Matchmaking is coming May 29th

[FrozenRailgun 1,771]

I don't know if it is just me experiencing this, but I cannot log onto Tanki. When I log into my account, I'm just stuck on the loading screen. Is there anyway to fix this?

 

Nope, you can't fix it unless contacting to Alternativa to see WTH is happening. I also experiencing this.

I am experiencing the exact same thing. Waiting over 4 minutes to go to a battle and then after a load screen is up for a minute getting a message saying I am inactive and therefore removed. I can't do missions. I can't play. Time was already limited, but now it seems impossible. 

Why release an update that restricts players from freely choosing the maps they play on? I do not play on certain maps simply because my internet connection cannot handle the pressure, especially on large maps. What now must I do? Match Making was not carefully thought through, now I have to wait for several minutes before being notified that I have been removed from a battle because of inactivity when I haven't even passed the loading screen... Then when when I do wait forever and is lucky enough to pass the loading screen, I'm thrown on some random large map which I do not like to play on. Our liberty is taken as players, please roll back this update and reconsider. Look at this from the players perspective for once.

Hazel's to-dos:

-fix groups to same rank brackets

-give me many crystals

If this is in PRC server, then guess what? Your progress of the game would get nuked. Oh wait. I have Premium like you. So basically, we will miss our 2500 crystal per day bonus.

It's good thinking that these developers can't be THAT bad and go so far as to keep the current MM system forever, but still, they quit obviously tested it for a very short time and very badly! This is very easy to tell: Warrant officers against legends. Period. They should have released it so much later. Tanki, stop making matches- it's setting the game on fire!

IDK, this is monster!

How to mult:

 

You create a group with your low rank alts or friends, wait for matchmaking to place low ranks in the other team...

 

How to prevent this? There should be a short rank bracket for friends and a limit to the number of friends in groups.

60 pages allready , less then 24h on the MM thing ... GOOD work .We never get the reason why there should be MM , because there isnt a reason . The quick battle button worked ( i think , i never tried ) the same way ... and we still did get the battle list . But all has been told allready , multiple times . They know it , and they move along . This means they are working on another reason ( killing tanki ? )

Lol, Tanki’s release schedule is like:

 

It will be in the game soon.

 

The update is planned for next week.

 

We didn’t release the update as planned.

 

We expect to release next wee- ITS HERE!!!

 

ka-Boom!

I've had a few good games...close games. The group mechanic is good to allow friends to play together. However, we just waited 3 mins for a 6v1 game...so...yeah

[DocWho6 47]

Let me put it simply.  Customers are most satisfied when they have CHOICE.

 

It's a basic economic concept.

 

Don't force maps and other items on people.

[kkkeithy 2]

This is terrible, supposed to make it fair, just played 4 v 6 how is that fair. Get rid of this appalling so called update, or at least give players a chance to choose to use it or not. Anyway another good game ruined by tampering, so goodbye Tanki, I won't be back until we get to choose.

[bozo88 450]

I just logged in and got into a battle in client. So it works for me

[r_Spytank2 129]

Sigh. Update? It's a downdate! This amount of testing (counting both time and the testing itself) was nowhere close to enough, and it should've been tested or at least another couple weeks! This was supposed to make it fair. It made lopsided it by 90% more. If it had been tested more, tested longer, maybe this garbage wouldn't be happening right now. They need to remove it and improve it immediately!

I must say - Tanki has screwed up a couple of things in the past - disastrous Xtanki, tracers on shafts, weakening of turrets, cutting down on play time, and more. However this is a mistake of biblical proportions. Unfortunately I think this has been all planned. Tanki has put too much effort in setting this update up to just roll it back. All Tanki really wants is to be mobile. So now with matchmaking it is. The games used to me 60 min, then 15 min., then 10 min. and with matchmaking they take about 4 to 6 min. One good toilet sitting time. Think how many people will see those annoying commercials between the games when playing on their phones. That's right, from a PC game Tanki has transformed itself into a phone game. It took away free choice of battle, choice of players, people don't continue with the same players on the same map, maps are mismatched to tanks, game is even more uneven, people forced to play maps they hate, people are forced to pay for Pro games or join a clan - what if they don't want to. Now we can't log into our accounts... I am at my last week in Tanki. I will get the awards for week ten of the missions' chain and end on that note.

Oh my...

 

4 minutes wait to get into a battle.  Other team winning 5-0 and spawn-killing me as I arrive.  Audios.

 

So... now I know... if it takes longer than the estimated time, will likely put me into an ongoing battle on losing side.

 

No thanks - I'll quickly nix that and start again.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------

 

Battle after that... 1 vs 4.   It is utter garbage.

 

I play same time every night.  Never had a hard time finding a battle that was relatively appropriate.  MM is the exact opposite.

[Stridsvagn 2]

Do I want to play in PRO Battles?   NOPE.

 

Have played 2 battles tonight...mostly getting destroyed by players 4, 5, 6 levels higher than me.  Left one battle because I couldn't move from my spawn location.  Tried to enter a third battle and left the queue after 6 minutes.  This game was fun when I started playing and was able to choose the mode and map I wanted to play...not to mention being able to join battles with others close to my level.  Definitely not worth playing with MM system being broken like this.

IF YOU GUYS  WANT SOME PLAYER USER STORIES LET ME KNOW.  Not sure what feedback this upgrade was based on.

 

The thing is, it's not based on feedback.  They got the same negative feedback when they tried MM last time.  For whatever reason they have it stuck in their thick stubborn heads that MM will somehow be a good thing.  They were wrong then, they are wrong now, and -- somehow -- this MM implementation has even *more* bugs than the previous trial version.  Pathetic, really.

[Moisthero 16]

Players wont be able to choose maps. 

The MM system will choose players of appropriate rank randomly, how many drugs you have or use is irrelevant. 

Now, the whole game has become irrelevant.

For the group a group chat would be nice in the news/general chat/clan chat.

[r_eXistenZ2 1]

Stayed in front of my monitor for 2 hours, played less than 30 min battles. Either I was threw to the maps I don't like or I was nearly the lowest rank in both teams. Keep quitting, re-entering, waiting and repeat. It is totally waste of time.

[giant05 207]

Unlike other players I'm not suggesting to remove it completely I'm adding some ideas to improve it

 

#1. Matchmaking - Group chat

 

We need to chat while in group the battle takes so long and therefore the exit tab shouldn't be shown that would be a small window and we can click out of it to chat or anything like changing etc...

 

 

#2 Matchmaking - Fair Match 

 

We will get some druggers or high ranks so how about changing them? Suppose from group I can play with legends rank as I already did once, Any extra benefits of winning against higher ranks than you? It's so hard to get them their equipment, their skills, Drugs Are harder to get them down by low ranks 
 

 

Hope it helps thanks :)

The game will not finish loading in Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or the Tanki game client......

 

thanks for nothing Tanki

Actually Tanki, I do thank you.

You are forcing me to find other ways to spend my time......
