Testing of Matchmaking System on EU servers

[wolverine848 13,097]

Calm down, no need to hate anyone, there's a lot of work to be done about Matchmaking, but I actually enjoyed this test and the system seems promising.

 

One plus is that battles are less one sided than before, because new players are added when others leave, all they need is to adjust the ranks and find a way to balance ranks even when players keep leaving one team.

 

And the 10 minutes make it feel more casual. If it is hard then try to do only one mission, then go play Random Battles for free.

Not for me.

 

First battle I was placed in had 1 minute left. Just enough time to get killed by a paowered up spawn-killer.

next battle - joined half-way through and was 5-0.  Why would anyone want to join that mess?

 

At least with battle-lists I have a choice to join the losing side - if it's not out of reach and there's reasonable time left.

Not with this system.

 

10 minutes is not long enough to develop any kind of strategy. Especially when tankers are getting placed in after it already started.

OverDrive takes a while to charge up - 10 min battles give 1/3 less time for that.

i think battles are more balanced today as compared to yesterday, i haven't seen any recruits playing against legends  so far for today. just 2 problems: the ping regularly gets over 600 and how come for this battle we only had 6 players for the first 5 minutes while the enemy had 10 the whole time? i'm sure we could have won had we had 10 players for the whole 10 minutes the enemy team was soooo noob

well at least i fell the battles are balanced, some people my rank start crying the moment they get sent into a battle with legends

I do not understand the logic behind removing the missions button from the top.It should remain where it was.I dont think it would cause any issues.

 

Second, is there any solution to the problem that we cannot complete missions in battle list battles.

 

And how we will play small maps because matchmaking sends us to bigger maps only.

Yes, the servers are a bit laggy today.

1. I believe they are aware of this issue and will work to alternate it's position again.

 

2. The battle list battles are just Pro battles, so you can't complete mission in them at all.

 

3. Right now, the match-making list of maps is small, but it will progress and become bigger. Smaller maps can be playable by making a Pro battle by the create button.

.  Average is spelt as " avarage" ( "avarage waiting time")

 

Aunty just had a thought.... OUCH.. yes it hurts when I have a thought...

 

That is not a mispelling of average at all.... its for HAVE A RAGE!  AV A RAGE (chuckle) what you get to do while you wait for the next far away place with a battle in it.

Well, I tested the news updates. The very bad thing is that I can not choose the map where to play; and it's really important for me to choose it because the choice of hulls and turrets is directly in relation with the choice of the map (a small or big map)

The second thing I dislike is these no direct link to see the missions: I should end the battle to find the link to see my daily missions ;)

[BlastThis 0]

Well, seems people are taking this update well... 

I hope this is sarcasm! Anyways, I like being able to be a DRUGGER and mess up everyone's

scores or missions. I'm doing this because if Tanki doesn't care...why should I? I'll make people

hate this update more than they should because of what it is turning players into!!! Have fun!?!?

 

ERROR CODE: ID10TS (get it?)

[bozo88 450]

Outside of GuidoFawkes and the aptly named BOZO the clown, EVERYONE HATES THIS.

 

 

bozo88 not BOZO the clown. Get it right. 

 

After this update = 1 (Bozo88 will be here playing by himself)

Better than playing with you, mah homie. For someone who is supposedly a responsible adult capable of securing for themselves a position in Life, you behave like a disgruntled college student who loves to riot.

 

Stay in deep sleep developers --- R.I.P. 

 

 

Count up the exp of each side, roughly the same. I've been able to play with legends since 2nd Lt. The Majors and Captain weren't by themselves.

 

Funny I have the same feeling when I talk to them.

I'm just a reporter mod whit a fancy avatar, and I can be as stubborn in my opinion as other players.

Use cap that's make your comment even more important and robust.

Yes, but you don't agree with the mob, therefore you must, of course, be a shill and a toadie. Vilkommen to my world, comarade.

 

I have literally no idea why people are blindly hating and flaming in the Match-making topic. One of the major reasons I believe is that no one watched the video and what's more is that no one even cared for just a bit to turn on subtitles and then watch the video; like, at least try to understand what the damn match-making system is about.

 

All of you are saying the rank brackets are too large, well duh freaking DUH, if you at least cared or spared just a second of your life, clicked on the subtitles and watched the video, you'd clearly know that Semyon mentioned that this test is JUST to see how the server handles the load of the new system, NOT for testing rank brackets, times and other values.

 

Also, I'd like to mention that if a low-ranked player is invited to your group, the match-making system faults by bringing you both into the same battle with low-ranks or high-ranks; which CLEARLY brings itself to previous point: this test is JUST to see how the server handles the load of the new system, NOT for testing rank brackets, times and other values.

 

That being said, you guys need to chill and wait for the final implementation. You don't like it, simply don't "test" the match-making system. You like it, well, good.

 

People also said that battles aren't good, they're facing overpowered people; which again brings me to the previous point: if a low-ranked player is invited to your group, the match-making system faults by bringing you both into the same battle.

 

What I have said multiple times, but I'm just the bozo.

avoid marshal and up? seems like something kids or pussies would do. what i said above was actually replying to fluffy's reply to another post i made earlier where i said legends shouldn't have to fight recruits... i'm just saying that if you're too afraid to fight those stronger then you must love fighting the weak. not that i think it should happen im just saying they shold enjoy that they can do so right now

 

i remember fighting clan wars against druging m4 marshals at 2nd lieutenant...

