Okay, that point makes sense, then I guess the main factor were the past ones to consider about the mode and the freedom, thanks for clearing that point up

Yeah, but those other player from random matches would need to have the same poll as another to end up in the same map, have the same battle mode and both battles would need to end at the exact same time, which lowers the chances, this is what I meant there. Even in the actual meta I wouldnt be able to know the odds, but I dont think they are high currently that several battles ends at the same time (with a 30s range) Would the Post-Match poll have a limited time to vote?

For example a scenario that could be examined: Let’s imagine a battle with 10 players: 6 vote for the next map, while the other 4 decide to leave. Even if the majority stays, the next battle would most likely start as a 3v3. There would also be players coming from other matches that have just ended, but if the poll includes every MM map available for the same mode, that already creates a lot of possible choices. It would be fairly unlikely for players from several different matches to vote for the exact same map, even if they were offered the same selection. On top of that, they would also need to be playing the same mode and finish their matches at roughly the same time. Once all of those conditions are combined, it becomes quite unlikely that the next battle would immediately be full. That's my pleasure! Thank you as well for making those suggestions, that's those kind that helps the game evolve!

This is where I am trying to get, I agree three maps is better than nothing, and I even more agree that bringing all maps will be a total disaster, but the point I am trying to clarify is that only suggesting three maps might not satisfy all players, so even if I agree with the inclusion point, some at the end of the day might just prefer to leave. This can lead to some issues behind such as (rare case, I agree) ties between maps which might create even more complex cases. At the end, to make it short, my point is only three maps on the list doesn't give that much freedom, if one wants something else, he'll leave. Also if we put the map choice on a side for a moment, you also have the mode to take into account. Let's imagine the battle that ended is Rio CTF, what mode will the next map be? I suppose CTF again, but some players might not take part on the vote for that reason too - because they are looking for another mode. Then you also have the case of "This map might be nice, but not with this mode" which complexifies even more. Overall, I have to salute the efforts you've made to the suggestions, the use of the AI to give a visual was a great idea !

The idea is nice, but I doubt this would really work - the more players you get on a battle field, the more "various" decisions, yes three maps will eventually end up with one with the majority of votes, but some could prefer yet another map to play, to a point if you really want to give the freedom to choose the next map, then you'd need to show all the options, thus all the MM maps, otherwise it's not a complete free poll if not all the options are presented. Then you also need to take into account the players leaving and the number of simultaneous players at the same time on the server. That's a lot of factors to consider

Who's gonna stop Hazel

Surely there could be a part 2 to that whole story, reading this again makes me feel that was only a chapter of that book

I'll stay modest, either maf's skills in tanki (jk ily @Maf) or Juggernaut

On behalf of the whole Game Translators team, we wish you a merry christmas and a Happy new Year!

Hey Hazel, by any chance, do we know how often will the wipes happen? Additionally, besides the roadmap, which version from tanki will exactly be recreated? If I'm not wrong, the current system with M3s at such a low rank are from the old balance, however overdrives are a feature that appeared years later, way after the rebalance rework, that's the same with juggernaut, and many other things, so at the end, this looks like a mix of several versions, are you aiming for a specific year?

I wouldn't be able to answer for certain, I just wanted to tell you gg for the battles since I often used to see you in the ones I joined

Oh, it's out of context but I've seen you in several classic battles, ggs for all those battles together

By any chance, is this intentional that sometimes kills doesn't give you XP?

Merry christmas to everyone ! Tanki may be just an online game like another, but it's not the same without you, thanks for being there, for giving good moments and may you get a new year filled with joy and success (except @Maf).
