I truly inderstand you need to beta test your matchmaking system because it definitely sucks b**ls and last night (6th of March) it took all fun out of playing DB.
Matchmaking:
- It is not possible to play together with friends (no party mode) PRIO 1!!!
- Matchmaking takes forever
- In the end the matchmaked teams are really uneven, the few times we managed to get into the same server with my friends we ran over the other team even with only two people working as a team, says a lot of what your algorithm have achieved so far!
- Please make it possible to switch team in a game even in matchmaking - I am quite sure we are a few that want to play a balanced game and I will definitely change team to level an unbalanced match! Don’t be surprised if you learn a thing or two from this when you evaluate this beta period.
On the point of balancing and uneven mercs
- Keep the Shotgun, but have it behave more like a shotgun (short distance = Heavy damage, Long distance = Low damage due to scatter)
Your film on DB “Don’t be a Dick” didn’t make any difference - there are several dicks playing the game not contributing to teamplay whatsoever
Last beta you rewarded us with a full Saturday of Casúal play. That was very much appreciated!!!
DO IT, DO IT NOW!!
For my part, matchmaking will result in me logging a lot less hours of playing DB - I simply don’t find it fun, only frustrating and I will surely look around and find something more to my taste if there isn’t significant change in the parts above.
