Matchmaking is coming May 29th

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Mults. Yep I don’t see those.

 

On the other hand, I’ve been in plenty of battles with four to six players who just seem AFK, who probably just got tired of waiting in the queue and grabbed a sandwich while the game cycled and finally put them in battle.

 

Better or worse than mults? Not sure, but the AFK problem seems to be much more prevalent.

I hate matchmaking why you do not leave us free to choose maps

And tanki chose team members

 

I agree with this guy. I like to join my own map and have fun. I don't care about who i am playing with. I want the old version back.

Please don't provoke Hazel into shortening pause times again. 2 minutes is way too short to get up and grab a drink or attend to a pot. % minutes, I can agree thats a bit long, but I think 2.30 or 3 would be a better compromise.

I really don't get it. What makes this system so bad? I don't find it any worse than before. Of course, things were waaaaaaaaaay better back when anyone could create battles, on any map, just like in pro battles. But compared to the last year, this update is really no worse.

Biggest screw ups of TO:

-limiting battle creation to pro pass

-limiting missions to regular non pro battle

-introducing magnum and striker

-shortening GB drop times

-limiting friend lists to whatever the number is. 300 or something

-introducing containers in missions, allowing poorer tankers to get more goodies and crystals

-removing "get 10 flags" missions

-shortening battle times from 15 long boring minutes to a quick 10

Thanks for pointing out all the other screw ups!  -

limiting battle creation to pro pass    ----   Let's force players to buy a pro pass if they want to choose a map!

-limiting missions to regular non pro battle: After we force players to buy a pro pass, we will not allow them to complete the missions in pro battles

-introducing magnum and striker: Let's nerf the rest of the turrets that people spent tons of crystals to upgrade and let's introduce powerful artillery that can shoot from behind a wall while no other turret can do this and call it a tank.

-shortening GB drop times  Whooohooo! Now if you are nowhere near the drop zone, good luck getting one!

-limiting friend lists to whatever the number is. 300 or something: Let's introduce the old Soviet system where you cannot have as many friends as you want but we will limit them to what we think is good for you!

-introducing containers in missions, allowing poorer tankers to get more goodies and crystals :wow, I am rich in mines and speed boost which I cannot use because there is a huge cool down period. Let's make sure that 90% of the containers have Speed Boost and Mines! Oh, let's not forget the useless paints too!  But, repair kits are as rare as a good idea coming from Hazel Rah!

-removing "get 10 flags" missions: And put in its place Get 80 Kills in Battles for a reward of  5 speed boost and 5 mines!

-shortening battle times from 15 long boring minutes to a quick 10: Yes, and by the time you join the battle is almost over and now you have to wait 3 minutes to join another battle only to get an error message " an error has occurred" or "server connection is closed"

Yeah CP is fixed - when capping with several tanks - 25 battles points (3 tanks, 3CP maps, 8v8).

[ghost-guns 1,486]

I quite like the matchmaking system - games seem more balanced and I haven't noticed any clan takeovers (yet). People can no longer "shop around" and only join the winning side which I think is a good thing. On the downside, 10 minute battles are too short.

 

Now that this update has come into effect I think PRO pass should be much cheaper, perhaps 50% cheaper so everyone has a chance to create a battle on a map of their choice.

Someone pls help, after logging in, it takes a full minute for the loading bar to appear and then the loading bar goes forever... I cleared my cache and cookies to try speeding up the load time but it still never loads :( someone pls help

Battle groups reqire some working.

I am a brig so if I invite Commander to my group then I should not be able to invite a major or WO4, which right now is not the case.

 

Rest I am happy with matchmaking just because of the funds distribution, so now I don't need to care how bad my team is as long as I do good.

But its been 3 days now, still m seeing recruits in brigadier's and high rank battles.

IMO there shouldn't be a group function at all as it still allows organised clans to take over. Leave them to battle each other in PRO battle mode.

There are quite a lot of bugs that came with this update and from what I can see this is one of the major ones. Don't worry, it's been reported many times.

You're wrong there, of course there a few negative aspects towards this update which are mainly bugs, but there are a few new features to come with Matchmaking such as the new group system.

Give it a few weeks or maybe a month, you'll get used to it. :)

I literally WASTE too many minutes in battle, now I have to wait to join battles?  I just waited 4 minutes to join a battle!!!  I gave up!!! Bad update

[sugar-and-spice 59]

You just wouldn't believe how much stuff I have gone done tonight that I usually don't have time for as I'm playing tanki……..

 

This is the first day in months I have not played any tanki on any of my 30+ accounts.

 

I will not play tomorrow either, or the day after, or the day after that ad nauseum.

 

I reserve the right to change my mind if tanki get rid of the biggest mistake in the history of tanki - The MMS.

 

Mods - don't bother saying anything, no one is listening to you lot any more so just go back and put that tongue where all sycophants put it.

 

One final message for the devs - Foxtrot Oscar.

If i cut of your arm , you will get used to it also ... but im pretty sure you'll miss it , even if it is 1 month or 2 years .

[Matt_Black 203]

I played for a couple of hours today just to make sure I don't like matchmaking ( I don't ) and to see the effect on pro matches ( not much, still limited to mostly small slaughter fest maps full of druggers ).

 

What I don't understand is that not only doesn't it tell you where you are going but it doesn't tell you when you are there. I'm not a fan of the small cramped maps and I've only played some a couple of times so it would be good if the system could at least let you know where you are.

 

Now that we can't see the available maps does anyone know how many are in use? 2 hours play and all I got where the small maps.

 

I think I'll continue to complete the mission chain (but only one a day instead of all 3) and see if it gets better in the next week or two. By better I mean no MM!

 

As for spending any more money on this game. . . . . . not until things improve. Vote with your wallets guys and gals! A week or two of no income might see a change around.

Topic merged.

 

Did you try clicking on exit and trying it again few times instead of waiting it?

This is probably due to network performance. Try restarting your router, and/or any other devices (e.g. Wi-Fi boosters) between the internet and your computer.

Shove it up yours, the damn MM update is by far the worst one. Helpers in the game could have dealt with the mults and saboteurs. Half of the developers will be unemployed pretty soon. Wont be any players worrying over trying to do there missions. Stupid

[bozo88 450]

I am starting to see a trend in the battles I play, for the first battle of each session (every time I start up the client), I will suffer FPS drops for the first 2 or 3 minutes of the very first match, and so do others. For the rest of the battle and any other battles I play, I don't have any extraordinary (I have a potato PC) FPS drops. 

 

Current fix list:

-more conservative displayed avg wait time

-allow us to do other things while waiting

-suspend Finish Top 3 mission for the time being

-make it so players will not be thrown into battles in last 2 minutes or

--DM if any player has 90 kills or more

--TDM any side is above 90 kills

--CTF if any side has 6 flags

--CP is any side is at 40 or more points

-ASL is any side s at 85 points or more

--RGB same as CTF

This will put an end to the time-wasting of putting players into matches that are about to end. TX has this mechanic, except it is botched because it won't send in new players if the battle if there are less than 5 minutes on the clock, basically damning any team that happens to suffer from desertion.

 

jjg, you are beyond reason. I'll ignore the failure to decide between sarcasm and genuine speech, but your take on containers is just pure bull-poo. the numbers speak otherwise.

"This new system is more fair and balanced." - LOL!

Of course, I miss the old interface, but I'm afraid there is nothing we can do about it. Just adapt. :)
