Casual Matchmaking Test: yeah, I wasn't able to play


(raspberryPike) #1

I play in the U.S. and on Jan. 12th I was too busy to play.

Can we please either have better and separate times between U.S. and E.U. servers (which would probably be difficult to manage) or simply move the entire test to weekends? I love this game and I was so upset that I couldn’t help test matchmaking for you guys, but maybe we could change that?

Please?

It’d be nice, but I think they have it at times where they are in the office so they can monitor things the whole time. Maybe they’ll have some longer tests later on when they are more confident it won’t break down or anything.

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I love the game, and it would be cool to try, but it’s just a quick test. I don’t really mind if I don’t get to play it, because a less buggy version will be in the game soon anyways.

I know, and I thank you all for replying, but it would be more convenient, especially for a game like Dirty Bomb where it’s a small yet fun game competing with large companies and their class-based shooters.

There will be another test, but more people testing casual matchmaking will make it easier for all the workers, like poor shoe who has to talk about why the game isn’t pay to win for two weeks in a row

Well, as @TheDevouringOne said, they might be doing it for their own convenience. And of course for something like this, that would come first.
If the timing doesn’t matter, it’s also worth considering how many players would actually dislike being part of a CMM test. A player who just started playing Dirty Bomb probably doesn’t want to put up with a buggy and as of yet, mostly broken test. Or worse, have this be their first view of the game ever.
If most players don’t like the test, running them when not a lot of people are on might help avoid some of these people.

Point being, there are a lot of factors that we don’t know. Although it might be nice, it’s not necessarily as easy as having it at any time.
