Now you can't create battles?

[Baphodude 2]

I'm disappointed, I went back to play Tanki and I find that now you can't create a battle. There are no "normal" battles in Rio except on very rare occations, the good maps are restricted because of this. Obviously they did it because they want people to pay more, but was it really necessary? The game is very crippled because of this. I know I can purchase the pro pass, but it's annoying to have to pay in crystals for something else, I have to pay for the turret, the body, the new modules, upgrades for every part and the skins, it gets annoying.

The Pro pass will be removed once the matchmaking system is introduced.

Why banned players cant make battles?

names for battles were removed long time ago

[Hate 5,582]

 

First question: Well, first of all since they can not post battle links or invite someone, that's why the system doesn't allow them to create a battle(s). And secondly, not being able to create battles is one of the intentional penalties for getting a ban. It's there to encourage banned players to follow rules so that they don't have to face the inconvenience of not being able to create battles and this won't be changed.

 

Second question: Reason why naming battles to whatever players wanted was removed was because it started becoming more work for moderators since they had to check if the battle names violated the game rules such as creating battles that has insults or even links to third-party websites and much much more which was the reason why the option to rename battles was removed.

Well, you don't have to pay for everything. And to create a battle, you have to buy the pro pass, this was because many battles that were created were basically empty before this update happened.

I hope that's the case.

I had an old account 2 years ago, I know how things were. Yes, there were some empty battles, but not that many, and I'd rather have some empty battles that are virtually harmless than not being able to play on my fave map. I used to log in and always find a good battle in Rio but now that never happens, I only see an occational battle in Rio and it's always a pro battle that I can't join.

 

Maybe I come off as a hater, but I'm really not, I love the game and I'm thankful that the developers provided me with so many hours of entretainment. But it's still an issue, once I get more familiar with the current state of the game I'll make suggestions in the apropriate subforum, I want to help.

 

Like for example, the only thing that's wrong with an empty battle is that you can collect boxes very easily. That's an easy fix (as far as I can see): make it so that grabbing a box only counts if there is, say, 6 or more players in each team. Done.

 

When you take away maps like this, it's a problem because for this kind of game you have to "memorize" each map. Most people, I imagine, don't have time to memorize every map, so they look for specific ones. I looked for Rio and Silence 90% of the time.

 

Now there's little consistency to what maps you have at your disposal, sometimes you're forced to play maps you don't want because atm there are no maps that are familiar to you aviable. For the resons I've stated, that's a problem too. I wish the "that way it encourages players to try new maps" argument were true. You can only have so many types of tanks, you can only memorize so many maps and you can only spend so much time on a game... I guess that makes it clear.

Well, daily missions can only be done in non pro battles now.

Welcome back. That's not the only poor update you've missed. And it will get even worse: once Matchmaking is introduced, you won't even be able to select the battle / map in which to play from the existing list..

Someone forgot to read the VLogs...

Devs will implement a button that players can press that allows them to browse the battle list...

Smh why are people so stupid sometimes. I swear it irritates me.

We'll see when matchmaking gets live. You do realise that if it was implemented like that, there is no difference to what we currently have..

No need to go around insulting people. I swear it irritates me. Oh well, typical internet warrior.. :lol:

[ghost-guns 1,486]

Back in the good old days all you had to do was log in and play. You could create a battle on any map you want. No daily missions either.

No need, its definitely happening, devs have confirmed it in a couple of V-logs.

Pretty sure that battle list will only be the custom/PRO battles. You will no longer be able to see any list of Standard battles

[ghost-guns 1,486]

I was on the test server earlier today... was that the match making system they were testing out? If so then I can't see myself playing this game for much longer as you can't choose the map you want to play on or who you want to play with / against... it just drops you into a random battle which is not enjoyable and removes all choice from the game.

I remember they said something about a battle list for friends though; as groups. But I find the current setup great already apart from being unable to create battles without a pro battle pass.

 

To me it looks like they screwed with something to make it look like it has to be fixed by a matchmaking system. The battle list was great with the ability to create battles no matter what and with custom titles. The current friend system fits nicely aswell. The reason that good balanced battles are hard to find is because they have increased the rank brackrts and created a seperate mission cycle in non-pro battles and hard core tankers in pro battles; deviding the types of players.

 

And now they want them to be brought back together? Lol I'd done some simple changes in the current lay-out rather than making a whole new interface. I'm sure this'll be cheaper for the business aswell.

 

I don't think the new matchmaking system will be all bad, not at all. But players will need to get used to it and there'll be the additional complaining etc. I can compare this to Twins and it's alterations. They added splash damage but created alterations to remove the splash damage. Like... wut.

Yeah, I think the introduction of the Battle button was a totally unnecessary change, everybody was happy before. After introducing that, normal battles became very unpopular, many players moved to PRO battles. So they had to force people back into normal battles through the change of the daily missions. Now the next screw up is heading our way in the form of the matchmaking system. Gotta love it..

We'll see. A major issue I see that I wouldn't want to be put into a random map and team. I know it was announced to still keep custom battles to choose from separately, but I have no doubt TO will force players into using the matchmaking system if it proves to be too unpopular.

 

All in all, it's a truly great strategy to make current players happy and attract tons of new players.. :P

[splitterpoint 10,986]

The forum's stupid quote system is busted up so I can't respond to different parts like you did there.

 

 

But I absolutely agree on what you said about the random maps one will be blindy joining. I use specific combos for specific maps.

I hope the matchmaking system will come with a filter for format and map aswell, and set the auto-process from there.

I guess if it proves to be unpopular the developers will see that it needs heavy adjusting or just plainly bringing back the battle list as main interface.

 

The core problem remains to be the Pro battle pass, the missions itself and the multing that comes with it. I understand that it is hard to fix with the current battle list + pro battles. If you'd remove the pro battles, there'll be room for abusing the mission system in private battles. On the other hand Pro battles + missions has proven to be a bad combination and is further deviding the groups of players, making it hard to find a decent battle. The continuous cycle of completing missions is sucking away the PRO battles. I've never seen so few pro battles apart from the XP format. XP's have never interested me. (unfortunately I guess)

 

So I disagree with what I've said initially, I guess this is harder to fix than I thought. or... ehhh.... well remove the missions and bring back the daily bonus (?)

This is my understanding as well.

Join a battle with wasp/rail and end up in a slug-fest map full of hammers and twins - good luck.

Or reverse... Solimansk with a Titan/Firebird.

This is basically happening already.

I have a "Super-mission" which can't be completed in Pro-Battles.

So even though I dislike supplies, guess where I'm "encouraged" to play...

Agree it's already happening to a degree, but I'm afraid it might get substantially worse than that with matchmaking in place..

[I-Hate-Druggers 192]

Whoaaaaaaaa!!!!!! I was under the impression with the matchmaking system you can create battles or basically have a pro pass? Surely it won't be a raffle to see which map you end up on, right...guys?

The details have not been announced, but the basic intention is that the system chooses the battle for you. Even if there are additional settings (like map preferences), it'll end up with the players having less choice and control over the kind of battle they enter. Given the poor changes in the battle creation system over the last few years (all taking away possibilities from the players to create/enter the battle they want at little to no added value for the players), that shouldn't surprise anybody..
