Current list of issues:

(heavenlyAim) #1

Hello, been playing for a bit and noticing some issues and annoying things about this game that I believe are in the realm of “need fixing before live”:

  1. Server lag (Just started happening 6/11-6/12), my hardware hasn’t changed and now after every match I either don’t get credit for the quests (should’ve had my 4 win’s a few games ago) and by the time my game finally stops saying “Refreshing account” i’m locked in and can’t do anything about my loadouts if I wanted to.

  2. Quickplay. Whatever is the current method of this needs to change. I log in, quickplay, checks 5 servers and 99% of the time I get in, fantastic. The second I leave that lobby, I will get the “Cannot find any suitable servers” even after clicking 100 times. If I quit game, log back in, viola somehow they have 5 suitable servers.

  3. Server browser. On the note above. The server browser is terrible. No search, no filter, games in Map:Lobby doesn’t tell me anything about what gametype they are playing and by the time you find one (on the unfiltered, unsearchable list) its usually full.

  4. No loadout changes outside of the game…What? People with slower computers will love this.

  5. The “Find your friends” feature seems finnicky at best. Half the time it just doesn’t work and forced to invite via steam which if you are in a public server the chance you get in is slim because after that annoyance the server is probably full.

As I am typing this I closed my game to find a quick match and now stuck on “Refreshing account”. Fun. Times.

1: its open beta for a reason… there is a huge influx of people playing the game atm…

2: never had that problem

3: are u kidding me?? filter and search feature is right above the window where u see the server list u just need to freaking click on the drop list so it appears and search is right at the top left corner of said window… The Map: Lobby tells u what game mode it is if u actually arrange the server lists by A-Z and u will know just by looking at the server above for the server u want to join…

4: i am assuming u want to be able to change loadouts without launching the game with the reason u have given. UT3 engine is CPU intensive if u have CPU from 2 gens ago the game will still run fine if u dont well what the hell are u doing playing video games.

5: U already stated the problem of the finicky issue which is full servers. Even so u cant play on the same team most of the time due to the auto balance when it kicks in.

  1. This is an issue with the number of players online. Expect it to decrease with time.

  2. Known issue with Quickplay

  3. You can filter by server name, Ping, Has Players, Has Password and game mode. You can also sort by server name, ping, game mode, number of players and map.

4.First click on barracks.
You see the three mercs at the right side of your screen?
That’s your squad.
To edit your squad, simply double left click on the merc you want to swap.
A new window appears where you select the new merc.
Now choose a loadout card for the merc and you’re done.

Locked mercs need to be unlocked before they can be used.
To unlock them, you either pay credits or real money.

5.Joining via steam is quick and easy if the player is on your friends list Shift+Tab, Click View Friends, Click the arrow by the friends name, click join game. The entire process takes about 4-5 seconds. Less if you already have it up and are waiting for a friend to find a match.

Hope this helped. :slight_smile:

I have very similar suggestions as topic author so ill just add something from myself about the matchmaking.
Quick ofc. doesn’t work for me 99% of the times but i can live with out it.
The real issue that’s killing 100% of the fun from game is unbalanced matchmaking. Usually it’s about “who get’s high lvl in team”. It’s even forgivable in normal games but in rankeds? You can’t leave because you gonna get penalty so you have to play two games where you get stomped by player 10 lvl higher than you. At this moment I entirely stopped playing this game only because of that. There were two teams of 5 lvl players including me with 1-2 6/7lvl players each team and enemy team got 15lvl player. Obviously i got mocked for suggesting the game is unfair, but at the end this 15lvl player had more than twice higher XP than his teammates. He carried the game himself, not to mention advantage of better loadout and merc comp. I’d love this game if not that thing and i would stick to it for long, but I do not like to loose and to get kicked in my balls and it became a routine.

Well there are definitely some flaws with the competitive system. My best suggestion would be to find a group you like to play with for ranked. Soloing is an option, but it honestly isn’t a very good one as solo isn’t separate from premade(which I hope they change soon).

Check out the Clan and Team recruitment section and see if any of them look right for you.

This isn’t the worst. Played in a team of only level 5-8 against level 16, 15, 10, 9 & 6. I get levels from XP will differ from a rank for matchmaking, but this match was 90 % of the time 4-5 of our players not being able to leave the spawn.
