Testing of Matchmaking System on EU servers

[Viking6583 0]

The Matching System SUCKS!  I have little time to play and now I have to guess and wait and I end up getting placed with guys that out rank and power me.

 

Takes twice as long to complete missions.

 

This is the worst and if implemented I will for sure quit playing this game because it will be a waste of time and money! 

[OKDad70 862]

I realized something: My give-a-damn broke!

 

It fell off, and I don't even wonder where it went.

 

BTW, it sure seems the devs lost their give-a-damns too.

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

Not when they get replaced by 3rd Lts, Which has happened consistently for me.

it's better than nothing, no one ever joins losing teams. and i think it's just bad luck if it always happens to you i don't think it's supposed to be like that

 

On a highways? I play withe legends all the time. I play with legends in other maps like lost temple too. You see, once I get into a polygon or something smaller, I'm not going to win against m4 titans. However against m3 titans or similar I stand a chance. I play with shaft hornet, I am a target because people hate me.

i do pretty well in polygon, yesterday i got a k/d of 2.18... not so good but... we're talking about a map where you could keep having firebirds spawn right beside you. i can't play lost temple i always lag way too much whenever i enter that map. I wonder why you're so hated

[hj608 3]

i really dont like this update honstly ... iahte it cuz i have like 2 or 3 hours to paly tanki every day BUTwith this update I cant join even one battle ... all the time waiting for 3 ..4 ..4.5 min with out joining any battle ... so i didnt play to finish my mission and im in the middle of the 3rd week , really its the 1st day and I returned to the first of the3rd week cuz the update .

SO.. I'm asking for any help to fix it and do I have to re-finishing the week again from the start ... its NOT FAIR ​

AND  I saw in the main chat so many low ranks tankers complaining about  HOW TO M1 AND M0 PLAY WITH M3 AND M4 !!!!

IS IT REALY ??????

I do, I always do it's my hard mode, it also gives people who need help more help.

​That's legitimately impressive, I however, play on CPs and other team battles because DMs are boring and easy. Capping a point in a polygon CP with hornet is hard enough.

Because I am competent.

Awful.   1 minute 30 to join a hopeless battle against Legends, with my WO4 account.  

 

Tanki developers need to give us more freedom, not less, more fun, not less.  More options (new maps anyone?) not less.  

 

Pretty stupid all around.   

 

I remember when there was 100,000 on the servers, lots of battles on every map.   

 

Currently looking into some other tank/war MMO game.

I must wait more than 1 MINUTES to play, in old system, i can play immidiately. Very bad system, more update, more bad. I cant chose the map i want to play, and WAIT. Please use old system, play not wait, and chose the map i want.

It is take me many time to wait, system!!!!!!!

[QuantumKnight 0]

I like the way the PRO battles work right now, but i don't like the way you have to wait to enter non-PRO battles

[QuantumKnight 0]

i agree with TreadHead.

[QuantumKnight 0]

The waiting is truly horrible.

[Germanwarrior1 16]

I'm starting to get worried about the decline in the number of players, they need to turn things around fast if they want the game to survive.

[devilndizguyz 7]

Regardless which play button I click I can't enter any game regardless of how long I wait. I'm not alone with this issue.

How do I enter the map I want, not one assigned?

How can I enter a specific game with specific people?

How can I create a new game?

Why restrict players (clients) from playing what they want when they want?

[Gleannbo1 0]

I like the previous format.

 

Мне нравится предыдущий формат

 

I like how the matches are full on new format but would like to choose courses. I do not see the tankists that I have seen a lot.

 

Мне нравится, как матчи полный на новый формат, но хотели бы выбрать курсы. Я не вижу танкистам, которые я видел много

 

I like choosing courses and love tanki.

 

Мне нравится, выбор курсов и любовь танки.

 

And yes I am using google translate...Why couldn't Hillary? Peregruzka anyone?

 

И да, я использую google перевести... Почему не мог Хиллари? перегрузка кто-нибудь?

I shall now list what I find wrong with this update and the prospect of the update:

 

1. The fact that players cannot see what battle friends are in and have the choice to join them or not.

2. The Group function is complicated and useless.

3. The fact that the changes to maps only apply to non-pro battles.

4. The fact that you can no longer choose what match you want to play in.

5. The fact that after you are put into a match you like you cannot click continue.

6. The fact that a match is 10 mins long.

7. It took me up to 7 mins to get into a match tonight and when I got in there was only 3 mins left in the match.

8. You are no longer notified when you complete a mission.

9. You cannot check progress on a mission when in battle.

 

Now I shall list recommendations:

 

1. Keep the usual tanki not the crappy update.

2. If you want to use a match making system my suggestion is that you take how the match making system works and you set it to make a list of recommended matches for the player when they log on after server update but still give them the choice whether or not they want to use recommended matches that are based on rank, equipment and missions, or if they want to chose the battle from the battle list.

3. Make the changes to maps be available in non and pro battles.

4. Create new format battles like Striker+Viking VS Striker+Hunter for example.

5. If you want to keep non pro battles full, remove the auto finish function from non pro battles. OR give the team which has less players the choice, whether they want to continue playing or whether they want it to stop.  This would give time for people to join matches.

