Episode 165 of the V-LOG is now live!

[Ninja 10,468]

Will mobile players play alongside PC players?

Yes.

[jimboe2 35]

The match making did not work the last time, it was lousy. Every time the v-log is shown it seems that there always is a new person.

Except for that Hazel guy that needs a hair cut.

This game is really getting out of control. But that is what they want, to control. Comrade.

[LUCIFER1_the_dark 1,230]

Yes.

TO devs will realise one day, how they rigged their own game, lost experienced players and a huge economy just for some bunch of kids, who play mobile games like COC.

 

I mean they are screwing the gameplay for something vague, it's like self destructing n finding that u spawed miles away from the gold drop zone, n ended up screwing ur battle.

[jjg_the_dark 455]

Hazel does not need a haircut! He needs an attitude adjustment or better yet he needs to be shown the door because as a game designer he is just plain clueless! As a developer, he is just incompetent.

Oh, and if you're going to allow tank platoons to form up before going into a matchmaking battle... please pit them against each other.

 

These groups will be the best-coordinated among the tankers in the battle. It would be grossly unfair in a 10v10 CTF to have 2 platoons on one site talking on Skype about threats and where to set up Isidas on the flag return path, with a randomly-selected group on the other. The platoons will have same-language cohesion, increased communication bandwidth, and will be able to talk and move at the same time. These sound like force multipliers to me.

 

Besides, the ability to form ad hoc platoons is awesome, and feels like a "next level" of play. It follows, though, that those users will have a "next level" advantage above the randomly-selected players, so the feature needs to have a counter-weight.

Hazel

sir if you need to complain about tanki staff best place to send them to https://alternativa.games/en/ his boss is the one to complain too ..

[caiosilvac 567]

Mobile version should be well optimized (especially the controls) or mobile players will ruin battles. if many PC users don't turn their turrets (legends included) can you imagine the kind of mults that will play on mobile...

[r_UNPKO0 7]

I am confused. Could someone tell me:

 

After Matchmaking system is introduced to the non pro battle matches (aka regular battles):

 

1) Can we choose map to play? (My computer cannot handle large maps. I don't want my computer got hanged frequently because of being assigned to large maps)

2) Can we choose game mode to play? (This affect the completion of daily missions)

3) Can we join battle with friends already playing there without being invited (now, we can look up the battle list to see is there any friend playing, if yes we can join that battle to fight with / help them) ?

4) Can we ask (invite) friends to play the battle that we are playing ?

[Darkest 158]

Will there be a gravestone in Perm for this game?

 

[Hatty1994 819]

TO released new Iran servers & now that will be closed soon due to this MM update. Now Hazel & his testers will play this game & we players will view in YouTube ------- Congratulations!!!

Excuse me, for the V-Log challenge... Does a random team win or the one who completes it first or the one who does it best or does everyone who complete it win?

[tousif_the_master 2,240]

Well, i kinda dont like that " private battle thingy ", if im right, the STGs are ruined. and fire wasp too.

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

The dumbest v-log of all time...

[Ninja 10,468]

Guys , will the prizes of the video of the week given to every time who does the challenge or only to the first one?

The VLOG doesn't state exactly who will be the winners of the given challenge: the first team to send or all teams who complete the challenge successfully?

this would also be interesting cause in the past they could only give it to one player and not the whole team .. unless Nives has changed it , but then would it not have to supply a list of players in the battle so he could send to all players involved with in the video ..

 

would like more info on this..??

Excuse me, for the V-Log challenge... Does a random team win or the one who completes it first or the one who does it best or does everyone who complete it win?

Prize goes to the first team to complete the challenge. Apologies for the confusion.

ok just looked on the form . it shows what I asked about . sorry did not look before posting my question ..lol

[Adequacy 228]

About the challenge in Stadium RGB.

is it for just 1 winner or what?

[Bydo 20,120]

About the challenge in Stadium RGB.

no its for a team if you go to the form to apply on . you can enter in more then one player . read more info on the application form.

[austen_pierce 1,948]

“You can still battle with groups of friends.”

 

Translation - we left a back door open for mults and saboteurs.

