Matchmaking is coming May 29th

Eh. People will get used to it, this happens every single time a bad update comes. It's human nature, we adapt and evolve.

Fawning: Attempting to win favour from influential people by flattery

Honestly, I have no idea what game you're playing to say this is working "somewhat fine". Fawn level 10.

Thanks for cropping out the rest of my post, where I actually criticised the system and explained that it may not work properly at low ranks.

 

Matchmaking isn't perfect and it's less than what I expected. But compared to the system we had previously, it is basically the same in terms of ease and convenience.

 

Pros:

 - No need to sit and look through the battle list, trying to find a suitable battle that has recently started, has nearly full teams and an even score.

 - Single click to get into battle

 - Better fund distribution

 - No mults

 

Cons:

 - No way to choose the map

 - Sometimes low rank accounts get in battles (hopefully will be fixed by proper rank limits)

 - Games not always full

 - No autofinish

 - Waiting times are sometimes way too long (might be a bug)

 

So like I said, it's far from a perfect system, but it works almost as it should and there's always room for improvement.

As we all know, matchmaking has just been released into the game. The format for matchmaking has it so that you wait until enough people are trying to join a battle before it will let you in. This waiting can get boring and it is easy to drift off into another tab to check another game or watch part of a music video on Youtube or even browse the Tanki forum.

 

My idea is straight forward. Right now, when you get into a battle after waiting for the match to fill up, the system just puts you in the battle and if you are in another tab, you will be kicked out. If a bell is added that dings right when you start loading the battle, you will know when you are put into a match. This bell could, of course, be toggled in settings.

 

I do not know how much programing this would take, but it would be helpful to some people.

 

Thank you for reading this and replying to it.

     Also  Maf sometimes we see by clicking Tap that the map is Full  8vs8 Or 7vs7  but in reality

      Some players appear in the list only like this One 

 

      We played the whole game 7 vs 3

Typical school-age reply. I see you're incapable of an intelligent conversation.

Okey, might as well end the conversation here. I'm simply not on your level of intelligence. I hope one day I can be, and perhaps then I will know the true meaning of communism.

No not nice

i have to wait for 5 min to join the battle and cant pick my favorite maps
plus its not fair for low ranks to play with high ranks

I Love this. Tried it out. Simply cool. Waiting time is the only downfall.

I can't even login. It shows a black screen as soon as I press Play on the login screen (in the client)

 

Any ideas?

This is one of the worst TO updates, because ruecruit can play with legend rank, and today i wanted to play assault, but it brought me to TDM battle!!! And i had hard mission in rugby mode, and i got to rugby mode battle. After finishing the battle i pressed "Continue". And went to TDM battle!!!! I wasted 10 minutes, I thought that it was rugby mode, and completed all things that need my mission. And i saw that was TDM mode. You will lose so many players, stop it, look at TO's chat, everybody is saying "REMOVE"

Thanks for cropping out the rest of my post, where I actually criticised the system and explained that it may not work properly at low ranks.

 

Matchmaking isn't perfect and it's less than what I expected. But compared to the system we had previously, it is basically the same in terms of ease and convenience.

It is not even vaguely close to the same in terms of ease and convenience...is there anyone anywhere that likes to wait in queue?  Is lack of any choice and no control now called convenience?...I don't think so...I think it would be called inconvenience.

 

Pros:

 - No need to sit and look through the battle list, trying to find a suitable battle that has recently started, has nearly full teams and an even score.

True, the 30 seconds to find a suitable battle of your choice is not needed now.  It has been replaced with being tossed into any old random battle, with no consideration for winning or losing team, time left in the match, suitable map, or rank brackets...and usually takes a minute or two to accomplish this.  We could have done the same exact thing in one second by clicking on any random battle from the battle list.

 

 - Single click to get into battle

Didn't a single click get us into a battle previously?...so this is no advantage or "pro"...it's a wash  if not, I would be happy to click my mouse twice for a battle of my own choosing.

 

 - Better fund distribution

For the losing team this is true, but at the sacrifice of part of the winning teams take.  I certainly make way less per battle than I did previously when I'm on top.  Plus this has NOTHING to do with MM...it is a separate issue that could have been easily applied to our battle list style of operation.

 

 - No mults

Less mults...I've already run across several passive insert players and, now, the box collector has become the drag on the team...and if the team is losing many players just sit and do nothing while waiting for the clock to run out....every bit as bad (maybe even worse) than a mult.  I never minded mults much because they tended to be evenly distributed..one or two for each team and they made great, easy targets to boost scores....I personally almost never had a complaint against mults.

 

Cons:

 - No way to choose the map

 - Sometimes low rank accounts get in battles (hopefully will be fixed by proper rank limits)

 - Games not always full

 - No autofinish

 - Waiting times are sometimes way too long (might be a bug)

The cons are vast and WAY more numerous than what you have here....death of team spirit, apathetic attitudes of some players, nothing to do while waiting in queue, no continuity between matches, wait for a battle and get your momentum just to get dumped back into the queue to lose it and get bored for the next match with an entire different team on a different map...no battle continuation, missions have been made much more difficult especially box missions, no way to choose duration of a battle (partial or full), no way to choose teammates (I looked at names and scores previously), much more time need to complete missions with MM, a general loss of fun from poor mechanic and an overall pall of ANGER, ad infinitum.

 

I'd say half a pro to a dozen or more cons.

 

So like I said, it's far from a perfect system, but it works almost as it should and there's always room for improvement.

