how to earn 100 point if you enter late in battle?

Is this a trick question?  I fear a trap... :ph34r:

Can I know which of them is a bad update?

1. Battle time has been reduced to 7 min. So far, since the beginning of the matchmaking crap, I have NEVER entered a battle with more than 7 min left on the game! The average battle time left was 5 min. I take it now we will enter with about 1 min left and we will not even have time to get out of the spawn killing zone. And if you have the wrong combo for the map, because with matchmaking we do not know on what crappy map we will get dumped and 90% of the time we have the wrong combo, good luck getting in to the garage in time. For some reason, it takes over 2 min to get in and change equipment. And don't tell me to get better internet connection!

 

2. I never understood the need to wait 5 min or even 3 min to change equipment. I think 1 min is more reasonable.

 

 

So proportion of time in battle to time waiting reduces, so actually LESS TIME in battle across, say, an hour.

 

As well as waiting, there's 3 really annoying glitches (at least in Flash client):
- Progress bar shows loading but never starts. Resolution, restart Tanki
- Finish battle but cannot start a new one. Resolution, restart Tanki_
- "Sorry an error has occurred. Restart"

 

Please increase battle time by letting us get into battle quicker, stay there for longer and start new battles in same session rather than futzing around changing parameters.

 

Appreciated :)

Nah, that would make too much sense and we know that the people at Tanki do not know how to spell "sense" let alone comprehend it.

i hate the shorter game format.

if the shorter game format is going to be a thing can you make it so you can go to the garage more often and  faster  

the garage is painfully slow

New massacre map doesn't look too bad. Except it may be a bit crowded now.

Lol 30 points for CP. So it can end in like 3 minutes.

 

 

Equipment changes in battles

 

Due to the reduced battle length, the minimum wait time of 5mins between equipment changes in battle is also being revised. The time is being reduced to 3 minutes.

And what about Challenges. The minimum score to earn one star is 90 or 95. But you set this up when battles were 8 or 9 minutes long. Now they are 7 minutes long. And we still need near 100 score to get 1 star.

 

You should revise that too and reduce the minimum score to 65 or 70.

New Massacre has more lag. Still has invisible catches and "walls."

Oh. I was expecting a house or houses to be on top of the hills on the sides as well.

I don't know if it depends on ranks but in this battle I see score of 76 and 80 give Stars.

 

 

I think it should be 50, because you may not get a lot of points if you enter late or you are with the wrong team.

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

The minimum score requirement seems to be 70 now.

7 Minutes battle...really?

The comebacks are not possible now....the game gets over as soon as the enemy caps the first flag or scores the first goal...only one overdrive can be used effectively (apart from the nuclear box and the second overdrive is ready for use just seconds away of the battle ends). For more competitiveness the duration should be 10 minute or more because 2 minutes usually gets wasted in the process of joining the battle because of matchmaking or changing equipments so currently the effective time for playing is barely 5 minutes. Atleast for me it has ruined all the fun as this system will not even allow the battle mods to even take any action against mults/sabotage as it s not possible to report, keep check, moderate and punish on the bases 1-2 minutes of spectating.

Yes, i got 1 star for having 70 score

yay now the vulcans can camp behind the houses. :D

[Senski 8]

Ha, ha, ha ... soon the Matchmaking games will be 1 minute :lol:

[Nicola_M 1,563]

 

Ha, ha, ha ... soon the Matchmaking games will be 1 minute :lol:

 

Once those vulcans start camping behind the houses and you can't leave your base, you'll be praying for 1 minute battles. :lol:

it a normal question which I guess devs skip :P

I don't like the changes to the massacre map. Even though the craters didn't do much to hide in, it added a challenge to the game which wasn't there in other maps. Driving through the craters was hard without flipping, if you were going fast, but it was fun having them there because of that. And you could dodge people's shots while in there it was just hard.

 

Is the next change gonna be to make it completely flat and add buildings throughout the map, making it exactly the same as every other map? Because that is the direction this update is going.

every update is in the wrong way. All players choices are reduced. In the past we could chose terrain, chose time of the game played, have a choice in opponents rank in a  battle you d like to play and so on. Now few maps are available, friends are difficult to follow, make a battle is long gone and fun of the game the same. it is sad to see that less and less players are joining

Battles are now too short. It's hard to earn a big score.

 

You need at least 90 points to be eligible for a star, so if you finish a battle with less than 90 points you don't get any stars. That makes it more difficult for players to earn stars to complete the second challenge.

 

Please change matchmaking battles to 10 minutes like it was at the beginning. You can set a matchmaking checkpoint, so when the timer does down by 5 minutes, players earn their current stars, and earn the next set of stars when they finish the battle.
