Testing of Matchmaking System on EU servers

[iztheman 41]

Please remember when you scroll down the list you can go back to the old format by clicking Battle List. I was really worried for a minute before I figured this out.

having to wait to join a battle I have no idea what map,

Yes and if I have Titan-Fire and I end up in BRest for example, I have to open garage with "G" before my tank becomes solid, but sometimes it takes so much time to open a freaking garage that my tank becomes solid, so when I change I get a free death... So cool.

New silence will be only for standard battle, because it is tailored for 10v10. And also because some people will always love the old one.

Bad, bad, bad... It should be a normal map named "Silence 2" or it should be at the types Windows ( when we clock Silence, we can chose " Old look, New look, Parkour, XP... Etc. ) I'm from Polish community and i came here to see if English community hates MM too... But just put the map in a place with normal ones... Just like the new map called "Yorkshire". Someone did a screenshot od it.

My god! How can puke that that come out of your brain? It's like being happy you went blind because of all the money you will save on light bulbs.

Thanks for the yellow highlight, it is much clearer. So you are a Rio fanboy hein.

Here's how:

 

1> You go into the match-making system.

2> You select a mode you want to play.

3> The teams or opponents get lined up.

4> All of these people get taken to an another interface where they can select three choices of maps: Map A, Map B, or Random Map.

 

For example, here's how match-making in games like Call of Duty works:

 

 

 

 

See the map selection interface in the bottom left corner? That's exactly what I am proposing.

 

Note: This is not my account!

 

 

 

 

5> Once votes are up, match-making system creates that map and finally send players to that map.

6> The process then repeats from point number 4. Do note that players can leave the lobby anytime they like.

Pros:

• Right now, a lot of players are complaining about them being sent to a huge map if they are short-medium map players and vice versa. With this version, you can choose your own map, well, to a limit.
• Group play is still supported.

 

Cons:

• Still doesn't give you full choice of what map you want to play, but it isn't actually that advisable to add such thing. Before the match-making system, players complained of trying out new maps instead of the usual Polygon, Noise or Silence. This has happened already, and now they're starting to say that they can't play in their favorite maps anymore. Quite contradictory, right?

And finally, I know that MM is still in development, but an idea like this could prove to be very beneficial for TO, especially when you see it's current state.

Allright. I juyst played, and I think my missions will be ok. I have 100 cry. CTF, some xp in DM, and a finish first.

 

So I click the join CTF queue.

There were 700 people, and the avg time was 24 seconds, I had to wait 68 seconds. It took me to Barda CTF, I was the highest rank, and was a little disappointed to see I wasn't in an all Majors and Lt. Cols game. The match was fine, we won 10-4, no slaughtering or anything, though there was a wee bit of spawn-killing in the middle. I had the wrong turret so only had 78 crystals. No lag.

 

Conclusion:

I spent LESS time in the queue than i would NORMALLY SPEND LOOKING for a battle. I spend between 1 and 2 minutes looking for a battle, so this was quicker. The wait will FEEL WORSE, because you aren't activly involved in cursing Tanki devs because you can't find the battle you want, and are trying to decide whether to join an "accpetable" battle, or switch servers. So to all the players who are moanin and groanin (or find less appropriate words for this server that have to do with canines) SHUT THE H3LL UP. You spend less time in the queue than you do looking for the "perfect battle".

 

2nd battle Industrial Zone CTF

55 second wait, we lost 2-4. I was the only Lt Col in the game, the match was mostly 3rd Lts and Majors spread throughout both teams.

I really love the 10 minute battle format. I can't wait to see what other maps have changed as well.

 

GOOD JOB DEVS! tune out THE HATERZ.

[jjg_the_dark 455]

I was posting yesterday and I was reading the responses from a dumb ass Press person from Tanki telling us to stop complaining because he liked the system and to offer suggestions instead of gripes.  Well, in his small mind gripes are not suggestions since we complain about things that are wrong!

Now I understand why Cedric left. I would bet good money that he knew he would have to deal with a huge backlash from the community!

 

My opinion of Hazel Rah is that he is an arrogant, clueless and mediocre developer. He may not care what I think, but the last 2 years, he managed to reduce the active players in Tanki by almost half and if this “upgrade” stays, he will probably lose a significant portion of players. Well, Mr. arrogant here are some issues with this atrocious matchmaking:

1. It takes the option to play the map I WANT! What kind of a dumb ass thought that I should be dumped in any random map?  

