Hey TESL4 have you NOT learned yet that setting your money on fire are better use for it than giving it to Tanki? At least when you burn them you generate some heat to keep you warm!

This version of MM was doomed before it was even implemented. First it was shoved down our throats without any input from the players 2. it was not tested at all 3. It cannot possible be called MatchMaking because from day 1 it was a mismatch of ranks and weapons. 4. no improvements have been made to the game other than cosmetic without any substance. 5. Feedback is systematically ignored. 6. Moderators are censors and not moderators. Any business that goes from 60,000 concurrent users to down a handful that they are having trouble creating balanced battles, eventually will wither and die or at best will just get by from revenue received by new players who do not realize that they are wasting money. well, do not expect much because they have proven many times over how incompetent they are!

Seriously? what 10K players? according to stats in gaming sites that monitor various games Tanki has an average of only 80 concurrent players! Why do you think we are getting dumped in unbalanced battles with such a wide range of ranks?

As a compensation I want them to remove the weekly "get top3 in a winning battle" or "get 7 winning battles" It is virtually impossible to complete such missions when we are dumped in a losing battle that ends within mere second of entering the game! at least give us the option to change the weekly missions like we can the daily. Sorry to say but there is no other word to use to describe the who came up with these missions. Yes, you can ban me because you do not like how I describe you, but it will not negate the fact that my statements are true and shared by the majority of the players. The lag is also making matters worse because we cannot finish the majority of the battles when we get a ping of 6000! Get real Tanki. After all these years and you still have not been able to improve the game and you just made it worse.

Yeah you have the same chance of getting 100k as a snowball has a chance of surving hell for more than a nanosecond! Tanki is a fraud no matter how they spin it! Just like the "get 10 top3 places in a winning team" weekly mission while you are dumped with GS 9999 and you are at 6000! In another account, I have 2 of those weekly missions and it is over 2 months and I have not been able to even get more than one. Add that to the fact that 99% of the time I am getting dumped in to losing battles where they end within a few seconds of entering and good luck. Then you call Tanki developers dishonest and you get banned from a freeloading mod who are good for nothing! An then you have a develope (OPEX-RAH) playing a CTF battle with a tricked out JUG bringing all the flags by himself! Yeah, good luck completing these missions. I just gave up and I paly 1-2 games and get [edited] out of this joke of a game.

We can complain as much as we want. The fact is that Tanki is a dishonest organization that they prey on ignorant kids. It is dumb to have so long cool donws on anything. I had the situation where I wento to change the turret and i clicked by mistake on the wrong one and it was an MK1! Oh well my tough luck, I wasn't going to be getting killed for 4 min until I was able to change again so I exited the battle. I also exit every battle that I am dumped with a few minutes left or when the score is heavily lopsided. No point of wasting my time.

ahhh the good old days! back in the day, the loading bar was an animation of bullets loading until they changed it to a plain loading bar. I think some parents complained that it promoted violence! (hello!!!! it is a shooting game where you destory things!) Yeah, and they banned me for it!. I guess it hit a nerve and the head honco gave an order to the mindless minions, that pretend to be helpers, to ban me. But who really cares? People are learning that Tanki are dishonest and they are refusing to discuss it in good faith! It is their way or the highway. Now if I really cared, the ban would have meant something, but I do not! I know eventually they will try to silence me and those who point out their shortcomings.

That is understandable, but what is the purpose of testing in a CTF with a Jug without any opposing Jug? We know there is no competition in this scenario. But then again this guy has an ego bigger than his empty head!

This is another example of Tanki not thinking the changes thoroughly and impementing them across the board! There were plenty of times in TDM where someone spwaned next to me and killed me in an instant especially with the drone that turns on their supplies upon spawn. This is why I am saying the head game designer has an IQ of the outdoor temperatur in the Red Square outside the Kremlin during the winter! Not only because they made the inital mistake, but also for not fixig it. But then again when has Tanki fixed any mistakes tha we point out? It seems that it hurts someone's ego to be proven repeatedly wrong! Yet here he is messing up the game and upseting the stupid buyers! (never mind the rest of us non-buyers!)

I thought so. Tanki is a dishonest organization and he is leading the way! There is no need to play with the rest of us mere mortals, who barely have mk7s, with a jug in a CTF!The other team had nothing to counter so it was not balanced. But then again, balanced is not a word that Tanki knows its meaning! It is not bad enough that we lower ranks go up against legends trying to complete our missions, we have to content with things like that.

