Testing of Matchmaking System on EU servers

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

TO should work out a change fully before letting the players suffer it. No surprise here, the same mistake has been made for many previous updates. Get it out half-working with many obvious problems, with maybe some (but not all) issues getting sorted later.

 

Even when just considering ranks, matchmaking fails to achieve even rank distribution in the teams in many occasions (don't think it's only caused by the battlegroup feature).

 

One of the worst thing they could do, would be to develop it completely, release it, and never take it back.

It is way more clever to work it out, check if it's stable and work as intended as far as they got, and have a time limited test run.

 

Then they simply shut it down again, and improve it with the feedback they got.

Thanks for the hint on the rank distribution, I did not face that in any of the battles I've been in. I'll give it another try tomorrow.

ok restart

prepare battle 1 min.. ok game

first time new system... :-(

this is nooo tanki online, this disaster

[xXx_PRO_MAN_xXx4 4]

A realy good way to atract people into tanki is by making it FUN! A few ways to make it more fun:

 

1: more turrets. (adds even more variety to the game)

 

2: 1 or 2 more daily missions (new missions like: ”win 2 team battles” or ”win a CP battle” and the most specific missions are better rewarded)

 

3: New maps. (it makes the game more fun and practical because we have to learn the new mas and hiding spots. And you can remove some of the unplayed maps to add the new ones)

 

4: The posibility of choosing more filtres. 

 

5: The old Gold boxes. (with 2,3,4,5K cry. It makes the gold more important because some of us dont give a crap when gold dropes.)

 

6: Remove the PRO pass and PRO battles. Because all battles are battles not ”regular” battles or ”PRO” battles

 

7: More cry to first 3 in a battle. (makes the player fight more for its position, which makes the game more fun)

 

8: More battle formats. Not the only 4: DM, TDM, CTF, CP. (adds more variety to the game and makes it FAR more fun)

 

9: A ”sniping” mode for magnum.

@all of you complainers:

 

Yes, I agree in part, not all of this system test is good or well-thought out:

(1) some of the daily missions, like capture 3 flags, or get XP on this-and-this map, are hardly realistic in the new mode

(2) yes, I have been in noob battles today, with teams of 1 Legend (me) and all much lower ranks against teams of +6 legends

(3) yes, I want to choose my own maps instead of being directed without choice

(4) yes, I want daily missions back for pro battles

(5) yes, I evenb want the old days crystal drops back in the game

 

But waiting times are not that bad at all...I have done about 20 games today, and none of the waitint times was more than 1 minute

But you are now passively waiting one minute - at least whereas before this dispicable DOWNgrade we would  be actively spending some time on searching for our favourite map(s) and possibly befriended players.

The buttons do not work, the tank does not move

[Eskimo1973 27]

We players have written on and on about how stupid this update is for SIXTY FOUR FORUM PAGES. Let's hope these developers REVERT IT.

Let's hope they read and understand this... But I severly doubt that...

This is a terrible change to the game.  Too long waiting time to get into a battle, no choice of who your enemy is going to be, no ability to monitor mission status in the battle are only three of a number of problems.  The system should be called MIS-matching system because it appears to be a slim random chance that a player will enter a battle commensurate with their ability and equipment capability.  This change should not be tolerated for even the 48 hour test period.  Certainly, it is not something many people want to play indefinitely.     

[meir1 55]

tanki is only concerned about making full battles, which is really dumb becuase i would rather be in a 2 vs 2 battle with people my rank and a map i like instead of a 10 vs 10 battle against people 10 ranks above me in a map i dont like.

stop stop...

Suspend the chain otherwise we lose the advancement for the bonus

[model205 7]

Hahahahahaha! They didn't see that coming! (They probably don't even understand the irony!) Hate to see enthusiasts go but I'll follow you any of these days.

ok, BlackWasp777

Matchmaking System in tanki

In TankiX the new system has made me lose patience and do not play anymore

 

tanki online is good,

but today noooo, open the game.. this system = TankiX = disaster

 

Ok I try to play the same

my system crash 1, 2, 3, 4 times rebut internet site tankionline 5 times.. ok good

 

I could not even play a game

Strange, mine didn't crash a single time. But ok.. it rarely crashes at all.

