When exactly do you need Group chat? In the lobby you can send private messages or just talk publicly, adding it while the battle is loading would cause serious bugs, and in battles team chat can suffice.

but you can't send private messages to 2 persons at once and I believe the group members should all read eachothers messages in a special chat window exept if it was something private between 2

Oh, I see.

How do you tell people to go on to the General Chat? That's the main reason. It would be available at the same time as General, but you are automatically notified if there are new messages, just like clan chat.

I got a good idea include more maps rather than just literally "the worst maps of the game" it'll be epic if we can play MM in Noise and Deck-9 etc

Maps that only favor one type of turret . . . great idea. I hope you like it when it rains Magnum shells on Noise.

That was just an example, admit it you want to complete your missions in Garder, Arena, Atra etc

One of the purposes of MM was to stop players from doing this, so these sort of maps won’t ever be added.

Idk what's the problem of these maps... maybe Arena is too small but how about Garder, Berlin? why don't we see them in MM? soon everyone will get bored of Tanki specially active players cuz they play in the same 7-10 maps everyday and they won't be active anymore!

Neither Garder nor Berlin are suitable for 8v8, which is the MM standard. Garder is too small and Berlin is too large.

8 vs 8 on Berlin is fine.  I've played 4 vs 4 in the past.  Imagine - having a bit of tactics... :o

 

Skylark needs to be added. 

 

Too many "mosh-pit" maps at present. 

Especially in DM.  Spawning with 3 tanks around (behind you!) is just stupid.

How about random equipment from your garage during MM? It would be cool to try out a combo you're not familiar with

What's the point? - since you can just equip any items you have not used in a while manually.

 

Plus ... I have a couple m0 items in my garage.  why would I randomly want to start with any of those?

Rank range for battles

 

Anyone else getting tired of being shoveled into battles where you seem to be the lowest rank and by a good margin? I'd like to see a selectable range for the ranks you play with.  Obviously there are those that want to battle everyone regardless of rank and equipment they can open the range right out, and the rest of us plebs can close it down so you only play with a couple of ranks in front...

Nah. In Pro-Battle mode yes.

[moshkinstein 142]

The matchmaking is unacceptable with most games not balanced. To be honest it is one of the reasons I have lost my love for the game. 

 

I don't find it acceptable to include a General who is going to be M2 facing Legends where many are M4 and have more supplies.

 

Then you have Marshall who will finally able to buy a basic M3, but still will find it difficult against the M4 Legends.

 

Maybe Commander and Generalissmo can be included with the Legends. 

 

I am not here to make funds for the opposition who may have a stronger side as they have more Legends. 

 

If you insist include lower ranks with Legends, try and make sure both sides are equal strength. 

 

I have taken plenty of screen shots showing how bad the Match Making is. 

 

 

[Aunty_Entity 245]

I see the matchmaking algorithm is still somewhat brain dead.  If you pull out of a battle once, why would it bother trying to put you back into the same battle on the next two occasions? That has to be irritating to me, and the team its still putting me into. 

 

It need to pop a flag on battles you've been in and left so you don't get fed straight back in for another go, and perhaps not be quite so scared to start a somewhat underpopulated battle.

To keep you on your toes? Remind you how the plebs live? Nope I don't really have a good reason. :)

If MM puts me in a battle on the losing team and the score gap is as wide as the Grand Canyon, I'll quit. I read in the forum someplace that if you wait 10 to 15 seconds to log into that same battle mode, chances are you won't be put into the same battle. But to make sure, I just pick another battle mode, then go back to the original mode I was in. 

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Even though I have an m3 combo now. I will still support this because there are many players at my rank range who still have m2s. And they should be facing other players with the same equipment level.

[Aunty_Entity 245]

Not a big problem for me, since I am rank, so I play with 's all of the time. When I was a lower rank several years ago, or on some of my other long gone accounts, yes, I would get tired of being put against 's all of the time. It's part of the game, just get used to the 'features'. :)

 

8/10

 

I don't even bother playing with Gizmos or LegEnds its just a waste of time even on LegEnd Aunty....

 

But at brig when you're playing a group and you're obviously the lowest rank there, everyone seems to hone in on you.  Maybe its the timing I play, maybe I'm just unlucky, but I seem to end up in that position quite often.  Between that and being fed straight back into a battle you've just left, its enough to make you cry in your beer

My Alt is a brigadier and has experienced this a lot too. 

A few steps from being able to upgrade past m2 10/10 and facing modules 40%+ all the time.

 

This is a huge part of what is broken with MatchMaker.  Facing enemies 2-3 ranks higher is not unexpected in a game like this.  But 6-8 ranks is just dumb. 

 

There is no sense of fairness in the game.  The "Fun Factor" is really not there.

6 to 8 ranks? More like 11 to 17 ranks.

I've never joined a group and my alt was still getting placed in battles with players many ranks above me.

 

Kinda makes completing some of those missions impossible.

 

As has been said over-and-over again - the rank-spread in MM is way too large.  It borders on stupidity.

[Aunty_Entity 245]

created by gibbering <fill in your favourite expletive> to infuriate the rest of us :( I think half of its problem is it doesn't have enough of the right battles to put people in