 

 

 

 

this is me fighting a battle outnumbered and outmatched, against druging legends while never druging(you can check my profile) on 8 fps without sound. how do i do it? i started practising fighting them with m1s so now i can manage with m2s

It's not surprising you are a fan of the match-making system and it's 10 vs 10 on large map platform.

You exclusively use a mammoth-shaft combo. Having only large maps with lots of targets is bread-and-butter for your combo of choice.

 

I suspect if the changes went the other way (smaller maps/fewer tankers) you would be singing a different tune.

 

By-the-by... Mines are supplies too. They come from your garage. I guess they are handy for a camper, right?

As a mammoth you probably don't cap too many flags or capture many CPs. Put yourself in danger more often like flag-cappers and you will see your supply-use increase exponentially.

[Aunty_Entity 245]

That's a bad update, i logged in yesterday and sometimes i had to wait like 2 minutes just to join a game in addition to that i always end up playing in the same maps (barda, brest, serpuhov) witch is really annoying, will the matchmaking system cause small maps to extinct ? ( *deck9, sandbox, magadan) i think so :unsure:

 

Considering they're meant to be full 10 a side battles, they're to big for small maps like sandbox.  I don't think the maps will  become extinct but no more missions there :( Which is a shame..I'm finding the battles to crowded at times too.

Battles 5-6

DM queue

-40 second wait ~300 players in Queue

-5 second wait   ~290 players in Queue

---Taken to a game with 7 minutes left

-200 sec wait (3m20s) 260 players in Queue.

---This one was abnormally large, I can usually select a battle from the list in less time. Would be nice if I could access the garage wil in the queue

-75 second wait ~185-240 in Queue

---This was the emptiest I've seen the Queue. A counter of number of matches being played would be nice. I assume that >90% of players who aren't in the lobby are in a match.

 

General team queue

-20 seconds ~206-215 players

---Iran CP, we won because I was an aggressive freeze who took control of my team and the battle.

 

Don't really have any comments on the battles, as I, and OTHERS AS WELL (probably just mults of Hazel, ya know, because you guys are so great at determining sockpuppetry, not!) have stated that this rank bracket lunacy is going to be addressed in later development.

:excl:  Missions  :excl: 

 

I do not understand the logic behind removing the missions button from the top menu.Keeping it where it was will cause no problem but only help us to know our mission progress.

 

Second, is there any solution to the issue of completing  battles from the battle list.

 

 Thirdly, How will we play smaller maps as the matchmaking system always sends us to bigger maps ?  

 

1. I believe they are aware of this issue and will work to alternate it's position again.

THIS UPDATE IS STILL GARBAGE - I HAVE TO KEEP POSTING HERE BECAUSE THERE IS NO TANKI GAME WORTH PLAYING, WHICH I WOULD NORMALLY BE DOING RIGHT NOW. Edited August 9, 2017 by Miahak

Your matchmaking trial needs work.  I see many sessions where there is a dramatic difference in skill level and often there are long wait times to get into the session.

 

Perhaps the old method (selecting your own) combined with a filter option that blocks players with a level of play that is too broad - or balanced servers to support varying groups.

they are supplies but not drugs. and you realise bigger maps means even more lagging? using shaft means you'd be completely defenseless when your team starts getting spawn killed? i don't remember ever getting spawn killed at sandbox 4vs4 for more than 2 minutes

[One_Direction_liam 0]

the match making system is great because i get bored thinking which battle to join,but not when my friend is online and one more thing in the first day it was because of lag,but second day it is fine.

TANKI PLS dont make the MATCH MAKING SYSTEM LAGGY!

;)  :)  :rolleyes:  :angry: 

[Speedtalk 21]

What a total load of.  Waiting time totally wrong. Can be 50 t0 a 100 times longer. Can not stay in a battle. Cannot chose the battlefield. Cannot play with friends. Cannot change protection before the battle, ie I enter the battle, glance at enemies weapons, leave, prepare, reenter. Achieved daily missions, left. Did not enjoy the experience.

Terrible.

Now I have to wait to join a battle and wait ages to get in. 

I'm done.

Tanki is hardly alone in having managers/changers whose only purpose seems to be to reduce customer value.  (Just look at what has been done to newspapers or air travel!)  

 

But this update is a really grossly painted example.  In every measure it makes things worse, including in respect of its stated purposes.  Games are more mis-matched, not less.  And one of the core incentives of the building/buying process (customization) is utterly destroyed if you are thrown into random maps and battles.  ADDING a waiting time when there was none before and hiding mission info during battles are just poop icing on the cake of crap.

 

I HOPE what we are seeing here is a test run on a premature conception rather than a near-implementation shake-out.  Either way it's a fail, but the former is more forgivable.  

 

BTW, all players should be credited with two free days of misson completions.

Wasn't sure, but now I am! My condolences to the person that

started Tanki...and left it in incompetent hands!!! RIP Tanki

i agree total: let quit that mission staf and play like before.... i dont like it, no way...

[Miahak 1,596]

I wonder why they add updates that nobody really seems to want.

This update has not changed anything, you can do the same thing as before, such as, creating battle or joining any battle from the battle list. After all, the matchmaking is currently on the test, you may want to leave your feedback which will help developers to improve or change a little. :)

Another annoying update. Please revert and fire moron(s) responible for it. Thx
