I thought battle funds are only gone in private battles?

 

He/She probably misunderstood. 

oh yep I misunderstood my bad

[CooperO 7,956]

we are dragged into high rank battles and gold boxes are not dropping and friends list i dont know who are online and offline players who are offline are joined in battle  and i have problem with private battle  no fund in private battle

 Funds were intentionally removed in private battles to prevent players from using those battles to powerlevel.

 

Please add battle fund to pro-battles back, what about all the players that are playing XP/BP format all the day? They are a lot of them. And these maps are still the training ground of esports players. With the removal of battle fund in pro-battles, you're ruining one entire part of Tanki.

 Fund in (public) PRO battles works like normal. Only in private battles, funds are removed.

 

I thought battle funds are only gone in private battles?

 Correct.

 

How i can do missions now there isnt any no PRO-battles ????

Check out this topic: Unofficial Guide to the Matchmaking system 

It contains detailed instructions.

Multing is where a player places his/her alternate account (also called multiple account, short = mult) in the enemy team to weaken that team and have a higher chance of winning. It's a form of sabotage that is not possible anymore in matchmaking battles, since players are sent to battles at random. Apart from that, inviting friends into the enemy team to sabotage in battles is not possible anymore either. 

Low ranks in battles with many high ranked players is indeed an issue, but these lower ranks didn't join those battles as mults.

I'm not so sure about that.  I just played a little more than half a CP on forest and the opposing side had three tanks just sitting and they never moved.  We won of course thanks to these passive players.  If it looks like a mult, sits stationary like a mult, makes no score like a mult, and doesn't exit the game like a mult,...it's pretty much a mult.  

 

Based on this experience, I would say another big FAIL for MM.  Time will tell if mults are dealt with, but I think some players have already figured out a way to circumvent the system...and "no mults" was about the only real benefit the devs could come up with for MM.

1st battle: 23 sec waiting time for a CTF with a Wo5-Captain spread and we won and I caught a gold. The MM put a friend of mine into the battle.

2nd: 2min 34s for another CTF, i was put on the losing team (0-1) with 6 minutes on the clock. The team was imbecilic.  We lost 4-1 but I managed to beat the enemy's hero up a lot and the rank brackets were Wo3-2ndLt.

 

I wish the [Continue] button was changed to say Exit to MatchMaker, I keep clicking it out of habit and i never get chance to take a picture of my results. I also wish we could use the chat or the garage during the wait, as it is boring currently

Basics not working. Completed mission and no recognition for doing so.

Stop the updates get the basics rigth first

Matchmaking, in my opinion, destroys this game. I want to choose the map myself, I want to choose my teammates myself, I want to choose the difficulty of the game myself. I do not enjoy matchmaking. From now on I'm forced to play only PRO Battle games. It's sad that developers are stubbornly pushing their vision of the game, even though so many players do not agree - probably a big majority. I have supported game developers many times, I bought crystals because I enjoyed the game, but I will not do it anymore!

 

Exactly what is posted above.

I spent a lot of REAL money buying crystals to play this game but had to quit.

Seems strange but the last two times I bought crystals, my card was compromised.

So I ended spending more time playing to get crystals, sorry I'm not a cash cow anymore.

 

However, this Matchmaking idea has sucked all the joy out of playing Tanki. (or trying to play anyway)

Why is it that nearly always "New and Improved", isn't?

 

I will check back occasionally, but until MM is gone, I am too.

Dear Developers!

I loved the tanki. I playing every day since long years .... but now... i thinking i will leave this game.:( You killed the game for me. Last updates I did not like as well,but i accepted....now.... it is too much!!!!Your one of development: You made clans,It was a good decision. I have more friends :) and they are important to me. We help to each other, fight near each other....we ENJOY the game together. We enjoy the game NOT IN PRO BATTLES !!!!! We can not play together...i have a lot friends...not only in my clan... random players? not good..very-very not good! One of the essentials the friends in Tanki.... i know You had a lot work in it.... but please...remove this update... it is bad..... very bad update...yesterday i were upset,if i write then,i would be ban for 10 years.. sorry for my English...

i stay with respect

All the hate this update is getting is pretty absurd, sure it would be nice to choose your map sometimes, but it isn't necessary.

 

Just about every battle I have been in has been balanced, with one exception. If you have a low ranked player in your group, they will still join your battles. Recruits can play with legends. This is the main problem I see.

 

The fund change is awesome, I love that you get more crystals than exp, honestly I'll probably only play matchmaking battles just because the fund is now Better than in pro battles. If my team is losing, I don't have to leave anymore, unless I'm just getting endlessly spawn killed. As long as I can still get points, I'll still get fund.

 

It appears that my initial optimism was closer to the mark, for me, than my scare at seeing the huge rank limits. It turns out they aren't so bad unless your group covers a ton of ranks.

Matchmaking systems have major flaws.

Most of the games that this system made me participate in was a dead game.

[wolverine848 13,097]

That's what it should be liked. However, although there are a few valid posts here, it's mainly just flood. :/

A few?  Seriously?  

 

Sure my reply to you was part-joke because... your post was in fun... right?

 

But there's waaaaay more than a few posts that describe the short-comings of the matchmaking system.