Try the standalone flash player, it works like a charm.

 

 

Bad things:

Can't chose the map,

Do not consider the efficiency of the battle,

You can not choose the server for the battle,

You can not choose the battle mode,

Too long to load the battle,

You can find teams with 90% too qualified for your level...

 

Proposals:

Before it was much better

Decrease the amount of players for games with big game layouts

When the server starts to have 70% of the load it does not give you access

 

Good things:

0

Why do you like to pick the server to play in? It does not matter..why does it matter to you? it seems to have a queue that cummulates all players that hit that matchmaking button, and sends them to which server ever is next to host a battle.

This also distributes the load: most servers were low, but equally loaded when I checked the load graphs in the server selection (unprecise, but ok for a quick glance)

And you can pick the battle mode (DM, CP, CTF, DM).

 

The other things you write about are true, and need real improvement;

except for the amount of players on a map. The smaller your teamsize, the more likely you are to play with less players for more time and the more troubles you have if one leaves (and you wait for the next to load the battle).

The large amount of players is here on purpose.

bad wording, sorry. It's late here..

[sugar-and-spice 59]

well, I would normally play another couple of hours.....but now I have finished my missions, they can stick this game where the sun doesn't shine, until they get rid of this insane update.

Matchmaking  what a load of crap worst thing Tanki ever did ,having to wait to get  into game then when you get in its the wrong levels fighting. Give me a call when you sort this mess out I am quitting until it is ....

This is another bad change that developers are making. One of a whole line of bad changes. It looks to me that they are making these changes just to have something to do. STOP DEVELOPING THIS GAME ANY FURTHER! Or at least HIRE SOMEBODY who is creative, and know what he is doing.

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

Put simply, Tanki should never have implemented - let alone even think of designing - this DOWNgrade. My disappointment with Tanki grew each day but after this DOWNgrade I think they have reached my limit.

 

Let's see if they are smart enough to create an english and seperate russian speaking server system where the player can decide what map to play, fairly balanced. This would technically be easy to apply, and it would attract players.

 

It was already proposed to take the country of origin into account in the algorithm that matches players.

This allows to match them by language.

There is no need to split the server system, as this would lead to more inbalance.. except they craft a dynamic split, which would work.

restar another

And really .. as you can say, scouting

Dear Tanki Developers,

I respect you and your work. But I think you ate your brain.

Why are you killing my lovely Tanki? What a stuuuupid development is that?

With this development:

1- Why I can not choose the map?

2- Must I play against to Generallisimos and Legends? I can't choose my opponents and their ranks. Why not?

3- Why I can not see my daily missions on Garage view?

4- How can I complete daily missions without choosing map etc....?

 

Please don't kill this nice game...

FUBAR

ONLINE

[Auhsoj1 68]

I think it would be okay if I could join a battle at the beginning, but it never loads, except when the battle is already started and nearly over. Plus, I joined a battle where I went against brigadiers and maybe even higher. That's 10 RANKS higher than me. Plus, there are no gold drops ever. UGH!

[meir1 55]

this doesnt have much do do with it, but after playing on the changed polygon i wanted to make a battle and look at it more so i know how it looks, where the flags are etc but when i made a battle it was just like the old polygon, and its very hard to see how a map looks like when u r constantly being killed by m4s when u r m2.

[toti68 11]

Please I want to choose the map to play and how many times to continue playing and I do not want to be catapulted in maps that I do not like or do not fit my weapons...

grazie! :angry: :angry: :angry:

Why don't you give up defending the indefensible blackwasp....this update is suicide for tanki.....instead of defending it,do something useful and tell the devs to get rid of it.
