Unified Battle List and Chat channels

If devs fixed the lag and allowed us to join a battle through clicking play and and not always having to use the battle button, this whole concept is a far better option than matchmaking. And it seems to achieve what was the aim of matchmaking anyway.(no easy missions etc)

 

In other words, optimize this update, scrap matchmaking and introduce a kick system for all types of battle.

 

No need to thank me. YW.

But the chat mods keep running around just banning people for flooding when half are just trying to get noticed to give suggestions. TO has been going downhill, and if this keeps up, all the non-buyers will leave because of druggers and the buyers will stop buying because they will have nobody else to battle because all the normal players will have left.

I don't know about you, but all I've seen was things like swearing at the devs, spamming "noob update," and the like.

Is it not loading at all, or doesn't let to join battles? Any specifics would be very helpful.

I use the client.

 

I have also experienced the behavior of clicking the Play button and having nothing happen. Sometimes it works, other times it does not.

 

I also experienced the highlighted battle from the battle list rapidly changing from one battle to another without me selecting. Restarting the client seems to make that go away.

 

I have also seen issues where selecting a battle from the list does not bring up the player list in the right pane for that battle.

 

Give the developers my best. Today has to suck royally for them.

Instead of fixing basic bugs in the game and introducing new maps, weapons and hulls, you introduce this update. Surely being such a popular game, compressing all servers into 1 main server will cause lag and disruptions in joining games. This is the basics which you shouldn't be lacking in. Focus on things which bring a consumer, things which attract people rather than push them away. Tanki, you know your player base has been on the steady decline, all I can say to that is do things we want and crave for. I've been playing since 2010, i've seen the introduction of 4 new weapons in that time, that's shambolic. Don't throw away potential for your 'short term' benefit. You'll regret it.

Hi,

 

I'm not going to moan about the lags or the glitches which are no doubt, high priority for the devs right now. I'd rather moan about the fact that now we have players coming to regular battles just to complete missions - collect 10 double damage boxes for example.  Players used to disappear to the back and beyond to complete these, eu17 for example where they wouldn't stifle or impair anyone's efforts in trying to win a battle.

 

It's about time we do away with these box collection missions. It would be much better to just stick to earning crystals or acquring experience. By keeping such missions, tanki encourage this undesirable behaviour.

i didn't say you are trolling 

 

just see your crystals before and after battle it can be a bug

Not been added. But on profile only exp is being added. Free to play means why tanki will give me crystals because I haven't invested any $ in this company. LOL LOL

Hello,

 

At the moment I can't actually join any battles.

 

Please can you fix this as soon as possible or my mission chain streak will die.

 

Thank you!

 


 

Also, fix the chats. It's a huge mess right now.

Quick question, when do kits reset?

Normally every Thursday with the server update.

 

If I lose my mission chain I'm quitting TO for a while. The lag is immense. I have a laptop meant for gaming and it lags a lot. And that's putting it lightly. And @Ostrica can you put your act together and stop banning people? Like someone else said WORK ON THE DAMN GAME INSTEAD OF MAKING IT WORSE BY BANNING PEOPLE. Just sitting there typing "/ban" every second does not help you or the company at all.

The chat moderation team has nothing to do with programming or fixing any bugs, glitches, lags etc. Their job is to keep the chats decent, help players, answer their questions and so on. And that is exactly what they've been doing all day. If many players keep spamming the chat, no one can enjoy chatting and no one can answer any questions either. If many players keep writing profanity in the chat, the chat is no longer decent for all ages.

 

But the chat mods keep running around just banning people for flooding when half are just trying to get noticed to give suggestions. TO has been going downhill, and if this keeps up, all the non-buyers will leave because of druggers and the buyers will stop buying because they will have nobody else to battle because all the normal players will have left.

Players that give feedback without either using profanity, flooding ++ or something similar or encouraging others to flood, will not be banned. Without all the flood, it's far easier for the chat moderation team to notice the feedback players are giving and it will make it far easier for them to help players by passing on that feedback.

I clicked on a game that had three players on each team.  It wouldn't let me into either team.  I have a gig speed internet connection, the whole thing is lagging.  Whoever thought this was a good idea needs to be kicked in the nuts!

Could join team of 7 v 8 by clicking play constantly.

Tried joining 9 v 10 battle the same way, crash, error message. So I assume joining a battle with one remaining place is an issue.

When in battle. FPS and PING is fine for me.

Battle button works fine, although a little slow.

Strange hopping between selected battle after a while, even when I'm not pressing anything. This used to happen even b4 this update(very rarely).

Chat, Train wreck. Needs a lot more relevant channels asap.

Time to fulfill dream of my mama > Quit playing this game <


Trust me, nbody would care if you would, plus i'm sure you won't @The_Pakistani, so just stop saying you will quit when all of us know you won't.

The biggest problem with Tanki is they never consider the unintended consequences of changes to the software.  For example, the addition of crystal missions means that a player is no longer dependent on his OWN performance in a battle but the performance of his entire team.  That sounds good except for two things - people are free to choose which side to join and when to leave a battle.  Consider a TDM battle where the teams are numerically even and red leads blue 30 to 20.  In the past, you might have joined the blue team to make the battle more competitive.  Close battles are a good thing, and more fun for everyone.  Sure, you might not get the same crystals, but it could be worth it.  

 

With crystal missions, not being on the winning team probably means you have to play multiple games to complete your mission.  If you see the game above, you join the red team, not just because you get more crystals, but because you get to finish your mission in half the time.  Of course, this is less fun for everyone because the battle becomes even more lop-sided.  People on the losing team will see this and they will quit the game, making the battle even MORE uneven and even less fun.  So the unintended consequence of crystal missions is that they result in a lot of games that become "unstable", prone to one side quitting and a lot less fun for all players.

 

Any thought given to the matter would have made this immediately obvious - but Tanki does not think through the consequences of changes.  Their attitude is "READY - FIRE!...  AIM!"  It's as if they make random changes to the game and just wait to see how many people quit.

 

The unified battle list is a similar problem.  Instead of having lots of games with varying numbers of players, they are trying to cram as many people as possible into every game.  This makes even simple missions like "collect 5 speed boxes" difficult to accomplish.  It also means that noobs get stuffed into games with much higher ranking players - who simply use them for target practice.  Every game will have players who join or leave.  The idea for a successful company is to have more players joining than leaving.  But if you make it impossible for new players to compete, they will leave and Tanki won't have any growth.  It doesn't matter if you have a "noob" exception.  The fact that at some level players will be forced into battles full of much higher ranked players as a routine matter means that at some point they will encounter the same problem - and probably quit.

 

Personally, I'm only sticking around long enough to see if Tanki comes to its senses and REVERSES this code change, as happened before with that steaming pile of excrement of automatic battle matching.  When that happened, I quit playing for a few days... the first time I'd missed playing since they introduced weekly missions.  If they don't fix this mess, I will quit again.  And I won't look back.