 

Not really, now at least who wanna play non drugs go play pro battles and is not complaining about "druggers". As well as in normal battles everyone drugs, so why you always look at the negative aspects. Most of non buyers are haters, scammers, spammers, flooders, hackers, mult, saboteur. And even ranking an account on non-drugs is not so hard and impossible as people keep complaining. I have even a higher kd on a non drugs low rank account than a drugs one. lol.

Wow did you ever miss the mark.  Your post has absolutely nothing to do with anything anyone has said about matchmaking.

 

Maybe you are not in the thread you thought you were?

One inactive player shouldn't be a surprise considering players sometimes have to wait for a few minutes before they get taken to a battle. Chances are they start doing something else in the meantime and forget or don't notice they're taken to a battle. Although they should be automatically removed after 2 minutes. Three inactive player in one team does sound intentional indeed. Perhaps they were part of a battle group, but I'm unsure as to why they'd sabotage a team when they can't know in advance that there's a friend in the other team. We'll definitely keep an eye on the feedback regarding this problem in the next couple of days to see if it continues to happen regularly, even after most of the reported bugs have been fixed. Thank you for bringing this to the attention.

Sorry for my English.

Your sentiment is apparent, your arguments are strong, and your English is perfect.

there is a way to do this and if there on the phone in real life sitting in front of the computer all they need to do it hit the pause button and then when they rejoin battle hit the garage button . your hiding but still on the battle list . seen this done loads of times in the past. and there is not much anyone can do . seeing there either on pause or garage . unless i'm wrong but i don't think so..

Just want Tanki devs to look at the sheer number of players liking posts on this thread that think MM is a bad update.

 

Oppose this with the sheer lack of players liking posts that think MM is a good update.

 

Tanki..we want to choose our maps, not be forced onto maps we do not like.

 

Yes you can choose maps in Pro mode, but we have missions to complete and waiting minutes to join a map we do not like is backward.

 

Sort this out soon or I am off, after playing this game for over 4 years.

Hello Tankers,

I took my time before posting anything. Just to be sure what I say must mean something.

Well, I don't have anything to say except POO. The only thing I can think, picture or say after this update is POO. Just not any POO but a stinky winky smelly POO.

I will play now as fewer as possible just to see if this loads of crap is lifted off, else Its been fun Tanker and it was all because of you guyz. Love you. Thou DEVs tried many time before to ruin it completely but this time they have hit the mark.

Regards,

Once A Happy Tanker

My experience 6AM EDT today. 2 positives and 1 meh.

 

First Lieutenant alt completed a collect two repair kits mission on the first attempt. I think I got lucky on this one. I used the Quick Battle option.

 

Captain alt completed a Finish Top 3 on winning team mission on the first attempt. Again I used the Quick Battle option. I definitely got lucky to land on a winning team. I drugged like crazy and got third place.

 

Legend account had earn 1000xp in TDM mission. MEH. I spent more time waiting for a TDM Battle than I did playing. With XP turned down (and I’m pretty sure Premium XP bonus no longer counts toward missions) I could not finish the mission, even after two battles.

 

My opinion right now is that wait time to enter specific format battles is a real problem. This is an arcade game. We don’t want to wait more than a minute to battle. I found myself surfing the web while the game tried to find me a battle. When Tanki can’t keep its players focused on the game because of long load times, the future is grim.

[Xero_neXpert 0]

I am on PC, bored, nothing to do but still don't want to play tanki. Guess Why?

[DRAKO523 795]

My experience is still going well, Pro battle list loads well, Garage during a battle loading pretty fast feels faster then before the MM was even here,  not a single lag today. I keep getting put into reasonable games, not sure if this is my luck or I'm being trolled somehow  :lol:, by the looks of everyone else's (most) issues there are a lot, pretty strange. I find the new system alrighty :L.

^^^^^ This sums it up brilliantly.

The ridiculous matchmaker system just placed me against one of my best tanki friends.

It looks like goodbye tanki soon from me.

It was fun for a while.

^^^^^ This sums it up brilliantly.

I waited 10 minutes last night. I was doing other work just waiting and waiting and waiting.

[LittleWillie 3,199]

My longest wait so far was 5 minutes for an ASL game, to do a mission. This was about 90 minutes before server reboot IIRC; a low-usage time. I quit that went to a Quick Game and was placed in about 20 seconds. The next battle I tried ASL again and got in in ~1 minute.

 

I have had many generic missions that can be done in any mode so I have played many Quick Battles. If all you want is a team game this option will place you ... well ... quickly.  Sometimes you roll over right into another battle. I've stayed for the whole game many more times than the handful I have quit. My experience is battles tend to be worth playing now more than they were before.

 

But it is early and I have not had the log-in problems that have annoyed other players so much.

 

I think this MM is good for the player base though many do not like it. MM has showed how so many players just play one or two modes on but a handful of maps. MM is forcing many players to face new scenarios. Well that's just going to make them better players in the long run. 

 

My once or twice peek at the Pro lists showed much more variety in games and maps than before MM.  For the first time there were various CP games not just Poly. There were a bunch of rarely seen maps in the CTF section.  If MM means players will actually use the Pro section for variety then the Pass might be worth the cost.  Before MM the Pro section was filled with sameness day after day.

 

Technical problems aside the MM concept seems to be delivering wha tI hoped from it. YMMV
