Matchmaking is coming May 29th

[bozo88 450]

Based off the vlog:

It is stupid to put strong and weak in together IMO

have all the weak nubs go in together

and let the stronk tenks fight it out. weak tanks are nothing but liabilities to us, and they won't have any fun while we destroy them.

​The only way they get into those battles are by using the "Group" system. Most likely players just going around and inviting their huge ranked friends into lower ranked battles, or the higher ranked players into higher ranked battles, a huge mess if you ask me. Hope they get work on that rank limits with the Group function  -_-.

What ya'll gotta realize, is that the devs probably don't read or hear about what people say here, and they for absolutely certain don't care. Why? Because if you remember the 2016/10 updates, that (and this one too) made people leave, and those who didn't leave paid more and more money simply so they could stay competitive. Same with this one. The devs' problem is that they're money hungry. Their hunger makes them blind to what they're doing to the game. The problem is, they're going to have the same results with this update as the 2016, people are going to leave (probably more than half of tankers will leave), but those who stay will be the people who a) paid money in the past, or b )  those who are willing to keep shelling out the dough.

Battles become boring now. It is not just the majority of the players altitudes changed, even my altitude changes. I now don't care the team score because whether the team wins or loses doesn't really matter. It is not a significant factor anymore. What I am doing in battles most of the time is using my Isida in a CTF or defence team in ASL near the base to keep healing teammates. I can gain lots of exp. I don't capture, defence or encounter enemies (because if I got killed it takes time to come back and run to position) but just keep healing. I sometime just leave my tank there to go to pee or make myself some food without concerning how the team is doing. As long as I keep healing lots of teammates I can get a decent amount of crystals at the end of the battles. I have totally lost the motivation to do battles good like I was before; today's battles are meaningless. In the old days, even my team lost but when the teammates and I fought well I still felt pleased. Now I just join battles, stay within a bunch of teammates then heal this one and heal that one and wait for the distribution of crystals. I feel boring now after playing in this way since the MM is there. Don't tell me to play just like before. Most of the players don't and team sprite is totally gone.

I see positive and negative comments about the MM sistem, I am one of the negative ones, when is tanki going to ever start listening to the players? Don't you see that the majority of the people want this update removed, but you don't seem to care that much at all.

I just wanted to do a mission on my account ...........  :angry:

Those noobs who are protesting against this super-update, let me tell them Tanki didn't force them to play Matchmaking, they can simply play some battles for mission, & rest of the time, they can play PRO battles with friends in your favorite style. Playing all-out battles 4-5 times everyday is OK, if you dislike any battles, you can simply leave & join another one, there is no need to cry around in forum. Just complete your mission objective & play PRO battles, VERY SIMPLE.

I do not understand the mission but when I wait two hours for it to be on a map, so it's a update and not no.

Not what i meant. TO is basing their "strong" and "weak" labels based off something other than score. According to them, they could have 25 strong 25 weak and 50 meh Marshals, and create a 8v8 pulling from each group for both sides. I disagree with this system,a nd think that all the weak marshals should be put in separate "weak only" battles, etc etc for strong and meh. 

However, appearance is everything. We the player cannot quickly tell at a glance the difference between strong and weak. This is why I am an advocate of single rank battles: if the battle is filled only with colonels, then it must be fair, right? Now obviously there will be the buyer colonels wiht m4s and the smart colonels with m3s and some well off colonels with m2.8s and some low skills colonels with m1.9s, but until these differences are identified the battle will seem fair to all involved.

Just Exit & press Join again, sometimes refreshing your request for joining battle works.

Still suffering from sub 3 minute wait times to get into TDM and CP

Here is something for all the yesmen in this forum, both moderators and players - and Maf is one of the most representative from this point of view for all the grotesque updates of Tanki Online in the last years without exception - who can't stop saying every time what wonderful are all these updates and how it needs only some minor fixes to work as intended.

 

 

 

 

These are the Tanki Online home pages in 1st March 2014 and in 1st June 2018, 1 hour ago, in a Friday evening.

It's only a small difference between these 2 pages after 4 years of great updates and I don't speak about the graphics: almost 100.000 players are missing.

 

This is the direction in which Tanki goes because the developers have obtuse minds. After 1 year of work, feedback and fixes how our CM Nives said, we got this atrocity called MMS.

 

All these crap updates will continue while the buyers will continue spending money in Tanki, because this is the real "barometer" for Hazel Rah and Co., not what the players write here, in EN or RU forum. They don't care if the players fill every time more than 100 pages in forum with pertinent comments and explaining that is wrong what happens in Tanki with these updates. This is not important for them. It's important if the money continue going into their pockets.

 

What will happen if no one will spend money in Tanki for 1,2 or 3 months? Only then the things will change and the developers will wake up. Only in that moment what we say here will matter for them.

 

The things will go in the good direction when we will stop spending money just to get these crap updates or if Monday, at Tanki Birthday, will be a new C.E.O. at Alternativa Platform:

 

 

Thing that probably won't happen!

