I know it is just restarting, but I have never seen 1660 players minutes after server restart.

In Deathmatch mode, unlike in team battle modes, everything depends on you. The battle fund grows a lot faster than in CTFs and TDMs, as you don’t need to go to a certain position to find enemies; they are everywhere. On most maps, you can open fire right from your spawn point. Deathmatch is the simplest and most reliable battle mode when it comes to earning crystals. The battle can be limited by either time or number of kills (frags). Each frag gives exactly 10 points.

Deathmatch is the only battle mode where you are allowed to form alliances with opponent players. In other game modes "teaming" with players from the other team can result in a ban from the game.

 

 

I read this in the wiki when i started this game so i thought that we were supposed to do it, i never saw it as an exploit.

 

Thank you for that. I never read that.

 

Well here is the thing. There is no way for Tanki to stop teaming up in DM. To they have tacitly approved of it. However to my way of thinking it is and always will be an exploit.

 

It should be pretty obvious that three tanks against one is not fair gaming. These "teams" are invisible; other tankers have not way of knowing who is teaming together. Teaming tanks get the same reward as solo tanks but they have a lot easier time of it.  And so on and so on. All of these things say "exploit".

 

Now if Tanki had a mode that allowed tanks to ally-up in the fight using an in-game command, and that was displayed in the score screen, if allied tanks were identified to other player by some sort of icon or color code, if scoring was affected by how many tanks were in a team ... then that would be cool.  But DM does none of these things.  

 

When you can you should. You need to make friend.

Nah. Teaming is just one of the reasons to not play DM.

Teaming up in DM is not fair for players that don't team up.

 

It exploits the freedom that DM gives you. Just because it is allowed doesn't mean you should do it.

I think part of the challenge of DM is to be able to find teams to defeat other teams. and this is more challenging than in other game modes because of frieldly fire, no isida healing, no sharing of overdrive, your mines could kill your ally, you don't spawn on the same side as he does and so on.

 

while you can easily get a good k/d on DM by teaming, it isn't actually very profitable. my clan teams on dm but we generally prefer not to have any allies in a battle. reasons are simple: for each ally it means 1 less person to kill. dm is all about stealing kills, so that also means the easy kills will be divided among the people in your team. fund distribution is also based on number of kills, so if you manage to get more kills than your friend you're actually causing him to get a lower proportion of the fund relative to his kills. in general my clan just occupies dm battles for fun, but when we need exp for the gold box mission or when we want to make as much crystals as possible we join a dm alone.

 

3 against 1 isn't fair, yes, but what's stopping anyone from being part of a team. you don't need to be a buyer to form a team. yes, you can't see who's teaming with who but it'd be the same when you team up with 4 other people and gang up against the top player in that battle.

 

i also like lying about forming alliance with someone and then i kill him. then i apologise and say it was a mistake and then i kill him again.

lol, I like your humor but it doesn't really help. Who was in Apollo team, I guess it was stan.

I don't know which team was Hate (the cow girl?). The name of team (when any) in the OP is not the same in the live stream. Even during the stream only few name were used (only stan, he is probably really famous :) ). Like who was the jumper, or the assist, there previous experience. Some people have bad quality internet (especially today) and could not make out the name of the participant so once in a while just say a name. Just request for improvement for next time.

That makes sense, they did try to mention the team members though: https://youtu.be/XZl5uE9RiXE?t=56m46s :lol:

This Halloween was great for me.

Thanks You for making  great Event.

[tankboemboem 63]

Halloween was longer (the battle map) this time and that was fun. Thanks for that. But the daily problems with the game were too frustrating. All the time game in and out, in and out....Re-enter

Statusbar Loading forever.

Unbelievable that you can not solve this.

 

Maybe change this game to "Re-Enter Battle" game. Fits better

As I said nothing can be done from having players exploit FM through acts you describe. But that is not gaming. Gaming means doing better than the others within the commonly observed rules. Otherwise it is not a test of one's own mettle.

 

Most payers go into DM reagy to play every tank of itself.  Others go in intending to exploit the rules and "win" outside the commonly accepted rules. it's fun to do that? Not for me. I'm a gamer.

This is the Halloween celebration topic, screenshots of players enjoying the event are welcome here.

Best gold week. 47 caught this week.

Thx. But still mildly annoyed about x10 lags.

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

71 for me this week, + 6 Pumpkins last week, 77 in total. And 133k funds made this week.

 

A shame x10 was on thursday. A shame there were too much lags. Graves in the middle on the map should also be removed so laggers and hackers dictators can't use them :D

 

But yeah, a nice event in the end. I will kinda miss the atmosphere of the map, but I will not miss the map itself.

 

I hope a better celebration for Christmas. Aka no lags, the same map as 2016 with x2 Golds, and the map stays for 15 or 20 days :P

What's stopping anyone is that majority (95%?) of players go to DM for individual combat.

The few "teams" that form ruin that battle-mode.

 

It is not much different from fire-wasp farming.  Both are exploits. But diff is Devs have gone out of their way to prevent fire-wasp power-leveling.

 not 2x golds, but 5x golds only on this map, that's way better for me ;)

and also special missions with golds (hopefully)

a new map, i don't want the same map, something special XD

and the map should be created by players and not only in dm mode ;)

this is my gift from u guys at the new year :D

 

hopefully u will see my message and think.

:unsure:  :unsure:
