USMC_Tank_commander: I joined World of Tanks and World of warships a few months back and I although I hate matchmaking at least with those 2 got the system right. I am always put in a battle with players of no more than 1 rank higher than me and their system matches the types of firepower too. That is if I am playing with an M2 tank the opponents have at least 1 M2 or equivalent tank. Now that is a true matchmaking system and not this hodge-podge system that Hazel Rah concocted. And guess what! I never had any nebulous "an error has occurred" or lag or freezes. I have to say they are much better platforms than Tanki online. They also have training rooms where more senior players can organize training sessions so you can get familiar with tactics and weapons. Light years more advanced than this.

See my other post about the issues that I encountered with this "wonderful" piece of crap!

It proves only that one team was in a group. Maybe the other team was in a group too. Unfortunately they had a legend in there group. Anyway it is a legitimate concern and mismatch are likely too happen if group rank is not restricted. Ahahaaaaa! The only thing that it proves is that the tanki developers are incompetent! A fact that has been proven so many times! I just wonder why other games such as World of Tanks and World of Warships do not have this problem? Yes they have matchmaking, which I hate, but at least I play against players with similar ranks and weapons. gee, I wonder how they managed to do this and tanki developers can't! 90% of the time I play against players with the same rank and 10% with only 1 rank above me. Not too bad. But tanki developers cannot do that! I wonder why? Here is another mess up: 1. I click on the DM button. screen says Avg wait time: 1m 13s Current waiting time 3m 6s and I finally get in after 3 min!, or so I thought! Nope! error message popup: Server connection closed! 2. I refresh the browser and click on Dm. Progress Bar fills up and get's stuck just before the end! 3. error popup again: Server connection closed! 4. Refresh browser and click on DM 5. Progress bar approaches the end and boom! 6. Error message: Server is unavailable as it is under maintenance. we apologize for any inconvenience caused! Seriously? You guys are becoming the laughing stock of the gaming community! Good thing the game is still free because if you charged money for this crap you would have gone bankrupt for giving so many refunds! It is astonishing that when I think they cannot muck this game any more, they manage to muck it up even more!

Someone said that "Tanki's birthday celebration is around the corner" I say, that Tanki's death is approaching fast. Only idiots will be playing this game where a megalomaniac dumbass thought that it is better for badly designed software to choose what map I will be playing and against whom. so long tanki, it was fun while it lasted hope that your Soviet type of thinking destroys you just as it destroyed the Soviet Union. до свидания

Mr CooperO Regarding your edit of my post using insults all I have to say is: If you do not want players to use insults KINDLY REFRAIN from INSULTING OUR INTELLIGENCE by making changes that most players find useless. Edited by CooperO, 30 Apr 2018 - 12:29. Kindly refrain from using insults.

ThirdOnion Posted 30 Apr 2018 - 02:09 X-O, on 29 Apr 2018 - 19:03, said: 10 minute battles are in preparation for matchmaking. By then unbalanced battles (at least in terms of player count) will not be a problem and your whole point of "capping flags in first 5 minutes" is moot. Ahahaaaaa! The whole point is far from moot. I want to see you going up against 10 Legends when your team has only 1! The game will be balanced alright, but they can cap 1 flag and then stay and defend with much better tank combos and you can burn as many drugs as you want, but you will never make it near that flag..

Wow what a useless change! 10 min battles? Who thought of that? Matchmaking? who thought of that? Anyway, it seems a lot of long time players at the higher ranks are already abandoning the game. Looking at the available no-pro battles, I can see there are fewer they are since a few months ago. Right now 10:00 PM Pacific time there are 11,000 players and only 14 CTF battles for my Generalissimo rank. That is only 280 higher rank players doing missions! I remember times when that was 10 times that amount of players at this hour. I am already cutting back my playing time and switching to World of Tanks and especially to World of Warships which I am really starting to like it. Although, I do not like their matchmaking either at least their system MATCHES each type of ship one for one so the teams are balanced and no one is outgunned. (Unlike Tanki that dumped captains with Legents!) And guess what? I have been playing for 2 months now and I di not encounter ANY lag or any error! (like the nebulous "an error has occurred" that I get very often in Tanki!) RIP Tanki, although I know that always will be noobs joining, the old timers seems they are dropping off fast.

Well, it seems that Tanki is going to the matchmaking system that World of Tanks already has in place! Same thing with 10 players and 10 min battles! Mission chains now are too much for casual players and guess what! Tanki will be left with the noobies and perhaps a few diehards who have invested some serious money in this game. As far as I am concerned, I already have switched to WoT and guess what! So far I did not have one of those "an error has occurred" or any lag! If I am to be dumped in a map that I did not chose to play or play with people that I did not choose, why should I play the not so stable Tanki where you never know when you will get kicked out as you are about to cap a flag or "an error has occurred"? I will play a game that is stable and the tank I got and upgraded is the same today and tomorrow and will not change because a developer thought it should be nerfed.

