Episode 138 of the V-LOG is here

[D.a.n.t.e 475]

 

 

Next Friday, please make both a V-Log and a Live Stream.

Even better, they should join the two... Live V-Log Stream with Hazel and Cedric, and it should last 30 minutes, nothing more, nothing less.

 

And they should announce a new Tank with Four Wheels with 10k hp that has an incorporated magnet, positive '+' on the front, negative '-' on the back. This to attract or repel other tanks.

 

Please.

 

EDIT: Someone reminded me to use the Edit Button instead the Reply Button to not make multiple consecutive posts. Sorry. Me so sad. :( Also using this to make some changes to my post and to say 'please' to the devs. :)

Good idea Dante. The should combine the V-Log and Live Stream to make a Live V-Log Stream that should last 30 minutes long.

 

I also like and agree with your idea on the tank with four wheels with 10K HP.

Each of the four wheels can turn independently from the others, all controlled by the Tank's CPU.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

The concept of the four independent wheels is a good one. Good thought though.

[C.O.N.Q.U.E.R.O.R 3,845]

Oh geez. Don't take me wrong; I'm happy about all these updates. 

I'm just wondering how you guys are going to rid Tanki of the previous problem that got Battle Names removed; which was, if you didn't know already, that people used cuss words in their battle names. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem except the person who created the battle was never named... So how will this be neutralized?
 

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

You folks have bright ideas. Put ideas together to make a better Tanki Online game.

[D.a.n.t.e 475]

 

 

Wheels independent from the other wheels of the same hull of the same tank. ;)

You have posted your idea on the wrong topic, buddy.

 

We got an "Ideas for Hulls" topic in "Ideas and Suggestions" forum.

[tommygun12 4]

another terrible update, disappointed..

 

There will always be cheaters! I give tanki some credit for trying to fix this, but you've also ruined it for players who just want to clan battle or go with friends. You can't punish everyone for someones cheating, if those tankers wanna ruin the game for themselves, who cares. This is obviously another update for money by tanki, highly disappointed.

Matchmaking system will be same as "Battle" button. But instead of just "Battle" button, it will be replaced with 6 buttons; 

 

1. Random team battle 
2. DeathMatch
3. CTF ( Capture the flag)
4. TDM ( Team Death Match)
5. CP ( Control Point)
6. Battle list

Those are the 6 buttons will be replaced with battle button. So, for example, if you click on "Random team battle" button, it will take you to a random TEAM battle, e,g, CTF,CP or TDM. and if you click on CTF (Capture the flag) button, it will take you to a random CTF battle, same for DM, TDM and CP. It will take you to a respective battle mode you pick.

 

6th (Battle list) button will send you to an existing battle from the battle list.

 

6th button... can we choose one of the battles?  "send you" sounds random...

[KingZayan 3]

does we can make parkour battles without pro pass

[CooperO 7,956]

 Yes, you'll be able to pick battles from the list and create ones yourself. None of the matchmaking battles will be displayed there, only the custom ones.

 

does we can make parkour battles without pro pass

After the update yes, the PRO battle pass will be removed from the game.

Just several questions regarding the Matchmaking update I am very worried about. I'm really looking forward to the update, and if these can be solved, I'm gonna love it :D

 

1. Format battles. Will there be an option for format battle in the matchmaker or are we only going to be able to play them without gaining XP and crystals?

 

2. The good ol' rank parties. Yes, we can create a battle and enter for our rank party, but if we cannot gain XP, how do we rank in that battle? Will this update mean that rankups will now be totally uncontrollable in the sense we can't enjoy, video, and 'congradulate' with our friends?

 

3. Playing with friends much higher in ranks than you. My XP Tandem pal is a Generalisimo. We enter 2v2 Sandbox maps and rek peeps :p We can still do this in the 'pro-battles.' But it'll be only half the fun with no reward. Way around: Use the new team-up function and join the matchmaker battles! but wait, he's like 10 ranks above me. Will he be allowed into the battle? 

 

4. Similar to above. If there is a clan of variating ranks wanting a clan vs randoms, say 5v5, and they want to use the matchmaking system. But they all all variating ranks, say WO4 - Major. Will the Matchmaking system accommodate for this?

 

5. Probably got an answer already somewhere, but I'd like to know. Will there be variating settings for different battles? Eg. Non-supplies, Must Off/On? Implementing this, and letting players pick their settings would fix Question 1.

1. Mhm. Not sure, but even Cedric seems to have confirmed in posts that you can easily play format battles thru creating battle, albeit it'll be public and others can join. Private wont give xp. Yes, Cedric said that in his last post.

