Matchmaking is coming May 29th

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

Either the system is putting Groups against Randoms, or Randoms that win are clicking continue and fighting new Randoms.

[AbsoluteZero 3,729]

What's a one off single game?  A pro  battle?  i don't get it?  All the battles are 8 vs 8 now.

You're talking about box missions. There are no box missions in Pro battles which is why you don't get it and size of battles does not matter when it comes to mission mults. If I'm playing a single game and a player enters my side to suck up all the boxes then he does a disservice to my me and my side. It's blatent sabotage. It's not useful to say that on average the sabotage evens itself out over time. I want to play fair battles at all times. 1 player can spoil it for the rest on both sides. This is not hard to get. Box missions should be removed.

I just visited the AlternativaPlatform home page and they claim the following:

 

"The project was released in 2009, but it still keeps 100 000 users online."

 

Maybe they should update the homepage and put 20 000 instead.

 

Here is a proposal: instead of complaining here, start sending email to the addresses posted on the web-page. Take your time to come up with well-based complaints on the MM system and how it causes players to leave. Point out all the problems this system creates. Do not put any threats like "I will quit TO if you do not remove this" or anything similar. Be polite, but hard in your message. I am going to do this. Hope others follow.

The 20k to 23k or so are players that are at that moment, during the day it's easily more that 100k.

 

Matchmaking needs a lot of work, but I think it can get better.

So i'm curious Nives. After some 111 pages and growing, why are you quiet? I see that you are responding to other pages on other forums but not this one. As a community manager, at the very least, you should be persuading the community on why matchmaking makes sense or even get us to understand why matchmaking will "liven" the game. You should be addressing these issues and not stay quiet. The mods are only responding to factual questions. If that is so, creating this discussion achieves no purpose but allowing us to rant and vent. I don't see engagement with the community, people who have stayed loyal to the game, people who have paid for the game etc. The only thing that i got was from the vlog - that matchmaking are "the rules". That's real lame. Cos matchmaking was created by your team of developers. They were never the "rules".

We all are curios why dont they answers  when we wrote like this?  Because they dont care they only wanna answer when someone ask  why client dont work  or why i got wait so long to get in game. .....  They scared  to answer  to that what is real problem here and  they also  "cleaning" so many writings here  funny. I really hope  they read what players wrote them and start to finally listening  players ......  but we all know they dont listening.  I really wonder  who have teach them customerservice?  Because  they  dont have that at all

 

Here is few questions to tanki devs  

 

When  tanki devs  starts to listen to the players?

 

When are tanki devs going to answer our questions?

 

How long are tanki devs going to continue this downhill?

 

I could imagine that every firm wants to be profitable and not to make a loss.

 

The profitable companies are listening to customers and their needs and try to meets customer requirements.

 

Why tanki devs dont listen players?

 

Can you answer those questions?

MM is working good so far for me, across all rank bands. Although you still get the odd match with large rank brackets.

 

My main concern is the gain of EXP when capturing flags/points. It's too low. A buff in this area would be nice, not what it used to be but some more than it is now.

I'm dreaming or the developers won't stop MM ? No on , seriously no , tanki online is officalally dead game .

 

I can't finish my missions , I can't play with a balanced team , I can't win coz of the late join time , I can't find a good map I like to play in , I mean why would I play on badra ? Believe me , this map is the 2nd hatest map for me . and they join me in it ? I left the battle and my team become fewr than the other team which mean there is a high chance they will lose , and I mean MM designed to make balanced battles and teams , but what ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once played (on my main acc) I had m4 Rico and almost half of my team has m2 and the opposite team has 8 players using m4s + m4s protections , this is what MM maded for ? Huh ? Believe me I can't finish missions coz of this update .

 

Mm destroyed tanki compeletly 100% .

[NO-ONE-SEE-NE 22]

A few weeks ago, the peak for players was around 40K. Now, it's barely 27K players. You can see it here. https://tankionline.com/graphic.swf

 

Around 13K players left the game.

 

I noticed that too lol a clear sign tanki is dead game and players disliked the update and want to revert it .

