Except that unbalanced matchmaking system undermines the entire process when a new player gets continually one-shotted from the other side of the arena by someone with a gear score 6k higher than them (and who already has that unavailable new equipment). New players obviously lose interest fast. As evidenced by the number of players tanki has lost.

Are you ever going to fix the matchmaking system to even make it a little bit fair?

However much money they can make from anything is how they determine the choices they make here.

Matchmaking is broken. Just add this point to the list of broken things on tanki.

This isn't even the 300th time they've done this.

You knew that was going to happen, though. Right?

No. Not where people pay money. It should be tested and released when it's ready after a beta testing phase. Not tested on the public. Imagine if pharmaceutical companies tested their drugs randomly at pharmacies without the public knowing? (Oops! Sorry. Didn't know that formula was poisonous. But I guess it doesn't matter because I develop drugs and I can do what I want...) What if automobile companies did that? (Oops, sorry those brakes didn't work and people died. But we needed to test it on real roads before we released it...)

They are so clueless that I'm even being called an alternate account of yours... eye-roll. Literally nothing better to do with their time.

"even I have no idea if it's fair or not" Then why not test it somewhere else and not where people have spent money to play...? Make your own arena, invite players who want to test it. Play. Find out if it's fair or not. My godd, why is not being terrible people so difficult for you?

On. You.

1. Stephen Hawking would hack. Not being able to do something well is one of the reasons why players hack in the first place. Yeah, you're right. Hackers only hack in parkour. They never go to any other area of tanki...

Here, also, is a picture version to help understand both 'rigged' and 'scam'. You seem to have issues noticing these kinds of things, so hopefully, this helps. See "rigged" is when the other team has a total gear score of almost 12000 higher than your team, including 4 of the top 5 highest gear scores. Also note this is "rigged" because there is one tanker with a gear score of 9k--which is obviously unbalanced in the game as well. And "scam" is when someone (in this case, tanki) is dishonest about their 'fair' matchmaking games, If anyone on this list paid money to play, they would be 'scammed'. I hope this helps you understand what Brandorrr was talking about.

agreed.

1. Seeing as how they used to have a dedicated thread here for how many hackers they banned on a monthly basis, maybe you just aren't that good at recognizing hackers? 2. 'Unbalanced' matchmaking is completely rigged. You can tell by the name used to describe it: 'unbalanced'. 3. The scam is when you buy a turret with certain abilities and traits and then they nerf that turret three weeks later in the next update. The turret bought is not what you bought anymore. For some reason, you don't identify this as a scam. Let me put it another way. Let's say you bought a bmw. Then 3 weeks later, it turned into a lada. Sounds to me like a 'dishonest plan for making money' because now you have to buy another turret. 11. I experience lag all the time. Again, not sure why you don't. Maybe you live next door to tanki headquarters or maybe you just aren't the good at recognizing lag either. 15. This occurring is already common knowledge. Again. Calling something ultra, doesn't make it ultra. Personally, I call it the 'slightly less lame' container. Ultra: 'Going beyond what is usual or ordinary'. A 1% increase chance of a legendary or exotic isn't going beyond what is ordinary. It's still ordinary.

They don't care. Look at the regular matchmaking games.

Of course they disagree. But... 1) they are providing a product and should ensure the product works. and 2) they've been using this excuse since 2013 (or my personal favorite 'clear your browser cache')

You can buy 30 speed boosts in the shop for 75 crystals. Diluting the 'rare' with something completely common doesn't make it ultra either...

If you are ever in doubt, just remember. It's always tanki's fault.

they aren't 'ultra', though.

Does anyone else look at the paint they got in a container and go 'wow... if only that were something I actually wanted...'?

Guess that makes me an OG...

They aren't going to tell us when they add bots. They will do it and tell us after the fact. So, I feel--based on game play I have experienced here--they have already added them. Even if they haven't officially told anyone. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission...

What this wiki doesn't address are the bots that are added to the game--which they have already admitted they do. Until they update the wiki, this link should be considered broken.

They were in the process of switching to a keyword-based chat monitoring system. What are the keywords that trigger a ban? Who knows? For some magical reason, they can't seem to figure out that if they publish a list of the words people will try not using them. But that's tanki for you. 1d__cy at its finest and keep everything a secret...

In Russia, the game doesn't get fixed. the 'fix' is the game...