Hey Moisthero, I was in that battle. see my previous comment. He was on my team and I got his name. (OPEX-RAH)

I was playing in the same battle with Moisthero using one of my accounts and I was surprised to see that player using a Jug in my team and he was bringing the flag in record time! His name was OPEX-RAH and if I am not mistaken he maybe a Tanki developer. Could he be that guy that used to be HAZEL-RAH? I remember him 2 years ago he was the head game designer for Tanki with the IQ of the winter outdoor temperature in the Red Square in Moscow!

I am sorry but spending money on Tanki is a total waste! You are better off burning that money. at least you will have some heat to warm up during the cold days!

As long as there are fools that are willing to part with their money, Tanki will continue taking them giving them nothing in return! The sad thing is that the so called "helpers" here are trying to tell us that it isn't so and that the sun sets from the east and rises from the west. I am sorry but the facts point that anyone involved in an official capacity with Tanki has a seriou lack of ethics and integrity. The say they became helpers to "help" people but so far all they do is to serve as apologists for a borderline unethical organization. MM has never worked and will never work under the current format. It has some serious logic flaws coupled with the fact that they do not have enough players at various ranks to make it a true MM where a Marshal will never have to go up a Legend. Most of the battles that I get dumped into are like the one you describe where it is either ending within seconds of entering or forcing you to leave because it is pointless to stay and getting killed at spawn. But hey the "helpers" think it is a great game and Tanki is doing a great job! (as long as they compensate them with stuff)

The sad thing is the majority of the players who bother to post here have my perspective and not yours. In all good faith, there is no way your perspective reflects the majority of the players that have left the game because they share my opinion about the game. You can choose to terminate the discussion but keep in mind that I played this game when there were 60,000 concurrent players at one time and over 80,000 during holidays. Now if Tanki gets 20,000 on a good day during sales and holidays it would be a stretch. That fact alone should make you, if not change your thinking, at least question your position. Oh, by the way those "thousand of crystals" you mentioned is a pipe dream, unless of course you mean the 300 of mines that I got today from 3 ultra containers that I got in my other account. Good thing I got those conatiners from missions and not by paying money or else I would really be pissed off. And you cannot deny tha fact that 99.9% of all containers are either mines or speed boost with the other 0.1% the occational 1,00 crystals! But do not take it from me, take it from the rest of the players that comment here. There is no "defeat in an ongoing discussion. Just exchange of ideas with the supporting facts. The problem is that we see this from the perspective of a customer and you do not.

First of all I think you missed the points of my complaint: 1. 2 days ago I received an MK1 Rico while I already had an MK7 Rico that it was in the process of being upgraded even more! 2. I do not want in my garage MK1s that I have no intention of using or augments for items that I do not even have nor I have any intention of having. Yes, I could fake a profile, but why would I take time from my life to do so? I am an old timer at Tanki from the days long ago before what you call "Matchmaking" The days where we could invite our friends to battle so they can help us complete the missions, the days where you did not need ad many "supplies" to play a decent game, the days where I knew coming in what turrets I was facing and what protections to have before I entered a battle., the days where I could create a map and choose where to complete my missions. I have been providing for a long time feedback trying to explain what Tanki has done was to drive away many great old players that were making the game fun. This "matchmaking" system has serious flaws not only in software bugs but as a concept in general. They tried to create a more ballanced game and they messed up seriously. It is unacceptable and not in good spirit to have recreational players who do not rank up as fast because they do not buy as many stuff play against players 3 and 4 rank levels above them while having to complete a insane weekly mission of capturing 10 or 15 times a top 3 position in a WINNING team. I have such weekly missions that probably will never complete or it will take a long time to complete because it is highly unlikely for a non-buyer to compete at a high level. Yet, Tanki has ingnored the pleas of many players to eliminate such missions or at least let us change the WEEKLY missions like we do the daily even if we have to pay a price for it. Likewise Tanki has ignored the fact that we are dumped in to battles that eihter end within a few seconds after entering or they are so unbalanced that you have tanks sitting at spawn point waiting to kill you. Even with the delay of vulnerability at spawn you have the new Paladin hulls with the insane OD that makes them indestructible and with fully uprgaded Tesla kill us in a matter of seconds before we have a chance to turn on any protection! Personally, I do not care since I play just recreationally and to keep up with the industry just as I play some other games. I do not hunt for Gold nor I chase flags, etc. I just try to support those who do and have fun in the process. Finally, frankly I do not believe that anyone at Tanki, and that included moderators and volunteers who keep volunteering despite knowing that concerne will never be addressed, are loiiking out for the player community. And I offer you as proof the fact that any decent Moderator and Community Managers that were publicly supporting the players, are not longer there. It is either they gave up and did the right thing or Tanki no longer wanted them. Frankly, that Rah developer you mentioned (If he is the same as Hazel Rah), I know him to be condensending, arrogant and from how bad this game has become, very incompetent developer. Thanks for your time, but I know nothing will come out of this as there are 79 pages of discussion in Complaints and they all revolve around the same issues that have not been addressed for a long time.