"Golfinray Posted 11 Apr 2018 - 16:31 I still need 3 turrets and 2 hulls. I have all of them in M4 except I don't have: Rail, Shaft, Striker, Titan, Hunter I buy one, mu it all the way, buy one mu, etc I am strongly thinking rail. OR I could get Titan. What do you guys think?" For whatever it is worth, I have been playing for a long time with a Titan (rico, Thunder, fire) and have good results. I recently added a Griffon T-H m3 protection module that gives me strong protection (6/15 or 41% against Rico, Shaft, Magnum) and with Double Armor on, a Magnum has tough time killing me (it takes at least 3 or 4 direct hits and by then I am on top of them). Lately I have been using more Titan/Fire combo especially for DM missions on shorter maps or on maps with good cover (Kungur, Solikamsk, Osa) again with good results. My fire is M3, MUed to 11/20 with Compact Tanks on and it burns fast anything nearby without strong fire protection. Comes handy on DM missions or Missions with certain amount of Kills as it kills long after I get killed and re-spawned. It is also great for flag defense as they try to steal the flag because if you hit them, they will not go very far! What boils down to is that it all depends on the skill level of the player which one is more suitable for your style. I have seen players with Striker and Rail do things in DM that I could never do with these combos!

MM will make the game better? Only an ***** would think that a system where you cannot choose what map and who to play against or with is better! But I guess when you are raised in a society where the norm is that others will do the choosing for you, then MM would look good! What a putz! Yes, take a way our choices like you take away the things that we already paid for (nerfing of turrets and hulls and repair supply, etc). There always will be those people who think it is good while some of us, the free thinking players, will abandon the game for good. Meanwhile, the site was going up and down after restart and no word from the "developers"! Let me guess it was either a DoS attack or the "brilliant developers" messed up...again! Care to take a guess which one? Am I too sarcastic? Yes? Well good!

Also, am I the only one who noticed that every time they push an "update" that they expect to get a backlash from the players they run some sort of 'sale'? I am just waiting the see the "sale' when they push out the horrendous matchmaking system that the so called "game designer" dreamt while taking his morning dump!

I am not sure what they did to Titan, but it is not as responsive as it was when turning. The agility is gone and now I have to work the keys harder which puts a lot of pressure on the keyboard not to mention what it does to my arthritic hands! But as I had said before, my expectations from the Tanki developers is similar to my expectations of an amoeba; nothing much in general. Anyway, once the matchmaking system goes live, it will be good bye Tanki anyway.

Hazel does not need a haircut! He needs an attitude adjustment or better yet he needs to be shown the door because as a game designer he is just plain clueless! As a developer, he is just incompetent.

I always use the "Battle List" button to play the game. I only used the other buttons once just to see what they do, and it confirmed my fears. The just dumped me 99% of the time on a map that I did not want to be against players that were 99% Legend level with much more powerful combos. It was physically impossible to complete the 50 kills required for the mission! (By the way the reward was 15 speed boost and 10 mines. in other words, worthless!) Now that they are taking this option away, I will go away too.

Well, this is it for me! Once matchmaking goes live, I am out of here. There is no point of playing a game where I cannot choose where and who to play with. I guess the old Soviet mentality of taking FREEDOM OF CHOICE away from the players is alive and well in the Tanki gulag! I play this game for fun and this will no longer be fun. I used to like playing in maps like Berlin, Monte Carlo, Dusseldorf, Madness, Wave and other maps and now I have been reduced to play the same maps that a limited skills Tanki developer THINKS I should be playing! I have 4 other accounts that I play also and they will be inactive, so count 5 accounts as lost. I tried playing WoT and their matchmaking system sucks. Yes the battles are balanced by type of tank but not by player skill and you do not have a choice of maps but you get dumped 90% of the time on the same map. But I will say this about WoT: Their system is stable and error free. I have never encountered a technical problem such as I have seen in Tanki like the very descriptive "an error has occurred" or the severe lag that gets introduced every time there is a server restart. A week a go in Tanki, the parachutes of the supplies were suspended in the air after you picked up the supply and of course the mouse controls would stop working and you could not turn your turret within one minute in to the game! Remember that/ And Yes, those are the same developers that will dictate to the players, where and who to play against! Good luck Tanki! It was fun while it lasted!

So why don't you explain it to us common folk so we will know not to play the game because it is "fraudulent"? However, when you make such an accusation, you should be able to back it up to anyone who asks you. You made this statement in public, and the public asks you to back it up. What are you afraid of? Tanki Online is a free game and you have a choice to play it or not, to spend money or not but you do not have the choice of making libelous statements publicly without been able to offer proof to whoever asks you regardless of their status. Your statement implies that Tanki Online has committed a crime which is a serious accusation. We as players it is reasonable to ask you yo provide proof because we want to know if we are supporting a "fraudulent" company by participating in the game.

