Matchmaking still blows. Hate it hate it. Play much less because of it. But I'm glad they did it before I put too much money into the game. I won't put another dime in for a game that I have to wait 2-3 minutes to play 7.

Matchmaking still sucks monkey balls and is the worst thing Tanki has ever done. Well, none of this is true. AT ALL. Wait times have become so insane, they have driven me over to the forums to complain about matchmaking. I can rarely get into a game, solo, in under two minutes, and half the time it puts me in a game that is over. Matchmaking sucked at the start, improved to less bad for a while, and is back to SUKKING big time.

LAST CHANCE TO SAVE TANKI -- PLAN OUTLINE Ok here's what you need to do -- 1) RESTORE the battle list. Keep matchmaking if you really must (someone there seems to really want it bad), but make it OPTIONAL. 2) RESTORE the many maps that are no longer available in regular battles. More options, more maps, more choices are ALWAYS better, removing variety, maps, options always makes the game less varied and more boring. 3) RESTORE regular users' ability to create some battles, even without all the pro options. ADDING more -- turrets, hulls, paints, maps choices --- ALWAYS BETTER. REMOVING all or any of the above = ALWAYS WORSE.

I don't want to be sent to a battle. I don't want waits to get into a battle. I don't want to have no ability to choose what map I play on, how many players are in the battle, what their ranks are. You have blundered. You have taken away OUR choices and substituted your own ideas of what is best with some automated algorithm. I don't like this update, for the same reasons I didn't during the testing, for the same reasons so many others have articulated here. No good no fun -- NO vote. By all means keep it as an option for those who want it. But don't remove our ability to choose along with it.

HATE this. Why are you constantly revamping parameters after the fact. I buy weapons because of their firepower etc... only to have it taken away. You all need to STOP it. STOP IT.
