Valid Legend-only battles for MMS

This would happen mostly at non-peak hours.  There's not enough players at your rank to create a battle so MM slots you into a battle of Legends that still needs a player.

It's a difference of ONE RANK so it's hardly unusual.

Its been happening to me since Marshal, just because I'm Generalissimo now doesn't mean I can't reflect on past experiences. 

And the very same matchmaker that needs ONE player can surely wait a couple seconds to find the Legend ranked player to fill the spot?

I'm arguing for this change in terms of principle since I'm going to rank up to Legend in the next few weeks anyway so even if it does ever get implemented it won't directly help me in any way, but I genuinely think its a small change that would make a big difference for those ranks Marshal - Gissimo.

I understand what you are going through - my alt account was facing Legends at Lt. General.

Problem is not looking for another Legend.  It's looking for a slot for YOU.  >>> Legends than there are players Marshal-Gismo.  Odds not in ur favor at certain times.

I've noticed that late evening/night is the best times for me to play to avoid the 9999 GS Hornet/Vulcan/Defender/Drugs types but I'll still come across a vast majority of Legends with a few Commanders and Field Marshals sprinkled in here and there. 

I guess the question then comes to this: should the matchmaker prioritise finding me a game asap above all else or should it take a bit more time to find me a quality game that I will probably enjoy a lot more? Currently its the former and I wish it was the latter, but as with most ideas on this forum, it'll probably end up down the drain if its not deepening the pockets of the devs.

It definitely is doing this - there are so many impatient players out there.

Wish it did more of this. Fewer high-quality battles is way more valuable than as-many-battles-as-possible.

Another result of the star grinding culture arising from matchmaking...

MM genuinely could've been so good if Tanki had the playerbase it used to and the game finding mechanics were tweaked slightly. I dont know if it does this currently but trying to even out GS when placing players into teams would also be a great step, I've seen so many battles where its a sea of red GS due to >9000 on my team and the opposing team is all Blue/Green at 9k+... surely it should know to mix those players up a bit??

Why are Legend battles in MM not created for Legend rank only so that they can play amongst themselves, I'm sure there are more than enough of them since 95% of the battles I seem to be joining since the Field Marshal rank I'm the only non-Legend on my team. Almost completely ruins the MM playing experience most times unless I fully drug out for the entire game. 

In an ideal scenario I would even have rank brackets within Legend ranks e.g. Legends 1-10, 11-20 play against each other but Tanki might not have a large enough active Legend rank playerbase to support relatively fast matchmaking, but I would be more than happy to wait 30 seconds rather than 15 for a far more pleasureable playing experience. Though this is just a side note, my main point is still highlghted above.

He left but then shortly came back on another account which had mk7 ricochet and Viking with that broken plasma torch alteration. I again held on as long as I could.

Not that this is the focus of this conversation, but what about the plasma torch is broken? I don't have it, but am trying to round out the garage. Is it good?

total pain in the ass .no time to react and even if you are aware of what hit you ,try aiming at this .takes balls  to go up against a good plasmatorch player

Firing rate of that of twins and impact force of stock ricochet. In parkour battles it's basically the king of flipping teammates over. Only way to overpower it is to use Viking OD.

In the long run they don't bother me because after 5 seconds of shooting, they're empty. Stock Ricochet has stamina. Plasma Torch is one and done. Plasma Torch is better if your team is being spawnkilled.

They struggle against heavy hulls with protection - get low on ammo and need to run and hide to recharge.

They are useful in some situations and not-so-useful in others.

Seems fairly balanced.  I have it and MFS alt.  I alternate between those 2 and stock - so I don't really favor one over the other.

Hello everyone!
As you all know that these days players can earn x3 experience points, which makes it easier for them to reach legend ranks. but when they do they face OP players with 9999 gear scores, which makes the game dis-balanced. You all know better their are far more experienced players in legend ranks which makes it harder for newbies to play 
          So my idea is that their should be more ranks in the legend rank. for example , when i reach legend rank, the rank icon turns white and after 2 or 10 more rankups it turns yellow.

Atleast there should be 10 more ranks till legend 100.
you might say what will be the difference cuz all the legends have to play in the same battle even if more ranks are added, the difference will be for the low ranks starting from brigadier rank. They won't have to face mk8 players while they are playing with mk5's or mk6

I understand that what you're suggesting are new ranks within the game, which is for the sake of balancing the game out so players who rank up to legend form lower ranks do not have to face those higher legend with over powered equipment and would face players who also ranked up from the lower ranks due to the current exp boost. Thus i find these two ideas quite similar in it's base concept. 

[Newton_Error 14]

Legends shouldn't be paired with other ranks except legends. It is really difficult to get a single kill when you have a lobby full of these players Their gear score is generally 8500 and above. For others it is impossible to be compatible with them. Match at the place of becoming challenging it becomes one sided. Especially  in the dm events where you will find all legends except for 1 or 2. most of the time I guess there is not going to be any problem of them being 'scarce' or longer time for matchmaking. (rather it is difficult to find people lower than legends..........marshal, field marshal, commander, generalissimo)

If someone believes that this game is based on motivation on upgrading stuffs and if done strategically one can get a high gs. It is true.....but the problem is that it kills player experience. one can't just make multiple acc. and waste their time one trying everything.  And different maps need different combinations. And if devs are generous enough.....................I guess not

Thing is that at mentioned ranks people don't have enough upgraded armor or drones or hulls. It's just that when one reaches higher ranks(Before legend) one just doesn't have right equipment. 

pls look into this matter.

Lol dude you are  just another one RTL with 88.8 hours. You are my favourite type of tanker to destroy with magnum.

[DestrotankAI9 1,513]

It is definitely time to implement this - Legends should only play against Legends - when you are at Generalissimo and below you should only play against non-Legend ranks. There are enough Legends in the game to make this possible, and it should be done - things would be much fairer in the upper ranks.

The problem with Legends has gotten worse since the Drone upgrade level/supplies linkage update - Legends very often have a maxed out non-Brutus drone, whereas lower ranks have rarely had the crystals/time to upgrade any non-Brutus drone to that level - resulting in an even greater disadvantage than before.

This needs to happen, ASAP.

Yeah, I would like a MM with just Legends to keep the Ranks and GS organized.

When becoming a Legend Rank, we can always be placed in Legend battles.

There's quite a lot of Legend ranks now, and many are strong compared to other Legends, but all Legends can become stronger.

This small change can make MM battles more balanced.

[Newton_Error 14]

maybe another year or so to get implemented I guess.

Hi there!

I would like to formally push for the partitioning of ranks when playing in battle, specifically for legend ranks. I find it unfair when a lower rank, say marshal, is forced to play with legend accounts which are most of the time fully maxed out. This marshal player whose gear score may be somewhere around 6000, is forced to play with a maxed legend g.s 9999 and thus the game becomes boring to him/her. The Legend tankers are also affected as they find these types of battles too easy and thus they also get bored.

Proposed solution:

Please separate the legend ranks from being able to play with other ranks i.e generalissimo going downwards.

Instead, let the legend players play their own battles against other legends ranks only while the rest of the players  are free to mingle with each other, of course  within a given range as well.

I hope you consider my proposition as I feel that it would ease the tension for many players in the game.

Yours sincerely