It is so very FAR from a perfect system that it is almost not workable...if you bend over to take what ever Tanki dishes out, it can be managed like a significantly debilitating illness can be managed.  This does not make it a good or even remotely close to a good system...in fact it is absolutely AWFUL, but it can be dealt with...painfully.  The only real improvement would be to SCRAP MatchMaking

Matchmaking Best Update ever !!! I don't understand why everyone is protesting  :rolleyes:

it's very rare hatty support any update. Wait did hatty sale his acc to someone :P

[Maf 32,317]

 

Obviously you're entitled to your opinion as much as I am entitled to mine. I admit that I didn't play THAT many battles, so I probably didn't experience all the issues associated with MM yet, so based on solely personal experience I am almost satisfied with how MM works. Like I said - in my opinion, in terms of convenience MM is almost as good as the old system, but this opinion may change later.

So you actually think this MM system (with a few adjustment tweaks) is better than what we had?  I too can deal with MM, but that doesn't mean I like it or think it is an improvement.  To me it is just another obstetrical that Tanki has put in the way of the game and will certainly cut the fun quotient once again...but that is just me (well and a bunch more folks based on this thread). 

 

So let's be clear...Do you think MM is an improvement over the older system (given a few tweaks here and there...it new so needs adjustment)?   I do not...I think MM is a real downgrade and will impact the player base dramatically over the next few weeks.  And I agree everyone is entitled to their opinion..of course.

[insane_grg 113]

just played an asl battle.was first in losing team with 426 score and got around 450 crystal.

for some people thats wrong ! they want less crystal in losing team.noobs.

[NO-ONE-SEE-NE 22]

One of the worst tNki updates , 8 mins and no battle found then get kicked from the battle , reason ? Inactive ,

So now we can't play battles and fisinsh our missions right ? Hmmmm , let me take a deep breathe and think wither this a good or bad update ...
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... Ahhhhhhhhhhh ,,, fewhhhhhhhhh ....

Damn nooooooooooooooooooooo ! Damn no I can't play battles anymore , even if I enters the game the other team will be scored/captured while I'm still loading , this are so bad ,

My suggestion is to make the MM optional , why forcing us to do ? Why taking our freedom ?? Tons of sleepy devs took 3 years running their brains and work hard to do MM and now its fully if bugs and unbalanced and players don't like it ? Huh ? Don't tell me tanki prepare to the next April fool Early this year -_- ,

Other suggestion , make less maps in the battle list so the maps get gully fast which make the players take less time to enter a battle ,
Or idk just fix it by making auto maps generating system that generate new maps when old get fulled ,
Or any other thing decrease the time to enter battles ,
What next ?

Tankers ! , MAY 32 we'll release the massivest update ever in the whole history of the game , welcome the ... (Garage plan system (GPS) ,,, ) !!!! ,This system will force u to do and apply the plan on the garage , yes you can't buy anything you would in the garage from now we control what u buy what u do , you are our machines !

Who says that after a matchmaking system comes, you can not put a mult in the opposite team ?   :D Good job developers.

It was put by the red team via the friend list - so yeah the statement stays you can't put it in the opposite team.

The group system needs to be improved.

I never said that it's an improvement. I said that it's "almost as good", meaning that I still find the previous system to be better. In theory, a perfectly executed Matchmaking would be far better than manual battle selection, but such a system would need a lot more improvements, such as:

- Ability to vote for maps

- More players for more effective matching

- Separation players by skill and equipment

- Proper rank limits, autofinish, score caps

- Other quality of life features, such as a more interesting waiting lobby, etc.

 

I really hope that the current MM will be improved a lot and will become better than the old system (obviously some will still prefer the old one, no matter what devs do), but I doubt it will ever reach this superior level of perfection I described above.

[Attack-Minded 155]

Mods are here always optimism even if the new feature is definitely bad.Are they forced to get only a good word for a whole new feature? ROFL.

[Tabish 100]

Have the crystal to buy paladin kit waiting from 1 and a half month it didn't come and now matchmaking stopped playing the game .

 

 

And people like CooperO know that this update is killing the game but still trying to defend .

 

 

1 qs what's the point having flags , points etc if it's the same winning or losing .

 

No one had problem in our old tanki but they totally changed it and now again!!?

 

If someone joins a losing team he shud have hope that he can make it win but why it's same win or lose

[NO-ONE-SEE-NE 22]

I suggest to make a music system while waiting to help us get a better mode :) , instead of hearing the nothing sound and leave coz we wait for the system to enter us a battle but we can't then we leave which will make the others wait even more then they I'll leave and so on which is totally bad for all ,

 

Other thing I know its kinda funny but ,
Mini game would be so cool while we waiting a battle or
Did you know ? A sentence will show u tips and other good stuff

 

Like .
Did you know that ? You can mix your own protection module in the garage
Did you know that ? You can use freeze to cool your burned teammate (by a firebird)
Did you know that ? Tankionline project started at 2008.
Did you know that ? You can Buy 2 alts in the same M level
Did you know that ? You can vote mults and hackers by using the followed command , /vote (player name)
Did you know that ? there is a wiki ? LOL

 

Other suggestion , tanki losing players mean more time to enter the game :( that's so SAS I hope tanki to be great again .

 

Mods are here always optimism even if the new feature is definitely bad.Are they forced to get only a good word for a whole new feature? ROFL.

Mods (Mad,ninja,cooper,etc) , Nice , wow this update are very logic and good to the game , tankionline is improving day after day , Yes ! One if the best updates ! , thanks nives ! , yesss for all losers say this update are bad they are niibs tanki is great ! , in my opinion this is a good update ! Wow I see that tanki become a lot better than 2015 tanki even when it was 200k online and now 10k which decreased like 90% this update still good wow ! ¥<>¥ Edited May 31, 2018 by Viking4s

 - No mults

Won't there always be mults? I don't see how matchmaking completely stopped them, some players do it for fun.

 

(Mults are still getting reported in game violation reports  the last one was 5/30/18 (yesterday)
