As of today I have 667 battery packs (daily missons - containers) and no drone. I don't wish to buy a drone. So for me these battery packs are useless. Why give daily rewards or put stuff in containers that some can use and some not ? To make us buy drones maybe ?

Picked up 2 new supplies in 2 battles today, think most of the players still don't know wat they stand for.

Something to consider, thx.

But then not everybody has a Pro-pass or wants to buy one as Pro-battles don't contribute to daily missions.

What else can it be ? Mults ? Players in garage ? Players having a nap ? ;) * 'add this to list of Match-Maker faults' -> how, where ? * 'MM needs a lobby where players wait for teams to fill (and can select appropriate combo for team and/or map)' -> good idea. Would even be better if you could also see which player is using which hull/turret combo, so you can select your appropriate combo based on what others have + map to play in.

Mybe YOU can see them already in battle but THEY are still waiting to be fully joined ? Sometimes joining a battle can take several minutes (in my case) and while I am looking at the splash screen loading the others see my tank already in the battle (idle of course).

Longer than you, i guess. And no, i didn't buy it. But that's not important. Maybe some patience and politeness could help.

I think you missed the point, he doesn't WANT those batteries.

Sounds fine to me. As an It-professional I am fully aware of the complexity of programs like this : the analysis, writing, testing, implementing, bug-fixing, going back to the drawing board, etc... I know too well how one change or serie of changes can influence something completely different, unexpectedly. But that is the technical side of things. Another matter is the listening to what the users (ie. the players) want or suggest. In a way this feedback is a form of 'testing' too. Let them play and listen to them, all comments are valuable. Learn from what your end-users have to say, as they are finally the ones who make or break your product. A final and practical question. How or where will we get this feedback you suggest ?

Admin/mod hasn't come down from ivory tower yet. :D

The chat-problem is quite easy to stop, no ? Make sure you have enough chat-mods and instruct them to be severe with that kind of behaviour. No respect = minimum 1 day ban. When other rat-kids, as u call them, see that they will stop soon enough. Also multi-lingual mods (yes, those ppl exist) could be helpfull. Btw, I applied for chat-mod a while ago, didn't even get an answer... So I suppose there are more than enough of them (according to TO). Question about this topic/forum. Quite a few are raging about MM, some are making suggestions to improve it, ... Fact is that there is a lot of commotion going on about this. Do the devs read/know this ? Are they (in their ivory towers ?) aware of the fact that the plebs is grumbling ? I've seen worse ... :blush:

Maybe I should finally start using all the drugs I saved over the last few years wisely : 2060 RC 7940 DA 8280 DD 8690 SB 7428 mines 209 batt Aversion ? Not really. I just never got into the habit of using them (constantly). With a lot of players I see them spawning and as they do a DA or DD appears. That's not the way I play, but maybe I am wrong and thus ranking slower than most of the others. I'll have a look at your comment concerning isida and DM. I have an M2 with 10/10 MU (= M3) but still have to wait 2 rank up to be able to buy it as a full M3 and further upgrade it.

I agree with you to a certain extent, but still consider Tanki as a Team-effort. And to make it clear, I don't wish or ask to be dropped into battles with much higher ranked players. The MM does that. It's no fun for me and no fun for them.

Look at it from my 'noob'-perspective (Lieutenant General) too. Do you think it's much fun to be dropped into a battle with all Legends or Generalissimo's ? With my few M2s and 2 M3s I am no match for those high ranks with MU'd M3 or M4 equipment. I never last longer than 15 seconds, every opponent overpowers me, especially since heavy drugging seems to be the rule rather than the exception lately.

True, the numbers aren't correct.

With your rank you should not complain. In 'lower' ranks (like mine) I often get dropped in matches where I am the only one lower than Commander.

I never leave a battle early, no matter how bad or what the circumstances are. Tanki is about teamplay : you don't let your teammates down, no matter what.

I couldn't agree more. And what can I do with my Lieutenant-General (mostly M2 and 2 M3s) acc in a battle with all Legends and Generalissimo's (M3 - M4) ? So not only the number of players is not balanced, same goes for the ranks. What the 7-1 with 1 minute remaining example concerns : some winning teams deliberately do not score that last goal or flag just to get more xp at the end of the battle. Very frustrating when outnumberd and outranked.

I meant clean everything cache, cookies, history, passwords, .... Everything you can select in CCleaner. Sometimes then it works, sometimes not.

I don't play with the client, I play in a browser.

Don't have the TankiOnline folder in C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming

I can't play PRO battles, so no answer to your question. As my missions are not very specific, I very often choose 'Quick battle'. But even if I choose a specific type, the result is the same. Today I managed to play 2 games, all the rest aborted. I play in browser (usually firefox) and clear browser history every time my PC starts (CCleaner), so no cookies-matter.

My (then 10-year old) son started playing it 3 or 4 years ago because of a friend who did. I thought it would be fun to play with him, so I created my own account and we played a lot together (in those days it was still easy to join a friend's battle). As we had almost identical nicknames it was fun to see the reactions of other players sometimes. About a year ago he stopped playing (Fortnite !!!), but I still do.
