I agree, the rank brackets should be narrower. I fear that the matchmaker has no rank/rating brackets, when it can't find enough players in a given time frame, which will lead to bigger and bigger brackets. Instead they should just start with 6v6 or 8v8 players imho. You can argue with fault of the players in pro battles, but I don't think it fits to standardized battles, as these should provide a safe and continuous way to play without big imbalances. The system carries the responsibilities for standard battles.

Thanks Ninja, appreciated! Already wondered that the newer posts that appeared for a while, disappeared as well again.

^ That could be a Wiki article ;)

I'm sorry to disappoint the OP. Very nice drawing tho.

MM stands or falls with the quality of the balance it is able to provide in the battles.

I experience the issue that my newest posts are not listed when I visit my personal profile and go to "My content". The newest post I can see there is from end of January and I am quite sure, that I created 10+ posts in the meantime. Anybody knows why this happens and might have an idea how to fix it?

I wonder if and when XP/BP battles can be played via MM because MM is focused on standardized battles and so is XP/BP.

Yep, sounds interesting. I think that an absolute number makes way more sense in this regard than showing a percentage like the original idea suggested. I bet that a lot of paints will have a 0.0% share when you compare it with the total amount of accounts in the game. Having all active accounts would be better, but probably still won't change much. A problem I see is that the showing of numbers along with the cheaper and the more expensive paints makes it obvious that a lot of people leave the game in the early ranks, which in a way I consider as normal for games and for the internet itself...

You both should do a bet on the nerf of Magnum :P

They said that the team balancer of the MM will work by balancing out the strength of the players. This should be measured by a skill rating which takes factors like xp, equipment level, drug count, K/D into account. I understand that you have to balance it out, but it would be dull if we couldn't play with friends in those battles at all, because invites are disabled. TO said, that they want to balance out battle groups as well, so I expect that there will be a battle group in red if there is a battle group in blue. On the other side I am bit reluctant to believe that there will be a great balance as I consider that the concept and the financial side of the game is to have a bought advantage over others, so a 'perfect' balance can be harmful in this aspect.

Yep it is planned to be this way. Let's see how the cross-platform concept works out for Tanki.

You can check the numbers on the Alterations page and hover with your mouse over the advantage of the Unstable Plasma alteration. Max. splash damage range: 1 m Min. splash damage range: 7 m Weak damage of the splash damage at the 7 m range is 25 % of the original damage.

Sounds convincing. One could suggest that the Overdrive should activate once it reaches 100%. Would be worth to discuss it imho.

To revive this topic and to place a very good idea, which was posted here, into a more fitting place:

So RIDDLER got his 10k HP tank. When will it be golden?

The shape and the combination of Rail and Striker totally reminds me of the Mammoth Mk. III of C&C Tiberium Wars :P also the rocket launcher hover of C&C3 is kinda similar.

Should the map list be updated regarding the data of the modified maps for the normal battles?

Maf equipped with his troll combo :D

Would that be a single module for 50k? I think this suggested module would be too strong.

I would wait for the Magnum change and then evaluate the capabilities of defenders again.

I think it's also rather unpopular, because of the update that made the battle list show battles of only one game mode. I expect that a lot of people focus on CTF more than before, as it is the mode with the most battles. By the way, I have seen missions in the test server for both ASL and Rugby.

Great, thank you!

lel :D Thanks

I wondered in how many livestreams Hazel-Rah was involved until now. I found one from February and one from May. Does anybody know if he answered questions in another one?

In CTF you can't throw flags
