Score cap for standard battles (Updated on August 28)

[semyonkirov 29,038]

Tankers!

Today we’ve introduced an additional way of ending standard team battles. From now on, in addition to a time limit, each of the three standard length battles will have a score cap as follows:
 

Team Deathmatch (TDM)

• 15 minutes: a total of 100 kills for one of the teams
• 30 minutes: a total of 200 kills for one of the teams
• 60 minutes: a total of 400 kills for one of the teams

Capture the Flag (CTF)

• 15 minutes: a total of 10 captured flags for one of the teams
• 30 minutes: a total of 20 captured flags for one of the teams
• 60 minutes: a total of 40 captured flags for one of the teams

Control Points (CP)

• 15 minutes: a total of 100 CP points for one of the teams
• 30 minutes: a total of 200 CP points for one of the teams
• 60 minutes: a total of 400 CP points for one of the teams

The battle automatically ends when either the time limit or the score cap is reached. For example, a 30 minute CTF battle will end before the 30 minute time limit, if one of the two teams captures a total of 10 flags.

This change only affects standard team battles — PRO and DM ones remain unchanged.

The aim of this update is to make battles with uneven teams or a clear winner end sooner. This way, the tankers involved in them won’t need to wait too long till the next round starts. This means the action should become even more intense.

IMPORTANT: the current parameters are not final and can be changed based on the analysis of the game or the feedback provided.

That’s it, tankers. Enter the game, try out the new score cap system for yourselves, and don’t forget to share your feedback on the feature in this topic. Good luck!

 

Updated on August 28:

We've removed the limit for DM battles. Score caps for TDM, CTF and CP battles were increased, as requested.

So, no one thought what will happen to Island, Ping-pong and Hill CTF.

A 15 min battle will end in 2 or 3 mins. Who will want to play these battles?

So, we need a pro battle pass now :P

 

Edit : My feedback after score caps are increased by 100%

Really!? Looked like a good update before but now that you do it there are no long battles at all without pro pass and can't even enjoy a game on my alt -_-

yay. i love this update, havent even seen it yet but still love the sound of it

[Extant 154]

Terrible for smaller maps... they should have known this would happen before it was rolled out... why not make the changes then instead of after release?

As it was said, the current parameters are not final. Further tweaking can, and most likely will be done. Perhaps we'll do exactly what you mention: the cap will be individual for each map.

Yes, i read that later, i was going to edit my comment :D

Maybe there should be different flag limits for different maps :)

 

I did not noticed again :ph34r:

Seems nice.

[Wimp35 71]

About time...

[xZilverxx 188]

Meh I usually only play pro battles, plus the flag cap for small maps like Hill and Island will make the battle end too soon.

Hideous for some maps; some battles will end far sooner.

 

EDIT: Now it's slightly better, but tailoring the point/kill/flag cap to the map is vital. Dusseldorf CPs, for example, still suffer, as do Island CTFs.

Sounds good! Nice steps Tanki ;)

[g.a.m.e.2 37]

This Update Is Bad For Low rankers That play with No Pro pass The Battle Will End Earlier and Fund Will be Really low Which makes golden Boxes  Less Likely to Fall Sorry i Disagree with this Update ↓↓ Thumbs Down ↓↓

[Palm-Face 378]

Are you kidding me? 50 kills is possible in 8 minutes, I can usually get to 80+ kills in a normal dm and 5 caps??? That is SO little!!! Tanki please reconsider this update as it just stinks.

[r_royalraj0 1,810]

Lets try and this update will reduce the amount of timer stuck battles

[Scorpenstein 159]

On first impressions, this would seem to affect small maps far more than large ones. 

I rarely see 5 flags captured in 15 minutes on Highway or Monte Carlo CTF, for example, but these limits seem far too low for smaller maps, and will reduce battle funds earned for skilful players.

 

A different end-win-condition for each individual map (or size class) would seem a sensible adjustment of this update.

 

To enhance this, Tanki could officially classify each map's size...

 

(1) Tiny           eg. Island, Ping Pong, Duel, Hill

(2) Small         eg. Valley, Wave

(3) Medium     eg. Polygon, Farm

(4) Large         eg. Monte Carlo, Rio

(5) Huge         eg. Kungur, Highway

 

...and have restricted win conditions based on the size class of the map (conditions increased by length of battle)

 

Also, as this update is meant to stop unfair battles due to team sizes, the ratio of players on each team could also be used to calculate the win conditions at the start of a battle.

 

*edited to reclassify Farm.

That's not fair at all since a 15 minute match where we could get more than 1000xp will be reduced and we will get less crystals... :(  So, if play in noise and I win in 2 minute then whats happen??? now the battle will last shorter and will be poorer...except some of us 

[Narinder_gill 55]

hello,

i an saying that 5 captures only for 15 minutes and capture point 50 for 15 minute battle is not not good it is not giving the funds to us i enterred a game and i got 52 crystals for winning side thats not good.and plus the sale is coming we have to earn crystals so we cannot earn them specialy big ranks cannot spent 15 minutes for only 100 crystals we cannot buy m2 and m3s with this. also specially for people like me who dont buy crystals and thats it. you should remove the capture flags and capture point thing.it looks really good  in DM and TDM.But not in CP and CTF.

 

Thank you,

Narinder_gill

Why are you doing this to tankers??? Now gold boxes will almost never drop. And we will receive almost nothing when the battle ends.

Edited August 27, 2015 by ChippeRockTheMurph

[Narinder_gill 55]

On short maps it should be more flags and points and in big maps like highways,kungur,forest it is good 

[Narinder_gill 55]

i will nah to this update no don't do it foreever

[OKDad70 862]

I believe I shall play Tanki for 1000 years before I see an update more stupid.

[Real_Uchiha_Sasuke 189]

This also means less the fund because normal battles will end faster and less fund means less chances of gold box 

[Technophyle 367]

I think no gold will drop in Island, Ping-Pong and Hill CTF in standard battles at least for today :p
