Testing of Matchmaking System on EU servers

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

So let's recap all the bad things I have experienced so far.

 

- Waiting time is too long to join a battle.

- We can't see the progress of missions when we are in a battle.

- When we return to the lobby, we don't have the red star to tell us that missions are completed.

- More lags

- Battles only last 10 minutes, after that the battle ends. So if we join a map we like, we can't enjoy it very long.

- Battles only last 10 minutes, it is ridiculoulsy short.

- More lags.

- More mults and sabotage.

- One sided battles. I have won battles with big gap in score and lost battles with big gap in score.

- More lags.

 

And recap the good things now.

 

- I'm sorry, I am trying hard to find a good thing to say about this, but I can't find one.

They Wanted Feedback so im giving them that. So tell me one thing are you guys trying to make this game better or worse?

[check_12 9]

I'm sure the developers are proud of this change, but this is the worst change I have ever seen.  Please cancel this test, and consider it a FAIL  and go back to the drawing board.

 

Main criticisms are:  takes way too long to enter a battle, no predictability what map you will land on, battles I join are 95% legend rank, no real time feedback if you have completed a mission.  Also, were missions such as "earn experience on such-and-such map" gone?  I cannot choose what map to play on, so I guess that type of mission is gone.

 

If I were director of software there, I would abandon this update.  Roll it back, and hold on the release for a good while of improvements in usability and UX.

 

The upside, maybe, is the Friends link can still potentially bring you to specific battles you might want to join.  But, it is a bit inconsistent to hide the servers.   Hope this helps!

WORST UPDATE EVER I WISH TO CHOSE MY OWN MATCH AND NOT THIS MATCHMAKING. DEAR TANKI ONLINE PLEASE REMOVE IT :angry:

[RedRose 371]

Too much ppl crying

I don't understand how you hate this update. The maps are good, the battles are good, and it's all fair.

The ppl hating this update only hate cuz they have to skill in normal maps. Atleast try to get better instead of complaing

[apollo1570 0]

yes the maps are nice, but the MM system is trash.  I wont re-list the problems that so many have itemized already in this thread, but they're many. 

 

fair?  fair??? wt* does "fair" have to do with it?  gameplay is trashed.

[FailArmyGT 210]

Developers, understand that this matchmaking system must be improved.

All players are protesting #RemoveStupidUpdates.

 

IF U WANNA THAT MM-SYSTEM MUST BE IMPLEMENTED THEN IMPROVE IT!!!!!!!!

This match making thing is bad  because if i press the DM random battle i get thrown into a Legend rank battle which i get my ass kicked because people have like m4 or m3 turrets and hulls i get out geared sooooo badly.   Missions are so hard to finish and i don't have a clan or that many friends so i can't get a Group.  PLEASE remove THIS match making thing.  it's trash

[bes146 281]

I am having lots of lag issues since the test began.  My framerate is less than half of what it normally is.  The wait time to join battles is also very annoying.  So is the fact that it puts me in battles way above my rank (Im a major, getting legend battles, which seems unfair).  I am also seeing some texture glitches that weren't present before.  Most importantly, for whatever reason, the 'Daily Missions' button has disappeared from my screen and I can no longer access missions.

see dat the top of the list the missions button was put there

[toe_cutter 4]

The wait for battles in Match Making are too long.  I also like to pick my battle.  If I have a rail turret I go to play on maps that I like versus waiting a long time and ending up on some map I hate.  With overdrive, then this, I think I will be playing a lot less Tanki

[Panther756 39]

Result of day 1:

• As assumed a disgusting playground for notorious drug-addicts lacking any skills 
• Far too often allocation to extremely weak teams
• Waiting times unacceptable
• Third party decides what a player can do being unacceptable, too

That is not good at all and as a good number of those chat comments I read support, this my opinion is shared by many.

[tanker.Spanker 0]

this is probably the worst update tanki has ever made

played since 2011 and can't remember anything worse

 

Replacing upgrade of specific features of equipment like speed/damage with bundle-only upgrade was also very bad.

 

Deciding to penalise self-damaging turret users (like thunder) by subtracting kills was also very bad

 

Forcing end of match because it seems that a the "outcome" was predictable was also very bad.

