Matchmaking is coming May 29th

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

MatchMaking is not match making....it's just random battles with a long queue.  They worked on this for more than a year and this is all they got?????  Very lame, very lame.  It's the Battle Button with a queue...worse actually since the Battle Button had rank limits at least.

 

Homogenized turrets, hulls, maps, and now even scores/rewards.

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

Is there a bug with distribution of rewards?

We won we got less rewards and loser got better? hahahahah?

 

That's not a bug that's a flaw or a side effect of the new system.

 

You got 110% more of your score number, while the top loser, no offense, got only 65%. That would be good for any other rank because gaining EXP is a negative, except for Legends.

This is what I get when I login.  Have tried several times but same thing.  What is going on???

Dear TANKI, tosay i tried for 20 minutes to get into a battle of some form TDM, CTF, CP even quick battle. I waited for up to 3 minutes multiple times and did not manage to play. Maybe if you live in Europe this wouldn't happen but when you're in a timezone well away it is happening all the time! Matchmaker is an utter failure so please remove it once and for all. Prior to matchmaker at least i could find a battle, any battle to play in until something i really wanted to play in came along. If when the battle finished i wanted to stay on that particular map i pressed continue now no matter what i do i get put somewhere totally different maybe i map i do not wish to play on. WORST UPDATE EVER. Even worse than Overdrive. Give us some choice back, let us create our own battles for free, let us have battles longer than 10 minutes. If you must persist with the amateur programmer created Matchmaker give us the choice in our personal settings to use it or not use it.

THERE ALREADY ENOUGH DICTATORS IN THE WORLD WITHOUT YOU JOINING THEIR RANKS!

Going well then - 10 minutes+ to join a CP battle???

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

It's working now.

 

EDIT:

 

If more than 3 minutes, exit and try again.

 

EDIT 2:

 

I was sent to the same battle I'd just exited (losing team 0-4  RGB). I thought this was not going to happen again.

So, the game is pretty dead at this time. 2 minutes to join a CP battle...

 

 

Lol Bruh, It takes me 4 mins to join a compe on csgo, 10 mins sometimes to join a match on R6s Calm down XD

Merged.

 

I quite like the choose map option. I think it will solve the issue of not being able to choose maps we want partially.

remove it players will leave tanki

Stop Serving Turds

 

I have played Tanki for about four years. In the past, there have been changes to Tanki that made me leave. One year later, I return to find that things had reverted back to a more pleasurable experience, and I have been playing again for about 5-6 months, and I now experience this TURD of an attempt to suck the money out of players. I have not spent any money this time around, because I wanted to see if spending would be a waste. Matchmaking is such a waste.

 

If you want more player money, you first have to make Tanki an addictive game that does not deviate from the addictive experience. This great again, terrible again roller-coaster is not at all pleasurable. By alienating so many players for such a drastic experiment, it is exemplary as to why your traffic has been steadily decreasing, and the longer that you leave this devastating downgrade online the more of us are going to drop out. Why is it that Tanki cannot understand the simple rule, which is: If you make a mistake, you own it, apologize, and change it immediately? Tanki, on the other hand, decides to leave a TURD on the dinner table for as long as they can, to try to see if everyone gets used to the smell. 

It is still a TURD!!!

What a brilliant matchmaker.

 

5 vs 8 whole battle, and among the 5 in my team, 3 mults.

2 vs 8 effectively.

 

I play so well and we still lose by big margin.

 

This is the birthday celebration you have given to us players.

Why is it taking so long for me to join matchmaking TDM battles?

 

 

Over 14 minutes and counting...

 

Is this a bug?

[Hatty1994 819]

This is called Matchmaking battle R.I.P.  :ph34r: 

 

[u812ic 1,629]

Waiting 5 minutes to join a 2 minute battle? That's not long enough to even get the feet wet, resulting in very low score and crystals. Then back to the lobby to wait another ? minutes for another 2-3 minute battle. Yesterday, I waited 3 minutes before sent into a battle that didn't last long enough for me to get out of base. This MMS is very illogical. Please give it some logical Art. Intel. 

[LittleWillie 3,199]

The longest I've waited was 5 minutes. Another time I waited ~3. I'd estimate 95% of my attempts started in less than 2 minutes and 50% in less than 1 minute. But I often play Quick Start.

 

I join new battles 90% of the time.

 

Seem like people here are finding their worst possible example and implying that happens 100% of the time.

I have good news for you folks. In a week or two I will use a new desktop PC with an 8 core processor - AMD Ryzen 7 - 16GB RAM and 2x 8TB hard drives. I will also get a brand new keyboard with anti-ghosting keys. This is more than perfect to play Tanki Online.

The good news for you is that you may need to upgrade your computer if its too slow.

 

Some time ago, I have managed to successfully enter a TDM battle without any long waiting.

[F.I.N.I.S.H.E.R 2,397]

Welcome new updates.

Rip to golden days when we had the choice to select maps, opponents, etc. Now newbies will never experience what we once had in tanki.

I enter in 2 secs

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

It took me around 1 minute.

Learn to quote players to whom you're talking sir! have fun :)

I haven't read all the posts so i don't know if anyone has said something about it or not.

Thanks to matchmaking, its normal for me to encounter 'Warrant Officers' (all) in a match. Earlier it was Sergeants only ( I am not sure about it but the type of equipment they had, they were surely in Sergeants group)  

It was easy for me to complete 'Finish in top 3 in the winning team', now thanks to Warrant Officers who have M1 turrets ( which my Mammoth M1  - which i got in a sale -  is unable to survive in front of those guns)  I would rather change that mission

 

 i like the concept of matchmaking but if this ranks problem could be resolved this game would still be in my favorites.

This may be true, but should you have to wait 5 minutes even one time to enter a battle?  ...or 3 minutes?  ...baring bugs of course.  The fact is MM is terrible and inconvenient.  I almost ALWAYS have to wait at least 1 minute...30 to 45 seconds to spawn so that is almost 2 minutes already.  Many times I spend 2 or 3 minutes to get into a battle that is 80% finished. When put into a battle have NEVER been put in the winning team...always losing.  This happens 2, 3 and even 4 times in a row.  This is lots and lots of wasted downtime just waiting and waiting for a crap battle.

 

MM is nothing more than the Battle Button with a queue...well, worse since the Battle Button had set rank brackets where MM does not.  MM has not brought any improvement in multing...just different kinds of mults.  All it has done is taken away ALL choice and control and given back NOTHING other than long waits and forced gameplay on losing teams with forced duration of battle.  MatchMaking is absolute GARBAGE and needs to gotten rid of because it STINKS.

[LittleWillie 3,199]

I wait ;less in the MM system than I did in the previous system. People ignore how long it took to sort though the lists looking for a game that was not going to be a blowout loss fr the only open team. Spending more than 5 minutes happened al the time ... we just did not have a closck to state at ticking up the seconds.

 

Sometime I'd have to log off and try again later in the day.  So yeah, if I have to wait 5 minutes one game out of a whole week I will take that trade.

 

99 of the posts here point out some flaw with MM. As if to to say if MM has an y imperfections it is a bad trade off.  That is not enough.  The comparison is between MM's shortcomings and the old system's shortcomings. In this measurement MM wins, IMO.
