Valid Fix Matchmaking battles by choosing players through GS

[DEVlL 80]

Currently, I've been getting put in a lot of battles against legends. And playing with m3s against m4s who have 50% protection can get extremely annoying. Matching people based on their equipment/gear score rather than their rank would make for much more competitive and fun battles than the current system, and the wait times would not see a big change.

Interesting idea, personally I feel like this will deal with the modification dilemma to a large extent, but there are many exceptions. A high GS doesn't necessarily always mean better modified equipment. Most of the users I've seen have a high GS mainly from opening container paints, yet their actual tank modifications and modules are quite weak compared to their rank. This however, happens in few cases, if not rare.

Paints barely contribute to GS, it's all in the equipment and supplies.

A legend could use M0s and then get matched against Recruits. Even if there was a way to prevent them from switching to their M4s upon entering the battle, it would still be unfair.

I thought it was a great idea, till what Pyre said XD

Unless a garage restriction was in place that prevents any equipment that would add too much to the GS and bring it over the "GS-limit" for the battle.

Very nice idea! I think it is a great idea. I face to players who have a full m4 garage with fully upgraded drones, 5k batteries and so on... Still, I finish first some DM battles with 6000 GS against players who have 9000 GS. I can't imagine what would happen if MM was matching according to GSs.

 

But I am not sure if it would work well since there aren't many players in this game. I think tanki should bring some new players. They should increase the number of active players from 20k to 50k first, which would actually run the MM battles well.

Personally, I think that once the M1 becomes available the M0s are locked. Later, if you decide to use that M0 turret, you have to buy the M? available for your rank.

But skilled Legends who have been playing for years would still have a major advantage over guys who just started.

Skillwise, yes. But the equipment will be even.

Or simply make a non-crappy number for equipment like HULL-TURRET SCORE

+1 great idea. Definitely should not be purely off of GS... but it should 50% rank, 50% GS. But then again, TO has so few players playing it right now that the MMS will never be able to find you a battle with these requirements.

Legendary paints add only 39 GS.

Thank you for correcting me, mostly me being ignorant by not testing it out in the first place  :D

Simply enough I'm tired of being pounded by M4s and M3 buyers, either make it based on GS (like overall based off what is in the person's garage not what they have equipped. they'd probably have to disable Supplies and Paints effecting GS to make this fair so people who just got a couple good paints and a ton of drugs from earned containers don't get paired with buyers) or narrow the damned rank limits for battles, seriously it's rediculous how unbalanced MM is compared to how good it was when we could just pick and choose what battles we played

Topic Merged.

my gs is around 6000 max which means I could be placed against nooby warrant officer 4s who stole their mommies' credit cards, to legends with stock m3s. I don't think that said warrant officers would like this though because they'd finally be playing a fair match. but yeah the matching system shouldn't be just based on current gs, but max gs instead to prevent legends playing against m1s

No please don’t do this because ill be put against other drugers :(

GS is determined by items equipped correct?

 

I've got some m0 items in my garage.  Who will I play if I equip my m0 items and plain green paint?

Nothing to stop me switching equipment in the garage once battle started.

i thought this was already how matchmaking worked

I think it's by items owned

Your GS score changes depending on what you equip.  Look at your score now.  Then go ahead and equip your lowest items. Watch your score change.

that's...dumb

it basically replaced the ability to see M-levels and MUs on enemies equipment.

 

Not sure why they did it since it tells us basically nothing.

 

But, since you can double or half your score by switching equipment, it should never be used for placement in MM battles.

read my more recent post about basing it on max gs, not current.

[loginci 877]

This was suggested before as I remember but I couldn't find it. So, if the topic is still active, feel free to merge this with it.

 

So, it would be really good and maybe remove most pay2win features from the game if we were matching according to our GSs.

 

4000-6000/7000 GS in one group

 

7000+ in one group

 

Wouldn't it be good?

 

And also changing during the game should not be allowed, and if you say that we should use our equipments according to the map, there's also a solution to this, which is seeing the map we will play.

 

Or another solution is that you won't be able to increase your GS higher than 7000 if you joined a 4000-7000 GS battle.

 

I don't know how much is that possible but still a nice idea IMO.
