Matchmaking is coming May 29th

[LittleWillie 3,199]

Well today I have not been as lucky in getting interesting battles from MM.  I've quit probably half of them today. In every case it was a matter of 3-4 Magnums on the other team, or, 3-4 Twins on the other team.  IMost of the games were ASL too. n the magnum case the game turns into a boring standoff because attacking into that is much like the old WW1 let's walk towards them machine guns attacks.  When the twisn swarm is out they are spawn killing w/o stop.

 

I don't care what the battle payouts are. Those battles are boring.

 

I do not put the blame on MM but on the well-known OP nature of those two turrets. MM reduces the odds you will see thoise swarms but the swarms still happen.

 

I have had some minor log on issues today.  I'll start a game, the green bar will slow to a stop.  I'll leave the client re-enter directly into the game map.
 

Lai in general sem worse today.  

 

Differencs in play times from day 1 to day 2 explain some of this?? Who knows?

[USMC_Tank_Commander 86]

Stick a fork in me. I am done.

 

Guess I should go and see what is going on in the "World of Tanks" or "War Thunder".  I am assuming their developers don't waste their time killing those platforms.

[Shamie 67]

In pro battle the player who created the battle can select auto-finish or not, therefore before joining a pro battles check the sign for auto-finish.

 Auto-finish Indicates that the early battle termination system is active during the battle.

Ranking slowly will give us more time to build a decent garage, I'd say this is an advantage.

That is not competely true, please do not forget that every M2 turret can be bought at different rank, as a smoky user I know it's disadvantage.

Please don't mention kits, because they are not for everyone.

Aw, sad to see you go, you were an awesome player. Wargaming is pissing off WOT PC players currently, and War Thunder is introducing sub warfare, and in Warships the American tech tree just got new top tier cruisers.

Ok, thanks for sharing the pic, I didn't know that.

The more info you share in the first place the better.

We will pass this on for more information about it.

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

Not me... I WILL be gone.

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

Yes it's true, they removed auto finish for pro battles. It was good, especially when you are in a big DM and everyone leaves, and there are still 500 minutes...

[EternalGlory 84]

oh boy...

[brainhoo 735]

Because that's our job to keep a cool head. In order to appreciate the value of something you have to weight the pro and cons. Some changes are based on tankers complaints some are based on TO that have an idea on where they want the game to go. To TO the game is in beta version and need to be "finished", to be completed. For that they looked at what will make it a game and what would impediment the changes.

 

Mod getting all emotional will not help the forum. Constructive cT

Then i pity you guys. You are mediating something without realising the severity of the development. Fulfilling a role with your mouths gagged not being able to say what you mean. You say something and negate it by saying something else. Neutral = no point made. In most times, your role is pretty important but in this case, to me, a failure in change management in the supposed "massive event of the year". Massive in the wrong way in every sense.

1. with match making we cant play with friends, and i guess the point in games is to play with friends!

2. some maps i dont wanna play but with matchmaking im forced to waste time, which i wont!

3. when i start new map i have 5-8min. red fps due to dl the map in browser, and with this, every new map i cant play half a time...and till i start, the map will change and all over again, which means PPL CANT PLAY

4. cant make strategy against enemies, just charging like stupid till new map and all over again!

5. ppl dont like match making. u killed all the fun!

 

i relly dont see the reason why this is implemented in game, its a downgrading the game!

iv been with tanki several years back thru good and bad times and if u dont want again under 10k players plss consider this or ull loose lots of players again!

over all with points above i cant play tanki with this ! :(

 

[Picassoo 134]

XP gain and crystals got nothjing to do with the MM , its only applied the same time . There are also not a lot of negative comments about it .

Less 1 sided battles ?? not when i played .

Less mults ? In non pro there arent many mults , that is something of a problem in long Pro battles .

Battles full from start ?. ive certainly been in more then 1 where it wasnt the case  , in the old system you could go in if you saw room .

Battle groups , yes , something new ... but wait a minute , didnt we have a friendslist so you can see who of your friends is online and join in ... and invite ?

GB ? nothing to do MM , also applied same time .

Those are your pros ...

 

now the negatives .

- waiting times

- no choice where to play

- no playing with friends when they are allready in a battle

- not being able to stay in battle/map

- again xp nothing to do with the MM .

 

I see about 0% improvement in gameplay ... or wait ... more pro battles going on , so better choice over there . That is in fact the only positive i can see of the MM system .

Well, there still are unbalanced battles, but it was worse before.

If you want to play non-pro battles with your friends before the update try finding a battle with a balanced score, much time left and space for 3 players - if there is so much room, it is most usually at least 3:0 already. And yeah, you are right, i edited out the things about more Golds and such,

 

Sorry you do not have good experience with the update, but I am sure they will add some penalties for leaving the battle and make it more balanced (they did already in tanki X).

Have you tried the groups feature? 

[Seanithen 13]

How do I get a refund? This is not what I put money in for.

 

 

 

I just waited 2 minutes for a 3 minute game because the match making system didn't fill in both teams on CTF. Red captured Blue flag 5 times before they even filled their team. Now I have to wait again???? This is bullspit *I just tried it again and waited 2 minutes to be in a battle that was already 6-0 on CTF. Now I have to wait again??

 

I can't choose what map I play? What side I'm on? My last team was a bunch of new kids versus people way better. This happened twice to me. The more experienced team with better guns/turrets/ect. just camped in our base and picked us off before we had a chance to roll out of our spawn location. I have to put up with that for however long the game is and then wait another 1-3 minutes for the next map to load???

 

I bought a pass and I STILL can't play. I tried to play Berlin CTF and got "error reenter game" 6 times yesterday! 

