Changes in the battle creation system

It doesn't seem to work as I expected. I only needed a TDM to complete my daily missions, so I went to a server with no pro-battles. When I hit the "Battle" button it created a DM battle. I got out of it and waited for it to dissapear. Tried again and this time it created a CP battle. So the battle button doesn't keep your daily missions in mind.

 

Nothing to do than to wait for the next update....

:lol:

Turn on your TDM filter.

It doesn't keep your daily missions in mind, and nobody was saying that. You have to take responsibility for your own missions.

He created a noob account called S.P.A.M.

I made a youtube video on that 1 v 1.

Yeah that's not going to be possible anymore without a PRO pass, but hey, maybe you can show off your creative capabilities by thinking of other things you can record in free battles.

Only enable TDM in your filter:  In this case, the Battle button will only create TDM battles.

OK, I bought a Pro Pass a couple days ago...cool, now I can do what I used to do in Tanki with my now nerfed weapons...oh, wait...there are not enough PLAYERS anymore.  They are only players at peak times!  

 

I make a battle and wait...and wait....and wait; quit and make another...and wait...and wait...a guy joins, I kill him twice and he quits and I wait...and wait...and wait.  I bought your Pro Pass to be able to play on the maps I wish but now there is no competition left.

 

Good work Tanki developers...it's a flop, big time.

Welcome to My Daily Whinge.

 

I did the same, ByeByeBye, and I have been saying something similar for days now.  My Serapuv (thingy whatever it's called) mission is unfullfilled because there are no battles there.  Start one yourself!! I hear the brainwashed say.  Oh yes brilliant, I scuttle around like Billy No Mates for about 5 minutes until crouching down in the corner smacking my head against the wall at the futility of it.

 

With few exceptions the battles are now full to capacity so it's like going to a crowded shopping centre where everybody has a supermarket trolley bashing into each other whilst going nowhere.

 

I am going to paint a wall and then watch it slowly dry, that will be exciting.  I shall call it Painti Online and tell people they can earn paint runs to purchase bigger brushes and eggshell paint and if I get enough painters they can splash paint all over the place and each other.  Hang on there I reckon I am onto something.

I see a lot of battles on the maps for the missions.

 

And crowded battles are a good thing. That's one of the improvements. Nobody liked creating a battle and having a few players join and then leave.

Not on my playing rank there isn't.

 

Crowded battles may be good for some but I prefer the limited ones, maybe 6 or 8 players on a small uncomplicated map.  I can hear my mum say, "You will get what you are given my lad!"  When I would ask, "What's for dinner?"   Same thing here, no choice.

Well the good news is there's always some Sandbox battles out there ;)

 

The thing you must understand, is that most players prefer full battles and hate empty ones.  Tanki has to come up with updates that will suit the average and casual tanker as well. You are a special case, and you cannot demand something from TO that way.  If you want to play a special, small-sided battle, buy the PRO pass. But understand that the goal of Tanki is to have full, thriving, active battles. If you want to play a special, small-sided game with friends, thats what the PRO pass is for. :)

Did you even try them? Just because you never played on that map before and it's not familiar doesn't mean that it's automatically crap. Many maps created by the automatic battle system have amazing gameplay on them and, personally, I've been waiting for years to play some good battles on them, because before the update they never filled up when I created them.

 

Try maps like Bobruisk, Solikamsk, Brest, Kolhoz, Industrial Zone. They're really fun once you figure out how to get around them.

Please don't tell me what I like and don't, or assume I've not played the maps. I can't try the maps you mention unless tanki puts them up, which is my case in point. We are stuck playing what they want us to play. They've got a month to let us freely choose games or I'm out.

What he's saying is that the maps the battle button creates are more diverse, varied and interesting than the 6-8 Polygon, Rio, and Noise battles  that stuffed the server.

I've seen plenty of maps that were dead before the update just come back alive after it... that's not a legit excuse.

I guess that's what people liked.

Not an excuse for what? Stuck playing someone else's map choice?

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

No, but people liked getting crystals fast, and those maps are the best for that. Most people wanted to play on different maps but whenever they created a battle very few people would join. :(

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

That's just the thing. There's much more diversity in map choices so you have more choice.  

 

Before, you literally WERE stuck playing someone else's map choice, because all maps were created by players. Now, you are "stuck" playing randomly generated varied maps.

[Redlinezak_EN 83]

EN1 has been deathly quiet since this update.

 

Yes yes yes i know i can go searching through the other servers, just statitng that before this update there was a good choice of battles in here.

Are you serious? What logic are you using? I wasn't stuck with someone's map choice, I started the map I wanted to play in. 

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

And let me guess: It filled up fast, with many players, who stuck around and didn't leave in 2 minutes. ;)

Again, I guess that's what people wanted. You can't deny the obvious. I've started maps and left because no one came, and I've started maps and invited people and they have been awesome. I want the choice to do that.

[Scythe 5]

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. But it was my choice. Now I have to pay for that same option. Pro pass doesn't guarantee a map full of players, in fact there are less of them around now as tanki has split the game in two.

Actually, the (drugs-off) PRO battles fill up relatively faster than before in my opinion since more people have the pass and there aren't that many drugs-off PRO battles.  Demand is greater than supply. All you have to do is make the battle drugs-off and many people will join, who are looking for a good drugs-off battle and can't find one.

Does not always happen.

 

Took me two days to complete my Red Alert mission. And I have a Pro Pass now.

Not enough people using them yet to make map missions doable in a timely fashion.

Technically, that was the case before the update too. And it was much much worse. Players who disliked Polygon, Noise, Rio, etc had no choice because no one would join the battles on other maps. Now, with the battle button it's much more fair. Players get to explore and maybe like rarer maps. The battle button, however doesn't differentiate between any maps so you'll still find some Polygon and Noise battles in the server which you can join directly.

You're entitled to your opinion. Doesn't change the fact I want to create my own map and can't unless I pay for it.

You work for tanki? Seriously, I made maps and invited people. Sometimes it worked and sometimes no, but it was MY CHOICE. I don't think I should have to pay for the same chance of making a map no one plays.
