I wonder if and when XP/BP battles can be played via MM because MM is focused on standardized battles and so is XP/BP.

Matchmaking is only for standard non-PRO battles, XP/BP or other format battles will not be affected by MM. The only thing that will change is, in private battles, you will only earn 1 EXP for kills, Point/Flag capture or any other action.

I wonder if and when XP/BP battles can be played via MM because MM is focused on standardized battles and so is XP/BP.

IMHO the algorithms for an XP/BP matchmaking would be even easier then for a normal random battle matchmaker, as the variety of equipment is way lower in XP/BP. Hazel said (a long time ago in a video conference with Cedric) how awesome it must be to not lurk for XP/BP battle but just push the button of the matchmaker - but at a later (very much later) stage he wrote in the forum, that matchmaking will be for normal, non pro, random battles only.

 

Actually.. I think it is more important that it works with those normal random battles, as multi-equipment battles are the ones that most players play + those are the ones where Tanki can make a living on by selling things through the shop (more then from the typical needs of a typical XP/BP player).

So, since developers didn't decide yet, if goldbox will drop 10, 15 or 20 seconds after siren, I want to say something about it. :)

 

At first, it makes sense to reduce it, if battles will be also shorter. Then, I suppose these changes will less or more reflect TX. I don't think they will be shorter than 10 minutes, since anything less is just way too short to have a 10v10 fight on big maps. 10 out of 15 minutes is two thirds, so why not change the gold box drop time like this too? From 30 seconds to 20.

 

I don't like the fact, that with 10 seconds it's basically about luck, if dropzone is somewhere close to you. I don't like this especially when it's about black box. 1000 crystals is not a huge amount, and it's often better to win few battles rather to wait 4 battles for gold, and have a small chance of catching it. However, it's different with containers, even I always check, if the gold is classic one or a black box, which could have a cool paint or so.
 

Let's see what comes.

 

 

I like the idea to have gold box drop at same rate for each rank. I just hope, the rates will be like it's in legend battles  :rolleyes: Maybe the value of goldbox doesn't have to be fixed, and instead, each rank would get a different number of crystals from it. For example - 1000 for legend, 800 for brigadier, and let's say 100 for recruit. Or more :D

For developers of Matchmaking System, I have the following questions. Thank you for your answers.

 

(1) Question in the new Matchmaking System can I follow all my friends (300+) and join them in their battle whenever and where-ever I want or when needed? In the present system I can follow my friends in every battle,trace them, follow them and help them. That is what friends are for...

 

(2) Question in the new Matchmaking System will there be a battle list with only pro-battles to choose from? Or will there be a separate button for Matchmaking PRO-BATTLES? (pro CTF, pro DM, etc.)? If not, the new Matchmaking System will get lots of bad reviews. Most players only do non pro battles for their mission chains not for fun, because they don't like druggers.

 

(3) Question: same like to, but specifically XP/BP?

 

Thank you.

1. No that's not possible in matchmaking battles. Only in PRO battles.

2. There will be a battle list with only PRO-battles. Because players are automatically assigned to matchmaking battles and they can't pick those battles themselves, there'll be no battle list with matchmaking battles.

3. XP/BP is played in PRO battles, which means they can be found in the battle list, not through the matchmaking system.

So it would be cool if containers and black boxes would have a longer timer then, as they are far more rare and so the effect on the vast amount of battles is tiny.

I think 20 seconds will be good, for Gold and Supplies. Black box should be removed because it encourages hacking and cheating... the other day I was on top of other tanks with my Dictator but someone else took it, it was like a glitch, other players where saying it was lagger who took it.

I understand it's very annoying when someone uses a hack, but removing Black boxes is not a good idea because, for non-buyers, it's the only way to get containers (if we don't count the War and other events/contests which offer container prizes). If a player is using such cheap tricks to have an advantage, then he would use it even for the Gold box. There is no guarantee that removal of Black boxes would completely stop hackers.  

The best thing you can do is report such players; either start recording video whenever Gold drops and report here or report hackers in the "Game Reports" chat channel.

 

Edit: Yes, I know you can receive containers from weekly mission chains but my point is, removal of Black boxes doesn't guarantee there will be no more hackers.

Well, we get containers every week by completing the mission chain, right?

 

Or is there another change we have not been told about?   :unsure:

Do you even play tanki or just live under a rock  :ph34r: We get it from weekly chain.

The answer is right above your post. :P

Quote from V-log:

 

"Here's what Tankers will get: Balanced battles.

A special system will choose players for battles and divide them equally among (should be between) the teams.  This doesn't mean all players in the battle will be of the same level.  They will be both strong and weak, but they will be split between teams in a fair way."  end quote.

 

So the brilliant MM system isn't going to match players like they have been saying.  All it will do is make sure the rank distribution is somewhat even.  If you are lucky you will be towards the top ranks...if you are unlucky and get tossed into a game where you are low ranked you get to be chewed up fodder for the higher rank players.

 

What an idiotic system.  It promises to  be very tedious and frustrating.  I guess Tanki is hoping for a majority of new players flocking in on their I-phones...good luck with that Tanki.

I cannot believe how crap this game has become since 2011. Sorry if my language is powerful but my message must be seen by many tankers today.

It is because the mobile version cannot handle the drive control, the control is going to be changed completely in order to solve the problem. That means if we don't know how to answer a question in an exam, the solution is to cheat. Brilliant ! 

[Hancho 3,902]

Nobody will play on the phone lol, it is too complicated. Some people can't even turn turrents playing on PC.

So many things wrong with what you said.

There could be missions with 1 container as a reward,  that way even casual players can get containers.

Are the current battles not the same?

The rank brackets sometimes gets you amongst the high ranks and sometimes you are in the low ranks.

Players all times play in battles where they are the highest ranks, so atleast the MM will bring in a luck factor, because I don't want to play all battles with Field marshals neither do I want to spoil the fun the WOs have in the game, so by the randomisation, we will always find a diverse team, thus making the game more fun.

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

Are the current battles not the same?

Here's the thing: the devs do not claim the current system to be balanced, so it is alarming when they say MM, which will be the same as it is now, will be balanced. In addition, you can at least somewhat choose what ranks you play against currently.
