So how does a CTF battle in Match-Making get to 8 vs 5 half-way through a battle, and stay that way to the end of the battle?

 

Bring back the early battle termination for crying out loud.  These battles are completely stupid.

Remember that if people were added to the battle at that point, they would complain about entering a half-finished battle. I do think the termination should be added back so people are not dumped in battles with a few minutes left.

[Bydo 20,133]

not sure why they changed it , seeing now we get only half battles with little players in the early start of game play but near the end full teams . not right we want proper battles with full teams from start to finish. not split battles. also still seeing too many lower ranks mixed in with legends this GS system needs to go. its not working they way it works in tanki X ..

So I just got into a game late, managed to get Five kills but still got no stars. What gives?

 

 

 

guys in order to get stars you need to have 100 experience or 5 kills in a battle to get 1 star, this way there is no one just going into battles and camping and doing nothing to earn a star.

 

 

for today's real issues .. just tried to post a photo and this thing pops up. I knew this week issues were starting to happen.

A score of 90 give you one star in team modes and 6 kills in solo modes.

[Stupid_Ugly_Noob 0]

on my legend account i can't get into Jugger mode battle no matter how long i wait, been almost 45min now without any success, i have no problem with any other mode, and i have a good connection (don't blame me, fix ur god damn game).

[Bydo 20,133]

not always . been in battles and got nothing . it comes down to so many factors its hard to say if your going to get one. in Dm you need a higher amount to get one not sure why. and in CP and other team battles you get when you get 90 to 100 you could earn one. need more investigation on what level to get one .

I think you are guessing. Regardless, including times when one starts the battle, if one is on the slaughtered team, the battle may end after only about five or six minutes, one can hustle and fight and be fully active the entire time and not get 90 score. It is stupid. The criteria is stated as "active" in the battle, but some esoteric criteria is used, that you assume is 90 score, and no star award. It is crap. Stars is a bad deal.

 

I had obligations over the last week and my time online was limited, but I only had five stars on my main account, and I think 18 on my Ricosck account. Ricosck had at least three battles without stars, and I assure you I am always active, always committed to being an asset for my team.

 

The criteria of "active" is total crap. It is bogus. It is even dishonest. They need to stop stars.

 

Perhaps in future "War" events. It seems justifiable there, but even in War, they need a better criteria for withholding the star award.

You ask a lot of people, most of whom play less than four hours per week.

 

Not all players have master-level computer skills.

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

Cheaters are not defined by nationalities that is a really narrow-minded vision of the problem. If players help reporting them too, then we will catch more of them.

Yet, a big amount of hackers are russian.

 

As for reporting them, it is too much of a pain. And sometimes, you spend time uploading the video on youtube, it's clear that the player uses ignore tanks hack (going through EVERY tanks in his way to cap the flag) and then we get this lame answer "not enough proof".

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

Because the majority of players are Russian.

What is the meaning the first sentence of your post? What do you ask them? 

There is a lot to learn about computers, so this is an opportunity to learn something new.

 

I'm only asking Bydo who has at least 3 accounts 2 of fhem being legend on TO and at least one account on TX. A gronw up women who has made and posted many screenshoots.

Just so she can illustrate her claims with substance and show the dev if there is a problem.

 

 

ASL 90 minimum 

I also saw in the Tanki Picture of the Day - Have any? 

Enough screenshot to suggest that all team battle mode (TDM, CTF, CP and ASL) require a score of 90.

 

 

 

As for reporting them, it is too much of a pain. [...] then we get this lame answer "not enough proof".

As Mr facebook said it is a race. Developer are doing the anti-cheat, the hackers are improving their hack - to and fro.

On our side, as players, we can do 2 things to help and keep the cheaters number low:

* use the Vote button while in battle, 15% of the players in battle needs to do it.

* make a video and post it in the specialised section: Game Violation Reports.

will try to remember next star battle round. this week did not have time to up load scores.

had multiple times this past event where MM put me in battle too far gone to be able to get a star.

 

I really don't bother with this event.  If I get enough stars from just playing normally, then fine - I get a container.

This time round, one of my two accounts accumulated 35 stars.  So 1 container. 

Certainly not incentive to get me to play more than I normally do.

My issue is that I play Tanki Online on Kongregate. Kongregate gave the news that Tanki Online would be closing soon on Kongregate. I dislike the issue because of the status I have & what I put into it.

