Matchmaking is coming May 29th

[Psychotic 166]

I actually prefer matchmaking. I don't have to spend most of my time looking for a non-legend battle anymore. Battles are also now always full. Why would you guys hate on it...? 

Try playing highways when ur only m3s or m4s are isida, fire and hammer

[FTW 240]

It took you 8 years (counting since the closed-beta stage) to make this game great and 2-3 years (counting since the summer of 2015 until now) to make it horrible, what a record!

[varraccio 44]

Here’re the main goals of Matchmaking:

 

• provide fair conditions for all players in the battle (nobody can predict what map will be next, who will be on the enemy team, what equipment to use);
• make it easy and simple to find battles;
• create battles with equal team composition;
• fill the teams from the start of the battle;
• exclude the possibility of sending passive mults to the enemy team;
• provide easy to use system to play with friends and clan members in groups.

Noble goals, for the most part.  Major flaw: people like to choose.  Why bring this garbage back after it crashed and burned so hard last time.  SMH

Well, thank you for your work.

 

BUT I seriously DISLIKE matchmaking. I hated it from the first day, long ago:

 

(1) I want to choose the map I play on

(2) I want to play with all kinds of ranks

(3) I hate drugger noobs, matchmaking is full of them

(4) and there are the well-known waiting times, like last times I expect them to explode on holidays, etc.

How about the buyers, and m4's and m3's at low af ranks whats gonna happen now? and try choosing a map u want to join

[Mr-A.F.F 89]

Let's give it a try :)

610 Crystals, pretty amazing reward but utterly terrible in terms of gameplay  :mellow:

 

[caiosilvac 567]

Joined battle, Major Generals on my team, Legends on the other team. Auto finish doesn't seem to work any more. it sucks to be dumped on a map my equipment can't perform well in (my Hornet account was forced to play in Iran, didnt end well) The winning team still gets bigger rewards.

The battle at high ranks Legend are all Dead except for the DM which stays full and it does not take time to join in it.

In rest all types the average time i waited was 1 min - 50 seconds. 

Battles are not enjoyable like it used to takes more time then i choose manually

The only part good is all the battles i joined 2 golds were dropping for sure (caught 2 tho so far) all together i played 3 battles in this acc

 

Still they need to work on the battles which are always empty coz no other players are added once the battle is created that's what i experiences so far

we already did when they implemented this in the past.  it sucked then and sucks now.

Well that's just poor thinking then. Your first 3 m3 turrets should cover the three ranges: short, mid, long. But you seem to have at least two m3/m4 turrets for each of the ranges, so I don't see what your complaining about.

epic full battle guys

[ExTRAct 23]

Guys are the battle fund increase rate same for all ranks, like the gold drop rate?or are they lower in the lower rank brackets. Also disappointed to see warrant officer 5 playing with a leuitanant colonel.

[N3tralRE 282]

So I decided to try out the Matchmaking feature for CTF.  First match I got placed in was a Wintry Aleksandrovsk match with at least 3-4 players on both teams.  A couple more players got placed on both teams, although they ended up leaving, so for the majority of the match, the 3-4 players on both teams actively played for the objective, which was a refreshing change of pace after playing in chaotic 10vs10 battles. 

 

While my team of 4 players were able win the match 4-0, the opposing team also fought hard despite their loss.  And they actually had generous rewards for their work, as depicted in the below screenshot:

 

 

 

 

 

Thus far, I find these reward mechanics as a bright spot of the update.

 

Now I can understand why people are gonna RAEG, since non-Pro battles are gone and you HAVE TO use the Matchmaker to be placed in those types of battles.  Also, it sucks that you can no longer get your daily dose of gameplay solely from your favorite maps.  Having been blessed by the freedom of choosing what non-Pro battles to play in, the community will definitely be pushing back for a while.  Additionally, I expect players leaving the battle seconds after joining it because they generally don't like playing the map OR they don't like the team they are given.

 

Clans are certainly going to be feeling sore now that clan members can no longer just swarm into fresh battles and hijack the flow of battle to their personal benefits.  I mean, man, I've seen enough battles with assorted clan members beating the other team to kingdom come. 

 

Those are my thoughts for now.  Let's see if things work out in the next few weeks.

I was wonderin gwhat is the drop rate for gold boxes then?

