Let's Discuss Matchmaking

[Michael828 816]

Heard that TO mobile lets you play tic-tac-toe with an AI while waiting for matchmaking to get you into a battle.

 

It should be more like a game of chess if you ask me...

[cyborg11b 95]

Maybe the forum needs like a support group for some of us that stay in bad battles until the end... sometimes. Unlike many, even noobs, buyers, and so called pros, whom quit battle as soon as they see they are going to lose or that it's harder than they wanted.

 

I believe we have problem, we know the game balance is bad, we know that a comeback is very hard, yet we stay. Why?

 

Here's one example...

 

Here's another example.

Or maybe a game where you add up numbers 1,2,3,4,5 by clicking different one always until they reach 2147483647

Having it depend on ranks is just stupid. It should depend on the m-levels of the players overall garage.

Perhaps but if you do it this way, then there is no reason to upgrade equipment. Just rank to legend with M0s. Based on rank it means everyone is trying to get better equipment than others at their rank. Playing by rank means if you quit a battle, you increased in xp but not crystals, which will hurt you over time...which is good. It rewards players who stick around through the tougher battles to reap the reward

Ok maybe ranks can a factor, just not a main factor, that should be to the m levels of the player.

I wrote a song about MMS and it expresses my deep feelings about it:

 

Today is gonna be the day 

That MMS will finally load

By now you should've somehow

Finally gotten your tank to hit the road

I don't believe that anybody 

Can get MMS to load, anymore

 

TO, the word is on the street

That you are a dying game

I'm sure you heard it all before 

And you thought the game was really lame

I don't belive that anybody

Can get MMS to load, anymore

 

And all the load times are infinity

And all the developers care about is money

There are many things that I 

Would like to say about the devs but I get censored

 

Because maybe, MMS will finally freaking load

But after all, MMS is as slow as a toad

 

Today was gonna be the day

But MMS will never load

By now you should've somehow 

Realized what not to do

I don't believe that anybody

Can get MMS to load, anymore

 

And all the load times are infinity

And all the developers care about is money

There are many things that I 

Would like to say about the devs but I get censored

 

I said maybe, MMS will finally freaking load

But after all, MMS is as slow as a toad

 

I said maybe, MMS will finally freaking load

But after all, MMS is as slow as a toad

 

I said maybe, MMS will finally freaking load

But after all, MMS is as slow as a toad

But after all, MMS is as slow as a toad

You have too much time on your hands :ph34r:

He was doing while waiting for MMS :ph34r:

 

Some of that poems true, some of its not... but it made me laugh.

[Pyre 3,485]

 Now, about the poem, no, what you say about the devs cannot be censored.

 

Certain things will be, like inappropriate language and baseless insults.

[Guest]

Now... the MM load times depend on when and in which region you are playing in, and your internet connection. The devs are doing all they can to improve MM load times. Now, about the poem, no, what you say about the devs cannot be censored. Feel free to say whatever you want as long as it goes with the rules.

Nice verses though. :ph34r: But yes, MM can sometimes be slow, but that's just how it is. :mellow: Try entering a battle in a few minutes or hours, it should be fine, as stated in the first sentence of this post. Or check your internet connection.

But, I do find this topic unnecessary, as it doesn't help anybody, and really isn't talking about the game.

Yesterday, right after the server update, MMS average wait times were 3 minutes (as seen from screenshot in op) and the MMS never loaded for 2 hours. I spent that quality time writing this quality song.

 

Yes, that's why I said if it's against the rules.

 

Both of those examples fall under Insults/Profanity

The mods do censor anything that breaks The Rules but they can also censor anything that they feel is wrong. For example, I started a thread as a campaign for me to become the EN CM for 2019 and the mods quickly shot that one down.

I'd like to see some matchmaking memes, it would go well with this.  :P

In my opinion matchmaking is too short, 8 min isn't long enough for a serious battle.

Besides, somehow, the amount of players in each team are always unequal to eachother, making the battles unfair. Resulting in only 10% of nice battles.

 

Sometimes, battles are so unfair, matchmaking doesn't allow players to join the weaker team... ending up in a battle 4 vs 8 or something. Why just not cancel that battle immediately then?

 

I would advise to make battles 12 min. The first two minutes are to join (so you start 10 vs 10) and to change equipment in the garage.

Ok, you can play less battles, but they will be more fair and probably a lot more fun.

I agree.

 

They've shortened the battles so much to accommodate players that really have no attention span.

Today was better for me than previous days, I had 2 unbalanced battles at the beginning, but then the battles were more even, I had to quickly quit some hopeless battles of course.

 

Here we have stronger players in the enemy team (some with Premium) and weaker players in my team (no Premium). We lost badly...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I ended up with the stronger team, and look what happened. I had to spawn kill to because of Finish Top 3 missions and Challenge. I hope none in the other team has trown her/his computers from the window. If it wasn't because the mission pressures I usually don't participate in spawn killings, I would just run around collecting supplies. 2 Premium users per team.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And at the end I had another somewhat unbalanced battle, some on the other team were doing some spawn killing making some of my team mates leave while we were defending against attackers assisted with an Isida. Luckily two of my team mates were smart players and we manage to defend, then with luck at the end we scored a goal. The enemy had 2 Premium user, my team none.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I talk about Premium as an indicator of who may be buyers, and this because I think Tanki could try to balance MM battles by allocating equal number of buyers to each team.

 

I'm not posting about my mid rank accounts because those were close battles.

I can not join any battle! I dont know why?!

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Anyone else got sent to the same map twice or more?

[wolverine848 13,097]

You mean when you hit 'continue' button after a battle ends to avoid going back to main lobby?

 

Yup - been happening more frequently lately.  Kind of goofy considering there are supposed to be > 30 maps available.

[Me0w_XP 523]

It sucks. Im sorry.
