Episode 165 of the V-LOG is now live!

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 don't know if it's a new update as I left Blitz a while ago, but if u check the playstore u will still see the recent reviews filled with how the game is rigged by pc players who have better contols.

Same control mode has been a thing for a long, long time. There are also people who complain matchmaking is rigged but they can't realize that they are just terrible at the game.

 

Also I'm pretty sure the majority of the negative reviews are about update 3.8, which is understandable.

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

All this changes could really hurt the game.

 

I don't like the proposed battle fund changes, it will benefit druggers and hurt other players. In CTF players will be blocking you so you get killed and they can pick up the flag, there'll be less team play in team battles. Many times I even sacrifice myself to cover my team's flag carrier, now what I should do is let the carrier get killed so I can pick up the flag to get more crystals per EXP. Other's will just camp and kill flag carriers. And Isida will be useless. Why not do the opposite and make everyone work for the enemy flag to be captured and to defend own flag?

 

I'm worried about the Battle Group Ideas, if it is like before it will mean clans or friends fighting against random players and that will not be good for random players. I think there should be limits to friends in battles, like 2 or 3 friends maximum in one team, unless there's another group in the other team. There should also be a way to let others know which players are fighting as group or clan. Friends should play in PRO battles.

 

Multing could be easy with Groups, you just make a group and all click battle, and at the same time you do the same for your mults. The group ends up in one team and the mults in the others... and Tanki is history.

 

Let's see what happens with the test about controls, but I think it will not be good for many. What you can do is have 2 types of controls, one optimized for touchscreen and another for keyboard, meaning leave it as it is.

[AbsoluteZero 3,729]

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.

100% disagree with that assessment.

 

How many clans are out there who say they're allied with several others?  You constantly see these types of players multing every single day. They turn the course of battles. I used to keep an album of this sort of thing for my clan but it was so widespread, I got bored of updating it, that and the fact we won more than we lost.

 

MM won't put an end to mults. If I'm unlucky enough to be matched with some of these guys, I know they won't try to play from the outset. One player can cause a group to leave. It's that easy.

WOW.  Take away battle choice, reduce rewards for high producers, take away rewards for pro battles is that what I am reading and hearing?  You did this once and it was an epic fail...why are you doing this again?  If I cannot play with my friends on the maps of our choice what is the point?  Last time you did this I logged in completed mission and left for the day, guess I'll have to do that again.  I hope you reconsider.

[AbsoluteZero 3,729]

Not Kick 2 again. Let that idea RIP.

Oh I came to terms with that long ago. I'm not saying we should go there now. Just reminiscing. I don't believe anyone saying anything here will have any sway with what comes or goes. Money is the only thing that talks here. We're only the EN community afterall. Nobody worth taking note of.

That's literally what I wrote.

But you're also saying they don't matter.

If you want to change Tanki, change it for the better.  Look at the Cry distribution for instance...why in a tight match does one team get a majority of the cry?  if it is a CTF and Red wins by a single flag they get a huge disparity of the cry...or CP I've seen 51-50 wins and the 51 win team gets a huge payout.  They should get more but not a large disparity.  Or deal with mults, make it easier to report mults, had one in a match the other day, had no idea who he was, as far as I knew I had never played with him but there he was with his twins pounding me screwing up my aim.  I like the GB change but the rest just make me go ugg....

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

But you're also saying they don't matter.

Let me rephrase: mults are less of a problem in random battles than they are in long PRO battles.

[LittleWillie 3,199]

the person who took flag needs isida help. he will capture the flag and get more crystals then what will isida get ? and why anyone would play with isida then? 

 

also what about heavy hull users ? 

You sure are assuming a lot of detail. How do you know what score the Isida will and will not get?  They already are a high scoring turret. I do not see that changing. Right now the game gives more points for capping a flag or killing a flag carrier. Sounds like they are just adding more way to get 'extra credit'.

 

Some player play games with the idea of winning the game because ... you know ...that is why gaming was invented. I expect in future TO teams will try to win games.

 

trust me they will . seeing the system will be choosing maps and teams for you to battle on . how is this not clear enough to state DM is going . wait and see this weekend or the future . there not in Tanki X

I see no logical connection to your conclusion DM is being eliminated as a mode. The MM system just does not assign a team for that mode.

