Matchmaking is coming May 29th

[bozo88 450]

Let's put it another way bozo88, you are seemingly a tanki stooge deliberately trying to 'adjust' opinions in the direction tanki wants.

 

Again.....this update stinks

Stooge? As in mindless idi0t under the control of the administration? my dear sir/maam you are very much mistaken. I love to give a kick to the administration as much as the next fellow, I've done it many a time before. And if you are calling me a liar, here are some screenshots of those 3 battles where I suffered no issues.

Now call me a liar again. I'm perfectly willing to accept and admit that other people's experiences aren't mine. But I do suspect that more of the people with issues are here complaining than those without, and thus we can't get a good idea of how bad the issue is.

 

Adjust opinions? Damn straight I am. Just like with the containers/mission update a month ago, where people who couldn't do basic maths showed up en masse to protest the change. And don't' forget to lump me in with Generallissima, Little Willie, and all the other stooges who are being reasonable hicks  about the update. Oh wait, that makes 3 of us by name.

DRAKO523, don't talk to me when you call everyone 'fellas'. Try learning how not to be a misogynist first. And trying to give advice on matchmaking is condescending claptrap. do you think women have smaller brains? well, I know for sure what is small on you. we don't like matchmaking, it has taken all the enjoyment out of tanki. what part of that is difficult to understand??

First of all I approached you with a lot of respect, simply cannot get that back from you but oh well...Trying to give advice on MMS that actually works very well was very kind of me. People don't like change and I cannot change your opinion nor can Tanki, just like I have my own opinion, this MMS will leave the players with two options the first one is to accept the changing, work with it, and see what the disadvantages and advantages are and how well it works for them, or they simply won't accept it, and leave a few comments etc..Leave the game or stay and see how it turns out, I cannot force you or anyone else in this community to like MMS without these changes Tanki can't fit into the current gaming market and become profitable.. I'll end this discussion now anyway it's very disrespectful ;p and won't go anywhere. Take care.

We also lost the possibility to have a revenge battle. Most times the fun is when the losing team keeps playing in the same map to have a revenge in the following battle. I have played many times for more than 2 consecutive battles, going on with quite all the same players in both my team and enemy team. It's funny because you learn how they play and your team skills.

I know that staff prefer buying heavy druggers to skilled players, but that's not fun for most players.

The possibility to replay a battle with the same teams now it is completely gone, you are sent to a new map even if you click "Continue".

I played Tanki all days this year, never missed one, even if for just a few minutes. After this horrible update I am reflecting if Tanki is still fun to play.

bozo88, I did not call you a liar, so that is a lie. I called you (seemingly) a stooge which is completely different. read what I post before you reply.

as a plus, thank you for not assuming I am male like DRAKO523 does.

 

this update goes down the pan or tanki goes down the pan.

You are so right, I miss being able to hang on and beat my way to the top. It so hilarious when after having lost two rounds, you finally win, and the enemy leader comes on to complain about magnums and drugs and their poor teammates. The feeling is so good, esp when you have had a skilled team, but were unable o gain the advantage.

Stooge: a person who serves merely to support or assist others, particularly in doing unpleasant work.

By calling me a stooge I felt you were implying I had an ulterior motive for posting my experiences (reward from the administration) or that by posting I was trying to serve the administration and subverting my own beliefs for their agenda. I am not.

[sugar-and-spice 59]

bozo88, I did say you were seemingly a stooge understanding perfectly well what the word means, and I hope you prove me wrong in your posts other than to me.

stooge is still not a synonym of 'liar' whichever way you look at it.

 

kill the MMS before tanki is killed

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

It doesn't matter, just don't say that 90% are Rail, Shaft and Magnums, because that's far from the truth.

 

Besides that, the opinions of everyone should matter, because we all play the game. If you have issues with Shafts, Rails and Magnums, take them to the developers not with the players themselves. I don't like Magnum and I blame Devs for that.

okay not 90% but from what i happened to noticed... most of them are indeed what i said they were...

 

this is the first announcement update where i see so many shaft+mammoths/titans with k/d 3-5+ complaining...

[Domminion 25]

REALLY ?!?

 

Latin players are getting the same thing...maybe a bit worse since this is peak play time.  I actually got into a DM battle about 5 minutes after i took this screen shot.  So about 36 minutes in queue to join a DM battle.
 

I thought mine was bad. :D :X

in his last reply to you he already explained why he implied that you were calling him a liar so what is there to prove?? read what he posts before you reply, sound faniliar?

I have one idea about Groups, Random and Rewards... rewards should vary:

 

In Random vs Random: if one team wins they get 60% and the other team gets 40%; If tied they both get 50%.

 

In Group vs Group: If one team wins they get 60% and the other team gets 40%; if tied they both get 50%.

