Testing of Matchmaking System on EU servers

[Tajfun403 31]

This is a joke, yea? M0 versus drugged M4? 0,2 FPS? 5 minutes waiting and legends versus generals? This is one big defeat.

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

Allright. I juyst played, and I think my missions will be ok. I have 100 cry. CTF, some xp in DM, and a finish first.

 

So I click the join CTF queue.

There were 700 people, and the avg time was 24 seconds, I had to wait 68 seconds. It took me to Barda CTF, I was the highest rank, and was a little disappointed to see I wasn't in an all Majors and Lt. Cols game. The match was fine, we won 10-4, no slaughtering or anything, though there was a wee bit of spawn-killing in the middle. I had the wrong turret so only had 78 crystals. No lag.

 

Conclusion:

I spent LESS time in the queue than i would NORMALLY SPEND LOOKING for a battle. I spend between 1 and 2 minutes looking for a battle, so this was quicker. The wait will FEEL WORSE, because you aren't activly involved in cursing Tanki devs because you can't find the battle you want, and are trying to decide whether to join an "accpetable" battle, or switch servers. So to all the players who are moanin and groanin (or find less appropriate words for this server that have to do with canines) SHUT THE H3LL UP. You spend less time in the queue than you do looking for the "perfect battle".

 

2nd battle Industrial Zone CTF

55 second wait, we lost 2-4. I was the only Lt Col in the game, the match was mostly 3rd Lts and Majors spread throughout both teams.

I really love the 10 minute battle format. I can't wait to see what other maps have changed as well.

 

GOOD JOB DEVS! tune out THE HATERZ.

the only problem is more mults at ctf... they made it such that the higher your position on your team the more crystals you get per point; so everyone starts multing me to steal the flag so they can cap it themselves.

 

but other than that i agree this could be the best update in tanki history ever! :)

[Cure 138]

Not good update  at all .. we are here to play with our friends .. and now we can't play a normal battle with them and we can't invite them !!

and what's the point if we play with low ranks ?? it's not fair for them or for us 

This update gonna make lots of tankers leave this game ..

 

.. i can't wait until this 48h end to back to the normal system .. 

[Boeing747-800plane 6]

I just saw a sergent fighting with a marshal in the same battle. can you guess who wins? if there is a team match we can see the winner from the verry begining. Ive waited 3 mins to join a dm battle. BTW, what happens if the players can not do their missions today ? the chain is lost or you ll ignore this because of the beta testing?

so true. I was in a battle where a warrant officer 4 is being trolled and slaughtered by a Legend level 5

This is the worst update yet. If the developers implement this sucky system i am not going to be happy. The ranks are way off and makes the battle extremely unfair. I like the freedom to choose which games i want to play and which maps i want to play in. It took me several tries to ever get into a game and when i did get in it lagged really bad. This is a bad update and it should not be used.

[Chiechitar 5]

matchmaking system makes unbalanced battles. ook at this

See ?

[cb_rider 17]

​​​this has got to be the worst update ever in 3 battles I played I vanished and reappeared some where else on the map and the lag

 is out this world to long getting into a battle like 10 minutes cant check yah mission status in tell the battles over bad bad bad update please do not keep this :(

So I just came bk to tanki a week ago and this happens???...I personally dont like it..I WAS having fun with the non pro massacre and a new fav map novel...now I cannot CHOOSE want I WANT to play in???...and i did try the matchmaking thing tbh its not good..having low ranks those after private cant remember what they are but in these maps is terrible..and I must say i seem to almost always end up on the losing team in this thing.Also put the missions back in the old spot..now when im in a non pro battle i cannot tell if my mission is completed or not...maybe I will quit tanki again now..I was wanting to come back but now...Idk

[Viking4s 10,791]

Well, if people like choice and you give them less choice, then "where is the fun in that"?

 

Now I could be plunked in a map I don't like at all. again - "where is the fun in that"?

 

The "match-making" algorithm really needs an overhaul - the battles are highly uneven. 16 Legends, 2 Gismos and 2 Field Marshals... blech.

I've seen screen-shots of even worse, but will take me forever to complete missions if I'm bottom 4 rank every battle.

I feel sorry for Majors fighting Legends. At least before they could evaluate competition before joining.

Have you played other game? They do not have choice of map either.