I start my reply with the disclaimer that I am not affiliated with the Tanki organization in any other way but as a player. I am not an employee, or helper, or moderator or have any relationship with Tanki Online whatsoever. Calling them a fraud is a serious allegation and you offer no proof of your accusation! For your information the definition of fraud is "A false representation of a matter of fact—whether by words or by conduct, by false or misleading allegations, or by concealment of what should have been disclosed—that deceives and is intended to deceive another". Tanki Online maybe called many things, such as incompetent developers, arrogant SOB's (Hazel-Rah) and such but fraud it is NOT! They have never, at least for the years that I have been playing, displayed a fraudulent behavior. Dumb? yes. Fraudulent? NO! The rules of the game are very clear if you bother to read them. So, The game has some bugs (what software doesn't?) and the WAR GAME had some bugs and it gave me only 30 containers although I played for the winning side EN and some players got twice that amount. So what? That was due to bad programming and lack of clear instructions and thorough testing before the game started. However, you can hardly call that fraud. I got 30 containers that had a few 20,000 cry packs and numerous supplies that amount to a total of over 300,000 cry. Not bad for a week's free play! I play this game just for fun and so far I have not spent not even a single penny and I have at least 3 M3's combos MUed at least half way and a few thousand supplies. Also, as an IT professional for over 25 years, I can tell you that as developers, Tanki's Quality Control methods leave a lot to be desired! However, they have managed to create a platform, despite the bugs, that at least you can play the game for free and have fun in the process if you get into it with an open mind. I have said many things over the course of my play about Tanki, but I would not say they are a FRAUD! Now, it is your turn to explain why you think they are a fraud.

Not only the forum is slow but also the game has some new glitches: 1. the parachutes of the supplies just hang in the air if you get the box before it hits the ground 2. I cannot turn my turret using the mouse controls. I enter the game just fine and after a minute of playing time the mouse controls work only to fire the turret but not to turn it. I did not have this problem today until AFTER the restart. Hmmmmm, what are the developers doing now? By the way, I tried this on 4 different accounts and they all have the same problem. I am using either Internet Explorer or Firefox because of the mouse controls and I did not have these problems until today's restart.

yeah, i got the same problem with the parachutes hanging in the air and also I have a problem turning my turret with the mouse controls. I never had that problem before using Firefox or Internet Explorer. I played quite a bit this morning and I did not have any problems, These problems started after the restart. I guess the developers are experimenting again!

Well, I guess the "brilliant" tanki developers must have sneaked another "update" because now it is so slow to even get in to the game to the point of just giving up. I am getting a message saying "you have been removed from battle due to inactivity"! Are you kidding me? I haven't even entered the battle! I just have the bar that never completes! Nice going there! Perhaps you should move the server into a real data center and out of Hazel Rah's garage. Also, please, no more "fixes" since those tend to break the game rather than fix it. But since the developers do not read these comments, we will never know if our complaints are even passed on to them.

Me too! Tanki is losing interest because of too many problems. It seems that most of the higher ranks just log on to complete the missions and then they logout. I have several accounts at various ranks and I can find more battles at the lower ranks. The biggest problem for losing interest is that we cannot create battles for the maps we want unless we get a pro pass. I have not seen any non-pro battles on Monte Carlo, Berlin and other maps that were popular in the past. Also, this push for the horrendous Matchmaking idiocy is driving a lot of old-timers away. They keep trying to fix the lag but they know they made it worse by adding all this code to have the stupid battle buttons that dump you on a random battle that is not even balanced! (oh yeah! I love getting destroyed with one shot by a fully drugged up Legend at spawn!). The only button you need is the Battle List with the filters on. Anything else on the main screen is useless. But then again it seems the only way to get rid of the lag and the errors is to 1. get more competent programmers 2. move the homemade white box servers out of Hazel Rah's garage to a real data center with real servers and plenty of bandwidth! Now, what are the odds of either one happening?

"Yours truly" is used as an alternative to the pronoun 'I' or 'me' it is referring to oneself. In other words Nives will be there participating in the event. Also,in American English "Yours truly" is a complimentary phrase used to end a letter or message. Now you know! Yours Truly jjg_the_dark

Time does flow but that's not the point. What you don;t get is that they could of had made all sales to run at the same time. Also keep in mind that there are quite a few players who do not have enough crystals to get a better combo, yet they are dumped in maps with much higher ranks with much better combos. Not having to wait 5 days for the equipment to be upgraded it would be better for all players. I'd love to meet your m3 isida/hornet with an m2 fire/titan combo or even an m2 freeze/wasp combo. Hey keep on buying so the rest of us can play the game for free even if we gripe.

Oh yeah! and you by an MU and then either have to wait 6 days for the upgrade or you have to spend about 20K in cry to speed up! Totally worthless. And why aren't all the sales on at the same time and last the full week? Why do they have to space them out? Well, if you have not figured that out yet, eventually you will!
