That sorta sucks. That means for me to have an M2 Firebird module, I will have had to spend 130,000 crystals in total instead of just 100,000 I get punished for fully upgrading my M0 module...not fair at all.

New stat in profile...Time Spent in Queue It may sound like I'm being facetious, but I think this would make a very interesting statistic along with K/D, time in the game, effectiveness, time spent in CTF, DM, etc. I would be very interested in seeing how long I've spent waiting in queue overall. It would probably be pretty easy to track for each player as most of the code is probably already in place. "Time Spent in Queue" might even be an achievement...cumulative of 1 hour, 10 hours, etc. It might very well put some perspective on the small amount of time in queue vs time playing the game.

I have an M0 Firebird module at 15 (max MU) but I am not able to make it go to M1. Usually there is a "Buy M1 for 0 crystals". I've tried to upgrade it, but it's just stuck.

I really some of your terminology :) It does indeed look like Tanki is going the way of Runescape...complete reliance on drugs (they give them out in gross quantities, everybody is going to use them), Overdrive, very expensive drones, nerfed turrets, nerfed hulls, and soon more drones, magic hulls, and who knows what other superzingoslickpay&win contrivance. Removing choice and strategy in favor of button pushing and buy-a-doodad is probably not the best business model...ask the folks at Runescape :)

Show MU level in Profile Show the MicroUpgrade level of each component along with the component that is owned. It sounds like a lot, but the info is in the garage and should only take a link-ish type of coding. Each MU is shown in battle when you press V or R so it is already public information. WHY? Because in the heat of battle, it is difficult to press V and actually see the numbers as they move around with the opponents tank and that split second to view the opponents stats generally gets you killed...especially in higher ranks and DM on a smallish map. Many times after a match, I would love to know what level of equipment was slaughtering me.

I truly feel that if you can draw more players into the forum and engage them, they will become even more active at playing the game. The forum only enhances the Tanki experience....time spent here will only make people want to play the game more

If this is now how it will be every day and not just a glitch, our account should automatically open in our garage, not the lobby. News and chat are still showing in garage so there is no downside. At the very least, there should be an options in settings to open in either garage or lobby.

Is there any way to tie in Google Translate? Maybe a quire to Google...they may have some add on program already in place.

I meant that it would be an automatic function otherwise there would be absolutely no way to control payouts...how many times someone logged in or even if they logged in. It is programming and it exists so I figured it would automatically be applied to some small reward for a first post or a "hi" post, or even a "click this to get your whatever button" on the forum. I certainly didn't think a poor mod would have to sit with a pencil and paper compiling a list of 80,000 players and checking and cross referencing them to previous recipients.

You might even consider putting a link to the forum within the players lobby console. If you really want to bump up knowledge that the forum exists, offer one free container (or 200 crystals...whatever) to just log into the forum, say hi in a specific "Hi" thread, and get the prize. Put this announcement in the news section and run it a couple of times...one prize per player. Run a contest with the entry having to be posted in the forum in the specific contest thread...like Why I like MatchMaking...wait, nah, there wouldn't be any entries.

It is so frustrating that nothing will be done about MatchMaking no matter how much we vent. I am sick to death of being put on the losing team...every damn time. I don't care that the loser funds have been increased...I don't care that there are double battle funds and that payouts are attractive even for losers. I like WINNING. I hate to try my best and than have half the team quit to be replaced by new meat...constant loss means defeat no matter what you do. I hate getting spawn killed. MATCHMAKING IS TERRIBLE AND AWFUL AND...well, JUST AWFUL We are helpless and can do nothing other than take what is dished out to us, or quit. I hope no one EVER sends these jokers any real money...even if it shuts the game down...a curse on these poxy dev fools.

OK, thanks for the reply...at least I know it is not just my account.

It seems like part of the new module mechanic is to UNEQUIP modules everyday at reset...at least that is what happened today. On this acct and my alt accounts there was no protection...all unequipped. I've noticed in battles that many players have no protection active. This may just be a temporary glitch or it might be something new. If this happens everyday it will be very irritating to have to go into garage after every reset and equip your protections...very easy to forget, and time consuming.

After I posted this, I had a couple of days where "My Content" mostly worked again, but now it is back to the same thing. The latest post appearing in "My Content" is from Feb 2018. Is there a way to delete some of the content, like a cache or is this just a bug in the forum system? I would like to get some help to get this fixed if anyone knows anything about the forum mechanics.

ehhhhh, What's up Doc? ...That was what I thought...or a misspelling of moron. s'OK, I don't really mind...MM has made us all a bit grumpy :)

tiny brain...maroon (too much bugs bunny for you i guess) ...tisk tisk...personal attacks when someone says something that doesn't agree with what you think. Anyway, is there ANYONE that hasn't had 1, 2, 3 5 minute waits? It is almost always 30 seconds to a minute if not longer. 2 minutes is not uncommon. And as far as "right rank" goes, MM doesn't seem to care much about keeping ranks close...I've been in many battles with 8, 10 , 12 and even 15 different ranks. I've seen 25 and 26 rank spread...unusual, but I have seen it. The Battle Button matched ranks better and closer than MM. My point of you tediously going through the list to find a suitable is that YOU DID NOT NEED TO DO THAT...just click any battle from the list and that is exactly what MM does for you. YOU DID NOT NEED TO SELECT A BATTLE, but you wanted or decided it would be better for you. MM does not give you that option...it just put you into a battle with no regard for duration, winning losing, or really even rank brackets...do you not see my point here? Before you got to choose, now you don't. I believe you like MM... good for you! Some people probably don't do well with options. And for you, no more tediously trying to find a suitable battle..just a battle will do...GREAT! For me that is highly inferior and, I think, if you ponder this for a moment you might even agree....remember as you ponder, the tedious choosing was CHOICE, your choice...now you don't have any choice. Anyway, we disagree. The world would be a very boring place if everyone thought the same thing.