 

My account as it stands.

https://ratings.tankionline.com/en/user/DARAKIS-KONG?partners=1

 

If Kongregate closes Tanki Online on their site, I won't be able to access my account. It's not just me, there are other users on Kongregate with the same problem. I'm wondering if there is a way to prevent this or if there is a way around it?

Why bother with Kongregate when you can play TO on the official Tanki website?

You ask people to give you screen shots. What was unclear about what I said?

 

You ask people to prove you wrong with more effort than most are willing to expend. You ask for more effort than most put into the game overall.

 

I sometimes want to make a point and take a screen shot, but I usually just keep them for my own reference. It is difficult to get the screen shots to load here. I know it isn't that hard, but it takes time. Time I and many others don't care to expend.

If we know a solution without asking for a screenshot we'll forward it to the player. Otherwise we usually need more details and the best way of conveying those details are screenshots.

 

Bug reports without details are useless to players, moderators and developers.

It is hard for me to believe most of the cheats can't be caught.

 

I've wasted time getting an occasional player suspended. I think one got permanently banned. However, it was probably a hacked account and the hacker will scam some other poor sod out of an account, apply the cheats or play counter to the rules, and get that account suspended too.

 

It is hard to report cheaters. You can act like it ain't, but it is hard. It has proven unuseful to me. I no longer bother. Part of it is the discouraging self-destruct when accidentally running on top of another tank. That is a really stupid and useless attempt to thwart speed hacks.

 

It is hard and produces no perceivable good, so why bother?

 

About the only cheat I ever notice is a damage-reduction. I'm never sure of it, but some players seem practically indestructible under all circumstances. One time I was able to record a battle where two players had it and were totally indestructible. Both only had a couple deaths in the battle due to self-destruct. Many noticed. I was unable to follow-up on that one and determine if they were punished, but ever since, I've thought it the only common hack. It seems if it is used, it is only partial, like having a permanent double armor, and half again with an actual supplies double armor.

 

Regardless, it just has never seemed worth it. Besides, most of the complaints aren't supportable. Many complaints are more about effective supplies use than any sort of cheat or real hack.

 

So, hopefully the anticheats will get smarter and catch the cheaters. The players can't help as far as I can tell.

Sometimes I think an actual bug report is worth some extra effort. Usually, in context like Viking was asking, it just ain't worth it.

 

Viking was guessing, based on reasonable observation, but impossible to support without loads of data and screenshots, or an actual disclosure by the devs. My point is that it wasn't worth it. Trying to support a guess in a game is opposite of why people play games.

 

If the devs care about the stars, they should clearly define how to earn them and how to miss getting any in a battle. The stated criteria is "active." That is nonsense. A player can be fully engaged, active, and even contributing, and not get stars. That is my point, not whether 90 is the magic number.

My question was clear and directed to one individual. You somehow redirected to the whole community and tell them to prove me wrong. No I as asked to substantiate the claim (and in this case screenshot is clearly the right and robust way to do it).

 

In that specific case yes. Players request information about the criteria for the minimum activity to earn star. Wiki , v-log and developers are not sharing any information, consequently it is up to the willing community to find out. There is still the possibility to ignore it and carry on playing without worrying about it. Fine by me. Unfortunately some players made claims on the actual criteria leading to fantasist theories and more complaints. 

 

Is there a way to give a reasonable idea of the actual criteria (current value, those may of course be subject to change from one event to another)? Yes! Screenshots of actual battles displaying scores, kills and stars rewards. If we don't do this research work, you end up with mere gossip and myth, and still play with this pending uncertainty in the back of your head. 

 

Making screenshots and loading them as an individual is pain taking but as a community the task is easier. A group is more powerful than an individual. Plus we can all benefit from the work of the others and build knowledge and more reliable data. 

 

On other case screenshots will not suffice, a video or a full topic to gather data (such as the container prob project) would be more appropriate. In other case we will never know for sure and heated debate and exchange of opinion will persevere.

 

As a general recommendation, screenshot speaks a thousand words and are better than a text wall, so overuse them.

 

[The request has nothing to do with the contest of how you end up in the battle in the first place, so I will ignore comment about it.] 

[Bydo 20,133]

 

. Unfortunately some players made claims on the actual criteria leading to fantasist theories and more complaints. 

 

well sir prove me wrong on your star count . you can clearly see in the photo that a player with 4 stars and under 100 points got 0 stars which another who also got 4 stars but had more then  100 score got 1. like I said before the 100 or 5 kills or more  will receive a star .