 

2. That's the only problem. No rankup parties without the risk of ruiners joining now (without invites), unless TO does something about it. :c

 

3. I presume you mean friends vs randoms? Either do it via the battle group system (cr8 group, invite friend to it, battle another group), or go to battle list and create a public battle which people can join. Join one team, and enemies will join the other.

 

4. Similar to above. Do it via battle group (tricky, I'll admit, as the more players in a group, the harder it is to find a match). Or do it by creating battle in battle list, quickly joining one team and randoms join the other team.

 

5. Probably yes. I can't think Tanki would actually remove this all-important bit from the game. It would ruin esports and clans too, not just regular gameplay. Might be wrong, but I really can't think Tanki would remove either custom formats OR variable settings. Don't take this for confirmation, altho Cedric did say formats will be there. Also, the name is CUSTOM, so I wonder how they can be custom when they don't allow variable settings xD

So all matchmaking (mission-compatible) battles will be random?  random Map?

 

That's disappointing. Get placed in maps I hate like Iran and will have to drop out. Then try again. And again...

I don't know exactly how it will work, but that's a valid concern. Although chances are slim you'll be sent to a map you don't like time and again (unless of course you dislike most maps..;p).

[maryam98 1,171]

Making custom battles free to join makes me wonder what's planned for missions in the future. It makes sense not to bother much with the matchmaking battles to achieve missions, just join no-supply battles instead, knowing that there's no pass cost to join them, mission supplies are not needed and PRO-type battles give better crystal rewards(usually).

 

There would need to be more of an incentive to play matchmaking battles than to just play mult-free. The recent update that made non-PRO battles as the only battles that count for missions led to an increase in players in non-PRO, so Tanki knows that tweaking things with missions works. The mission rewards would need to be too good to turn down.

Didn't Hazel-rah say no missions in custom battles?

Edit: Found the quote:

To clear things out: custom battles will not contribute to compleation of daily missions. Though, daily missions will be rebalanced to fit match making system as compleating something like "get 1st place" in 10vs10 is a bit too hard to do in reasonable time.

That's what DaiDefed is saying here - "It makes sense not to bother much with the matchmaking battles to achieve missions, just join no-supply battles instead..."

 

problem with skipping missions is... that's a lost income.  Those that play matchmaking can get free crystals and also play in Custom no-supply as well. 

 

They will have an income advantage.  Once you've got ~ full garage won't matter so much.  But until then...

Oh I get it now. You're right, I find missions a very good income source especially with x3 chain rewards

It will be - more or less - one of the maps the battle button sends you today as well. You can not pick one of those battles that the matchmaking system sends other players to.

 

In theory there could be something done about it (like displaying the map after you clicked [3-CTF ( Capture the flag)] - while it collects players - and so before it sends you to the map).. but this has the disadvantage that it will not work well in non-peak times with a low active player count.

 

I think (fear) that the players that specialize on one or two turrets will face maps that their turret

1) does not work well in (like Striker in Rio)

2) does work so great that everyone has 50% protection (like Rail in Serpuchov)

 

But to be fair, the most common maps in Tanki are designed to work very well with almost every turret. So if your chance to fail with the turret-to-map combination is about 1/10, then you can easily exit the battle and click the button again a few seconds later, as it happens rarely.

 

Let's see.

The thing will be new for Tanki and it is only natural that problems have been overlooked and have to be tweaked out later on.

Question 2:

 

If today is June the 30th, for how many days has the friend system been in the game? *

 

Correct Answer: 1446

 

Wrong Answer: 1445

 

You need to count July 16 of 2013 as day 1, because you can't call it day 0. Let's suppose the system was introduced in the morning and removed in the afternoon, in that case you can't say the system has been in the game for 0 days, you say it has been for one day.

 

I'm posting this to highlight the fact that many just wait for the answer to be posted and don't seek for the answers themselves. ;)

Actually, I found some online thingy that said 1445, so that may be the correct answer. I don't know, I'm not a logician. And I didn't use the posted answers for the 1st and 2nd questions, but then I got stuck on the 3rd and just looked at the posted ones Edited July 4, 2017 by maryam98

It is not a big deal, and 1445 was the closest answer. :)

You have to think of a day as 24 hours or until the date changes. On the day it's been introduced, it is day 0, because it hasn't been in the game for a whole day and the date hasn't changed yet.

If the system was introduced in the morning and removed in the afternoon, it has been in the game only for a couple of hours, not a whole day.

Can't remember, I searched on google for 'how many days since (friends system date, forgotten it)' and the first calculator that came up, I used it