The problem is that I claimed ALL 23 containers on ALL of my account and I did not get ALL the MK1s then because I can see that in some accounts I still have MK1's that are not purchased. (by the way, to get around this problem, I am forced to purchase ALL MK1 because I do not want to do the missions only to get a 750 worth of crystals MK1 item that I have no itention of using). Therefore, the issue is not fixed because when I made the post the other day, I got a Rico that I already had upgraded to MK7 and it was in the process of being micro-upgraded again. It is very disheartening to complete a mission and get a totaly worthles container). As far as "adding Mk1s to containers was intenional" I undertsand but in trying to fix one problem they created a bigger one as it is the norm with Tanki developers. That is one my major complaints because as long as I have been playing the game, which is longer than I can remember, the changes are not tested thoroughly, at least to catch the major bugs. Then they try to fix it and they make the situation worse because something else breaks. I had made a suggestion in the long past that BEFORE they implement major changes they should open up a testing period to the players so they can weed the bugs out. I understand that Tanki may not have the resources in personell to thoroughly test, but I'd bet good money the palyer community will be more than happy in exchange for a few crystal or whatever to help with the testing. As I mentioned before, I am an IT professional for over 35 years and I know how development works. To give you an example, World of Warrships wanted to implement Submarines in the live servers. They opened up the testing, got the feedback, fixed the majority of the issues, tested it again and despite the players' negative feedback they implemented in the live servers only to get a serious backlash from the player community, even to the point where some volunteer Community Managers quit the game (yes, they had the integrity to stand up for the players). So, World of Warships removed the Submarines from live battles and they are going back to the drawing board. Now my friend that is "listening to your customers" which is exactly the opposite of what Tanki is doing! I apperciate the offer to communicate through PM, but I prefer all communication to be in the open so other players can chime in and provide their feedback. If you want you can move the discussion to the appropriate Forum.

They do not even bother to read the comments! When you look at the fact that there are 79 pages of complaints and most of them are about the same problems, you know that they are not paying attention. But hey they have 9 pages of compliments (alhtough I thing these players must be getting compensated to write positive comments)!

Yeah and the moderators have the audacity to tell us that we are wrong and this should not happening, etc! I one of my other accounts. I just finishe a daily mission, got a container, opened and I got the "rare" price of am MK1 Rico. The problem, though, is that I already have an MK7-9 Rico that is 19hrs from upgrading to 7-10! Nice job Tanki! Hey Mods, do you want to tell us how this "should nto be happennig" and other malarkie? You have lost every ounce of integrity that you had because you sold out the community for a few free stuff. Any Mod cares to debate- other than editing my posts?

