@Stona_WT There has also been serious “rubber banding” ball issues all day today. Not just me, but my entire team, every match, every person I have played with. They are seeing the exact same behavior and laggy ball issues that I am seeing. Meaning, it is not on my end, not my internet connection, not my computer etc. It is happening server side.
If you could please pass on a message to the devs requesting that they take a look at how the Tank Football servers are doing and if the servers need to be restarted and/or more bandwidth added etc it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you o7
@Stona_WT What is the reason for the time slots in this event? I know its been this way for a while but players in other time zones (Japanese for example) cant play enough to get the titles while working a normal 9-5 job. Ideally the event should have more time slots, or just be open for the entire event duration so everyone has a fair chance at these unique rewards.
I accidentally deleted this as soon as i posted it, and it wont let me post again because its too similar to what i deleted so hopefully this is enough…
And no improvement on the lag issues today. I’m about ready to just quit the football tournament here. Impossible to play when I can’t even see where the server “thinks” the ball is.
I got bored and did a linear equation system of the leaderboard numbers and used the Gaussian elimination method. If my math (and the tools i used) is correct then:
Victories has a 3x multiplier, matches played gives zero and the goals/assists/saves are just added up as is.
I feel like this mode has not been really modified since its first iteration, it would be very nice if Newtons laws were applicable in this game as opposed to whatever the ball feels like at that particular moment as countless times ive hit the ball head on only for it to well either have no reaction or really some form of other reaction that makes really no sense
There needs a serious revamp of the bracket advance system. It’s rewarding guys who just spam more games (and thus have more numerical stats) rather than how well you play, efficiency, or win rates. God forbid I dared to touch grass for 2 hours today or have a job.
I have a 90% win rate today but I’m seriously going to ‘lose’ and get knocked to the lower bracket just because the other league players have spammed more games since this morning and just won’t stop? That’s absolutely crazy to me.
In this remarkable event, the 3 most powerful scoring tactics are, in order of increasing effectiveness:
Play with a squad for 1-2 periods per day without losing at all - ~100 wins per day;
Join a match and immediately leave, earning victories and phantom assists (a defeat costs nothing, those who have left at the very beginning, even if another player joins in their place, are given 3 points for a victory) - ~ 300 matches per period, that’s 150 wins;
Connect alternative accounts and get points without any resistance at all - 30 “matches”, each with 15+ actions
This order is based on the fact that the aforementioned bot user has already beaten join/leave tactics in the finals, and right now I’m witnessing the superiority of join/leave tactics over my own - just winning for 11 hours doesn’t work anymore (by the way, playing 3x3 and 4x4+ as a squad is equally effective, because 3x3 accumulates wins faster - that’s the only moment where there are no questions about balance).
In the current conditions, “showing off skills and tactics” simply doesn’t work - why play and try to win if you can, without appearing on the football field at all, get points extremely effectively?
I urge the developers to ban the bot users and report this publicly, as well as limit the effectiveness of the tactics of mindless join/leave from the match (for example, make players lose points for defeat, and also do not award those who leave the match early any points for victory). I do not urge you to ban and take away titles from those who use join/leave tactics, as its presence is only a consequence of the problem with the balance of the event.
The current system, which forces you to play 11+ hours a day for several days to get a title, is already imperfect, but let’s at least make it encouraging to play to the end and try to win.
The Russian-speaking community of football players has also heard about these problems of the event and hopes for a fix to come as soon as possible.
Do not start witch hunts and do not name and shame.
If someone is breaking the rules then report them the correct way.
There has to be a correct report made, using the in-game complaint system or the server replay function (depending on what issue is being reported), for the team to be able to do anything. A guide on how to create a correct report for each issue can be found here: (How to properly report players and contact Game Masters!). Please note that some issues cannot be reported using the in-game complaint system as the reports won’t contain the necessary logs to investigate.
