Episode 138 of the V-LOG is here

[Guest]

So K/D won't be affected in private battles? Also what if we are playing tournaments/clan battles we won't get any crystals...?

If they're private, you won't.

[Guest]

Why do you care so much about others "power-leveling"?  How does that affect you?

 

Can't be affecting you more than not being able to do missions in Pro-Battles affects me...

Actually, power-leveling does affect other players, because it gives the power-levelers an unfair advantage.

[Bakili_79 60]

tanki is dead.........

[Guest]

So we won't be able to choose the map in which we want to do missions?

Assuming the system will once again allow players to complete missions in custom battles, yes you will. It's only PRIVATE battles that won't allow you to get experience points or battle fund.

It says on the quiz, the results will be given on 7th June, but it is July tomorrow :D

Lol, sorry. Fixed it. Thanks for the catch  :)

Not gonna solve quiz just for 1k as I know this is for only 1 community..

[Guest]

I have a question.

 

If two groups of players use the matchmaking system to create a CP battle and play it, will this battle appears in the battlelist? And if someone leaves that battle, will I be able to join that specific battle?

The way I understood it, if a battle was created by the MM system, it will NOT appear in the battle list.

[Guest]

If drugs added 50% instead of 100%, I would find that much more palatable.

Try suggesting that to someone who just spent a ton of money on supplies. Imagine we took your favorite turret and cut the damage by 50%.

 

Tweaking and slight nerfs are one thing. Cutting by half is a whole different thing.

CooperO

so it won't be possible to join those by clicking on any of the matchmaking buttons.

 

please correct me on what I think your trying to say is.. if you want to go to these battles you can ,but not with the match making system you can only use this with the button system only. I hope this is what your say cause you got me confused lol ,/ Sorry starting to party the Canadian way with brain in party mode and not on logic thinking..

Here's the exact transcript of what Alex Schafer said in the V-LOG:

 

"The current system with the “Battle” button isn’t perfect, but it works. It’s major flaw —and this is something that might surprise many tankers— is that the battles created by the Battle button, are also IN the battle list. So the actual game problems, such as sabotage, aren’t being resolved, and the balance of battles can be wrong. That’s why we’re working on the Matchmaking system."

 

To me, it sounds like the battles created by the Battle buttons will not appear in the battle list. If a battle was created by one of the Battle buttons, you will only be able to join it by being in the queue (by pressing the Battle button). If a battle is in the battle list, you will only be able to join it by clicking on it in the list.

[Guest]

no use playing pro if no experience are funds this is total

Listen to the V-LOG again. That is NOT what it said.

[Guest]

^Sigh - Private not PRO. Pro battles will still give Crys and XP.

 

Here is what I am not clear on. Will there still be a list of servers? If so then I agree that power leveling and those wasp Fire battles will still exist.

I have no information about servers at this point. However, I do recall Hazel saying that he wanted the Battle button to take you to the best battle on any server, not just the one you're on right now. So maybe devs are indeed moving towards that.

[Penguin40 1,714]

Huh. Sounds nice. Private battles not giving XP/crystals is pretty bad for rankup parties but overall its okay, at least we CAN play privately. I never cared about crystals in clan trainings anyways, and not too much about XP :P

 

Yeah. Matchmaking sounds awesome. Absolutely awesome. Well, at least at this point. Also nice to see so much work on critical errors! :p

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

Question:

Will we see random battles in the battle list? I actually doubt so.. but the vLog was not precise on this issue.

 

 

Random battles yes, you'll be able to see those by pressing on the 6th button (which says 'Battle list'):

 

 

 

 

 

 

The way I understood it, if a battle was created by the MM system, it will NOT appear in the battle list.

 

I also assume that they are not visible, for the exact same reason that Cedrics quoted below:

 

 

Here's the exact transcript of what Alex Schafer said in the V-LOG:

"The current system with the “Battle” button isn’t perfect, but it works. It’s major flaw —and this is something that might surprise many tankers— is that the battles created by the Battle button, are also IN the battle list.

If a battle was created by one of the Battle buttons, you will only be able to join it by being in the queue (by pressing the Battle button). If a battle is in the battle list, you will only be able to join it by clicking on it in the list.

 

 

Up to now this manual selection of battles was the most powerful way to influence your crystal-to-xp ratio (play only what you can win). So this will end for random battles.. while it prevails for custom battles.

I am very, very nosy, how this will affect the popularity of the random battles, one the players find this out.

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

I'm more curious about how it would operate.

Would it be like a robot mechanism where the devs would do maintenance on it if needed, or would someone be controlling it the entire time?

Ps: plz tell us how HTML5 is progressing on the next V-log.

^ plz answer my question.

[Magenta 5,165]

Will the battle be balanced by sending people with particular equips to particular battles? I mean, let's say for a balanced battle, a particular set of equipments should be there. So will the matchmaking system send a balanced set to a battle? So is equipment a criteria the system will consider?

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Actually, power-leveling does affect other players, because it gives the power-levelers an unfair advantage.

So you admin saboteurs ruin the game for everyone to stop a few (hell, maybe thousands...what does it really matter) power levelers.  This is throwing the baby out with the bath water.  THINK a tiny bit. 

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

This matchmaking is a change that no one wants.  OK, maybe six admin lackeys want it, but the vast majority DO NOT.  Take a poll....I dare you.

[x_Sorinel_x 52]

Will the druggs be a part of the Matchmaking System ?

We got a CTF with 8 versus 8 players. The teams will be split with supplies used equal ? Or one team can get more druggers, and the other team less druggers ?

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Do you admin folk actually think this matchmaking system will ATTRACT new players...that it will IMPROVE the game?  Your numbers are falling...I would venture to guess your income is falling too even though you are now exposed on Steam and Mini-Clip.  Matchmaking will make Tanki's downward slide worse.  I foresee long waits to join a battle that terminates quickly when the losing side bails out. 

 

I am so glad I didn't send in the $220 I was going to pay for my daughter's account and mine.  Had Tanki remained the same as it used to be, with Standard Battle creation, I would have funded these two accounts (maybe more since I have two other kids) very generously.  GTA is $150 for the game and a mega-curency-card; taking my kid to a movie and a pizza is an easy $50 to $60 and that is only four hours of entertainment!  We used to play Tanki together and have a blast....for hours and hours and days and days...$500 would be CHEAP entertainment if Tanki could be relied upon.  The constant changes have made my daughter quit playing completely.  I only do a mission a day and quit.  Matchmaking will make Tanki a game to log in, kill a bit, and quit...no mission chains, no drive to upgrade or rank-up, nothing to spend real money on, just a time waster.

 

What a shame you keep ruining the game an update at a time.

 

Sorry to hog the thread, but I'm angry and writing is cathartic.

ok so why have the battle button in the first place seeing it will be replaced down the road with Match making system , which will also have issues .

 

as we are starting to see that players who want to do XP/PB wont be able to get crystals for this or any battle made in the  system so in other words gold drops / parkour / private battles / mine hunt and other events which are created by our self's .

 

this is not good if this is the case due to most players enjoy making there own battles to play with friends or get experience practicing using other turrets.

 

If this is what I understand how it will be . were now stuck only playing in certain battles to get crystals in and the company saves imaginary funds , this now will leave players not buying things due to no crystals no fun..

 

. so why play tanki when your killing your own game as we see it from a players view point..
