The Updated Battle List is live!

[semyonkirov 29,038]

 

Hello tankers!

 

The updated and improved battle list is already in the game. The changes made are largely based on your feedback. Battles are now sorted in a more logical way, while important info on each battle is readily available without any extra clicks.

 

We have also decreased the range of ranks for low and middle rank battles and made several changes to the way PRO battle pass works.

 

You can find more info on the update below.

• Battle info will now include battle mode, map name, battle duration, and time left till the end of the round. All the info is now in the same place.
• Battles are now grouped by battle mode, then sorted by duration. You will only see battles available at your rank. Those with open spots will be highlighted. If you have a PRO battle pass, PRO battles will be at the very top of your list.
• Private battle creation, and PRO-battles access, are now exclusively PRO battle pass features. This solution keeps the customizability for hardcore tankers, while keeping the accessible, arcade feel for gamers who only want to play for fun.
• We have removed custom battle names as these were often distracting and misleading, and sometimes even contained inappropriate language.
• We have narrowed the rank limits in battles for tankers of lower and middle ranks. Now they will face opponents of their same weight category more often.

Now, it's time to jump right into the game and check out the new features for yourselves. Make sure you come back to share your feedback with us in this topic and via the poll. Have fun Tankers!

 

What happens to format battles now?

We understand that some tankers prefer to play battles where players are expected to use specific hull and turret combos. Unfortunately, custom battles names weren't a guarantee that the desired formats would be followed. For the time being, we advise tankers to play such battles with friends in private. The decision to add support for formats in PRO battles has been made. Soon, you will be able to determine which hulls, turrets and paints can be used in the specific battle. We'll keep you updated.

No. Just no.

• This info was already able to view if you wanted to.
• Actually good.
• NO. What is wrong with you?! "The changes made are largely based on your feedback." <-- That is a lie then! We were ALL against this, yes you still implemented it?! What about rank up parties, parkour, and maybe you just want to join one PRO battle with your friend? BAD IDEA, why did you not listen to us?
• Again, NO. You just ruined the XP/BP Community, you do realize this? Also, who cares about "distracting and misleading" battle names? Those added some fun to the game.
• There was already an option available for this!! Again, killing XP/BP and private battles, parkour, rank up parties.

You claim to listen to your players. Well, today, you have completely disregarded our feedback.

 

 

Private battles were honestly all that was keeping me in this game for the past month or so... well that's gone now! Even tho I have a PRO pass, my parkour team and my friends DON'T. So making one is useless. Guess I'll just XP until Christmas for M2 Wasp... Oh wait! I can't do that either!

 

Note: YES, I was once a potential buyer. Not anymore.

Second, if you read the main topic thoroughly again, you can see that we are already working on adding full-scale support of format battles in PRO. All other bits of the update will stay.

This is outrageous.

I give up.

All my hope is gone.

Final straw.

You just killed parkour, rank ups, mine hunts, and other fun things that were keeping me in this game.

I literally have no more motivation to play... I wanted M2 Wasp but my parkour team that i have worked so hard on will not be able to meet due to this utterly stupid decision to limit private battles. If I can't use my M2 Wasp to parkour, it's not worth it to rank by Christmas. If it's not worth it to rank by Christmas, I might as well leave now!

 

I can't believe this, but this might just be farewell. Tanki is becoming a last resort in times of insane boredom...

I like the old one better this one is just all there..

 

The button worked much better

 

 

1 You removed the names (Bad just bad)

 

2 You made players not able to fifth with there friends, by changing rank limit

 

 

Why tanki,  when I saw this on test, I said to my self, dammit tanki ruins the game further, that we once loved

 

Why call this improving, when your making it worse 

 

That's  what tanki want's, for you to buy a pro pass...

 

 

AND PUT A MOON OR A SUN OVER THE BATTLE LIST

 

That's improving

Custom names were fun because you could always find certain groups of players that way.

[canadarules 1,938]

[creeperskelly 1,281]

I guess this time they really did Kill Kenny :(

[canadarules 1,938]

oh so your agreeing with me that we will have a more peaceful environment without so many whiners who can't play with normal equipment

[GWLGUPTA 511]

This update is totally useless! Now we can't name battles and noob ruiners will get an excuse to ruin more xp battles!!

[ThouShallNot 963]

Umm this was kind of unecessary, btw please bring cry boxes back to DM and DM only, cry grabbers and normal players will be happy.

This is messed up. How can I have my clan trainings and practices now? Not everyone in my clan can afford to pay 500 crystals for PRO battle or to buy a PRO battle pass.

[creeperskelly 1,281]

I seem to recall that the vast majority of people disliked this.

 

Why was it still implemented?

No more XP...

Everything would have been great except for the removal of custom names..

@corpsecrusher, stop whining, and stop bringing that up in every single topic semyon makes

@canadarules, -_-  same as always

Here is constructive feedback.

 

CONS 

 

1. Why reduce rank limit? Now i can't create battles with gens... I cannot invite gens to my rank up (2k exp more). NOt to mention, I can't play with my real life friend anymore, who is a WO2. Rank limit was never a problem. All people had to do was search for a suitable battle manually, and still have the choice of challenging themselves by playing with higher ranked people or choosing a battle where everyone has the same rank. The solution to any perceived problem definitely is NOT to limit battles ranks without even giving people a choice to expand that rank limit.

 

2. The fact that private battles need pro pass to enter is ridiculous. This means anyone with close friends in TO is basically forced to buy the pro pass, which costs a bomb for the lower ranks, especially since the crystal box drops have been removed! In the past, most of the people who bought pro passes were XP players. Now, even people who like private battles (parkour, rank ups, duels, etc) now have to purchase the pass, even if they previously did not have the need to.

 

3.Battle names were unique and nice, giving a very personalised and player oriented gaming interface. With the removal of the battle names, not only are players now unable to specify battle format (XP/ rank up/ tournament etc ), it makes TO more mechanical in a way and removes that sense of nostalgia and all other sorts of emotional connections. 

 

4. The choice selection of which game mode of battles have been removed. The ones at the bottom left corner of the middle column containing all the battles. This, if intended to make the lobby seem more compact or user friendly has achieved the opposite effect as players now have to manually search through all the battles, instead of just the battle game modes he/she intends to play.

 

5. I noticed that  you cannot view battles out of your rank limit unless the link is in the chat or a friend is in it. This is a bad move, although not really significant. Some people like viewing battles just for fun so this is not really a major drawback. The absence of such battles give the false impression that a server is empty. This however, is not a main issue and is based soley on preference so I am not particularly against it.

 

PROS

 

On the other hand

 

1. The lobby is much more organised

 

2. Important details of a battle such as time and map are now displayed clearly where the battle names originally were. This makes deducing if a match is suitable much easier.

 

Conclusion.

 

With the removal of battle names, devs need to implement a separate server where battle names are allowed or only XP is allowed ASAP because the battle configurations under "PRO" battles have limited options and do not offer modes like "RankUp" or "Parkour" or "XP" or "Wasp Fire" for example.

We have removed custom battle names : bad idea. Because of inappropriate language? There is inappropriate language in chat, remove it.
