Testing of Matchmaking System on EU servers

[ImAtWork 141]

The good, thought out complaints are buried beneath the bad meaningless ones. It's hard to find them.

people saying something as simple as "this is terrible" should be taken with consideration too.  Not everyone's as articulate as you, oh great one

Feedback as such can't be taken into consideration because it simply isn't meaningful. The devs need to know what exactly people dislike about the system to try and improve it.

Guys, this feature is still in development, and we are currently testing it. Before you guys go against something, test everything. Tell ups and downs. Only then we can make it better

I've been here for several years and so I don't need to "test everything" to know I don't like it. This is a just a really bad update for the reasons that others have given, and so do us a favor and get over your Pollyanna selves.   

[I_Destroyed_U 0]

That's a really bad idea to put that test as a permanent update cuz i was waiting for 5 mins with my clan to join a game in quick battle, we never joined 1 -_-. Some times the button play for all the mods are lagged ( It isn't appening to only me ). And the teams are really unfair ( when i finaly joined a game ) i joined a game full of legends -_-. 

 

 

 

That would be the suckest update in the game, and Tanki will loose a bunch of player only with that update. 

 

 

 

So plz don't change it for that Matchmaking system. And u should put back the En, Ru, Pl and add a Fr server. 

[00110010 12]

Your New Matchmaking system does not work, my son just got done fulfilling his missions for the day and I watched him played newbies (recruits), complete rookie players, it was completely unfair play (he's a warrant officer).  

 

I told him to take mercy on the newbies and don't kill them because it was clear they didn't belong in the game.

 

Plus, there were warrant officers-3 in this same game; what kind of match making system is this?

 

I'm replying to your new update for my son, I can tell you that this update sucks for these reasons:

 

*You can't check the status of your mission in the game

*You can't pick your game - (do your 'devs' miss the USSR? - Do they like taking the freedoms out of your player's hands? - because that is what your new system does - it takes away a player's (user) freedom of play - nobody likes to be dictated into a game)

*You can't choose games your friends are playing

*The games are unfair (un-Matchmaking)

*Nobody likes to wait to play

*You can't change servers on the normal screen

*Your 'Battle list choice' at the bottom of the Matchmaking system only lets you into Pro-Play

 

If you keep this system, which I would advise you not too, but if you do, make the Battlelist button, a default into the old system.   But mark my words, if you do decide to do this, you will find that EVERYONE uses the Battlelist default, because this new system sucks and both my son and I hate it.

 

Lastly, I'll say this, you guys seem to like your jobs and you are doing something that few other people get to do for a living, but if you keep this awful update, you're going to find yourselves out of a job because with updates like this you will be literally driving your users away.  Including my son and his friends.

this is so dumb. please oh please I beg put it back...  and BTW I learnt sooo much from that russian video explaining it... :huh:  :angry:

then you and the mods get out your GD notepad and pencil and start taking notes, b/c people been listing them out line item ever since the SU, including 001100010 above

Tried it and I hate it!

 

While I realise that it is still in development the matchmaking is hardly working correctly - come up against too weak or too strong opponents almost every time.

 

I prefered being able to see matches of all kinds with which and how many players are in them as well as being able to move from one server to the next, but this removes "choice" from me the player.

Often times similarly ranked players are way more upgraded than others due to the ability to spend actual money to buy crystals where some only gain by playing and completing missions. It is no fun being obliterated without a chance - I prefer equal challenging matches.

 

Also, you have moved the missions tab from the top bar, which sometimes is handy to refer back to during a match so leave it there.

 

Another issue is that I can't choose what map I play on - am I missing something or is it just that dumb?

 

Yeah and the video..... :wacko: ....it's great if you can understand Russian?

 

 

Thx

[railguniz4noobz 2,394]

Rank brackets should be changed.

Theyve been changed alright, now its m0 vs m4.

Up until now I've been replying to people and forwarding meaningful posts onto the CM. Should I not do that? It only made sense to me. Either way, it's getting late, so I'm off. Hope you're happy with no replies for a few hours.

[OKDad70 862]

I sure hope the devs pay attention. There seem to be many heart-felt, thoughtful comments.

 

As a legend with a fully upgraded set of my chosen equipment, I'm okay there. I never have adequate protection module, but that has been since the 12th turret was introduced.

 

The wait times are sad. I can get over that, though. It will take some getting used to, but if it helps the game, I can live with it. However, the match making is sad right now. Legend battles were almost entirely Legend. Now? Heck I've seen Majors in with Legends so far.

 

I tried with Ricosck, an M2 rig. (Fully upgraded Boar Kit. It was decent, but not against Legends.) I tried, but this system isn't working. I know I was only one of very many who were pushing for release of the MM, but this wasn't ready. If this is anything like what you are hoping for, then I have lost all hope.

 

I had high hopes. Now I am just wondering if I should bother at all.

 

I'm down to only this account. Ricosck is retired as are my other four specialized accounts (which I retired after The Great Leveling last October).

 

The MM isn't working. Short battles are not much fun. That reset-thing it does after a few seconds, is that the battle restarting? Was I left in because I'd been in so short? If 10 minute battles are the norm now, I'm not happy.

 

Overall, the game is totally frustrating at the moment. The map changes are a very significant frustration.

 

As I stated before, that is dumb. It totally defeats the purpose of a test of the MM. The different maps make for instant disorientation. I doubt I'm the only legend who has every map practically memorized. I have my favorite maps absolutely memorize. I can generally drive backwards and not miss the turns. Now? Crap!

