Let's discuss Random Battles (Matchmaking system)

[Hate 5,582]

 

Battles will be created by the system just like the short period of time the mach making system was tested in real servers.

Like I said, I don't trust robots. I'd love to spawn in on a Island CTF with my Railgun.

I don't think Island will be included in the matchmaker, currently it isn't even in the list of battles that can be made with the Battle button.

Right, but I just like that map. The shape of it, the distance between the 2 teams, the gap between them, the... it is just wonderful map for me.

This map currently doesn't fit the 10v10 basics requirement of MM. Therefore, unless it is reworked to a size that can fit 10v10 (which is unlikely) then no it will not be featured in the MM.

I was implying the decisions would be completely random and not account for equipment, hence the Railgun on Island notion. I don't trust robots.

Currently most of the maps in battle list (which I assume will be carried over to matchmaker) are medium sized and facilitate both short and long range turrets. The only exception is Polygon and Highland, but they are both going to be modified and enlarged somewhat.

You mean algorithms, well it depends on the creator of those algorithms, and I don't trust Tanki too much in this aspect. However the matchmaking test was not too bad for a test.

 

There is one important thing I would like from Tanki and that is transparency, lately I feel like they were making silent updates to the game.

What makes you think this way, were there silent updates in the game lately?

I tried Vulcan the other day and it feels different, it overheats very slowly. And Striker has a long lock-on memory, it's ridiculous. I'm not saying those turrets are OP, but they feel different than before.

The last time when Vulcan's overheating was changed, it was nerfed, so it overheats rather quickly. But the repair kit update made Vulcan stronger again, because of its rapid fire. I think Striker's lockon memory was buffed from 0.7 to 1 sec a while back. Yet Striker is still not very common. Anyway those changes were officially announced changes a while ago and the numbers in the wikis haven't changed since then.

Striker badly needed the lock-on buff. I remember when it first came out it was so difficult and frustrating to lock-on.

Being a regular M1 and getting paired up with M3 people 9+ ranks above mine really started to get annoying and kinda unfair. Not just one, but every single match I go there's at least one Marshal player, along with other ranks way out of my league. So really wondering what is matchmaking based on ?  :mellow:  :mellow:

[CabbageRoll 3,018]

based on money making like all else

Matchmaking system hasn't been released yet.

 

For now you can search for a good battle in list which fits your rank.

 

BTW you should have at least one M2 combo till now, you are even a buyer.

I only spent 10 bucks once. wasted all the cry from it upgrading shaft M1 and viking M1. 

Guess I just suck at the game financially ~ if there was a way to get those cry back I'd kill for it.

Anyway, I'm just wondering about the current system. like how are matches getting balanced now.

It doesn't matter joining a match of my rank when higher leagues are going to join afterwards.

Server by server if you need to. No one says you have to play on the server you're sent to when you log in. For now, the battle button may send you just about anywhere. Some players use the battle button if they are looking for a challenge.

The next test is probably at least a few weeks off. We won't see permanent MatchMaking for months.

 

^based on feedback from our community manager

[Hate 5,582]

Exactly. Follow the news section for more info and keep watching the weekly v-logs. We all are equal when it comes to info so none of us has pre-released info.

TBH you should have at least one M2 by your rank.

That said, you are right, the rank brackets are stupid.

Well matchmaking system is an excelent idea but i think that we can still make battles.

So it still needs improvements but however awesome idea!!!

I'm terrified of the matchmaking system

 

I just played a game on desert cp battle. Our teams were locked even. Then we had a lead.

 

Then it happened.

 

We started losing.

 

Players were leaving.

 

The system didn't give us new players.

 

It was a perfectly good game.

 

Now, maybe players weren't selecting "play cp battles".

 

They couldn't SEE that there was a game IN progress. 

 

It was 20-11 for us. Then it was 15-15. Then before I knew it, we were losing 54=10 or something ridiculous. 

 

What does the server just give up trying to fill our games? 

 

In the end, 10 min of my life wasted is meh. 

 

But I am fully confident that had there been people to see that game happening... our team would have filled back up.

 

And the other thing, if it had filled which I think for at imd we were getting one or two.. what if it just gives us BAD players? low ranks?

 

Gah, I'm terrified to see what matchmaking will do to this game. I'm just terrified.

Players won't be able to leave without a penalty in the final iteration of matchmaker. Also, don't you get bad players in normal battles too?

Matchmaking is not yet in the game. They just changed the lobby and you use the old program-logic of the battle button