I played this rank and lower rank, today, and I end up were I should have been. Except one game were bother team had 7 legend and I finished on the bottom of the score board. If I would select game with my rank being the highest then I would be a coward.

Anyway, the ranking range is not optimised, you would expect dev to improve it, don't you? I would.

Some of the screen shot with very low ranks are people trying to cheat/push the boundaries of the system (they use the group option to find new ways to mult).

That's what the test is for.

[Mr.Benza 0]

I hate this update, all battles are full of m4 legends with m4 prot, my friends dont like it either. It cost also a long time to get in a battle

:(  -_-  -_-

[Chiechitar 5]

Matchmaking system MAKES UNBALANCED BATTLES!!!!

LOOK AT THIS LEGEND TEAM (blue)

[I3lank 27]

seriously iam waiting to get this dumb update over soon, if i play with my friends ,its no point in playing ,if this update stays i may hav to leave tanki 

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

I played Tanki all day today with several different ranked accounts.  My conclusion is that the Matchmaking system is not the problem.  The problem is the reward system does not match the Matchmaking system.

 

The easy and obvious fix for the vast majority of current woes of Tanki and Players of Tanki would be to let Daily Missions be done in the free createable Battle List Section or in the Matchmaking Section...both.  99% of the thousand and more rants on this thread would be solved in one easy adjustment.  

 

The not so easy fix would be to do away with Daily Missions altogether since they are the biggest cause of anguish and replace them with some other in-game sort of income source.  

 

Another very sticky point is how battle funds are distributed now.  It is grossly unfair to the losing team and lower placed players.  It worked when players could create their own game but it doesn't work with matchmaking...it engenders anger.  Players who stay the course of a game on the losing side need to be rewarded.  The hog on the winning side that pops repair kit after repair kit should not see 50% of the entire battle fund even though he has killed twice as many tanks as the number two player on the winning side.  Lower placed player need to have much higher rewards or, as matchmaking continues, losing team members will just quit and games will fall apart completley for both sides. 

 

Matchmaking has some positive aspects, but is only marginally workable with the current reward system.

By far the worst update ever!!!!!!!! First time I've login to say this only. I think I'm done here and WITH TANKIONLINE

[mixalis98 16]

Sometimes waiting for up to 4 mins to join a battle for 10 mins!!! You are getting closer and closer with every new update to reach your objective target and make us leave! keep it up!

Allright. I juyst played, and I think my missions will be ok. I have 100 cry. CTF, some xp in DM, and a finish first.

GOOD JOB DEVS! tune out THE HATERZ.

Is there even the remotest possibility that your experience with match-making so far is different from what many, many, many of the other posters so far has experienced?

 

Just a possibility?

 

Guess it's not so bad when you're highest rank is it?

10-4, with no slaughtering... well - except for that "spawn-killing in the middle".  LMAO.

 

Post again here when you have 16 others who are Legend rank in your battle.

[Wild_Chicken 2]

It's good so far, but we should definitely just have Normal Battles in the battle list so we don't have to do missions in the Matchmaking system only.

[BigApplle 0]

I must say this a big step the wrong way. I do not want to play a random map as there are way too many to learn, and I do want to have the choice to change gear and return to the battle. Now player has no power to choose. I really do not understand what you guys at tanki are trying to do. You are making the game a lot less attractive with this change. Honestly, I hate it.

[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.

[Chill.Out 286]

This is very bad update .... M4 Vs M0 , M1 , M2? ... Nice -_-

[Anomander_Rake 0]

Is this your idea of a sick joke? Warrant officer and generals with M4 Legends? Are you crazy or what? The matchmaking is lame to say the least. Too much wait time and if I cannot choose what maps I want to play in then where is the fun? Stop this madness rightaway I demand it as a paying player who has been sinking in hundreds of dollars a month..... or else say bye bye to my $$

[ChemDawg4Thunder 0]

I have a quick question, did your developers/programmers

see the following error when they loaded the update?

Error Code: ID10TS

 

Nuff said!!! I'm going to play WarThunder

and World of Tanks!!!

"...other game" = Tanki-X?

 

Yes, I have played it - ranked up about 15 times or so. 

After the most recent update I'm done with Tanki-X for now.  Will re-visit it in 3-4 months to see if they revert their ridiculous "Deserter" rules.