 

WOW.  Take away battle choice, reduce rewards for high producers, take away rewards for pro battles is that what I am reading and hearing?  You did this once and it was an epic fail...why are you doing this again?  If I cannot play with my friends on the maps of our choice what is the point?  Last time you did this I logged in completed mission and left for the day, guess I'll have to do that again.  I hope you reconsider.

It might be what you are reading but it is not what is written.  Yes, map choice is going but only for MM play. No, rewards for high performers are being increased not decreased. No, rewards are not being taken away from pro battles.

 

I see downsides to the MM system too but I also see what I am offered now:

 

Out of 20 games in, say, CP mode, there will be one game at my rank level that is not an utter lopsided blowout.  There will be no empty player slots for that battle.

 

If I have a mission what requires CP, my choice is usually to log out and not play TO.  That is not a situation the TO company wants. I hope MM leads to much less time wasted looking for and more time playing in a full and active game.

 

Hope.

sir i understand this. why do you think I'm not complaining about it. for one this is the only battle which i enjoy playing on . in the past i use to do cp but then i found too many players over powering on one side battles leaving other teams with no chance of winning . this is also still happening in tanki X battles . which they claim to have resolved it with MMS but really its not fixed .

[LUCIFER1_the_dark 1,230]

Lets just wait for the test server tomorrow and find out what the MMS has to offer.

[r_UNPKO0 7]

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.

Thanks for answering and the explanations. It is a bad move to do the match making this way. I feel sad. It is bad enough to discourage me to play in the future. BTW I still have time to find another game to play regularly as long as the match making hasn't been rolled out.

[KILL_BILL_CHAUHAN 2,505]

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.

They already said in v-log that in MM you can't see your mission progress in battle

You will be able to play in PRO battles, and you will not have to buy a PRO pass.

[LUCIFER1_the_dark 1,230]

The only good thing, my premium expired so I was about to buy pro pass but now, I saw Vlog will wait, for the update.

[GHOST2POST 8]

To make my point I just played a CTF match...I had 26 kills more than anyone on both teams, but I was on the losing team so I got 86 Cry.  The worst player on the other team got more than me...how is that fair?  I'm putting it all out there and I got squat for payoff.  Incentivise me to continue to play on a losing team.  These are the changes that need to be made.  Go after the mults...give them a day suspension, then a two, then a week etc... Find a hacker ban him from the game.  Do not allow people to use hot keys to get all 3 supplies at the same time.

MM is not coming any time soon

[batatazilla 56]

I actualy like mms, but just bc I no longer need to wast 5k/month to be able to enjoy the game away from those pesky druggers :D. However i still think the old system of being able to do missions in pro was much better. Also consider adding a special tag (such as parkor battles have) to battles without drugs to make them easier to find.

Sorry I mnuar have misunderstood you 

[Adequacy 228]

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

That means there is just one Team u gonna consider as a winner?

[Hancho 3,902]

I don't like the fact that they will force me to play the map I don't want to play, if I don't enjoy it, I will leave the match simple. You can't force players to play something they don't want. 

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

I understand the control change like "if my tank is turning leftwards at full speed, and I take my finger of the turn-tank-left button, the tank will take less time to finally stop turning". Less inertia. More precise steering. Very welcome, as since the rebalance most light and med tanks drive like drunken snails ;)

 

I dislike the change of the battle fund assignment. To me it sounds like excelent players (or heavy drug users) get a even higher benefig in terms of crystals from the game. They were not complaining about beeing "underpaid" up to now and they already got better access to gear.. why change that? It sounds like very, very hard times for all less efficient players in terms of obtaining competitive equipment..

 

Putting a stronger focus on team relevant actions (flags, CPs, ...) is great; I understand the easy way of a crystal reward, but it will open the gap between good and less good players even more.

 

Also it would be less prone to sabotage if the delivery of a flag is not valued by 50% of the score for the flag.. but far less. I dislike those campers in the own base, that get you blocked, killed by an enemy, and then deliver the flag instead of you.

Points in relation to the transported meters are good enough to value each one's participation through out the whole delivery chain. There is no need for more points on the one that completes the last meters.

 

I very much like the goldbox time thing.

[tankkipankki 72]

Gold box update is gonna be good it was much easier to take golds especially containers during the women's day celebrations. But I hope u guys would make the gold drop more often not only in low ranks but in higher ranks too.

 

The private pro battle update isn't gonna be good because clans definitely wants to get crystals and XP when they're training. So removing the xp and fund isn't gonna be a good idea. I think it's much better to get xp and crystals while training for clan matches it makes the battle more intense and more interesting.
