Changes in battles & Massacre map

[theFiringHand 21,351]

 

Tankers!

 

Update #541 will be released in the game with the next server restart at 02:00 UTC tomorrow, February 1. Details below:

 

Matchmaking

 

Battle time reduced to 7 minutes. Battles end faster, which means you can play more battles in the same amount of time and get more rewards for them, including the stars!

 

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.

 

The change applies to all battles including PRO.

 

Changes in winning conditions for MM battles

 

Following the reduction in battle length, the winning conditions (frags, flags, points, etc.) for matchmaking battles are also being changed:

• TDM: 70 frags instead of 100;
• JGR: 50 frags instead of 100;
• ASL: 70 points instead of 100;
• DM: 30 frags instead of 50;
• CP: 30 points instead of 50;
• CTF: 5 flags instead of 7;
• RGB: 5 goals instead of 7.

 

Destroy opponents, deliver flags, score goals and move on to the next battle faster!

 

"Massacre” map

 

Following player feedback, we’ve removed the craters from the map, which weren’t very helpful for hiding from enemies, and instead added buildings on both bases and between the Central hills. These should serve as better cover.

 

We’re aware that sometimes tanks can “fall through” the map, but unfortunately this issue cannot be fixed at the present time.

 

Additionally, you can now play CTF and RGB matchmaking battles on Massacre once again.

 

Log into the game tomorrow and check out all of the changes in this update!

Interesting change. Falling through the map does happen but not too often. Hopefully, in the future it will be sorted. One thing I like is the equipment changes in battles. In pro battles, it might not be that fun especially in great battles but in MM battles it is a good change. As for pro battles, it will be a loop of changing whenever possible since you change and so will the enemy so it will be you changing, them changing, you changing which isn't that bad but not like before where if you change once and equip or use a piece of wrong equipment, it had a heavy price and in worst case even cost you to lose the battle so a mistake like that was fatal since the enemy might have protection against you which you perhaps don't, nonetheless, it is a good change for MMS.

Massacre map is the worst map from Matchmaking ... so this it is a very good update, thanks for this change!

Yet another map that had individuality becomes exactly like all the other maps...too bad, the homogenization continues.

I'm surprised they left the hills.

 

And of course they leave the CP cap-point in no-mans land...

Why not change to 30sec battles ? :ph34r:Changing 15 to 10 to 8 to 7 min ... comon , do it , change to 30 sec battles . 

Massacre was a different map , which had its own thing . Yes craters didnt do a lot for hiding , but it was tricky to drive and slowing down the gameplay as you couldnt go straight to other side . Now buildings added , will make this map like all others . not good also

[Espoir 991]

Very interesting but 30 kills in DM and 5 Flags in CTF it's maybe to easy to finish ^^ 

Such a nice update anyway  :wub:

With speed Boost I could jump across the craters, so i don't care  :P .

Anyway, what does falling across the map mean? And why buildings? The purpose of massacre is an open map (I guess)

JGR: 50 frags instead of 100

 

In the Juggernaut mode, in many battles will finishes in 3-4 minutes.

[WoundedWarrior 302]

You said Rgm instead of rgb at the end

A Good Update

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Hey there moderator folk...something to pass on to the writting staff:

 

Frag still has some pretty foul connotations.  You could use "snuff" or even "murder", but you realize these terms are too strong and could be found by many to be somewhat offensive.  Frag is definitely not as benign as "kill" and certainly no where near as non-offensive as destroy.

 

To frag someone is a reprehensible act of traitorous murder...you fragged an officer that would consistently put you and your squad in harms way needlessly during the Vietnam War.  ...mutiny but with murderous ends.  I really don't think this particular word is appropriate for a video game...especially a video game that considers a word as insipid as "stupid" a term that needs to be censored out of in-game chat. 

 

I do acknowledge that language changes over time and what was offensive in decades past takes on different connotations in modern speech, but I really don't think "frag" has gotten there yet.  At best it is just pop-slang and not part of the legitimate English lexicon.

 

 

• TDM: 70 frags instead of 100;
• JGR: 50 frags instead of 100;
• ASL: 70 points instead of 100;
• DM: 30 frags instead of 50;
• CP: 30 points instead of 50;
• CTF: 5 flags instead of 7;
• RGB: 5 goals instead of 7.

"The time is being reduced to 3 minutes." Finally :)

[tanks48 30]

Doesn't matter how much the battle time gets reduced, my game will still crash after EVERY SINGLE MATCH. But the equipment change time is nice. A pre-battle warm-up time, similar to Tanki X would be nice as now it's possible to lose a match because it was 8v2 in the beginning.

Another bad update...go on devs, keep ruining tanki ;)

Can I know which of them is a bad update? 

[wolverine848 13,097]

7 minute battles for a start.  8-minute battles did not reduce waiting times.  7 minutes won't either.

[madalien 30]

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 :)

Hmmm looks interesting.

[TaffyTank 1,890]

7 minute battles for a start.  8-minute battles did not reduce waiting times.  7 minutes won't either.

The way this game's heading, waiting times will be longer than the actual battle.

 

Ooops!!...forgot that this already happens.

[Eithern 412]

Battles are too short!! We want at least the possibility to choose between different lenght, for example 8-15-30 minutes

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

With this new update, will tanks fall through the massacre map?