 

Seriously. All a nefarious team has to do is create a group of friends and a group of mults. The low number of battles means it will only take a couple of tries to get the friends on one side and the mults on the other.

 

IMO MM with this friends-group loophole will solve nothing.

[Adequacy 228]

no its for a team if you go to the form to apply on . you can enter in more then one player . read more info on the application form.

I mean by 1 winner= the whole team not just a player.. so im asking if the competition is just for 1 winner or for all who did the challenge!

[Viking4s 10,791]

No, PRO battles will be fine. It's just private games that won't earn EXP.

Well the English narative of those v-log are very not helping.

[AbsoluteZero 3,729]

Kick 2.0 is looking a whole lot more attractive now isn't it.  Stubborn devs still don't understand it and they don't want to.  It's well thought out and no downsides.

 

They better get MM working quickly because I for one, many others too, will not be spending due to the uncertainties these new changes are bringing.

 

I know it gets said far too often but this looks very much like the beginning of the end to me. I had a nice run. Maybe 2018 is the year!

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

I am not looking forward to MM. However, I am looking forwards to the ability to create free PRO battles. So I guess I am looking forwards to the update overall. Since CTF is broken due to the flag indicators I'll probably be playing a lot of Poly CP.

 

That said, MM is going to be terrible. Let's start with one problem - inability to choose your own battles. This problem can be mitigated by providing a large variety of maps. Do we have such a variety? No, we do not. There are only about 20 maps in the list, which is about a fourth of all the maps in Tanki. And an alarming number of these are skewed towards one class of turret, for example Brest and Massacre. What's a short range turret going to do on those maps? The battle list needs to be enlarged AND have certain maps reworked / removed.

 

Second problem: balance. If a system is going to put tankers in battles without any input on their part, the game better be balanced if you want "fair matches." Needless to say, the current game balance is simply terrible, and this is not just because of Magnum. Game balance should be a thing that is finalized before the release of a matchmaker and not after.

 

MM claims to fix multing. What effect do mults have on a 15 minute battle? Almost none. Mults are problems in long battles, not short ones. The type of saboteur you see in short battles is that guy who joined a random battle and wants to piss people off, or is AFK. You rarely see determined, organized multing. Is MM going to stop this kind of "casual" mult from affecting MM battles? Of course not. He's still going to press that Battle! button.

 

The only good thing that MM will do is keep players from leaving the battle halfway. Overall this is looking a lot like Meet your Match in TF2 except much, much worse.

 

On the subject of controls - they ARE NOT BROKEN. There is NO NEED TO FIX WHAT ISN'T BROKEN.

 

It will be like it happened in WOT-Blitz, players will leave very soon because the pc players will have better controls, unless you use an iPhone or iPad to play.

The thing with Blitz is that you can choose to play against players who are using the same device as you are. So it isn't really a problem.

 

I am confused. Could someone tell me:

 

After Matchmaking system is introduced to the non pro battle matches (aka regular battles):

 

1) Can we choose map to play? (My computer cannot handle large maps. I don't want my computer got hanged frequently because of being assigned to large maps)

2) Can we choose game mode to play? (This affect the completion of daily missions)

3) Can we join battle with friends already playing there without being invited (now, we can look up the battle list to see is there any friend playing, if yes we can join that battle to fight with / help them) ?

4) Can we ask (invite) friends to play the battle that we are playing ?

You will not be able to choose maps. However the majority of the battles in the current battle list are not particularly large. Brest, Highways, and Kungur are about as big as they get.

You can choose the gamemode.

No, you cannot join battles with friends simply because there won't be a battle list for non-PRO battles.

Yes, there will be a battle group function. You will need to get your friends together in a group and then you will be sent to a battle together simultaneously.

The prize for beating the challenge first is split among the winning team.

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

Not Kick 2 again. Let that idea RIP.

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

Why you don't make this :

 

- The match making system, for those who like to play in random map, with no mults (we'll see about that...)

- And the battle list just like now, with non pro battles and pro battles. And the battles from the match failing system, excuse me, match making system, would not appear in the battle list.

 

Because, if I want to play in a map I like to complete a mission, let's say Rio, then I can pick the map in the battle list.
