declined New experiment [Groups]

[mjmj5558 2,346]

We all know, that playing with friends is important in all games. Many players join because their friends are playing this game, so they can play together and have fun. The problem with the current group system is that you can only invite 2 friends, which is pretty low amount. My suggestion is to make a new group system:

• Maximum players: 5 
• Groups don't have to fight against groups (reason: in the current system, lower rank players in the group will most likely fight againts players that are 10-15 ranks away from them, this causes unbalanced battles)
• New group MM system (to balance the previous points): all players in the group should have  an enemy which is on the same rank or have a higher one (for example, a group of a marshal and a brigadier should have a a marshal and a brigadier at the enemy too

Because  i don't know how the groups will affect the battles, we shoulf have a new experiment to test it out, and if the team with the group have a  much better score than the enemy in most of the battles, the system should be set back to it's original form, or more changes should be made between the two teams to balance it out.

Valid

Declined

When friends play together they have an advantage because they can communicate with each other in Discord or any other platform, that alone makes the game way easier for them. If tanki were to expand the amount of players in groups, it would ruin matchmaking completely. Players who do not play in groups will lose every time they face a group of good players.

I understand why you, and maybe other players, would be happy to have the possibility to play with more friends in MM, but as I explained above, it would be unfair to many players.

[mjmj5558 2,346]

That why we need an experiment. We don't know how will this affect the balance, and the results can be suprising. Also, very few percentage of the groups are using VCs to communicate, and if they do so, they make the battle unbalanced any ways, with the current system or with the one i suggested.

Actually, HI vulcan is really popular nowdays, and you can see at least one of them in the enemy most of the time. It's not suprising if you can see more of them, and because this combo is really popular, the chance of seeing 3 single HI IB is bigger than seeing a HI IB group. Also, because more and more people get HI for at least one hull, it will be super easy to counter a 5 player group of HI IB vulcans: you just equip the hull that has heat immunity, and if you have, equip your vulcan prot too, and tada: you 0rotected yourselves from most of the enemies. Also, if the 2 suggestions that i suggested today will ve released, you don't have to be afraid of heat immunity vulcans anymore.

Groups have a giant advantage over non-groups.  And your handi-cap of having someone in the group much lower rank is not guaranteed at all.

So good luck finding another group of 5 to fight against.

If you want to play with friends do it on a computer then.  Or wait until they enable Pro-battles on mobile.

its not about just one specific combo. its about planning for multiple scenarios and having combo that complements each other, matched against randomly selected team gives them astronomical advantage.

Status updated.

The maximum number of players per group has been reduced to 3. It does not seem like the developers are planning to increase the number again, let alone by 2.

[NikmanGT 4,362]

Moreover, the stats collected from time to time may bring back it to 3, but that's a "needle in the hay" type of possibility because of the unbalanced scenarios it created, with more situations leading the group to only 2 members.