2. It takes over 2 minutes to get in to a battle only to join at the last few seconds!  Well, Mr. clueless, my time IS TOO VALUABLE to waste it waiting to join a battle and at the tail end of it none the less!

3. When the battle is over, I do not have the option to continue playing so I can complete my mission.  So, I have to endure another 2 min of wait time only to be dumped again at the tail end of a battle! Go figure that one out!

4. Mr. Clueless thought that it would be very enjoyable to pit Legends vs second lieutenants!  Yeap, I really enjoy matching my M1’s and M2’s to fully MUed M3!

5.  The lag is increasing instead of decreasing!  Seems to be that Tanki does not have enough bandwidth or backend resources to handle the “upgrades” I enjoy seeing ping of 700 and FPS dropping down to 3!  After all I am only on a 150 Mbit connection with Dual Xeon processors and a discrete NVDIA graphics card!

6. I cannot see the progress of my missions! Who thought it was a good idea to remove the Mission button from the battles? Probably someone with a very low IQ like a tanki developer.

 

However, I also found One good thing!  The new variations of the maps are very good and make the game much more interesting than the atrocious matchmaking.

 

Pardon my sarcasm and name calling, but as a player I had enough of this "features" that no one asked!

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

 It should be a normal map named "Silence 2"

I agrre, I want to see the new Silence, the new Polygon. So I joined some pro battles map but it's only old ones. There should be Polygon 2, Silence 2 and so on.

 

So far with MM system, I never ended up in new Silence or new Polygon. Lame.

[Viking4s 10,791]

Yes they could. All it silence 10 ( as for 10 vs 10).

Sorry but Yorkshire is not new, this is the lay out of the happy new year map. It is nice, but more intresting in xp/bp.it

I have to be honest and say I really don't like this update....it's confusing and i much prefer to see all the battles in a list at first glance. It also doesn't seem to be helping the distribution as hardly any of the battles have more than 3 or 4 players in them per team....which for some maps is not enough. The waiting times for the custom battles are annoying as I usually only play a game quickly when I have a break. 

[grumpykitty 0]

I just saw a sergent fighting with a marshal in the same battle. can you guess who wins? if there is a team match we can see the winner from the verry begining. Ive waited 3 mins to join a dm battle. BTW, what happens if the players can not do their missions today ? the chain is lost or you ll ignore this because of the beta testing?

[Firestone 2]

Thanks to this update there is huge lag now, and took me 2 hours just to do my mission now. Oh, and plus check this out..... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0XbN1deYyXLT291TDRfRjNBamc/view.

Hey Bozo, your name describes you perfectly! Read my post above why we complain. But then again you like to be told where and how long to play rather than choose for yourself!

Terrible update - I DONT LIKE IT AT ALL.

My first account was GENREED years ago and this takes away all the selection process of the player.

I use to love playing the BERLIN map but that went away. SAD - because I like this game but getting tire of it.

Lag has just gotten worst and worst, as well as bugs. Your testing lacks real life computer speeds I bet. I am always hearing problems with processing speed and play. Sorry to have to tell you these things but its the truth.

I believe your trying to improve the game but the more you add the worst it gets. I believe you are getting code heavy and need to skinny down the code (as well as the graphics and features).

 

Again I am not trying to be mean just tell what I see.

[Gen.Destruction 2]

I really do not like this update. Dumped into a complete unbalance game.   

 

THIS SUCKS!

Testing is for finding the right recipe. Many MMO games use it. It's true it nice before to choose the map, but we all know that 2 map nwere always chosen (boring polygons and Rio), so were is the fun in that? Now you will be able to at more map = variety = fun.

 

Well, if people like choice and you give them less choice, then "where is the fun in that"?

 

Now I could be plunked in a map I don't like at all. again - "where is the fun in that"?

 

The "match-making" algorithm really needs an overhaul - the battles are highly uneven. 16 Legends, 2 Gismos and 2 Field Marshals... blech.

I've seen screen-shots of even worse, but will take me forever to complete missions if I'm bottom 4 rank every battle.

I feel sorry for Majors fighting Legends. At least before they could evaluate competition before joining.

[sonabir 0]

I am from India. I played this game every day. The previous battle listing was good, depend upon mission I can able to choose game, but now its very confusing, I don't have all the day to stick with this game, and currently I don't know if I am after the daily mission, when it will finish. Please revert  the changes, find some other algorithm, this match making is not good for new players. And every server has a lots of Russian guys, they speak in Russian, in 2013 -14-15 I enjoyed this game and have a lots of friends, but now may be TO is only for Russia, not for other countries..
