Matchmaking

[carraxes 5]

Hello devs. do you plan to bring back old matchmaking system? because it's really annoying for me that the game chooses the map. when I want to play in small map with medium range turret the game enters me in large map, and there're maps that I dont like to play ,so it would be good if I can choose what map and mode I want to play.  

Thanks.

I agree, they will not change it back. But I'm pretty sure it's for a different reason than above.

 

Tanki has lost so many players that they can't dedicate as many servers (or as much bandwidth) as they used to for as many maps as they once had available.

By limiting the number of maps, it funnels all the remaining players into predetermined maps--the ones they still use.

 

You'd be waiting forever for enough players to join your game with the old system, so this means less maps.

(Remember when you used to be able to make your own map? Yeah, those days are loooong gone.)

 

It's unfortunate because I personally liked skyscraper, but that one isn't available anymore.

Most likely no,
The reason the entire structure of the Matchmaking system was changed was because players kept playing the same map/format everyday. So to try to change that, this format was made. Reversion of updates is not possible as well.
