Let's Discuss Matchmaking

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

 

So you don't play team battles? :huh:  Well that rules out most of the battle-modes doesn't it?

Your perspective is not at all the same as what... 80%-85% of the players will experience.

 

Play a bunch of team battles (not sure how you complete missions - many are tied to the 5 team modes) for a while and come back to this subject.

Actually there are a few exceptions. If there is a mission that requires me to play team battles and is too good to pass up, then I'll go for it.

 

If there's an ASL mission, I'll just change it even if it costs me some crystals, reason is that these days I have trouble just getting into ASL battles.

 

Other than that, DM all the way for me.

What is the point of battles where there are rank 5 higher than you? I have M1 hunter M1 thunder 21 protection against fire. With the higher ranks he has 26 protection against me. If he comes at me I might as well forget it. He hits me for a second and I blow up I shoot him three time from the time he comes at me and it does nothing. The whole game goes like this. My protection Mod. seems to do nothing.

 

So how is this matchmaking again. Please explain.

 

Either you are pounding the other team or they are pounding you. There is very little common ground. You get that one good game every once in awhile that is close.

 

You want good games Have the ranks closer and the equipment closer. Otherwise saying keep the all the hardware even then when the weaker players get weeded out put them together.

 

The issue with sandbaggers would still have to be addressed but that should not be a major issue.

 

You should not have to shoot one tank six time before it blows up and they shoot you once.

 

Turrets like shaft would definitely have more powerful rounds but that would be addressed by the team players just like it is now.

 

All in all there has to be a better way than it is now.

 

You start throwing these high ranks that have way more power and protection in there they don't just spread out. Most times they run together and it's three on one because they know it is easy prey. They fight among themselves to get to you.

Only 5 ranks? Have you ever experienced a game where the highest rank in the battle is 11 ranks above you? That seems to be the farthest for most of us but some of us have seen 13.

I have a WO 4 account, and in that account i have thunder m2 with 24% protection through upgrades. You have improve your garage if you want to play, but I agree that MM is unfair in terms of ranks.

Did you get your Thunder m1 10/10 without buying? 

 

Only way is Predator Kit at 80k crystals - and even then... you still have to MU it.

I have gone from being a frequent player to a passive player mainly because of the Matchmaker system.  Well today just has me feeling like a cheerleader on prom night.  A feeling of ripped open, broken off in and left unfulfilled.  80% (16 of 20 battles) of the battlefields that I was matched up with today my shots were not registering.  This is not an isolated event and it has been getting progressively worse.  I had to get to the point of rushing enemy Thunders and Magnums to force the enemy tanks to self-destruction to get the players out of the game.

 

The Matchmaker system if broken and a fine example of the Tanki Online development team's ineptitude in software development and project roll out.

Its not that hard. Predator kit isn't the only option. There also is Matrix kit (thunder viking M1). Its just 57 k or so, and I bought it at WO 1 after a lot of saving, and I had 50 k left. Then, some good luck in containers, along with double battle funds and challenges, it wasn't hard.

Well - I wouldn't say saving up > 100k crystals by WO1 is easy either.  You'd need to forgo many early upgrades and suffer because of that.

 

Unless you completely lucked out on one of the larger container gifts...

another battle where the whole team ran away we had a few on our team not scoring at all..

Yeah and it's just so boring as well with the same few maps on repeat...

 

Why did tanki bother changing the massacre map? I don't like that one now and always leave straight away.

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

This is some top-level balancing. 

 

 

The end:

 

 

[Guest]

Just got dropped in the same Massacre DM 7 times in a row.

 

If I leave a battle Tanki, I don't want to come back.

I need at least 10 minutes to join the right battle, and this happens every time!

Wait 1-2 minutes before trying again.   Or try a different mode.

[Guest]

I don't have time to sit around for 2 minutes.

 

And why should I have to play a different mode? :I

You don't have to play a different mode.  But it does gives you a better (100%) chance of not getting back into a battle you don't want.

 

You don't have time?  Seriously?  You can't wait 1-2 minutes? 

Well - have fun getting placed back into that battle you didn't want.   B)

I've equipped my tank out for a deathmatch, I will use a completely different combination for other modes.

 

No, sitting waiting for 2 minutes is not my idea of a good time.

I'd like the developers to fix it - which was why I posted originally.

 

My intent wasn't for someone like you to provide pretty unhelpful suggestions.

They are perfectly helpful suggestions.  Two of them.   Not my fault you are too impatient to even wait 1 minute.

 

It's no wonder we now have 7-minute battles.   Thanks a lot!   <_<

 

---------

 

As an aside - I agree in principle that you should not be placed back in a battle you just exited.

Unfortunately that is how it currently works - and Devs have been notoriously slow to fix MM.

 

So my suggestions would help up until they actually fix (LOL) this "issue".

Two more instances of 9 v 8 in MM. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ending for the second one:

 

 

 

[wolverine848 13,097]

Whomever says there are no mults in MM is full of crap.

 

Just finished a TDM battle where one of our tanks went 0-17.

 

Inactive tanks dont stay long enough to go 0-17.

[ghost-guns 1,486]

Pro battles are more active than matchmaking. There are 117 CTF battles in pro mode at 16:52 GMT. However in matchmaking I keep getting put into the same maps with the same players...

[tankionlinenomore 0]

another thing is why are the battles only like 4 to 5 minutes long what happened to 15 to 30 to 60 minute battle now i'm even more surprised