 

The maps are different enough to mess up standard strategies and tactics. These are skills I have developed with much effort and honed to precision. They are gone.

 

Tanki, you have repeatedly taken away my skills and made me start over. I can relearn my skills by starting over at the lowest rank. I find it only frustrating to have to start over with my fully upgraded equipment at this rank. Worse, you force it on me. I can either start relearning my strategies and tactics, starting over with trial and error, or I can quit. Damn close to quit.

 

I keep saying it. I assume it is tiring. I keep hoping you will improve things so I don't. There has been a steady decline in the game, a steady decline in fun, but also a steady increase of frustration. I'm not yet willing to give up. I figure I can outlast one more trial of the MM, but this one was an absolute fail. Absolute crap!

 

I cannot see how midranks are still playing.

hi all

never mind tanki online but this system is very strange

click on the battle u want to play then wait for 2 to 4 mins

my request to tanki online that pls make the game right back what it was in past yeterday

 

[ImAtWork 141]

if this passed muster on the test server then the system of testing on the test server is flawed

[A-U-R-O-R-A 9]

The major problem with this update, is the battle list has plummeted completely. It's because unless the game is in it's few peek hours, this system doesn't work. People waiting for a long time in queue, only to give up. The normal time i come on, the average list is about 15-20 battles, sometimes more, sometimes less, but not as bad as today, there was 4. This update feels more like a way to get rid of the players in the off peek hours, or perhaps a good way to kill the game all together. Personal opinion, this system is complete trash and it seems TO never listens to it's community. So far everyone i have talked to and seen in all the chat servers, completely hates this update.

[LittleWillie 3,199]

Someone's gotta be on the losing side in a 5 minute battle. That was the problem before, everyone had a choice, and no one joined a losing team. It made battles extremely useless.

Wow. Blame the players mode.

 

Why do players avoid losing teams? Because the rules of the game make playing on a losing team a waste time from one's precious limited lifespan, is why. In 10 minutes on a good winning team I can make as much exp and Cry as in a solid hours on losing teams. This is the fault of the game design not the players who play by the game's rules.

 

The effective solution to this is to re-design the game so members of losing teams have something, something, to possibly earn from playing. But that sort of solution requires talent. The Tanki method in contrast is to force players to take whatever the Matchmaking system decides to give you. That is the method unimaginative people turn to.

 

Lag is always an issue with new releases. Should be resolved.

 

Don't play DM, play TDM, there's a button for that. 3 flags with Mammoth isn't an issue with the MM system. Whether the system is here or not makes no diff. Collecting 7 boxes can be done in one battle, but usually two. Even then, so what? You can't play 2 battles?

Hey nothing to see here no problems! Have trouble doing DM missions? Hell just play TDM. Who cares that makes no sense? What is important is to answer every observation and complaint with "that's not a problem!"

 

Who cares how long it takes to finish your mission. We don't. What does your private life count? Just keep playing Tanki until your missions are done. No problem.

 

You can choose which map you want to play on, just not if you're looking to complete your Missions. You can play regular battles the whole day if you like, just Missions will need to bed done in these battles. It's possible, and if you feel it's too hard to complete a certain mission in a particular map, exit the map and re-enter.

 

The ranks are a problem, which should be fixed.

 

Rank brackets should be changed.

Why in th e hell would I play Tanki "all day". That would lead to me gaining dreaded exp points and that is the last thing a mid-rank Tanki player wants. Once again: your game your rules your results. All I play is Missions. But hell, once again that's not a problem. Just play non-mission battles sez you.

 

You say you are not affiliated with the game but you also way you wiil "pass on" comments to the devs? Funny sort of non-affiliation. Well I don't know what your role is in theTanki Online company. All I do know for sure is what I see. And what I see you saying  "no need to complain that is not a problem" to EVERYTHING.

 

You are not fooling anyone. Deal straight with us. What is your affiliation with the company?

[sherman11 0]

You can still choose a battle...

 

Daily missions cannot be completed in these battles.  That is the whole point behind this!

[OKDad70 862]

Guys, this feature is still in development, and we are currently testing it. Before you guys go against something, test everything. Tell ups and downs. Only then we can make it better.

There are no ups. This is a crap system so far. Nothing good to even speculate about.

[gangstachel42 0]

It seems as if the purpose of the new system is to eradicate small battles.  It the process of doing so, all ability to choose specific battles (and to get real time updates on missions) was lost.

 

The wait with the new system was annoying.  I waited on average for over a minute to join a battle.  Several times I waited for over a minute before I saw the loading screen but I never entered a battle -- the loading screen just disappeared and I was back where I started.  The bigger problem was that I usually ended up in battles I didn't like.  With the old system, I could check out what my battle options where.  With the new system, no such luck.

 

With the old system, I could scan the servers for battles on my favorite maps. I can't do that with the new system.  (I have several accounts and I need to play standard battles to get enough mission credit to all my accounts.)

 

The end result: I spent more than half my time tonight waiting and the other half playing battles I didn't really enjoy.

 

Smaller changes have in the past cased me to give up on a game.

 

Please don't try to fix the new system.  Just remove it!

I don't mind tanki making money, it allows me to keep playing for free, I just wish they had the balls to tell us the truth, which is that they're moving towards tanki being a pay-only game