 

 

if it's changed so that it's equal at all ranks what is the current chance 

[Psychotic 166]

The one thing i noticed is that when ur doing kills for crazy weekends its going to be so boring cause u cant have any friends in DM

This update sucks, and if they don't change it back, i will probably stop playing this game. The ranking got worse, and I took photos just to prove it. The ranking is bad because A, it seems like they made the ranks wider, so it's harder for fun battles. B, even if the ranking is better, there is still unfairness. I was in a battle where there were 6 people and every one of them had m4 guns and hulls. Compared to 2 people with m4 guns and hulls and 4 people with m2 guns and hulls(my team), you can see why it pissed me off. I am not lying, and i will post photos of this soon. C, You can't choose your map, which is part of the fun in itself. D, it takes way longer to enter a battle. E, You can't even play normal battles unless you have the pro battle pass. F, The battle pass costs money and even if you do get it, you can't get any crystals while playing in it. G, Buyers can basically control the game now, because they can buy supplies, pro battle pass, and get better equipment. H, This is what Tanki Online wants to happen because then there will be more buyers, and they can make more money. I, strategy hardly matters any more, it's more about how much you're willing to give money and time-wise to Tanki.

In conclusion, Tanki Online is more about how much money and time you have on your hands than skills, strategy and teamwork. The update sucks the life out of a once beautiful game, and changes all aspects of it completely. I hope this influences Tanki to change the game back for good, and keep it as it is. I believe that there is a lot more people with negative feedback than positive about this update. Please change it back, or you will probably suffer a player drop Tanki! :angry:

Ok one comment....

 

I'm playing against people with m2 and i'm a master corporal who literally just started on this account...

 

isn't this a hella lot unfair?????

 

so basically this update has simply made buyers even more in-control.

 

You buy = you can essentially ONE SHOT people with wasp m0

 

 

how is this a balanced and fair game? Please make this game SKILL based and not how much money you can spend.

 

 

For example make everything equal (free) and only have special cosmetics. This is common in a lot of PC games such as Fornite, PUBG, Overwatch, League of Legends, and basically half of every single pc game in the world.

 

 

 

It's absolutely absurd to think that someone with m3 can play with m0 (assuming you upgraded a m2 to max)

[Stonehenge 21]

I may have to retire my two sniper accounts, it's too difficult to earn crystals unless I'm permanently pointing at my own flag to shoot an enemy flag-catcher. It simply doesn't pay to get 30-40 kills/no deaths any more, which seems unfair given how much the high kill rate helps the team.  Also, on many maps I get annihalated by the faster hulls, some maps are pretty much unplayable.  Match-making seems to suit more adaptable combos.

I can honestly say that MM REALLY SUCKS!

 

I hate it. I get stuck on maps I don't want to play, I play against people several ranks higher than myself, missions are harder for the reasons previously mentioned, people leave when mission are complete; and just like me, everyone leaves if it's not what they're looking for. Congrats TO for a really noob update. (It's not like you weren't warned.)

 

I guess I have to decide if I'm going to buy the PRO Pass or take my 20+ accounts and just leave.

the hidden truth is that they're trying to make some money out of the game before it completely dies.. they've had a terrible update back then and didn't want to confess their fault or even discuss it with players so they've instantly believed that what they're doing is absloutely correct and that players' opinions aren't important.

[1212p_p 0]

bad update

who cares if the battles are full from the start if I cant even join a battle?

I have to wait like 5 min to join a battle and after I join its a battle of legends m4's I have to play on battles to my ranks not till legends ( there is even people of second lieutenant rank that play with legends...)

but the group system is good keep this

Ok true they're trying to make money

 

but look at f2p games like league of legends, overwatch, tf2, pubg, fornite

 

every game makes millions upon millions and it's SKILL based with the only purchases cosmetics

[1212p_p 0]

I even never seem a problem on the amount of players in each team

[lemmykill 35]

Here we go again, this totally SUCKS! for reasons already mentioned in the posts above. I quite playing all my accounts (about 16)  for more than a year last time you guys took away our freedom of choice, looks like I'll be doing it again not knowing when of if I'll return.

 

I'll check back tomorrow to see if this is just a nightmare, if not I'll be checking back occasionally to see to if you dropped this TERRIBLE update, until then, bye bye!
