Casual Matchmaking #2 Test Suspended


(Chris Mullins) #1

Thank you to everyone who participated in this Casual Matchmaking test! Execution matches were being found swiftly, but as we were having issues with Objective searches we decided to suspend the test. We’ve re-enabled all forms of gameplay live before the test whilst we work on fixing the issues with Objective mode. We’ll let you know of future Matchmaking tests as we move forward.

Please restart your game to get back into matches as soon as possible.

2 actually enjoyable, balanced EXE-BLOODY-CUTION matches, most fun I’ve had in months in DirtyBomb ( @Kirays can confrim), even if cut offf early, great success on the event!!!

Ps. And drunk-proof UI!

to be honest im glad you have ended it its great you have people being supportive but this was awful 40 min wait to play a 4v6 then not be able to play another match, if you hadnt have ceased it i would have just given up on playing DB untill it was over

Found 1 game (execution). Need improvement for the partying, but nice for the balance.

This casual matchmaking made this game unplayable for me. I wasn’t able to join any matches for an hour… until you announced that it’s over. Plus… even if I did… I got kicked out and or glitched by the system. I seriously just dislike this feature. I like the server list in my opinion; easier to join the matches.

For server list, maybe add like… what part of the game is done? Gamer just started - midway- game is about to end?

That’ll be cool, especially when I keep joining the game at the end. It’s annoying.

Yeah, I can confirm what bontsa wrote.
The sixth player on our team was not found and yet we had an incredible close match.

I’m looking forward to the next test. :slight_smile:

oh come on, i didn’t even had a chance to try it out :frowning:


(blufflord) #10

its been doing that for a while mate. It says like “just started, in progress, ending” or words to that effect.

Opened the game to give this a 2nd chance and omg, I see a dam server browser. went to to the forums and found out it was over.

Thanking you (Fletcher).

Casual matchmaking is a joke as i feared. I guess my days on dirty bomb are close to an end.

Ach, so you’re one of those guys who would say, if they saw Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. as a toddler, swinging his hands in the air: “Yep this guy will never be a boxer”.

I am baffled how people bash a bloody test run for absolutely wrong things when it’s clearly unfinished. Criticize about that it required a full game restart to get into CMM, resulting in some people STILL playing Server Browser- based games when some had already started queing in CMM, making playerbase divided. Criticize about that Objective mode didn’t work. Give suggestions how to advertise the test-run even better so people wouldn’t be so bloody oblivious when it comes up.

No, instead call it bs because a system SD has fiddled with for some months, that is in early stages of development, didn’t work like something let’s say Blizzard or Valve has tuned for fucking years. Slow. Bloody. Clap.

@curiousInspiration it already does show where it is in the game, and that just shows that you have no idea what your talking like the other issue you stated. Matches in public games are extremely one sided and a vote to shuffle never happens, casual match making is fixing the balance
