Testing of Matchmaking System on EU servers

[Ishrak 932]

I wanted to know, was any kind of change made to the Osa map? On all other maps I get a good FPS even when they are full, but when I enter this map the FPS is crazy low...Anyone else experiencing this aswell?

http://prntscr.com/g5zvm4

I took this screenshot earlier, cuz I was seriously laughing at how it was stuck like that for 4-5 min until I decided to force close the client. I guess I'm not the only one.

 

Never had an fps of 1 combined with a ping of 999 before... #riposa?

please please tankionline we are not robots but your devoted players for many years.

we would like autonomy. we want to make our own choices. you are taking this away from us.

its not only me but i talked to many long time players and we all agree. we love your game. we love when you make money. we love that you have been with us since inception. but this is not the right path. we know you need to minimize the load on your servers. we know the solution and problems you face to resort to this matter, but it is taking the freedom of our choice.  you know this. we are not robots so that your technological computer will decide how long we have to wait, which map we must play in, your computer decides who we should play with or play against.  this is not what we want.  we want our own choices even if it cost you to slow down your servers.  it is us your devoted players for many years.  it is us that have been with you when your tank images were stone aged back then. it is us who stood by your growth and kept you growing and making you money.  please please tankionline at least leave us choices to make not be robots like the rest of the world. we know it is inevitable.  it is like that movie star trek with the saying, " you will be assimiliated " by the borgs... we do not want to be assimiliated. we want to be independent. i know when we all watch your youtube videos and understand how hard you guys and gals work to make the best tankionline. we know that sometimes you dont make a whole lot of money but you guys love your job and live your dream and work and do your own thing. that is what we want too for us players. we want autonomy and to make our own choices. its bad enough that we work on a job in our normal lives in the real world and we are not able to make all the choices we want because we must listen to what the company execs and middle managers tell us to do.  but in the fantasy world of tankionline we can make our own choices, play in our own maps, play with our own friends, and fight the enemies we choose.  but now you are trying to take this away from us because of corporate pressure or for simplicity.

 

please tankionline we want to continue to play and make our own choices of play.

 

thank you and hope this will be considered.

 

Sincerely,

nybblenut and tankionline friends

1.I literally had to wait almost a minute to join a battle!

2.I could'nt see my daily missions in the mid of a battle to check how much is left to complete!

3.It started lagging a lot after this update I had to lower my graphics to most basic!

4.I cannot choose the map I want to play!

5.I cannot choose the players i want to play with!

 

I dont like this update! Its very annoying! 

1. Most people take more time, they are just involved with cursing Tanki's mother to notice how long it takes.

2. Agree that sux

3. No lag for me. And I am not by any stretch of the imagination on a gaming rig. I am on a decade old laptop.

4. Well, to a certain degree you never could. Even back before the PP update when anyone could create a battle, there was no guarantee anybody would come and join your map.

5. You never could.

[Hatty1994 819]

It doesn't matter, because they will bring it back a month or so later as a permanent fixture just like they did with OD.

They might sort out the ranks issue but the main bad things will remain - no choice of maps, lag, lag and more lag.

Get used to one thing - Tanki - as you know it - is gone.

Already HTML 5 test version released in Test server, so they gonna release this Matchmaking System within this month with some improvements in lag & rank issues supported by HTML 5 software. 

 

What is going on, this is just the trailer for players about the new system as well as trailer for developers to see reaction of players

[ImAtWork 141]

To the devs, I apologize on behalf of all the rude people who are insulting you and questioning your motives. You work very hard, and you have a right to earn a salary from your hard work, just as the rest of us do. You know that you cannot make money if you don't attract a lot of people to the game, including people who enjoy playing the game for free, or nearly free. I know you are doing your best. Personally, I don't spend a lot of money on this game so I want to thank you for providing it. Even the people who complain on this forum should be a little grateful because they chose this game instead of thousands of others.