 

Again, how can I get a refund for whatever this is now. I never would have given money for this. This is unplayable 

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Exactly. And it is just around the corner. LOL

 

 

 

"Recruits are playing with Legends" I like this part. HAHAHA. :P

 

 

 

In the next Vlog? Of course it will say "It is a great success with the MM and everyone is happy with it." What are you expecting?

 

Nah...too much negativity already.  They will say, "We have heard your feedback and take you suggestions and feedback very seriously.  Like any major release of this magnitude, Matchmaking's launch had some problems and are working to quickly improve the system.  The concept of MM is perfect but we need to make some adjustments to give you, our valued players, the best playing experience possible...blah blah blah"

 

This translates into, "Hey, we messed up but it doesn't matter because if you want to play our game you have to do it our way.  But we will try some band-aids here and there over the course of the next few weeks, so shut up and make do with what force upon you."

[joe.dassin 0]

I don't like the new upgrade:

- I'm always the lowest rank in the battle - my luck :)) It's perfect for the Legend players who can in this way find fresh meat to kill;

- you cannot play with Shaft because you don't know the map randomly assigned for the battle;

- is frecvent to wait 2 minutes to play a 30 seconds battle;

- rarely I can get a full 10 minutes fight.

So, missions only and PRO Battles after. Not a very good upgrade.

[Spurger 174]

Or he can learn to adapt. If he wants to be a PRO he should start now.

Comments and attitudes like this is why the game is failing. You're so pathetic it's beyond comprehension.

[Dies-Irae 49]

Because that's our job to keep a cool head. In order to appreciate the value of something you have to weight the pro and cons. Some changes are based on tankers complaints some are based on TO that have an idea on where they want the game to go. To TO the game is in beta version and need to be "finished", to be completed.

Mod getting all emotional will not help the forum. Constructive critics is what the forum need. 

There is a load of criticism in this chain, some constructive, some not. Some downright ugly. I've read through this chain and I have to say that most comments on this chain can be put into a few categories.

 

1. Get rid of MM completely or make it optional. This is the biggest complain. Together with this, there is the loss of freedom and choise.
2. Problems with MM. Imbalanced teams, long wait times to enter battles, all kinds of bugs related to MM.
3. Social aspect of TO. MM just destroys this. Even with the group function, is is but a shadow of the former TO community. This goes hand-in-hand with point 1.
4. Players declaring they will leave TO if MM is not removed or made optional. Some of it its just plain frustration but most of them will leave eventually. Should wake the devs and management up.

So, there is a ton on criticism towards this change in TO if you just go through the messages. Yes, you mods need to keep a cool head, but then again, you are on the side of TO and I am not expecting any negative criticism on your part to any changes to TO. Keeping a cool head does not mean that you cannot have an opinion on things though. You say you weight pros and cons, but so far the lists I have seen are not addressing the complaints raised here. Social and community aspects have not been shown to be weighted at all and this is a HUGE MISTAKE! Several other aspects raised in this thread have also not shown up on any lists. One big one is the freedom of choices with the old TO. By removing the freedom, the devs raise themselves way above the players and claim they know better what we want and need. This is plain ignorance, arrogance and I-don't-give-a-horses-fart kind of thinking. Not that his is the first time.

 

By the things changed in the past two years and by the rate players are leaving, I think there is some kind of panic in the management of TO and that has brought a number of very stupid changes that are thougth to attract new players or keep existing ones but have failed miserably. I have been paying for a few accounts (me and my kids), but during the past year and a half mainly because all the downgrades that have been introduced, we have not spend a dime. For my part, I have to say that I now spend a lot less time with TO than one or two years ago and that is solely because of the constant changes for the worse. I sincerely hope that you can get the amount of players up and TO alive, because it has been an interesting and fun game. Emphasis on the past tense.

Hello i can finish daily bonus... please help!!!

i buy card for 31days, i create my favorite maps and i can finish now :S

You can only complete missions in battles through the matchmaking system. From the battle list, you need to click on the green button at the top that says 'Battle!', then a window pops up where you can press 'Play' in your desired game mode. Those are the only battles you can complete missions in. If you want more details or instructions, here's a topic about it: Unofficial Guide to the Matchmaking system 

 

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

Capturing points and flags gives you more score and consequently a higher portion of the battle fund. So while it doesn't make a world of difference if you lose or not, it does make a difference if you cap a lot or not. It's definitely profitable to capture points/flags.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

MatchMaking is a vastly inferior battle placement system compared to the previous system.  MM is fundamentally flawed, devoid of all choice or control, a time waster, and undermines the quality and enjoyment of all battles and the game overall.  But, we will play it because it is our ONLY option other than ending our association with Tanki.  Because we continue to play Tanki, does not in any remote way indicate that MM is good or desirable in any respect.  We are just stuck with it and like any physical disability, we will learn to live with and maybe even thrive...not because of it but in spite of it.

Thank you for your support about our welfare and thank you for your concern regarding the game.

Helpers have a common share point/Skype group with nives, where we share our feelings about certain aspect of the game, the community, ect...

So we do feedback don't worry. Why there and not here with the other players? Well it is simple, what ever we say is used for good or for bad and amplified, and then it turns out of control. So it could influence what player really think.

Neutral = no point made. Not really, it helps player to make a better judgement of the situation. 

[girl_from_kurdistanX 383]

My suggestion is to vote.

Only with two options. Yes or no.

Yes, for those who agree with the changes and no for us, the opposition.

If you agree with my proposal, take this photo after your post.

[PhatDawg 28]

Well, we in the EN community are not alone......Russian forum blowing up worse than our over this. Currently at 230 pages and 5725 replies. I don't speak/read russian so thank god for Google translate. Yup, same complaints just waaaaaay more of them! We're not even half of the angered for sure!