 

In Group vs Random: If Group wins they get 50% and Random gets 50%; If Group loses Group gets 30% and Random gets 70%; If tied Group get 40% and Random gets 60%.

[Meowmix56 174]

Looks like I picked a horrible time to come back to the game.  This is terrible.  I can't pick maps I enjoy, I can't create maps, and even worse for people who can only afford one set of equipment and have to keep rejoining because the matchmaker put them in a map not conducive to twins or shaft.  Worse still it kicks you after after match so even if you are lucky enough to find a good one it is short lived.  I was looking forward to finally  getting back into the game and seeing what was new.

so... if it's tied in random vs random each side gets 50%... but lets say the total score of those on blue team is a lot higher than the total score on red... this means those on blue would get lower amount of crystals for the exp they earned? (lower exp to crystal ratio cause they also share 50%)

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

So yeah, funds distribution is very good. You can't deny that. I did my best in a very bad team, and I got a good reward for it :)

Not exactly, but if there's one blue with 200 score and one red with 200 score they'd get the same rewards. Remember that there's no battle fund pool now, it's all determined by your score, if I'm not mistaken about it.

And I'm using percentages as an approximation.

Here’re the main goals of Matchmaking:

 

• provide fair conditions for all players in the battle;
• make it easy and simple to find battles;
• create battles with equal team composition;

 

After my initial confusion in trying to find a non-PRO battle in the battle list, I had to wait for almost four minutes to join a battle that, after another full minute of loading, consisted entirely of tankers with ranks between three and six levels higher than mine, and equipment to match.

 

When will Matchmaking be updated to meet any of its three main objectives?

[N10 7]

Today I will start a battle in Madness TDM. Please Join. Thank you tanki online!

I love matchmaking

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

i feel that we should be able to see if our friend is in a non pro battle... i hate it when i see my friend online... so i spend 5 minutes typing a message in russian and... player is in battle and cannot read your message

[HammerXT 96]

Look, i will NEVER play in Solikamsk, i HATE that map !!!! :angry: 

 

i don't care about how the funds are equal now on both large or small maps, i just won't play in a map that i don't like, you send me there as much as you want, i will always LEAVE.  :angry: 

 

and  +5:34 min of waiting just to get into the losing side of a battle that almost half way through? :angry: 

 

you gotta be kedding me !  :angry: 

 

really ? is this the MASSIVE update that you have been working on for almost a year and a half now ?

 

is this what you have been annoying us with for almost a year and a half, an update that NOBODY asked for it and NOBODY like , and it does NOT even work !  :angry: 

 

i thought the MM will be okay, i only had problem with the drones update (that nobody asked for too) but now i have a problem with this too, this update make me sick, i do NOT enjoy playing anymore, thanks to you !  :angry: 

 

i'm so annoyed at this, i will NEVER play in Solikamsk EVEEEER.

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

I joined this one when already 3 minutes were played. It's the first time I see EXP > reward for losing team, and I don't understand why. The score is super close. Even the reward for winners is kinda lame. Weird.

Check the players with 310 score in both teams and you'll see the difference.

Ik, but I mean, why we got less crystals then experience, with such a tight score? Look this new screen, we lost 50-12 and I got more crystals than experience.
 
A win 50-0 followed by a loss 50-12. Not very balanced. But at least I am always first, I can't blame myself.
 

[Dliver 436]

This has to be the most bug ridden update ever for Tanki. Server reset after server reset. And when it is up and running all I've seen is more unbalanced games than before the update and more people bailing out of games than before the update. So this is your great update? Seems like another great failure to me. Like I have said before, people don't like their freedom of choice taken away. People don't like unpopular changes. All that's going to happen is more people are going to leave.

^my guess is that there is something behind the scenes in how the award is calculated (i.e. not just based on the numbers but also how you earned them).

 

Sure looks quirky though.

 

But still better than before the update.

matchmaking might be balanced in regards to short, medium, long range weapons, but matches are always one sided now.  maybe if it was based off a different ranking system it could work.  experience over time factoring in the number of drugs used.  it heavily favors buyers/druggers.  probably going to try buying a pro pass, but that kind of limits my battles.  at all hours of play, i face teams that are many ranks ahead of me with much more powerful weapons/hulls or the entire team drugs constantly.  i've seen some complaints about people quitting, but why would anyone stay for such one-sided battles.  there are some matches where even if i start drugging like crazy, it's just not enough.  there's nothing enjoyable about being the best player on a terrible team.  just as bad being on the drugging team.  it's not the least bit competitive.  sometimes it puts you into battles that are almost finished.  5 minutes into an RGB match where it's 0-5 already.  like, what's the point?  whether i'm winning easily or losing badly, i just don't enjoy this new system.