Says my 35 year experience as a Director of Development for a few Fortune 500 companies including a few years in a gaming company. I am 65 years old and I have been managing developers for as far as I can remember. I have fired and disciplined much more competent programmers that those at Tanki! If we ever turn out a product, that our customers pay good money, as buggy as Tanki, we would have not lasted in the development business. I like gaming and I always have played recreationally various games and I am here to tell you that Tanki is the worst of all when it comes to bugs and even worst in the "bait and switch" tactics for creating something with powerful features only to take them away and then force you to purchase it! For example, Twins in the distant past did not cause self damage until one day it did and you had to buy an "augment" at an insane price! As far as your question "But isn't it in the interest of the developers to fix this? So that players continue to play this game?" It is apparent that it is NOT in the interest because I am here to tell you that the same bugs have been lingering for so long. For example: if you have a shaft in sniper mode and you do not move it kicks you out for "inactivity"! Well if you are a sniper and you have to move, you lose your stealth. How about when you enter a game and it takes so long that you get kicked out for "inactivity"! That bug has been there even in the days of Flash and still they have not fixed it. Instead they concetrate in other thigns that will draw new players that have no clue because they do not read the comments before they purchase stuff that become worthless. I remember the days where there were 60,000 conqurent players! and at holidays the numbers whent as high as 80,000! Look at it now. they barely break 15,000 and they do not have enough players to make the Matchmaking game what makes it matchmaking: having players of similar rank and not having Generals going up against Legends. Good luck completing the insane get 15 or 10 one of the 3 first places in a winning team!

I know that you cannot call it for what it is because you will lose your free stuff you get from Tanki for being their apologistic mouthpiece, as when I ranked up and got a container, I received this "rare" freeze MK1 turret that costs 750 crystals and I had no intention of getting! Oh yeah as far as the "exclusive augments" I am sure many players love getting augments for MK1 turrets or hulls that they have no intention of using ever! So please, do not try to justify this dishonest way of diluting the awards and not giving us something of value! That along with the fact that 99.9% of the containers are either Speed boost or mines to go along with the other 50,000 we have will last us a lifetime! you are just as dishonest as the Tanki "developers" who even cut the daily awards from 3 to 2! and only starts and 1 container (spped boost kand mines). Prove me wrong. I have played Tanki before the days of the attrocious Matchmaking system and I can tell you that 99% of the bugs do not get fixed or if they are fixed, something else breaks! I truly bieleve that the so called 'developers" are high school kids who read a book on HTML 5 and they think they can program. I am with you, that's why I came back after 2 years absence. I play a game of 2 so I can get familiar again and point out their many major flaws and call out they underhanded dishonesty. Actually it will be better if instead of the picture you can put the word "CRAP" (to put it mildly so the apologists moderators will not get offended for using "innaprporiate language")

I posted the same observation yesterday. You will get no reply and no explanation. I have played this game for a few years before they went ot this dumb MatchMaking atrocity and I felt for 2 years shortly after that. I came back only to see that this game is even worse than before, yet we still get no explanations, no replies to our questions. Tanki used to do a lot of underhanded things that are bordeline robberies but now they have gotten worse because they are desparet for money. As long as that are fools willing to give them money, they will keep doing it. This is not the only change they have made that reduced the awards. Read my previous post above and you will see the pattern. Do not expect any help or sympathy from the moderators because they are just a mouthpiece for Tanki in exchange for some gifts. They are just as dishonest as anyone who is asociated with the Tanki organization.

It is not difficult if you are a competent programmer! Do you think Tanki programmers are competent? (Hint: have you ever seen a change (update, upgrade, etc) go smoothly?)

"this area of the forum is poorly looked into" not entirely correct! It is flat out ignored! Only some poor misguided souls named Moderators who serve as apologists for the incompetent decision makers at Tanki and even more incompetent "developers and game designers" in exchange for a few priveledges. These are all people without any integrity looking out for themselves and not the game community. They go as far to edit people's posts just because they think words that truly describe the aforementioned people such as "" are offensive!

I have another theory: Over the years Tanki developers and game designers have proven to be totaly incapable of producing a game that is at the least without major flaws and when the flaws are discovered, they are not fixed for the most part. Either because they are not willing or just because they are just plain incompentent. Take your pick. Instead of making the game better by listening to the customers, they antagonize us though Forum Moderators that serve as apologists for bordline dishonest people. If anyone at Tanki had any integrity, they would not be working there. Perhaps someone could explain the ALL the changes before they happen. Changes like REDUCING the DAILY MISSION AWARDS from 3 to 2, changes like giving 1 container for RANKING UP or 1 container for the daily reward for PREMIUM ACCOUNT. SO, for ranking up now you rewrad me with an MK1 item or 100 mines and Speedboost. Because when opening containers 99.9% of the time, this is what I get! Sure on a rare occasion I may get 1,000 crystals, but come on! I guess some people are too dense to understand that forcing the customer to buy when they are content just to play the game for fun for a few hours a day or a week is not going to bring more revenue but only complaints and discontent.