 

I have been playing for over 5 years - I can go on

[maalik1223 0]

i dislike the update because:

1)i cant pick the maps i want  

2)it takes 2 minutes in the waiting lists

3)when we finish the battle why does it say it will automatically end 

4)once you start the game it has so much lag

5)Why cant I do my missions in pro battle?

6) Battles only last 10 minutes, after that the battle ends. So if we join a map we like, we can't enjoy it very long.

7)When i enter the battle there are higher ranked players on the other side and on my team there are lowered rank players.

 

developers plz fix this

OK, I tried to play it a bit more.  I have a finish 1st mission open. Six games in a row dumped me into a game already underway. Finish 1st in a 10 way game is no gimmie. Starting late makes it nearly impossible. 

 

-----

 

Played a game on my favorite map Massacre. Looks they screwed that one up. But how will I know? After a few minutes I was booted out and at teh mercy of the randomizer. FUTO.

 

So we have this "matchmaker" that hamstrings your choices on missions. But want to play a no-drugs custom game? It's back to changing servers, clicking on each battle. looking at ranks, setting, blowouts,,, click after click tedium. 

 

Matchmaking is needed to find all these custom games with all the various settings the way you want them.  But MM does nothing to help you there. Where MM is NOT needed, basic games, that is where players are now forced to use it.  

 

All this stuff the player base hates and for what reason? Because some players were actually able to finish theur missions. Good Lord above we know how we can't allow players to complete missions in a timely manner. They must be forced to labor long times for those rewards.  So we will make it hard and annoying to do missions. Players will not earn as many Supplies. As a result they will love TO and spend much more money with us to buy Supplies. Because that is teh first rule of business: piss off your customers and they will reward you for doing so.

This game is a far cry from the SKILL BASED game I joined long ago, Now, skill means nothing in this game.

[AbdulMoizSarwar 11]

PLEASE ! do something . i cant open my garage in lobby ! how do i change equipments ?

 

i got a clan war but my garage didnt opened and we lost .

 

that was unfair .

 

do anything ! but please i want my garage back ;(

 

                                                                             Thanks !

 

                                                                             Regards : AbdulMoizSarwar

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

So, I go to battle list, then I check the map I want to join, I go to garage, I change my equipment, and when I click to battle, it gets me to the match making lobby.
 
Make this system remember what I clicked, no? Once I finished my mission, I don't want to play with the match making again. I just want to play pro battles, where I can CHOOSE the map I want and don't play with or vs Captains (no offence to them). So yeah, let me in the battle list and If I ever want to go back to the match making lobby, I will click Back...

This update is just plain wrong.

 

How could anyone think that this would be a good idea?

 

The developers/designers do not play the game

[dan73fx 0]

please stopped this testing

[laforge2 0]

I find it nothing at all

If this stay so, i'm going

EASY for you to say, i wonder what you would say if you were my rank I.  You probably have good gear to even fight Legend ranks or like Marshall rank.  For lower rankers like me i have m2 hulls and turrets to fight nearly >m4<  turrets and hulls.   i press the DM, CTF, TDM, CP button and i get thrown into a battle against all the nearly max rank players and i get out geared sooooo badly.  No matter how good your skill is, you can't beat a opponent with nearly three times as much firepower and health than you. Of what i just WHAT PART OF THIS IS FAIR 

[Destruction180_2.0 0]

what i hate this and i have so much lag, also its really annoying because i feel sometimes more confident on one map over another, and freaking its annoying, and the old way was much better, just about everyone I've talked to hates this new update, I'm sorry, but this was not a good idea

[Bobbywhee 0]

please stopped this testing

They said two days of testing.

List of good updates and bad

Good, Smart cooldowns with supplies, and repair kit. List of bad updates? Adding kits into the game, seperating protection from paints,  overdrive, penalizing self destruct was bad, this,  forcing end of match. and replacing upgrade of specific features of tanks was bad, nerfing isidas self healing, and then eventually removing it, was bad, adding magnum, vulcan, and hammer was pretty dumb, as all these turrets are extremely powerful as compared to the original turrets. making all m3s unlock at marshall was bad, and removing missions in "pro battle" was bad. Honestly, tanki is pretty terrible these days, hardly fun any more. Lets see, 2 good updates, and 14 bad updates, ( off the top of my head.) Tanki should remove garage supplies entirely.,
