    Ideas for Game Modes!

    New Scoring System Detrimental to Team Spirit I could not find a category suitable for this feedback, and I could not find in the recent patches where this change was mentioned. Based on my observation, the player who makes the kill in team games gets the full 15 points. The players who make assists, whether it is minimal or whether they make a 99% damage, get 5 points. Isida cures even from zero health to full health get 5 points, but it is still the first target for a kill because it makes it harder for enemies to kill team mates. For Isidas, it makes healing team mates a sacrifice without any real reward. If you make a kill, you get 15 points; if you make a minimal assist, you get 5 points; if you spend a minute healing a team mate, you get 5 points. So, you are better off, doing minimal kill assists or trying to steal a kill. For other players, when somebody spends a minute trying to kill an enemy and you pass by and make the kill, you actually steal the kill. You get 15 points, and they get 5 points. If your team mate thinks straight, your help is unwelcome, because they were a second away from getting 15 points, and you took it away, leaving them 5 points. In addition to damaging team spirit as above, when you find a team mate about to die, instead of helping them kill the enemy and maybe taking 5 points, you are better off letting your team mate die, so they would get 5 points, and then making (or stealing) the kill and getting 15 points. That is bad for the team. Basically, the new scoring system, promotes behavior that hurts the team. Previously, you used to get a portion of the score for killing an enemy proportional to your help. Isidas used to get about 10 or more points for healing team mates. Now, with the removal of unfreezing and unflaming of team mates, an Isida becomes a target for the first kill for nothing--a kamikase, so using Isidas is discouraged. Isidas will probably be taken away from the game because at some point nobody will be suicidal enough to use them. Thanks.

    Thanks. Sorry. I did not know.

    Ideas for Game Modes!

    Assault and "Defense" are actually two difference modes, and should be separated and each should have its own button. Some people like to play in the red team and some like to play in the blue team. These are as different as CTF and RGB. They are not just team colors like the other modes. Thanks.

    Removal of Hard Missions

    I have to say that if what they say is the case, they have a strange programming methodology. Normally, I would randomly pick a class of missions, say according to difficulty level. Say we have 10 difficulty level. I would have the random number generator or whatever pick a difficulty level, say it picked 3. Each difficulty level has a pool of different missions. Then you would randomly pick a mission of those. Each difficulty level has a pool of rewards. You would pick a reward for that mission. Now, let's come to difficulty level 10, i.e. 9999 enemies and 99999 exp points. There would be a pool of rewards. All you have to do is remove the XT rewards from that pool, and you are done. That said, am I now supposed to distrust the Devs competence or their honesty?

    Removal of Hard Missions

    I hope if someone has a partial hard mission you will give them a prorated prize if they get removed. Eg. I am halfway through 9999 enemies, I get half the prize (as long as it can be divided).
  7. You said the PRO is a small group. May I ask, why are you making their lives miserable at every chance you get? What is the big deal if they disappeared or joined the non-Pro huge group? How is that going to make your lives wonderful?

    Tanki Thinking Challenge

    Since this is not going the only contest or quiz ever, why not rotate it between say 8 am and 8 pm, so it can be more fair? What is the benefit of not doing that?

    Testing of Matchmaking System on EU servers

    It does not make sense for TO to install a matchmaking system while leaving free battle lists available without a hefty punishment for those who will use the free battle list. TO knows that otherwise nobody will use the MM system. Do you remember the last time TO made a desirable update? Me neither. Actually, I remember allowing the use of equipment while they were being upgraded, but that's about it. Unfortunately, the future is grim.

    Testing of Matchmaking System on EU servers

    The quote went off somehow, this is from DaringDeer. My recommendation is to drop the matchmaking system update and instead provide a unified list of games across all servers that meet the players' criteria. A simple search where you can choose format, game type, map size, minimum and maximum ranks. Allow players to save these search criteria to allow them to re-run them in the future. This is comparatively simple as opposed to developing a balanced matchmaking system. This is what I have been asking for for a few years. I am sorry if this is harsh, but I am afraid that TO does not have the prowess to pull the matchmaking system off. It will end up ruining the game completely kind of like it ruined the CP scoring system. A CP 50 score game can end in a few minutes or a few hours. There is no saying when it may end. Can you guys at least make the score advance only forward? Have the losing team jump 2 points at a time, but do not keep the score going back and forth like a seesaw. Anyway, I digress. Please do not put this system in without at least trying it several times and not ending up having new people join the forum just to complain about it. This is a serious thing. Do not keep forcing people do things your way. In the end, they will leave. You are supposed to improve the user experience for players, not for you. Why don't you guys hire someone who will only play the game and have them give you feedback? Don't take the feedback from people who only watch the game or play an hour a year. Good luck. You really need it.

    Mission completion is no longer flagged.

    You must be so proud of this brilliant reply, but you really should not. Who is the customer here? The players or the developers and their minions?

    It may be intentional, but I really hate the fact that you do not have access to your missions from the battle.

    We lost but it was a fun game in a long time.

    That and a gold box.
  17. I miss PRO games. I know they are still there, but since I now play much less than before, I do not have time to play PRO games since I have to do the missions in drug wars, and I never use drugs.
  18. Sometimes, I get the re-enter battle a lot, like once or twice a minute or so. Aren't they supposed to be working on that?

    As far as I know 14000 does not divide by 3.
  22. I played Cologne CP, and my entire team got 0 crystals. Was that a glitch, or are the old days coming back somehow?

    May Holidays, Sales and Goodies Coming!

    I think it was a temporary problem. The pull down menu to choose servers was gone (empty), and the daily mission button did not do anything. I tried it both with the browser and the download client. The problem went away.

    What happened to the daily missions?
