why did they remove the DM arena?

Oh you poor innocent soul. If we told you EVERYTHING, it would shatter your belief that the developers care very well about their players feedback.

 

So let's just say that they tend to make moronic choices for the past year and a half.

I agree that the devs haven't really done a great job lately but for me personally I don't really care about DM. Moreover, it is good for the MM to have less gamemodes. The removal of DM made the MM better (or less bad you could say). But the exact idea behind removing it, I have no idea.

They removed it and then added a game mode where the gameplay is much worse. CoughSEIGEcough.

In the past, I avoided DM because of steal kills and excessive drugging, favoring a certain group of players.

DM depends way too much on luck - where you spawn.  Especially the more crowded smaller mosh-pits.

You never even had 5 seconds to orient yourself.

DM was meh at best.

All the modes are DM now, not even TDM. My favourite was DM because it was actually a mode where everyone does what they are said to. I dont see how it made matchmaking any better.

Maps like sandbox, sandal, bobruisk, and Iran should've had a player capacity of 8-12 players at most. Not 18-20.

 

That's what made DM suck for me. I was always getting spawn killed because the map had way too many players for its size.

Devs thought that the exp yield per player in these modes was too high. Frankly, all the players disagree.

That is not how devs work. If they decide to add an inadequate mode known as 'siege' they will add it regardless of game-play. As long as it does not affect devs plans to instate 'bold new changes that make Tanki look new' and that players hate, they don't mind fixing up a little game-play here or there. But if it comes to some strange invention of theirs (AKA siege), they can't let 'too many modes' get in the way. So it was not actually a replacement.

siege isn't much worse. i mean, of course, depends on the map. on bridges, it was a bloodbath, while in Rio, it was a race to the point, and finally, in HIghways, we all forgot where the point was. DM and siege... both suck
