April, 12 update

When you create a battle, the rank limit is now tied to the creator's rank.

Read restriction intervals have been displayed HERE

Reasons

-Low rank newbies do not suffer from the drugging marshals that steal the battle fund.

-This will reduce the problem of weak players entering the battle just to pick up crystals.

-This will reduce the problem of mult being thrown into the battle.

-This will reduce those cheaters than take the battle fund as most cheaters are low rank.

 

The victory conditions selected when creating a battle have been change and the maximum time is 300 minutes, 100 flags and 999 kills.

- Maximum time - 300 minutes.

- Max number of flags - 100.

- Maximum number of kills was left without any changes - 999.

Reasons

- The battles will be short enough for all of us to play them till the end.

- The more the battles the lower the risk of meeting cheaters.

 

Blocked players can now see the reason why they were blocked, when trying to log into the game.

- This will reduce confusion among players.

- This will reduce the load on the technical support from players writing just to inquire why they can not enter the game. Meaning that support team can answer to real problems on time.

As I said in some other topic, with rank limitation you are neglecting the social component of the game. I agree with the reasons, but the fact remains that I'm effectively cut of and unable to play with some of my friends anymore...

 

If rank limit could be broaden a little bit, to allow playing ordinary battles with ranks from third and second lieutenant onwards, that would suffice, IMHO.

[Imperial_Armour 1]

Well about time... Still I want to see not only the cheaters getting banned but also those who send "them" an invitation for low-class cheaters are just a cover up for those who really owns them.

Clans have ranks ranging from 3rd lieutenant to Marshal. We can't play games like that. Would it be possible to have no rank limitations on private games?

Apart from that, amazing update. The quality of games has increased amazingly. I can finally play without being mad at newbies for not know what they're supposed to do!

The social component is not being neglected but a lot is at stake too. Would enjoy the social compmonet in a game full of mults and cheaters? Its a matter of compromise, lets work together on this one... make new friend in the rank range, rank up to your friends but lets not allow these cheaters to get away with it!

Isn't easier to raise the clan rank requirement to First Lieutenant because cheaters can create private battles too.

HEY PAY ATTENTION ON THIS!

It's really problem for clan wars. And don't rise now rank for playing clan wars! There are many god players (even lower rank as 3rd Lt.) who deserve to play clan wars. Would be better solution to stop offering drug supplies.

[r_Mister-G0 3]

this is very bad update clans wars all of my friends are marshals how would i play with them ?

[r_almighty010 872]

Already answered to that ^^

Then at least let Brigadiers and up create games for their clans. All we're asking for is just two more ranks to be added for Marshals, 3/4 for the rest of the tier.

 

"Problem: I have to choose between Marshals and new players in the clan"

[r_Mister-G0 3]

Already answered to that ^^

so i need to rank like dozens of ranks just to be able to play with my friends ? wow

a 3 liut should be able to play with marshals !! you know how many buyers ho don't like to play with newbies in weak battles i always play with marshals!

if its possible to put 3 lieutenant with marshal it will be great :)

I was never troubled by cheaters... I'm more troubled by not being able to play with my friends, and by the fact that I'm forced to play with bunch of marshals I really don't want to be in a game with.

 

If it's a matter of compromise, please allow us to have a say in this - allow us to select a wider range of ranks in a battle, so we can at least choose with whom we want to play with. Allow all of lieutenants to play with marshals.

I think there isn't a need for this update. Players can automatically create a battle with certain rank requirements. Therefore it's up to the creator on what quality of battle he would like to play. As I said before in another thread, how does this help tanki's franchise?

 

It hurts it, because:

 

1. Referrals. This update means people probably can't play with their real friends whom they've introduced. If you are a newbie to this game, obviously for the first several times you play you'd want to play with your friend right? Now that that isn't a possibility, the attractiveness of tanki to newcomers is decreased.

 

2. Cybersports. How would Mosquito battles go if this update was in place then?

[SakuraVisions 120]

I don't like this. I can't play with my lower ranked friends and it is absolutely absurd to force them to play months to rank up to be able to play games with me.

I also can't play with my nephew and the whole point of him joining was to play with me so I think you just lost another player....

I also don't like that I can't create battles that marshals can play in but marshals can create battles that I can. It discourages lower ranks creating battles, which means less battles. With this new update I can now only play maybe 1/5-1/6 of the battles on server 2 every day.

[r_Mister-G0 3]

just easy guys we solve this problems by discussion not with violent posts !

look so i understand why tanki did this and its a good reason how ever tanki did not think of the clans if they make the 3 lieutenant able to play with marshal it will be great

otherwise this update is awesome! :) no more mults and hackers

Yeah, Bruce... Think about! You can see complaints from people, who are clan leaders and honest players, not cheaters. Cheaters have other possibilities for cheating. Most a flag cheating, teleporting and shooting from building... It's truth, that you will (maybe) prevent mult and sabotage cheating, but for what cost...? Maybe you can do rank belt a little narrower, but not so narrow.

Hi All,

 

Could we dump the Rank restrictions right away?

 

First of all: I loved it as an relative newbee to fight against an Admiral;

Second: As an relative newbee (and now an first leutnant) I would like to make my own choice of which match I want to enter;

Third: the restrictions resolve into an lower "highscore" for the contenders during an entire game. Now its impossible for me to use my freebees to thier limits. Fore instance when I'm battling an Admiral with my M3 viking + M3 thunder, and I use armour and extra penetration I will be able to kill even an Admiral within an few good shots;

Fourth: if an newbee enters an highgrade match the higher ranked contenders normaly leave them alone. Most of thier guns hardly scratsch our paint!!! And sometimes they are lucky and get an high score kill (I loved that when I was an newbee!!).

Fifth: in an normal war all the ranks are on the same battleground, and not seperated by an "ranking fence". Most snipers are korprals or sergants, but they shoot Generals and Admirals ::::)))))

 

So to be short: this restriction takes the fun out of the game.

 

Have fun!

Something else I noticed today and yesterday - there are only couple of battles per server available for higher ranked tanks.

 

 

On top of the other problems, now I don't even have plenty of battles to choose from... ? Five of them, and that's all?

[r_peccinator0 2]

NO! i wanted to do a 999 minutes polygon! .... so i will never do it :( .... in polygon there less hacker... :(

[r_almighty010 872]

As for the clan issue, we will review the range for Marshals to allow all members of the clan to play. Basically the cheaters, spoil every ones' party. Just imagine having home parties all the time until one of you is caught doing drugs and your parents ban the parties. It wouldn't have come to this if things went their way, this is one of the unavoidable necessary security measures that come at a time when they are needed the most. Its a pity some friends and family will be separated during battles but a lot is at stake if we don't take such measures.

Wonderful, I have always been awaiting the day when the newbie is no longer exposed to the horrors of a drugging Marshall!

And it will also give the high ranked players a chance to play a decent game as well, without the excessively slow newbies clogging up their bases.

But as for the cheaters, they can be high ranked, you know.

Well I cannot say I wholly agree with that idea, but I am open to new things like this. :|

Most times it just says "blocked for game rules abuse" which isn't very specific on which rules has been broken; this needs a bit more tweaking my friend.

This should be different per map, for instance - a 100 flag dusseldorf takes a long time but a 100 flag hill or deck-9 will be relatively short.

so maybe different amounts of flags depending on the map?