I got 50 in a container...blah...for now. I have a feeling that drones/batteries will be adjusted in a few weeks or a couple of months. Tanki wants them actively used and right now hardly anyone can afford them.

batteries...well, at least now there is something more useless to get in containers than mines. :)

? Really? Are you serious with this or are you kidding? If you are actually serious, the 5 minutes you spent looking for a battle was spent DOING something not just staring at a screen. You also were exercising you own CHOICE. With MM the choice is made for you...which you could have duplicated in less than 2 seconds instead of your 5 minutes of choosing...click ANY battle from the battle list, winning, losing, ANY amount of time left on ANY map available. MM chooses the blowout for you instead of you choosing to avoid a potential blowout. 99% of the posts here are pointing out flaws in MM...that is because there are countless flaws with MM. ONLY if you consider lack of control and choice an improvement does MM outshine the previous system. MatchMaking is fundamentally flawed so there are MANY flaws to point out.

Gosh, you put in so much work on this! I think your heart is in the right place, but so much of this is just not feasible because it relies on things working the way they should...not the way they really do work. Example: 5 minute cools down: What if the player gets disconnected? What if the player has an emergency and has to be AFK for over 2 minutes? What if Tanki generates a critical error and the player can't re-enter the same game...what if MM sticks a rank 8 in with the opposing team of all rank 23s (happens) does the 8 just get ground up for ten minutes after waiting however long in queue for this battle just to wait in queue for the battle after...like 15 minutes wasted for 0 kills & 0 crystals, because he can't leave without a penalty. Plus the week long cooldown, if I understand what you are suggesting, is just WAY too harsh. I think something like this would decimate the player population if it were imposed. Even a one time 5 minute penalty is too harsh. I actually believe Tanki already has something like this in place already...it's just the normal queue. You quit a battle and will will have to wait in queue again for another random battle that may be even worse. Does anyone really believe that MM, a software program, actually needs 1, 2, 3, 5 minutes to toss players into random battles like it is doing? The Battle Button didn't even take that long why should MM?....I doesn't. It is engineered into MM to keep players from quitting a battle early. Either that or it is absolulty pathetic programing.

This may be true, but should you have to wait 5 minutes even one time to enter a battle? ...or 3 minutes? ...baring bugs of course. The fact is MM is terrible and inconvenient. I almost ALWAYS have to wait at least 1 minute...30 to 45 seconds to spawn so that is almost 2 minutes already. Many times I spend 2 or 3 minutes to get into a battle that is 80% finished. When put into a battle have NEVER been put in the winning team...always losing. This happens 2, 3 and even 4 times in a row. This is lots and lots of wasted downtime just waiting and waiting for a crap battle. MM is nothing more than the Battle Button with a queue...well, worse since the Battle Button had set rank brackets where MM does not. MM has not brought any improvement in multing...just different kinds of mults. All it has done is taken away ALL choice and control and given back NOTHING other than long waits and forced gameplay on losing teams with forced duration of battle. MatchMaking is absolute GARBAGE and needs to gotten rid of because it STINKS.

I guess nobody comes in to work at restart time...maybe a couple more hours till anyone at Tanki takes notice...remember that gold box glitch for like 3 hours after reset...all drop zones filled with gold boxes? With as many players as they have you'd think they would have at least one staff member in the office at all times.

controls not showing since reset...actually reset was odd and very fast...no downtime. No chat in the lobby or game...once you enter a game you can't leave unless you wait more than the 2 minutes Anyway, somebody might want to get around to looking at this. Sorry a7x_Pedro48 I didn't notice you had posted this already...I got distracted by the pic of you in CP and thought it was a different issue.

MatchMaking is not match making....it's just random battles with a long queue. They worked on this for more than a year and this is all they got????? Very lame, very lame. It's the Battle Button with a queue...worse actually since the Battle Button had rank limits at least. Homogenized turrets, hulls, maps, and now even scores/rewards.

The scoring looks crazy to me, MM is crazy, the rank brackets are crazy, the long waiting in queue is crazy, the drones and batteries are crazy, the XT skin thing is crazy, playing in off hours is almost not do-able due to the long long long waits to get into an mismatched battle...crazy, what Tanki did to modules and giving so many the shaft, as it were, is crazy (I do like the new module set-up though)...is there anything happening in Tanki that is not CRAZY...well the crazy weekends are not really crazy. Actually, I must be crazy for continuing to play this messed up game...you too probably. And why haven't player numbers dropped yet? Still around 23K to 25K at peak times....there must be a lot of crazy people.