6. Play the game with real life players.  And experience first hand what your irresponsible decisions do.

7. Create a voting system so that in the future you suggest multiple options and let players VOTE to decide which  option they prefer.

 

 

And my most important advice to you is this.  Keep the game simple and be honest to yourself. Ask yourself the question. "What are our true intentions?".  Then after looking into yourselves decide what you want to do.  Do not become liars who seek to deceives people and hide behind noble intentions "Making the game simpler". This update does not make anything simple. It has made things much more complex.

 

And further more take your heads out of your ______ (fill in the black). Do not think that because you are a developer that the gamers don't know what is best for the game. We play the game everyday. And remember, democracy is important not dictatorship.

The wait period should be based on rank.

[TNT.C4 0]

Update... I played again tonight since this is a test. This is not working because in the battle I was in, there were 2 Staff Sargents, and 1 Leiutenant Colonel. This does not work. Please do not add this feature permanently to the game. 

[ImAtWork 141]

The wait period should be based on rank.

there should be ZERO wait

[ivanthemostlysane 0]

Like the premise, don't like the implementation.

 

Takes too long to join a game (my average wait is close to 2 minutes), only stay in for one round, can't pick the map you want to complete missions on.  No longer allowing you to collect missions in-game, no notification of mission complete.

 

I do like that you can now create your own instance without a pro pass.  But basically that brings you back to the "old old" method, before whatever system is in place aside from this test.

 

 

 

[QuantumKnight 0]

in other words, i don't like the new matchmaking system. <_<

[bozo88 450]

Seconded! - bozo, get you tongue out of tanki's backside and admit you are wrong.

 

 

ho hum....you don't give up do you? Still trying to defend it.....haven't you noticed it's about 50 to against this update, maybe even more. You and bozo (who, it seems, either works for tanki or has escaped from somewhere) need to except that you are WRONG WRONG WRONG, and this update is pants and belongs in the dustbin of history. By the way the reason I'm posting SO SO much is because I CAN'T PLAY THE GAME AT THE MOMENT - ITS NOT A GAME THAT PEOPLE WANT TO PLAY AS IT IS NOW - isn't that just a little clue how angry I am with this idiocy - not to mention frustrated with your recalcitrance!

 

 

 

 

I am not a commie and I live in the USA, BOZO! and yes I will insult you because you are just as dumb and arrogant as the tanki developers.  To show you how dumb you are, you are asking me fro a link to my post and you already have quoted it with the snark comment "see a shrink before you explode". I will not explode and I do not need a shrink just because I gave a very comprehensive feedback on a very bad update.  To show also how dumb you are you are doubting someone and they shut you up pretty good with a picture! So, you like this atrocity and an overwhelming majority is against it. Deal with it! The fact remains that Tanki, in the 2 years that I have been playing, managed to decrease the players to 30,000 max per day while it used to be over 70,000! Now they do not reach that number even on a holiday with some insane sales! Pretty soon it will be left the likes of you and the developers to play the game because the rest of us will move on since our choices are been taken away. Is it hard to understand the concept of "freedom of choice"?

Bla bla bla. Apparently its freedom of speech for people who agree with you, else they are brainless noobs who brown nose the administration. LOL LOL. Ad hominems and silliness abound. And at least I won't have to play with the immature.

 

I would like to volunteer bozo88 for your test drive! I don't think there's enough

living brain cells left to justify bozo88's day to day life and it would be the

humane thing to do!!! (probably wouldn't feel a thing!)

I'd love to take that Bug for a spin, I'll be using a HANS instead of bicycle helmet. And MHB, when you get off your Denver weed, I'll report you to the mods for violence.

[G.O.D.L.Y 0]

This is a decent update but really Tanki Online needs to let us play and stop updating but this update stops people from playing from friends. One good thing i liked was that it put me in a fair equal battle most of the time  :unsure:  ;) also the wait time is too long but decent i personaly like the old list 

[skuyzy 695]

Omg the AVARAGE wait time is only 25 seconds for this TEAM DEATCHMATCH battle

I agree :) I think they should bring back the old mode, with only the battle list. Edited August 9, 2017 by anthon232

[General 9]

what about the changes on maps ? where is it ?? 

[devilndizguyz 7]

OK... I've finally given up.

It seems like with each update the game gets more restrictive so player (client) options are limited. As a software developer with paying clients, and I use the word clients because that's what we are the moment we buy crystals, it seems like the designers have gone out of their way to make game play much more difficult and pretty much unbearable.

When you have this many clients unhappy you will soon be out of business. When your software becomes increasingly user UNFRIENDLY and no longer enjoyable you will soon be out of business. Sorry for the critical post but the designers and analysts coming up with these mods need to re-evaluate the direction they are heading. I understand that the mods are driven from a business perspective to increase revenues and I fully understand the need for increased revenues. In my experience when you loose clients the small increase in revenues from the remaining clients usually leaves you with a revenue deficit from which you can't recover. Once the negative posts hit the internet there is no way to reverse the dramatic end result.

I have been a member for many years and now finding it impossible to play a game I truly enjoyed.
