Invalid Highlight servers with most players of your rank

[Yisroel.Rabin 16,239]

PROBLEM:

Hey there. I'm sure you all know about the server sorter (or whatever it's called, that's just what I call it). I never really understood what it's main purpose was (besides loading servers easily). I knew the highlighted (white) servers could mean one of two things:

[A] Designating that server for players your rank.

The majority of people on that server are you rank.

 

I'm currently a Marshal, and my highlighted server is EN1, so I went there, and neither A or B is the case. It mainly consists of higher ranked battles that reach all the way to Generalissimo (I know the difference between Marshal and Gen. doesn't seem much, but trust me, it's hard for me to play with them). 
And even though the battle does reach my rank, almost all the players in the battles are Gens, so it's impossible B is the case either.

So unless the highlighted servers don't mean A or B, there's a problem, it's not accurate. I want a server with the majority of people my rank on it, and at the same time, don't want to look through every server to find it.

 

POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

This is more of an idea (thus belonging in the Ideas & Suggestions section), but I guess I'll post it here (since it's a problem, and this is a solution), and if anyone decided to move it, go for it.

Anyways, the possible solution is that instead of having that server highlighted, with no noticeable purpose, it should actually find the server with the most Marshals (my rank) on it, and highlight it.

 

Thank,

Rabin

First off, to clarify, the highlighted servers are the servers designated to your rank but that doesn't necessarily mean you will find only that rank there, it just means that if you click "Play" on the main screen of the game it will redirect you to that server so it helps group players of the same rank. Moreover, one server is not for one rank only, my main server is also EN1, even though I am a Generalissimo. Now, about the idea itself. Honestly, I find your idea better than the current system. It will help much a lot better to group players together.

Exactly. Maybe the automatic server sorting doesn't have to go, but I would really like my idea implemented as well, it sounds rather good actually. Rather than the game choosing where we go, we choose where we go. :P

From where are you logging on? If you click on the "Play" button on the main game page it will send you to your designated server.

That usually happens if u click skip tutorial, when u first enter tanki, o I guess this server is for the lowest ranks (Recruit, Private,...)

Well, unless you use a link to join the game, it should send you to EN1. Oh, by the way, I am talking about browser, not Standalone flash player.

Hhh, of course, Flash Player would never take you to a random server...

Due to servers no longer being visible and the battle list being united into one after an upcoming update, this idea is no longer applicable.

 

Idea invalid. Closed.
