That problem is only from matchmaking or you actually can't join other maps in PRO battles as well?

 

Also, sometimes i have this problem (and i'm TO client user); and i usually fix it following these steps.

If not work; then you can also clear your cache either from TO client if you use it, or browser

I can't play PRO battles, so no answer to your question. As my missions are not very specific, I very often choose 'Quick battle'. But even if I choose a specific type, the result is the same. Today I managed to play 2 games, all the rest aborted.

I play in browser (usually firefox) and clear browser history every time my PC starts (CCleaner), so no cookies-matter.

Have you tried to go here ?

C:\...\AppData\Roaming\TankiOnline

and then deleting the file of TankiOnline?

Guess it's related to client... my bad

I don't play with the client, I play in a browser.

because cleaning only history doesn't usually work for me

hope that helps somehow

The match making system is truly sad. It seldom makes teams even close to even. Dropping players into losing battles is a bad practice. If people start leaving and teams get even more unbalanced, end the battle. Why throw players into hopeless situations?

 

I just dropped into a rugby at 4-0 with six minutes remaining. I got lucky and scored one goal, it ended 7-1 with about one minute remaining. Why? Why not just end it at the 4-0 where it was obviously hopeless?

 

The MM just doesn't work. Sure, it is getting us in a little faster, but lopsided battles are no fun, especially not for the losing team.

Is assault, rugby, and juggernaut ever gonna come to pro battles?

I don't know about other maps but with the new update you can play Assault and Rugby in PRO Battles in all Matchmaking maps.

MM dropped me in a battle that proved to be two minutes of being spawn-killed, and I wrote the note above about that.

 

Now, just got out of another. Dropped into a spawn-kill fest with the match at 6-0. WTH?!?! Why would your system allow that?

 

I'm not sure if the four teammates still in when we were drubbed 7-0 simply hadn't had time to get out, or if they are rather averse to leaving early, like me.

 

What the hell? Three in a row? I only had time to die twice before the other team scored the seventh goal. 7-0. Why was I dropped into such a hopeless battle? Is it punishment for pointing out how crappy the match making system is?

 

Is it rugby? Fourth in a row ended 7-0. I lead my team. Had more score than half the clods on the other team, but, of course, four of them had more than twice my score. I got in at the beginning of this one. It seemed we had only one starting player leave. We looked evenly matched for the first minute, then they scored at will. Why? The match making system has to figure that out and not let such mismatches happen.

 

Fifth times a charm, I suppose. This time I was on the winning team. Sad, 7-0 still. They made two good runs, but we stopped them. They threw the ball off the map a few times, too. WUWT?

 

The fact remains: MM makes for very lopsided battles, very uneven teams.

Ok, I don't know this topic has been brought up yet, but by the looks of it, it has not. So recently Tanki released an update that you can choose a PRO battle name when you create one. It's all funny and creative. For me, I play Sandbox xp/bp quite often and now I can't really tell if a Sandbox is xp or xpbp or anything. It's also frustrating to find "sandbox" section when there is a lot of PRO battles created. Battles created in Russian is just a whole different story.

My proposal is that we should have  "switch" that we can turn it on and off. If you turn this on, you will see battles by how players named it. But if you don't have it on, you will see a battle name as it was before this update. 

 

Thank you.

Suggestion to improve the pro battle list now that battles can be named. It is frustrating now to figure out what maps are being used. It would be nice if you could include the map name on each battle's listing, but obviously there is not enough space on a line to do that.

 

So... how about putting the name of the map as a heading in the list, with it's own line, with all the battles on that map below it. Like so...

I meant clean everything cache, cookies, history, passwords, .... Everything you can select in CCleaner.

Sometimes then it works, sometimes not.

match making not fair most all battles you are sent to you are out numbered and the other tanks are fully loaded you call that match making.

I couldn't agree more. And what can I do with my Lieutenant-General (mostly M2 and 2 M3s) acc in a battle with all Legends and Generalissimo's (M3 - M4) ? So not only the number of players is not balanced, same goes for the ranks.

 

What the 7-1 with 1 minute remaining example concerns : some winning teams deliberately do not score that last goal or flag just to get more xp at the end of the battle. Very frustrating when outnumberd and outranked.

I never leave a battle early, no matter how bad or what the circumstances are. Tanki is about teamplay : you don't let your teammates down, no matter what.

With your rank you should not complain. In 'lower' ranks (like mine) I often get dropped in matches where I am the only one lower than Commander.

Avg is 20 secs no matter what but it take 1-2 minutes actually.  :lol:  :angry:

True, the numbers aren't correct.

MM is not working !

one sided battles worse than it was before, just because i have m4's doesn't mean i should carry my whole noob team to victory, sometimes i just wanna chill and be an isida helper, not the main player on every battle !

 

Remove batteries from daily missions

nobody asked for it to be added, and it's really usless for most of the players that don't want drones or can't effort one, what a lame attempt from the dev's to make us buy drones, well, guess what, i will never buy one, keep your batteries for yourselves, use it for your brains to think of a better ideas next time, or better, just use it for your ears to actually start listening to the players feedback Okay ?  :)

 

good, i'm outta here today, i ain't playing 1 hour for lame batteries i will NEVER use, my mood for playing is gone after seeing this:

Look at it from my 'noob'-perspective (Lieutenant General) too. Do you think it's much fun to be dropped into a battle with all Legends or Generalissimo's ? With my few M2s and 2 M3s I am no match for those high ranks with MU'd M3 or M4 equipment. I never last longer than 15 seconds, every opponent overpowers me, especially since heavy drugging seems to be the rule rather than the exception lately.

MM system: <10% chance of a fair and balanced battle that starts at 10:00. Often I'm put into lop-sided battles or ones which are about to end. Without supplies I struggle a lot.

 

Pro battle: I used to love this mode but now I am getting ganged up on in DM mode as I'm English and CP are all Russian speakers. I can't understand what they are saying to me and more often than not things turn hostile.

 

It seems matchmaking is more user-friendly for a casual player like me but am I suppost to quit 9 times out of 10 before I find a fair battle?

You want to waste your time - that's your decision. Some might call it foolish.

 

When MM places me on a team that...

- has 2-3 of my players doing more talking than playing, I leave.

- has 3 or more players with no score after 3 minutes - I leave.  That's not 8 vs 8 - it's 8 vs 4.

- has a player on my team 8 ranks below me - I leave,  "Battle groups" should be Pro-battles only.  I don't care if someone's friend wants to play with Legends - it handi-caps my team.

 

Since Match-Maker can't actually make the players assigned on my team play, I reserve the right to say adios to these "team" players.