 

As for the update, I feel there are some factors which will turn a lot of people away. As is widely known, most people (certainly in the West) have short attention spans these days. People don't want to wait 3 minutes or longer for a battle. Some people will not wait even 1 minute.

 

I don't like not knowing what map I am going to. For instance, if my tank is equipped as a firebird, I don't want to land on the Highways map. People these days like to have choices.

 

I don't know why new maps are included in this update. You should seek feedback on only one or two things at a time. I have not tried all the new maps, but generally speaking, they seem to be good.

 

There may be some problems with this experimental update, especially for certain players, but it's no reason for them to get angry. It's only temporary, and you asked for feedback. You don't deserve all this rude feedback from people who obviously have anger management issues.

 

If you don't have a European or American adviser on your team who understands online gaming culture in the West, I think it would be a good idea to add such a person. Then, perhaps you would not have updates that lead to such harsh feedback. Some players, myself included, get the feeling that the devs are sort of groping in the dark with all these updates. Unfortunately, you lose some players along the way as they become frustrated and quit the game. That being said, nobody should quit the game over a two day test, and they should be respectful and polite with their feedback.

u could've made the same points without the smoke-blowing opening there

 

lots of players have made very clear itemized lists of the same problems over and over, problem is tanki only defends their updates no matter how unpopular they are

"Matchmaking System"?  Should be called "Mission-Killing System".

 

Why don't you just be honest and remove daily missions altogether.  There is no "match making" going on in here where you turn off most choices and thrust players into imbalanced games where they can be slaughtered by tankers ten ranks above theirs.

 

# STOP

Why can I do my missionz just fine?

Goodbye. Hope your someone's mult. Else go enjoy the game, M0 friend.

[ImAtWork 141]

I think TO kicked out @semyonkirov-era developers after crystal drop removal update. I observe after that update, these current developers are extremely money-hungry and doing whatever they like to do, especially that stupid bald analyst appearing in V-LOGs always thinks how to ruin this successful game. Sad state of affairs in TO game. R.I.P. 

interesting observations.  I play for free and hope tanki makes money b/c i like to keep playing for free, businesses die when profit flatlines.  I just wish they'd stop making such drastic changes and keep them when they're so clearly unpopular, and this is by far the worst since it affects user experience so sharply and abruptly

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

 

 

 

 

Freedom from choice.

 

Here's your next brilliant update Duhvelopers:  

Why don't you choose our equipment for us at random?  Totally fair since anyone could get the Fire/Wasp or the Mammoth/Shaft.

 

Random maps, random teams, random equipment...and all with long waits!  Perfect!

 

 

freedom From choice...well said :)

Exactly.  The salient point is that the Tanki game we all love is gone.

We can wait for the 48hr test to end, but that's not going to be the end of it.

This is a temporary 48hr bork, but a permanent bork is coming.

[1824494609Gamer 0]

i don't like this system .

 

[LAMBRETTAMOD 0]

PROBLEMS: 1,)Takes to long in the que/line to get to the game. 2.) I can't see a button to show my progress in the competition of the mission. 3.) The battle index button takes me to empty battles or to pro only battles. 4.) The battles I am being put into are way out of my rank. 5.) After he battle is completed I get kicked out and have to line up all over again rather than just jumping into another battle already in play-which is convenient.

Benefits: Honestly I see no benefits of the new test system as of now.

 

[epanastasi1821 80]

This is without a shadow of doubt the absolute WORST, repeat WORST update ever. I can't even begin to describe what a stupid idea this is. I want to write lots of four letter words but can't......Still I'm sure you get the idea. This ridiculous update needs consigning to the dustbin as soon as possible, preferably yesterday!!!!!

[ImAtWork 141]

Why can I do my missionz just fine, jerk?

u have to admit that it's a lot different to complete missions now.  wait times .... can't choose battle or map .... ur in a small minority if u like this update

Spare yourself the effort Velocitanker, none of the developers are reading this, only Crystal paid volunteers.

