The only real way I would like to see IK controls introduced would be through the modmakers discretion and/or an option to use these, but I do agree that newer ways of functionality would do a lot for Toribash.

Along with a bigger income, nabi can hire paid devs to implement some new features. I think for the moment toribash next supercedes toribash, and nabi realizes that.
But more money for nabi means more freedom to code and create new ideas for this game.
I want to have high hopes for TBN but I just think they're just throwing make up on a corpse, the make up being 3v1,2v2,1v1v1v1, and the corpse being normal old Toribash that has been the same thing for 12 years but in Unity. I'm really just worried about the future of Toribash and Nabi.

If you've got any ideas on what could be used in the dialogue and what and how certain topics should be talked about, I think staff might be interested to hear ( I can't speak for them though, I'm not staff)
I'll have to work on a more detailed version of this throughout the week as I'm really busy right now(just got moved to 10 hour shifts) but this is very much so something I believe could completely flip the script on Toribash's longer term success.

I agree they should be combined I also believe it'll help the SEO of Toribash a lot too for ranking with popular searches due to the longevity of the site as well as how large it is post-wise.

I was the same way, I would be in-game always hearing people talk about the forum but when I first joined I was very young(I was 11 I believe) and wasn't really all that familiar with forums and becuase I only knew of
www.toribash.com I didn't really realize there was a lot more beyond that.

lootcrates and keys.

basically lootcrates would be useless unless they gave people items they couldn't normally get with all this inflated tc lying around, and no qi items get boring really quick .
Idk I feel like there could be certain things done that could make for great lotteries and if done could be content for earlier mentioned social media pages, I've always supported the idea of bringing back lotteries and I honestly don't believe this is a bad idea.
