Testing of Matchmaking System on EU servers

[nate170 0]

I dont really like this matchmaking. It takes forever, and i dont like that i cant pick my own battle locations. Only thing i do like is the new updated maps. They look great. Keep that but PLEASE return tanki to how it was before.

very very very baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad update

[Yorg_the_cool 16]

I don't like the new Matchmaking System. The old system gave me very good control over where and against whom I played. The new system gives me no such control. I end up in battles on the wrong map, against the wrong opponents and/or with the wrong team. On top of this, the new system adds a one to two minute wait every time I do a battle (a battle that is really short). With all the new waiting the intensity of Tank is way, way down.

 

With the old system, I had a battle list and was free to navigate those battles as I saw fit. With the new system, I can enter one preference and after that 'Big Brother' decides where I should play. My player satisfaction is down so much that for the first time in years, I am considering looking at other games.

 

There must be other ways you can solve whatever problems you were trying to solve with the new system.  Please consider any of those instead of forcing the new system on us for standard battles. I have enjoyed and approved of most changes or additions you have made to Tanki in the past. However, this time you have mad fundamental changes that ruin my enjoyment of the game.

 

Specific problems:

1) The wait mustn't be longer than 15 to 30 seconds. A one to two minute penalty every time you do a battle is insufferable.

2) With different friends and different equipment, I usually want to play on only two or three maps. The old system let me do this.  The new doesn't.

3) Frequently I know the map I want to play on, and I am open to play either CTF or CP. I could do this with the old system, but not with the new.

4) With the old system, it was easy to have different friends join in on battles. No setup was necessary. With different friends, you just had to agree on the server and then look for battles where there was room for the group to play.

5) Once I, or my friends and I, find a battle we like, we want to be able to say in longer past the end of a 'battle period'. The old system let us do this. Finding a great battle and staying there for a couple of hours was one of the great joys of the old Tanki. Please don't take that away!

6) Once you introduced the daily missions, they rapidly became a favorite pastime for most tankers. Over time, we have learned that certain maps are good for certain missions: Polygon for experience and crystals, HIghways or Brest for supplies etc. I shouldn't play on Siege CP if I need to find repair kits etc. If my mission is about experience, I don't mind being on the loosing side, but if my mission is about a lot of crystals, I mind terribly. The new system doesn't reward this learning. It actually insults it because I know right away that I am in a lousy position to make progress on a mission when I am sent to an 'inappropriate' battle. Still, because the wait for another battle is so long and the new battle could be wrong too, I frequently don't leave but suffer through the battle hoping for an unlikely outcome.

7) I don't like that you removed mission feedback from inside a battle. I get no feedback when I finished a mission, I can't check my progress and I can't even remind myself of what exactly a mission was without leaving the battle!

8) Most of what I have complained about is not a problem if I did PRO Battles. However, once missions could only be finished in standard battles, I rarely play PRO Battles anymore. If I play with friends, it is almost always the case that at least one of them has a mission to complete. Also, I have several accounts myself and finishing the missions for all of them is a significant daily time commitment.

9) When I try to understand why Tanki seems willing to so destructively alter the game, the only reason I can fathom is that someone in Tanki leadership is deeply offended that some people are teaming up helping friends finish difficult missions. While this may be unfair to others, it is also something that fosters friendship and collaboration in the Tanki community. I don't think it really hurts anyone and I believe it makes the game more popular with some. Rich players probably don't care. They can afford to buy the extra crystals. Less affluent players, however, most likely rely on the missions to keep up when the equipment becomes more and more expensive.

10) I really worry that the new Matchmaking system will lower the experience so much for so many players that they leave or play significantly less. Tanki as a game has always had a significant amount of wait built in through a slow log on and battle initiation process combined with a somewhat temperamental plugin. When you add the significant new wait introduced by the new Matchmaking system, the play to wait ratio may become unbearably low.

So I guess I join the majority when i express my dislike for this new MM system.

Aside from the obvious ones about not knowing where i am going to be battling (equipment choice) and not being told when my missions are done until after the battle and the obvious waiting time inaccuracy and length the actual concept of the MM system does not seem to be working.

 

Out of the half dozen or so battles i have done only 1 has been a good close game the rest all very one sided.

I also still seem to be  coming up against much higher ranks a lot of the time.

 

In general I'm not sure this update actually solves or adds anything to the game - yes the battles are initially full until everyone sees the map and doesn't like it so leaves or starts losing and leaves.

 

The only positive is that i can create a battle again without the pro pass but no one joins because they are trying to complete missions.

 

All this will no doubt fall on deaf ears as have the rest of complaints about game updates that destroy the very nature of tanki.

 

Tanki knows it is on to a loser and the only way to make money is to create a necessity for drugs but rather than try and fix this inherent problem they keep throwing more junk at us and herding us to where they want us to be.

 

Poor show again guys - you truly do not understand the concept of customer support and respect.

i dont like the new update

 

i cant choose place to play and y cant choose when stars

 

too many times i enter into a game when it ends.....

[Guest Maserati]

My opinion

 

I personally find it quite annoying that I have to each time, to click Battle list - mainly because I prefer seeing the list of battles and having the freedom to choose what I wish to play. :D And, I really hope, that you can see non pro battles in the battle list. (Though I doubt this will happen, it seems beneficial in my opinion).

 

But, one amazing thing of this "test" was the idea of Groups. I find it quite fun to be able to join a battle with your friends at the same time, in the same team and play. It would be quite interesting to have this in the game, and I look forward to seeing it in the future hopefully. :)

"Avarage waiting time"

[Demonwolf 25]

This game is going more worse after every updates.

 

I really wonder what you think when you do updates like this matchmaking is?

 

Players cant play  with friends.

You make us choose only 4 friends what we can invite to same battle to play together, what we should say those friends who we cant invite to the battle??  any idea???  Should we say them go........????

 

Friends can not invite you to help in battle  if needed help.

 

You can not choose what map you play on that matchmaking system. Even that Tanki want players playing different maps  players don't like all maps.

 

Is this matchmaking updates purpose to break the guy relations and clans?

 

Tanki makes players play against their friends.   Why?  This is gonna destroy friend relations. ( because Tanki dev's don't have friends so other cant have them either?)

 

I also wondering what   Tanki think when your new matchmaking system makes  legends rank players play against recruit rank players ????

 

Small rank player  get frustrated because is so hard to kill legend rank players  but legend rank players love doing  kill missions or play dm games.

 

Players  get frustrated  this  updates  other team can have their side all players on legend rank and other teams get  many low rank players so how this is fair?

 

If you really want more players here then START TO LISTENING TO THE PLAYERS. And what they want.

 

This may surprise you all there but if you did not know this  so players are those those who pay your wages so listening them.

 

Do not  make this update permanent.

Use battle list. You can create pro battles for free, on any maps you want, and play with your friends. I don't know how so many players are overlooking this option.

We really do not like this update.  The lagg is terrible.  You are subject to too much randomness in which most of the time, you are placed in a battle with way to high level people who crush you.  It takes the selective element out of which map you like  to play.  Also, you can't play with your friends in the same battle.  It takes a lot long to get into battles then only to find out you are out numbers and out gunned.  Not fun....Battles dont end early it seems.  This matchmaking is not good.  Let us do that....it wasn't broken by putting a range of ranks, maybe make the range smaller....but please go back to the old way...  

[Intrappen 0]

Also, it takes way too long to get in and battle....average time my butt..... It doesn't live up to what the vision is.....no matches that were worth it in two days.....
