Only 15k people on ATM, but I have sub-20 second wait time in DM, TDM, and ASL for 6 battles during the past hour and a half, which is nice.

125DA 3500◊ 25,000◊

Whats even mroe hilarious is a fact you overlooked: I hate MMS. However the Tenki Is Dying argument has nothign to with MM; one could easily argue TO is dying because they are 4 years late in introducing a matchmaker.

I am glad I am so powerful and influential among the devs.

another nub trots out the "tenki iss dyink" meme because apparently we all forgot it. Decade old flash games will always lose be dying. Conveniently forgetting how stably TO has been at 25kplayers at peak time for the past several months.

Still suffering from sub 3 minute wait times to get into TDM and CP

Not what i meant. TO is basing their "strong" and "weak" labels based off something other than score. According to them, they could have 25 strong 25 weak and 50 meh Marshals, and create a 8v8 pulling from each group for both sides. I disagree with this system,a nd think that all the weak marshals should be put in separate "weak only" battles, etc etc for strong and meh. However, appearance is everything. We the player cannot quickly tell at a glance the difference between strong and weak. This is why I am an advocate of single rank battles: if the battle is filled only with colonels, then it must be fair, right? Now obviously there will be the buyer colonels wiht m4s and the smart colonels with m3s and some well off colonels with m2.8s and some low skills colonels with m1.9s, but until these differences are identified the battle will seem fair to all involved.

Based off the vlog: It is stupid to put strong and weak in together IMO have all the weak nubs go in together and let the stronk tenks fight it out. weak tanks are nothing but liabilities to us, and they won't have any fun while we destroy them.

lol

"boring and repetitive" That's the definition of grind, which there is a lot to do in a game whos basic premise is scoring 1.7million exp, with an estimated beginner non-buying completion time of: 3 years.

The more I think about drones the more I think they are another stupid mechanic to buffalo us out of hard earned crystals and waste our time.

I've thought about it, but people seem to be really pissed about being thrown into battles that promptly finish on them. There is no way to predict how a battle could turn. I would prefer TO cut the time as close as they could, 60 seconds would probably work to. I hope they do not make a cutoff longer than 3 min, else it will be TX all over again. Tanki had 10 months to figure times like these ^^^ out, yet the spent the time doing what? plezzuring themselves with redacteds?

I am starting to see a trend in the battles I play, for the first battle of each session (every time I start up the client), I will suffer FPS drops for the first 2 or 3 minutes of the very first match, and so do others. For the rest of the battle and any other battles I play, I don't have any extraordinary (I have a potato PC) FPS drops. Current fix list: -more conservative displayed avg wait time -allow us to do other things while waiting -suspend Finish Top 3 mission for the time being -make it so players will not be thrown into battles in last 2 minutes or --DM if any player has 90 kills or more --TDM any side is above 90 kills --CTF if any side has 6 flags --CP is any side is at 40 or more points -ASL is any side s at 85 points or more --RGB same as CTF This will put an end to the time-wasting of putting players into matches that are about to end. TX has this mechanic, except it is botched because it won't send in new players if the battle if there are less than 5 minutes on the clock, basically damning any team that happens to suffer from desertion. jjg, you are beyond reason. I'll ignore the failure to decide between sarcasm and genuine speech, but your take on containers is just pure bull-poo. the numbers speak otherwise.

Please don't provoke Hazel into shortening pause times again. 2 minutes is way too short to get up and grab a drink or attend to a pot. % minutes, I can agree thats a bit long, but I think 2.30 or 3 would be a better compromise.

Biggest screw ups of TO: -limiting battle creation to pro pass -limiting missions to regular non pro battle -introducing magnum and striker -shortening GB drop times -limiting friend lists to whatever the number is. 300 or something -introducing containers in missions, allowing poorer tankers to get more goodies and crystals -removing "get 10 flags" missions -shortening battle times from 15 long boring minutes to a quick 10 Hit to readers: half of the above is sarcasm

I can get in on the obnoxious meme game too.

Yeah, that si what happens when clowns join using the group system. But there are other issues, WO5s shouldn't be any matchmaking with Major Generals, under the old system 2nd Lt was the lowest you could fight 2 stars.

Stop blaming magnumz Aw, sad to see you go, you were an awesome player. Wargaming is pissing off WOT PC players currently, and War Thunder is introducing sub warfare, and in Warships the American tech tree just got new top tier cruisers.

I nearly missed this.

Ooh hoo, just learned than Wargaming is messing with their "preferential matchmaking" for premium tier 8s. Evidently May is Global Game Solidarity Over MMS Month. Lord preserve us.

You are so right, I miss being able to hang on and beat my way to the top. It so hilarious when after having lost two rounds, you finally win, and the enemy leader comes on to complain about magnums and drugs and their poor teammates. The feeling is so good, esp when you have had a skilled team, but were unable o gain the advantage. Stooge: a person who serves merely to support or assist others, particularly in doing unpleasant work. By calling me a stooge I felt you were implying I had an ulterior motive for posting my experiences (reward from the administration) or that by posting I was trying to serve the administration and subverting my own beliefs for their agenda. I am not.

Stooge? As in mindless idi0t under the control of the administration? my dear sir/maam you are very much mistaken. I love to give a kick to the administration as much as the next fellow, I've done it many a time before. And if you are calling me a liar, here are some screenshots of those 3 battles where I suffered no issues. https://plus.google.com/108932368324287874846/posts/cCjDCmUXGEw https://plus.google.com/108932368324287874846/posts/c9bL8MZiEKu https://plus.google.com/108932368324287874846/posts/A9Lv2zbWGJN Now call me a liar again. I'm perfectly willing to accept and admit that other people's experiences aren't mine. But I do suspect that more of the people with issues are here complaining than those without, and thus we can't get a good idea of how bad the issue is. Adjust opinions? Damn straight I am. Just like with the containers/mission update a month ago, where people who couldn't do basic maths showed up en masse to protest the change. And don't' forget to lump me in with Generallissima, Little Willie, and all the other stooges who are being reasonable hicks about the update. Oh wait, that makes 3 of us by name.

I just don't understand why other people are having so many technical issues. I did 3 battles on this account, had sub 2 min waiting time, and had decent matchmaking (i.e. not out of bounds with prior brackets), and to me the teams seemed to be of equal strength. Won one, lost one, and barely won another. Horrendous lag in the first battle for at least 5 people, smoothed out for the others. Gold rate was ok

Shafts have tunnel vision, flanking and spanking them is so fun.

What a lovely sticking point. I love joining battles titled "Flag farm - no matar" and "yor mathers b.um"
