Paulistex Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Suggestion Name: Country flag next to the name (tag) Suggestion Description: Put a flag on the trucker's ID Any example images: Why should it be added?: Would allow for better visual communication, which would be highly valued by many truckers! (remembering: this will be optional) Edited May 11, 2017 by Paulistex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creatured Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 has been suggested before and it wouldn't really be that handy due to people using VPN services 1 In Game Status: || || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a game of trucks where cars were added, flags of countries would not be something so absurd. It would be something optional, as TAG is today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maluf18 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I will speak Portuguese because we are BR rs ... I do not think it is very useful, for that legal, but just put for example RUS in the tag that everyone knows that a person is from Russia, do not need to put a flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.StεvƐ. Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 -1 first off, it should never be mandatory, I for one would rather keep what country I'm from to myself and those I work with, just for the simple principle that you can easily get people who will only troll those who are from x country because that's what they feel like doing. Also so if you make where people are from public, don't you think you'll get people who will block certain people or name call and disrespect people through the CB over their nationality. It may seem outrageous to mention, but in the world that we live in at the moment, it is entirely possible that it can happen. besides, there are far more useful and important things that should be added to multiplayer way beforehand.

Miles! Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) -1. I don't live in the country I was born in and I only speak little local language, so I'd have to VPN it to get any relevant use out of it. Will probably lead to a lot of people speaking to me and me not being able to respond. Plus, some of us want to keep where we are from hidden, I don't care tbh, I've made it public within view of this post but in game could be irritating, just saying it for the people who do care about hiding where they are from. As an optional feature, yeah sure it's not bad, but I wouldn't want it mandatory. Edited May 11, 2017 by Miles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killua // Ireland ^_^ Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) -1 I don't think this is needed and not everyone wants to show what country they are from. Many people have their country in their name or tag and some have their country's flag as the profile/steam pic so its already pretty easy to show what country your from already with out this, I got the country i'm from in my name APL // Killua // Ireland (haven't logged out of the forum yet so my name on the forum hasn't changed) This is a nice idea tho I just don't see the need for it Edited May 11, 2017 by Killua (DavidOC93) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sko0923 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 It would be a cool add IMO but I don't think it would be necessary when the TMP team can spend time on other more useful things, such as a server side economy system. As mentioned above, those who want to share the language they speak or country they are from can change their profile picture, put a keyword in their name (eg. [RUS] for Russian), or use the window flags DLC and put a country flag outside their truck (although not everybody would see it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirko9 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 -1 from me because if you bought DLC National flags you can have flag on the mirros and it's easier than developing this suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:EUROTRANS: DiDiTV [NL] Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 -1 We don't really need it. If you want that other people know your country, you can put it in your name or profile photo. Also you can use the National Flags DLC to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have flags but its not easy to see them on the move, not a bad idea but it's not needed as we can use profile pic with our country flag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniellus Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 It has been already suggested long time ago. But im on it its good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirrland Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I'm fairly neutral with this idea, it has its ups and downs. As others said though, it should never be compulsory. On top of that, I feel that there would be a large discrimination against certain players' countries due to their country's lackluster reputation for bad driving in-game. However, it would be pretty cool to view which language others speak and possibly make new friends.

Guest Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 No, i think it's useless. About 95% the players have already a flag or the name of the country in their nametag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[RSL] Chio San Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 It might be a nice gadget,but I think the game and the MP offer enough possibilities to draw attention to where you come from and which language you speak... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJakeeee Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Would be cool to see because you could break into conversation with someone from your own country for example: "Are you enjoying the heatwave?" XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trucking Gekco Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 +1 from me... This would be a neat thing to have in the game, it should absolutely be optional though. That way if it is optional users can disable it if they want. On 5/24/2017 at 9:46 AM, KmunBiene said: No, i think it's useless. About 95% the players have already a flag or the name of the country in their nametag. The truck flags will only be visible to those who own the DLC, and ATS doesn't have a flag DLC. Also 99.99% of the players I pass in game don't have their country as the tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJakeeee Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I think as @Trucking Gekco has stated above it should be opinional but I think most will opt for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