 

So, what will happen with Tanki depends by what the buyers will do at Tanki's 9th Birthday.

 

Till then, enjoy the game with your friends, how it says in the announcement of the sales for the next week. What Nives forgot to say to you is that you can enjoy only with 3 friends from 300 in your team with this fabulous MMS. The rest of your friends are in the enemy team.

 

Tankers, have fun on the battlefield! :)

And don't forget to smile! Tomorrow can be announced a new update in tanki. :)

 

PS

Dear Maf, please don't bother to answer! I read almost all your comments at the updates in the last years and it's enough what I read, trust me.

 

I'm very disappointed by the attitude of the English moderators and how they understand to do their work. I think I saw only 1 moderator 2 years ago I think, having balls to say in forum about that update that is not good. I'm sorry I don't remember his name. In the rest...

another nub trots out the "tenki iss dyink" meme because apparently we all forgot it. Decade old flash games will always lose be dying. Conveniently forgetting how stably TO has been at 25kplayers at peak time for the past several months.

Shall there be more updates and bug fixes to the matchmaking system?

[Person_Random 4,991]

I'll bet that most people have a love-hate relationship with matchmaking.  On one hand, if you are on the winning team, you would like it, but then if you are losing you are eternally cursed for life until you switch battles or rage quit.

It's not the devs calling the shots. It's the management and the owners. Unless the devs are the managers and owners. Devs are just puppets that gets their strings pulled.

congratulations on finally devising the update that will destroy the game.

I think all the arguments against the MMS have already been stated ad nauseum so I will simply say that I believe all the  devs to be completely insane.

MatchMaking could be made more palatable by doing the following..

 

- Set up a lobby for players who hit "Battle" button - allow them to change equipment after seeing map but before entering the battle
- stop placing tankers into battles that have 5 or less minutes remaining - does way more harm than good
- get rid of groups
---- If groups are kept, a rank-spread needs to be applied ~ 6 ranks (or less)
- bring back auto-finish - prolonging blow-outs by adding more players to losing team is not effective
- add shut-out or "skunk" rule ... CTF score is 5-0 = ends immediately
- expand the map selection - we get the same small (and now boring) selection of maps over and over

[aneksartisia 3]

I am in the middle of downloading warthunder. I have literally had enough of this treatment by tanki, with them ignoring the wishes of the players and pretending the most disliked updates are the best. This was an update too far. Tanki is screwed. I see no return.

Sad, but there it is. Tanki will no doubt claim that all the players leaving was a carefully worked out strategy and tanki is all the better and far stronger for it.

PATHETIC...…...

[Shadow_elite 10]

It's about time the devs to stop playing ostriches and get their heads up from the sand banks. This is real, it's your jobs on the line here. The rate TO is loosing players, you will be out of a job really soon. 20 000 players and soon even less is not going to cut it. I do not know how TO gets income other than players sending cash your way, but that stream will be just a dribble soon if you continue to destroy the game. So, ask yourselves a question: how would I like to be unemployed with the reputation of killing once a profitable on-line game with over 120 000 active players during peak hours? That does not sound too good on the CV, does it. After you have pondered this for a while, it just may dawn to you that maybe this latest change (MM) in the game was probably not the greatest idea. But, it's your asses on the line, not mine. I just stop sending you cash and that's it on my part.  Plenty of others have already done the same and many more will follow. I actually do not think that the devs really read these posts, but I wish they did. Mods have done very little to try to calm players down on this chain, a few extremely neutral comments about pros and cons that are mostly beside the negative points written here. And that's it. No devs explaining why this was a good change. To be honest, I think that the devs would not be very welcomed here at this time. Might get slightly roasted by the angry crowd with pitchforks and torches.

 

With the exhibited lack of ear for the public outcry around MM, I think that the devs really deserve all the hate and wrath that players send their ways through their keyboards. You made the call and now you pay the price. deal with it. You can still pretend that all is good and stick your heads back in to the sand playing ostriches, but eventually your sand castle will crumble around you. Again, it's your asses on the line, not mine.

 

By the way I write, you most probably can tell that I am extremely angry and pissed off by our actions towards a once great game. Even more pissed off AF the way you all act towards players. Players that justify your very existence. You have shown that whenever there is negative criticism towards any upgrade, you choose to ignore it. You concentrate on fixing bugs etc. but if the modification to TO is met with mostly negative comments, you choose to ignore them. By the ignorance you show towards us, you slap us in the face saying "We know better than you!" and I have never so far seen even an obviously flawed change to be reverted back to the original. 

 

If any dev or mod or other part of TO personnel ever reads this and gets mad, good. Mission accomplished. Because we players matter. In the middle of your anger you just might experience a tiny shred of a thought that maybe, just maybe there might be an infinitesimally small speck of truth in what players write here. 

 

Yours sincerely, once an active player.

Unfortunately I have a hate-hate-even more hate relationship with MM. It sucks. It sucks so much that you could start a diesel engine through the exhaust with that kind of suck.
