sure your units are stationary when firing rifles.

PM Rappa on discord for feet pics which turn all of your infantry into Stormtroopers that only cost 180 mp per squad and only 6.9 mp to reinforce.
