Custom flags for clans

[bolek83]

I think that custom made flags would be very nice for clans to show their colors in the game

maybe it should be made as is in wot for clan made stickers

I actually like the idea, but it will be probably rejected because of server load issues.

Clan flags - yeah, why not.

But color is not that important, because many clans has the same color. And you are aware that men can see only red, yellow, green, black and white color

[xXx_Blogis_xXx]

nice idea ,would like it in game

thats an so to speak 'clan colors' it means clan crest logo or whatever

maybe but i think it would stress the servers just as much as an ranked battles flags so it should not be a problem

[SV_Kompresor]

I'd actually prefer the insignia be put on the ship itself rather than as yet another flag....perhaps on the bow of the ship on each side?

It would cause issues especially with certain national legal jurisdictions e.g. the National Socialist flag as a clan flag if one of that match's clients were positioned in Germany.

thats not an server issue and that can be filtered

That idea, despite being admirable, has been rejected.

Because Swastikas.

as i told in the post before, that can be filtered by account ban

Manually? For every single clan that gets created? It's relatively manageable now, but what about when the game grows further? What about images of penises or other politically contentious symbols? This kind of thing seems to unnecessarily complicate the game.

I neither see any server load issues nor do I see issues with "unacceptable content":

 

1. In order to avoid too many flags, WG could charge some amount of doubloons

2. Flag is only available to usernames associated with a clan in question - so if you leave the clan, the flag is no longer available (i.e. availability is server based and not client based)

3. WG support checks the flags for inappropriate content before making them available (doubloon price from point 1. covers the expense for effort)

 

All in all, great idea and it would be nice if WG would work on it as it does not require too much effort imho.

i doubt that clans will just throw svastikas around when they risk 2500 doubloons for clan and an acc ban, and by an screen shot you as a player can send an report and wargamings personel can deal with it without taking a look at every clans flag there is in the game

Thank you m8

All this about 'bad' emblems... And yes, I am aware this is the INTERNET, a retched hive of scum and villainy.

But I find this argument strange:

• You can already have a clan emblem in WoT
• Making an option to disable clan flags, just like you can disable ARP ships, shouldnt be too hard
• As stated above, chances are people with 2500 doubloons invested do not wish to be banned

[Pekoe_Darjeeling]

Pay 5500 gold tovarish and you can have some flags da. But in a 2 years because now we are busy.

 

 It's relatively manageable now, but what about when the game grows further?

 

I wouldn't say this game is going to have any bright future anyway lel

[Corvi]

It works in WoT, so why not have it here too. 

[RobS80]

I am looking forward to seeing the guys from clan [bewbs] in game now more than ever before. Giggle. 

[ajappat]

I don't see why server load would be problem when it clearly isn't in wot. I've also never seen inappropriate pictures on wot clan logos. I guess they get eliminated quite quickly through players reporting them.

 

However, before anything else, could we please have proper clan pages like wot has. What's the point of clan if other players can't even see what the clan is called (other than abbreviation) or who else is there.

It doesn't?

 

1. Flag has to be uploaded.

2. Flag has to be approved by Wargaming. This includes...

• Check for appropriate content
• Check for potential copyright issues

3. Flag has to be integrated into the client.

4. Flag has to be awarded to clan members.

5. Flag needs to be removed from non-clan members. And as far as I am aware, there is currently no way to remove a flag from an account once it is awarded. So that functionality has to be programmed into the client as well.

 

That's a lot of effort for a little graphical gimmick, that is barely noticable during combat.

1. Flag has to be uploaded.

That's about the easiest thing in the world. They just define the size and pic type (e.g. PNG file, 1,625 width/height ratio, 32bit depth), and all uploading can be handled via web.

2. Flag has to be approved by Wargaming. This includes...

• Check for appropriate content - That requires some work, but as I said they will get payed for that
• Check for potential copyright issues  I cannot imagine that there would be copyright issues. As a simple analogy, just imagine how many copyright breaches there are with forum avatars (probably mine included), and I do not see a torrent of lawsuits. Also, such issues can be easily avoided by EULA whereby you pass the responsibility to the uploading party

3. Flag has to be integrated into the client. Flag functionality is already in the game. Hence the only thing is to include the approved ones in say .pkg file which will be distributed during patch/micropatch

4. Flag has to be awarded to clan members. Flag award functionality depending on criteria is already in the game code, so we are talking about minor adjustments. Not even to mention that they already award KoTs flags to specific players which do not even constitute an entire clan

5. Flag needs to be removed from non-clan members. And as far as I am aware, there is currently no way to remove a flag from an account once it is awarded. So that functionality has to be programmed into the client as well. Flag removal functionality depending on criteria is already in the game code - e.g. various ranked flags (which you gain or lose after criteria are met), so again we are talking about minor adjustments

 

That's a lot of effort for a little graphical gimmick, that is barely noticable during combat.

Could we also get custom gfx effects of sailors licking windows on our ships?

 

Would represent our clan better than some piece of cloth flopping in the breeze.

[Pekoe_Darjeeling]

Because of the same reason as always - they don't care in slightest. I mean they could do all those small things, little upgrades that make the game better but their priority Is not to make game better but make it just enough to be playable and milk money as much as possible.

everything you state here as a problem is allready in the game as flags for ranked battles etc. as stated by daki