[bozo88 450]

After you brought in Overdrive, which no one wanted - but you devs didn't listen.

Now you bring this out.  Has anyone asked for it?

 

It's clear that you have a team that need to justify their salaries, so you get them to keep adding things to Tanki that no one really wants.

Maybe fix the lag issues and dropouts.  The game isn't broken, you are.

 

Whether you bring this update in or not is irrelevant.  The fact is that you constantly keep trying to wreck this game for the players.

For that reason alone I  do   not  trust  you.

 

Cya, final post.

 

-gone-

I thought you had left to go whine somewhere else?

[anuclearbomb 220]

Why can I do my missionz just fine, jerk?

Alright, I'm going to be blunt. What you are doing is escalating the situation. Someone called you a mean name, good for them, what you should do; 

Take note, they're probably mad, explain to them calmly your reasoning and tell them why you think you're right. Always be nice and never resort to name calling.

 

What YOU did: 

Don't explain anything, just state that it's easier for you, one person, and then call them a jerk.

 

If you want us to respect you, EARN IT.

Seriously, I do think this community can be a bunch of asses sometimes (Most of the time) but they are still people, and insulting them won't do anything but make them less likely to see your point.

[LittleWillie 3,199]

Apparently the way crystals are awarded to players has changed. The growth of the reward related to the score is no longer linear, it became exponential. Now a higher score means a higher cry/score ratio. Less crystals for the weak players and more crystals for the already strong ones.

 

 

so if i join a battle with big drugers them me then I will get nothing

Next to nothing. So little it is not worth your limited gaming time staying in that game. So players leave. Tanki's company spolespeople here say that is the players' fault. I say it is the inevitable player reaction to a poorly-designed game.

 

 

 

Why can I do my missionz just fine, jerk?

Because obviously your one day experience with this system was identical to the experiences of tens of thousands of people. You are indeed the Center of the Tanki Universe. Grats.

[euphonium 40]

Why can I do my missionz just fine, jerk?

Probably because you are either a dev yourself, or the brown-nosing vomit-breathed devil's advocate you have proved yourself to be over and over in this forum.  Why don't you get another hobby instead of trying so hard to stir the pudding, you ape-like, unimaginative troll.

[bozo88 450]

u have to admit that it's a lot different to complete missions now.  wait times .... can't choose battle or map .... ur in a small minority if u like this update

Yes its different, wait times are no different though, I don't care about the battle, that's just an identity, and the map really doesn't faze me, I have to adapt to what maps exist anyway for missions. I get to choose my format, and that to me is more important than map or specific battle id.

[TheBlackChick 319]

As I see it, the MM is far from perfect. Good thing they've decided to let us test it instead of introducing it right away.

The waiting time is ok. Now I wait maximum 4-5 minutes /day in the queue which is a bit less than the amount of time I was spending searching for a Fire-Wasp with places available.

Friends became of less use than before. Not nice, but at least we can create a group so the issue isn't as significant.

Teams are unbalanced. This is probably the worst thing about MM. Here is where some more work needs to be done.

The new crystal awarding formula is beneficial to me, but it is probably going to lead to more imbalance between players in the long run.

It would be also nice if we wouldn't have to press the button yet again after changing equipment.

 

Off topic: 

 

 

especially that stupid bald analyst appearing in V-LOGs always thinks how to ruin this successful game

When you see that guy (Mr. Burangulov) in the VLOG you know there are some bad news for most of the players. I really like the way he talks when he gives us the bad news  :lol:

 

 

[alexandrostzouanos 0]

guys, shall i ask who had this brilliant idea of the matchmaking?

i am trying for the past 65 minutes to enter to a single battle and it keeps throughing me out due to inactivity.

reset the server and give us the old good system.\i want to choose teh server and the battle NOT YOU.

The new system is a dissaster

Haha. You're right, I am an undercover dev, and Nelson's mult to boot. Apparently, when Maf is away the trolls do play.
