    Ideas for Game Modes!

    Here's an idea for game mode: GET RID OF MATCHMAKING! It's broken! When you put a 2nd Lt on one side and SIX Generals on the other, matchmaking is BROKEN! A 2Lt is NINE RANKS below a 4-star general! This is Tanki's idea of "balanced"? Matchmaking is a sick joke! This is freaking STUPID!
  2. Yet more MatchMaker insanity! MatchMaker was supposed to remove mults, right? Well, what's the difference between having mults and having people on your team just leave? Of course we had that before because the game rewards for the losing team were so bad that people left as soon as it looked like their team was behind. But now they have NEW reasons to leave - MatchMaker dumps them in the middle of games they don't want to play on maps they didn't choose with huge differentials in player level. Why the MIDDLE of a game? Because people have already left the game (because it was unevern) so new players are just getting dumped into games where they will get slaughtered too - and leave. And it REALLY sucks if you have a mission that's "finish in the top three" because you're already part way through the game instead of starting at the beginning with everyone else. All MatchMaker does is force people to join bad games! I have gotten dumped into a game with TWO Major Generals on the other team. That's EIGHT LEVELS up from 3LT. That's MatchMaker making things more "even"? I've noticed no improvement in game quality. If anything, it has declined. Before, if you got a really GOOD game, people would probably play a rematch. Might even do it 2 or 3 or 4 times, because the games were so close and so much fun. MatchMaker takes that all away. Not only can you not play a rematch, you get dumped into a new map every game. That creates new problems besides the obvious - you get dumped on a "long" map with short range weapons, or vice versa. And there's the waiting time. It used to be to play another game took 10 seconds. TEN! I have never gotten into a MatchMaker-generated game in 10 seconds. Waiting time is almost always 4 to 12 times that long. Nothing says "fun" like WAITING to play a game! In some cases, waiting time has been so long that the game timed out before I even got on the field. "You have been removed for inactivity!" I had it happen FIVE TIMES yesterday alone! In addition, because everyone has to download a NEW MAP every single game, there is always lag at the beginning of a game. You play a few seconds and then Tanki has to download a bit more map and you lag, and then you play a bit and more lag and more lag. That used to happen under the old system too - but ONLY WHEN YOU CHANGED MAPS and only the first time you played a map. If you played multiple games back-to-back on the same map, no lag in the second game and beyond. Uneven battles. No choice of maps. Battles we don't want to play. Delays getting into games. Getting dumped into bad games. No rematches of really good games. Lag. Any one of these reasons is a good enough to get rid of MatchMaker. But taken together, only blind fools would keep it. Get rid of MatchMaker. It is the worst change in the history of Tanki.
  3. So why doesn't the product kit description page say what is actually in each kit? For example, Predator, Matrix, Simoon. You can tell they're all Thunder - but which versions? M1? M2? M3? Why doesn't the description say? And which hulls are they? M1? M2? M3? M9? The dinky little pictures make it hard to see any differences, and the descriptions do not help.
