Testing of Matchmaking System on EU servers

[anuclearbomb 220]

that's not my problem as long as my team is strong :P

Until it isn't, and you get stuck with a bad team.

Tankers!

With tomorrow’s server restart, we’ll be implementing a test version of the Matchmaking System on all EU servers.

The test is intended to run for 48 hours, till 02:00 UTC on Thursday 10th. However, developers might decide to end the test earlier if it causes any kind of undesirable effect on the game.

The reason the test is being run on the main EU servers instead of just the test server, is that we would like to see how it performs with a real server load and player distribution, rather than in the controlled environment of a test server.

Watch the video below to learn more about the test:

Don’t forget to share your feedback in the forum!

P.S. The test will be carried out exclusively on EU servers, and will not be run on US servers.

what good is this ???????????????? ihave spent a lot of money in this game now it is crap will be back in two days when this is all over

Apparently the way crystals are awarded to players has changed. The growth of the reward related to the score is no longer linear, it became exponential. Now a higher score means a higher cry/score ratio. Less crystals for the weak players and more crystals for the already strong ones.

so if i join a battle with big drugers them me then I will get nothing

The addition of matchmaking to Tanki X has completely ruined that game to where it is unplayable now. An already small player base has just gotten smaller because of the frustration over no longer being able to choose which battles you want to join.

 

Joining any match of your choosing in the battle list has always been one of the best aspects of Tanki and if it is taken away expect the game to really stumble even further as players leave for other games.

 

Everyone must oppose matchmaking if you really enjoy this game. Otherwise be prepared to spend eternity joining and quitting and joining and quitting matches just to play the maps you used to play.

You play tanki for it's variety of good maps do you? Like Canyon and Monte Carlo? Dusseldorf and Berlin? Lost Temple? Island?

If you get one of those ^ in matchmaker, then maybe I'll warm up to it.

Not all the 73 of them, thanks Albert.

Even some are not good at all. I like team map, so chuck out island (for power leveler).

I like desert, lost temple, Berlin, solikmans (original) subways, Monte Carlo, death track. Hwy, courage,.... Not canyon, it's too cramped. And lately barad and bridges, you would never had a game on those before the battle button.

Courage, Deathtrack, Monte Carlo, Subways, etc aren't in the matchmaking system. So what are you talking about? You have two, maybe three maps you like in the matchmaking system. How does that INCREASE the chance you have of finding a good match in a map you like? What about all those people who like the old Rio and the old polygon? Those were good maps, and now they're only in pro battles. 

 

Also, how many maps are actually in the matchmaking system anyway?

Game unplayable, lag and ping appalling lack of choice of battles and no choice in fair competition all in all a disaster I hope all your loyal followers get 10,000cry for putting up with this incompetence.    Another useless downdate from the Tanki Team 

[DESOLATIONofSMAUG 0]

It's awfull. I lost a lot of time to get into the game. And it's all a crap. I want to play in Old Tanki, like as a few years ago.

[Melodies 11]

THX a lot for the new system and perfectly balanced battles, thank you you stole us the choice and freedom, there is all fun gone: I don´t need to win, just to spend time with friends and at places by my own. After all time I spent here this is the deadly strike for the game...

I was posting yesterday and I was reading the responses from a dumb ass Press person from Tanki telling us to stop complaining because he liked the system and to offer suggestions instead of gripes.  Well, in his small mind gripes are not suggestions since we complain about things that are wrong!

Now I understand why Cedric left. I would bet good money that he knew he would have to deal with a huge backlash from the community!

 

My opinion of Hazel Rah is that he is an arrogant, clueless and mediocre developer. He may not care what I think, but the last 2 years, he managed to reduce the active players in Tanki by almost half and if this “upgrade” stays, he will probably lose a significant portion of players. Well, Mr. arrogant here are some issues with this atrocious matchmaking:

1. It takes the option to play the map I WANT! What kind of a dumb ass thought that I should be dumped in any random map?  

2. It takes over 2 minutes to get in to a battle only to join at the last few seconds!  Well, Mr. clueless, my time IS TOO VALUABLE to waste it waiting to join a battle and at the tail end of it none the less!

3. When the battle is over, I do not have the option to continue playing so I can complete my mission.  So, I have to endure another 2 min of wait time only to be dumped again at the tail end of a battle! Go figure that one out!

4. Mr. Clueless thought that it would be very enjoyable to pit Legends vs second lieutenants!  Yeap, I really enjoy matching my M1’s and M2’s to fully MUed M3!

5.  The lag is increasing instead of decreasing!  Seems to be that Tanki does not have enough bandwidth or backend resources to handle the “upgrades” I enjoy seeing ping of 700 and FPS dropping down to 3!  After all I am only on a 150 Mbit connection with Dual Xeon processors and a discrete NVDIA graphics card!

6. I cannot see the progress of my missions! Who thought it was a good idea to remove the Mission button from the battles? Probably someone with a very low IQ like a tanki developer.

 

However, I also found One good thing!  The new variations of the maps are very good and make the game much more interesting than the atrocious matchmaking.

 

Pardon my sarcasm and name calling, but as a player I had enough of this "features" that no one asked!

 

Jeez. Call a shrink before you explode.

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?

I highly highly highly doubt you saw a Sarge (<50Kexp) fighting a Marshal (~1mil exp). Either you got the ranks wrong or you're smokin that herb. Pics or it didn't happen.

 

 

 

 

 

Hey Bozo, your name describes you perfectly! Read my post above why we complain. But then again you like to be told where and how long to play rather than choose for yourself!

Gimme a link to your post, I ain't searching 60 pages for it. And next time, don't insult me, commie.

I think i can, be a buyer/drugger, you get all the fund, be normal player, no fund for you.

winners get the majority of the fund divided by their score.

[TheBlackChick 319]

so if i join a battle with big drugers them me then I will get nothing

Sadly, yes. If there are people who are more skilled then you, or drug more, or both your reward will be lower.

There's still 1 good news: custom battles seem to work the same way as before

[LittleWillie 3,199]

This is the best post on the topic and it is likely to remain the best post on the topic. 

 

Yes this matchmaking system is a patchwork attempt on the root cause: Tanki's payout system. Think about it. There wouldn't even be a daily rewards system invented if the normal payout system worked. The Daily  Missions feature is also a patchwork attempt on the same root cause.: the lack of sustainable income from battle rewards.

 

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.

I am not really excited about this new update, at all. First I waited good 3 minutes to find a match i.imgur.com/JSnxtOV.png and after that I got thrown into a battle where the other players are WAY above my rank. There even was somebody with 3 diamonds lmao i.imgur.com/o3OYsSs.png
I know I'm smurfing, but this is unacceptable...                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Please, do not keep this as a thing. Tanki is meant to be played casually, you just join a random battle you feel like playing, and not wait multiple minutes to find a match like in League of Legends, Overwatch or whatever competitive game. This actually really kills the fun for me.