 

 

But they won't coz more than 40k left in 2016/10 rebalance did devs canceled the re balance ? No , the deva does not care about how many left how many stay , they care only for HOW MANY PAY .

[Xer0ne 43]

You are obviously a pro player playing with new/fresh noobs at the best of their game. Did you seriously expected them to play like experienced players and have them understand the game mechanics? to do take overs? Even understand what they have to do? 

The screenshot shows newbies that are still trying to understand how to use the tank control. :D  

I do remember those difficult times. :ph34r:

Thats your point against 5 vs 8 !!! because he was experienced he should not be complaining !!! No wounder you are a MOD

if people leaves the battle... to do stuff important to their life - i don't see what MM can do about that.

[NO-ONE-SEE-NE 22]

I feel too much negativism here. :) Do not desperate, just focus to battle and try harder to finish you missions and you will succeed, you will see. Nothing is easy in this life and the success can't come so fast, when we want. :) But I have an advice for you: go to shop and buy some supplies. Your life in Tanki will be much easier after this and you will see that MMS is working fine, just that you are too panicked. :) Are only few minor bugs which will be fixed in the future by our dear developers but for the moment they have another priorities. We will be announced in one of the next V-Logs. :)

 

Head up and...see you on the battlefield! :)

 

PS

With this update we can really play together now. The developers are nice people and decided to extend the range from Recruit to Legend to have fun together in battles. I'm so happy and excited!  ;)  All my love to our wonderful developers!  :wub:

MMS is the best update ever! Play more and you will all like it!  :rolleyes: 

 

Okay ! I'll buy supplies from the shop for 19$ and I'll be buyer :) , and yes man this update are awesome ! Now I can play with legends ! That has smokey m4 with alt keep killing my m0 wasp by 1 shots , nice update you won't believe I played a batlle and I've scored 7 xp in total and the others socred 700 there is no a lot of difference I mean only tow 00 is the diff and the 0 has no value is I've scored 7 which is the same too 700 of the legends that killing me in 1 shot everyge I respwan :)

 

 

This update are damn goooooooood please keep it .

WHAT GOT BETTER BY INTRODUCING MATCHMAKING AND WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH BEFORE MATCHMAKING??????
HOW DOES MATCHMAKING KEEP GAME ALIVE WHEN PEOPLE LEAVE?
ANSWER PLEASE.
FUND DISTRIBUTION COULD BE MADE WITHOUT MMS!

 

GUYS, GIRLS, THINGS, EVERYONE, WE DON'T LIKE THIS MATCHMAKING SYSTEM. I KNOW THAT ALL OF YOU LIKE THIS GAME THOUGH IT IS DEAD. BUT LET'S TRY NOT TO PLAY SEVERAL DAYS. THERE ARE AT LEAST 5K OF US THAT DON'T LIKE MMS. OR MORE. LET'S STOP PLAYING AND SEE WHAT DEVS WILL DO.

 

I will most probably get banned but who cares.

[Xer0ne 43]

Either you are very smart or very stupid. When there was a FAIR system "MM" it should have placed the new players as soon there was a spot. That could have been the case with no "MM" at all.

So whole Fair game is a white lie and nothing else only to enforce players to pay to actually play. 

And they have said it load and clear in V-Log that it is player's choice to go pro or do mission. The thing is daily mission is necessary for free players as they have no other way to get decent crystals and supplies to cope up with their experience/rank. And the way they said it shows they know that non pro sucks now. Buyers won't have to even look at it.

[Matt_Black 203]

So, the reason MM was forced upon us was for the mobile game. Anyone played it yet? I've seen some screenshots but can't find any feedback. has the testing started?

 

Simplify the management of battles for a smaller screen with MM, then add new overdrives, a module builder, drones, and who knows what else to make it more complicated. 

 

Do the devs/owners pull these update ideas out of a hat? Are they planning to take tanki to a purely mobile platform perhaps?

 

On the plus side there are a lot more drug free pro games going on so I'm playing just as much but "paying" less!

