Changes in matchmaking and account authentication

[theFiringHand 21,351]

 

Tankers!

 

With the server restart at 02:00 UTC tomorrow, March 15, a new update will be released in the game. The changes include Google authorization for your Tanki browser version account, and fixes to how groups work in matchmaking.

 

Groups

 

Recently, we’ve been observing frequent cases of sabotage using groups. As you know, a group always fights against another group. But unscrupulous tankers began to exploit this mechanism, deliberately seeking a situation where a group of inactive tankers fell on the opposing team.

 

In this update, we're going to make matchmaking changes that should prevent this exploit from being used.

 

Authorization Changes

 

Many players have been unhappy about the fact that accounts registered through the Google service on Android cannot log into the browser version of the game.

 

Now we have the solution! Authorization via Google is now available in the browser version of the game.

 

Click on the G + icon when entering the game, select the desired Google account and continue playing.

 

You can also register via Google in the browser version, and then continue to play on your Android device from the same game account.

 

Important: After you log in to the browser version of the game through your Google account, go to the settings on the Account tab and set the password. The password is still required for authorization on the forum, help portal and the “Gender Wars” website.

 

Enter the game tomorrow, try all the updates and be sure to share your opinion in the comments.

well one good thing might come out of this . no more team battles , for now.

 

for the google account thing will hold out and see what its about.

 

 

 

OMG just realized that in the future if the CM wants to play in live stream battles with players it will now have to be done only in Pro battles .. in the past knives would take a certain amount of players as in a team to MM battles..

 

please feel free to correct me on this I really would like to know if this now has changed ??

You should Make  group for 4 people , or even more , not gonna ask for more because you will not make for more players

but 4 would be enough in my opinion

I said that MM is multable, many times, from the beginning or even before MM was implemented. I and others tried to detail the issues, but you didn't care and mods just deleted our moved our complaints.

 

I'm not sure if your solution, whatever it is, will work, but let's see. I can also think of another way to exploit the MM system using Groups, this to be one of the top ranks in my team.

 

There are fewer and fewer players even in PRO battles now, that I think you need to fix PRO battles, fixing battle fund distribution there and maybe making PRO battles free could make PRO battles an alternative for honest Friends to play as groups there, while putting more limits to, or removing Groups in MM. Some custom battles could still need a pass.

 

You said that Groups fight other Groups, does that mean there are no random players in a Group vs Group battle? That is hard to believe. How about for transparency you let us now who is part of a group and who is not?

I think they just didn't explain it properly. I have noticed that if one team starts off with a group, the other team also starts off with a group, and the rest of the players from each team are usually random. 

 

For the sake of knowing, it would be nice to see players that are in a group, with maybe a little sign or something next to their name.

I suggested that Groups be tagged in battles just like clans.   That post was buried somewhere...

But Groups is still a big problem even if there's no cheating involved. Groups can play coordinated battles and that makes a big difference in battles. And when one team starts to get ahead in the score a group on the other team will likely quit, living the battle in a Group vs Noobs situation. Edited March 14, 2019 by lssimo

okaaay...

 

My point was only that tagging Groups would enable transparency.  We would see that groups are (or are not) only in battles when other groups are present.  I'm talking about first half of the battle.  Can't do anything about players leaving.

[Nicola_M 1,563]

Great news.  Does that mean it'll be the end of seeing things like this:

 

 

because that was a battle-killer.

I thought they were either a clan or a group, as it's too coincidental to find four players all with the same hull, same turret, same paint and all coordinated enough to loop around the flag.

I'm lucky if I can find two players on my team with enough intelligence to move their tank.

I want transparency too, but transparency in a broken system could be counterproductive.

 

If I join a battle and I see two groups in the other team and none in my team I would likely leave. That would be good for me and other players, but bad for the game and bad for some other players.

 

I think Tanki needs to separate friends and Groups from random players to have a more balanced system.

 

MM for randoms would be good for loners, casuals and mobile players.

 

Then there could be MM for Groups and Friends, where there could even be groups of 4 players and where Friends could join automatically. If there's a group of 4 players in one team and there's no other group of 4 for the other team, the system could compensate with 2 groups of 3 players on the other team, this as an example in how to balance.
