I think Cedric was relaying good feedback from us, I think he even checked my Random Battles / Matchmaking topic, because in a Livestream he asked Hazel about a Titan/Isida being sent randomly to Lost Temple CP, and that's exactly a question I have in the first posts of my topic. At that time Matchmaking was planned to work based on our equipment and our effectiveness rating.

3rd feedback and some thoughts: - With a second higher account, I fought in Barda CP, pretty balanced at the beginning, even thought the other team was of the same rank and my team the same except for me 2 ranks higher and another 4 ranks higher than the rest, WO ranks, I was afraid we're gonna lose, but later we dominated, did some spawn killing, we won, I finished first, completed a Finish 1st mission, but I needed to capture 2 more Points to complete another. Second battle was Silence CP, I was in the red team with ranges from WO2 to WO5, the other team were all WO2, fight was even at the beginning but soon we started dominating, then the spawn kills, it ended 90 to 10 in our favor. - I complete 2 mission in 2 battles. - Overdrive not good for battle balance. I know there are a lot to work to better the Matchmaking, but seems like things are in the right track.. Not bad overall, i did good today, but somehow I am afraid of entering the next random battle.

About the contest: I don't think the 'most liked posts for better rewards' is a good idea, because then people can like with their other accounts, and tell friends to like their entries, and so on. Also, first entries have better chances that those in the middle or last. And one question, is it okay to post more than 1 entry per account? Thanks.

2nd feedback and ideas for other players: - Overall it was an interesting experience for me, probably because I ended up in good teams and got out of some in time. I first played with a practice account and did well too. - With my practice account I was sent to 2042 CTF, my team ranged from First Sergeant to WO4, the other team was all WO1s except 1, which I think was lower. Don't know why is that, but doesn't look good, my team won. The second battle was Polygone DM, longer wait time, ranges from First Sergeant (Me) to WO4, drugging M1s, and me with my M0s in that stuffy map, ended last. Then I played Massacre CTF, didn't like the new map, bad team, we lost. I also played in Iran, don't even remember how it went there. - Then playing with my highest account I was sent to Red Alert CTF, mixed range teams but at the end the other team was full of Second Lieutenants except 2, and my team was still mixed from Lieutenant Colonel and way down. We won. Second battle I was sent to Alexandrovsk CP, checked the table score and saw one Commander and 1 Fieldmarshal in my team and I'm like 10 ranks below, I got out just in time before getting killed. Third battle was a nice surprise, Yorkshire CP, only 3 ranks below the highest rank, mixed ranks, good team, we won and I completed my 7 Point mission and Repair Kits, that I didn't even pick it up 1 in Red Alert. - Still long wait times. - 3 errors in about one hour of play time, luckily I was sent back to the same battle after reboot. - I don't like that after you die you have a very small time to go to the garage with out respawning first. - I don't like that you can't check your missions after you have joined a battle, if that is to prevent people from completing missions and abandoning battles, then it is not a good option, maybe a better solution could be for missions to count when completing battle, big maybe. Recommendation to other players: - Waiting times for TDM and CP look longer, probably because many prefer CTF. You may switch your missions to CTF if you don't want to wait too much. - Always check the score table to see the ranks of other players, the higher the rank you are the better for you.

!st feedback: - I'm seeing longer and longer waiting times, and this is not good for the test and the goal of the system if implemented. The problem could be the free option to create battles, because many are playing Custom Battles and not using the Matchmaking. Custom battles should cost crystals, like I said before, about 100 for Recruits and 1000 for Legends for 100 hours of play time. - Because of the few players in the queue I'm seeing Recruits fighting WO2s. Not good. - Of course, all these could be different when there are more players in the game later on. Right now there is about 12 200.

Let people leave their feedback, this is very important. You mods, you are not developers, please stop replying to people just for replying.

We need a dislike button ASAP!

I think the US servers are those that Brazilians and other Latin Americans use, because the client file for that is named something like 'tankionline_us.exe'.

Added. Thanks for your help.

That's my concern too, but some say that groups of friends will only play against groups of friends, I hope that's the case and the same for Clans. All people form the same friend lists shouldn't be put together, nor in opposing teams, but in different battles or unrelated groups vs unrelated groups. We'll see what happens with all the pro missioners, will they just focus on mission and then leave, thus crating unbalanced battles, or will the participate and help? Devs need to remove Crystal missions, Finish 1st missions and maybe supply missions as well.

Not a good idea. There could come a moment where many will want to block certain equipments for whatever reasons, and owners of those equipments will find few battles to play. But this could be an option for Clan Battles.

Maybe a mod should close this and open a similar topic so they can maintain it updated. Some of your list are still around :p

Matchmaking is designed to attract casual players, your idea is for professionals. If they add this to Matchmaking only the professionals will win because the casuals, who don't know what they are playing, will leave after 1 or 2 battles, and that will create a huge imbalance between casuals and professionals. Likewise, clans, friends, and buyers, will dominate those type of battles. Again this is like the 999 battles that some people create with weird settings to trap noobs and casuals for their own gain.

We don't know how much people mean to us until they leave us. Take care of your loved ones. And thanks. PS: Don't worry about adding Premium to this account...

Good luck Cedric, in whatever you do with your life. :) And sorry for all the headaches. :(

This already exists in Tanki: 999 + mults + friends + junk food + drugs = big rewards.

Drive and Heal Responsibly Ads on Billboards Inspiration: Message: - "Do not hide and heal" Goal of the ad: - To educate Isidas to not hide behind other tanks and heal... it is not cool.

Many issues...

We'll miss you Cedric, you were a good Community Manager, you tried your best. It will be a big loss for Tanki. But if you are not leaving, please leave, because the 'Tomorrow in the Vlog' video already said you were leaving. Whatever you do, please stay here with us until the end.

I guess players are getting old faster these days, there could also be mass marriages going on, and you don't know it, lot of babies because those mass marriages, and lot of diapers to change, that is why right now there are only 4601 players online.

This idea should be implemented as a Holiday Paint with a new Tanki celebration for Souls-Day / Saints-Day / Day-of-the-Dead.

This topic is for players to talk about upsetting issues in the game or the forum. You can share your feelings about issues or help others in dealing with those issues. Rants are welcomed, but crybaby pics not so much.

This type of contest is a bad idea. So much time and effort put by many people and only few will get rewarded. Yes, you can point at the rules, then the ToC and whatever but still doesn't feel right.

Yes. But ideas that will never have a chance of implementation, and if posted elsewhere will only take mods time, be declined or invalidated, because these ideas are the goodests. ;) Feel free to post yours. :)