[LittleWillie 3,199]

And you wonder why I call you a propagandist. Silly boy, girl, whatever you are...

 

 

   You waste your time with that guy.

ThirdOnion is one of the smartest most savvy forum posters whereas you two jokers have never been seen before you came here to gripe about MM.Which is fine, grip away. But neither of you two have made postings that make y'all look smart or savvy. Not even close to earning the status to throw shade at 3O. So there's that.

 

There is also this profile. How does an account with ~250 hours played have ~2.5 MILLION exp earned? That is ~10,000 exp every hour.

 

Furthermore if you look at the exp earned under the various turret that adds up toe ~360k exp not 2.5 million.  So what is up with this profile?

 

Pressed continue in CP and sent me here [ie. to an RGB map]

 

Are you sure you did not join that 1st CP game by clicking Quick Battle?

IMO, the pro battles suck. The non-Pro battles are what is fun. Working towards missions is what is fun. MM has been an improvement for me because I can log on and get into a battle right away.. I have a better chance of finding a fun game and quicker too.

 

The toughest fights and best players are found in the NON-Pro section.  The Pro section is full of players afraid to play anything but Poly CP, again. Or Noise, again. Or Sandbox, again.  Or Island, again. Simple games over and over and over. No wonder Pro section players cannot cope with the tougher competition in the basic section.  

 

MM has kicked out the crutches many players used and forced them to face teh fact they are not as "pro" as they thought.  A player who always camps with Shaft all day long on Highways,.. that is all that player ever learna to do.

 

MM wil; make you a better tanker. But no pain no gain.

Greetings,

Mobile Testing has started, you can find a collection of screenshots as well as feedback from players on the main discussion topic, here.

Matchmaking, as well as the mobile version of the game, has been in development for nearly a year. It wouldn't be wise for AlternativaPlatform to take an already popular game to just one platform. The reason for the Mobile version, from my point of view, is being implemented so players can play from anywhere despite their current situation, for example, a player doesn't own a PC or isn't functional.

I understnd that part.  But how did you enter the CP battle originally?  Did you press the CP button or did you press the Quick button?  If you pressed the Quick button it might send you to CP fir the first game then you "continue" to a RGB game in the 2nd, then "continue" to a TDM for game 3, and so on.

 

I am just thinking it is posible you got in CP by the quick start button but forgot that detail. Memory is fallible like that.  But I will keep an eye peeled in case it does happen to me.

Ironically you didn't get the meaning what I wanted to say. Being smart in that situation actually makes him evil because in that case he was playing with words rather then accepting the fault. And as far your toughest battle comment goes.. Look Down Noob. I am not complaining because I cannot play with big guyz. I do it because I feet its unfair.

Can people for once stop commenting on people and just stick to commenting on the matchmaking aspect itself? It's getting very annoying to read, thanks.

I am not so sure matchmaking is getting worse or better. Past 2 days, I seem to be sent into battles with bigger division in skill between the two teams. However, battles have seemed to stay above 7v7 in comparison to the first 2 days where I was sent in battles 5v5 or less, or one-sided like 8v2 or 8v5. From the last v-log, I am reassured to know that being able to invite any rank to a group has been an idea from the devs that has obviously turned into a mistake (and they admitted it), hopefully they keep their word of fixing it soon. Waiting time hasn't changed much, sometimes instantaneously sent in a battle and sometimes as long as 5min (haven't had any where I had to wait over 5min yet, neither on this acc or my WO5 acc).

This is a rubbish update, unbalanced teams, waiting ages to get in to a game. Arriving in a map which suits a different tan than the one you have chosen so you have to change.

A classic case of not knowing what to do with something that is not broken, so they go and break it....such a mistake in my view, bad decision- I have stopped playing as much as have many others.

Bad, booring, slow and stupid.

[jimboe2 35]

This Matchmaking is really lousy. No choice on which map to play on. If I can't get on a map that I want to play on , then I close out and don't play.

I really don't even look forward to even logging on to this game anymore. In time I will leave it altogether.
