Please Fix Casual MM (edited)

I just tried it. Found 3 matches, each 10 seconds or less since I started searching.
The problem with it is that people don’t hit accept

@stayfreshshoe can you change the system so you don’t have to hit accept after a match was found? Since it’s not ranked there’s no need in it. But instead make an option that will give you 20 seconds to cancel the search, if nobody presses it the match will start and maybe give a penalty if you cancel 3 matches in a row or something

No, casual matchmaking does not work at all. I cannot even join a single game. By now I would have already played two games of objective, one stopwatch, and match of execution to get the daily bonuses and missions done. Instead I have only waited to see the continuous failure to find ten players per server.

The reason why DB matchmaking doesn’t work is because you do not allow few people to start a match on their own, and then allow others join to fill it up.

So yeah, I’ll return once this beta test is done.

You don’t have to hit accept, it auto times out to accepting. It’s a different issue I’m afraid.

The reason why it doesn’t work is because we’re still testing it to see what the issues are :slight_smile: If you do the latter of your suggestion you won’t have balanced matches.

been searching for a match about 20 minutes now, no luck, though ive noticed after 3-4 minutes of searching, the accept button weirds out, it appears and disappears before i have the chance to click accept, basically flashes on screen for a minute and i hear the noise and poof, back to searching, timer resets. also i have a mission for stopwatch, but no option for stopwatch in this test. (just got my first game after posting this)

Only Objective and Execution in this test. We’ll be finishing it shortly and returning DB to normal business.

@stayfreshshoe maybe its a different issue but please make it a little longer when i searsh i go and chakc fb ect ( i play in bordless mode) and when i find a match i dont even have anough time to accept so if the issue is in the auto accept then disable it and make the accept time maybe 10 or 15 sec cause now with 5 sec its pretty much impossible

@stayfreshshoe Ok here are some of the problems i have so far:

  1. I was in a squad of 3, we got a match, i hit “Accept the match”, my squad got in the server and play normally while i’m still hanging back in the lobby ???

  2. Tried solo Q, the “Accept” keep spamming my screen, it appears for 1 second and disappears several time in a row.

  3. Got a match, got into the server, but right after the countdown went to 0, i got kicked out of the server for no reason, and now i’m having a 5 minutes ban because of that.

Solution: The game said “I need to kick myself out of the squad”, is this some kind of a sick joke ???

It finally found a match after 60 min!!

Too bad can’t play now… let’s hope tonight I get more luck :frowning:

You don’t have to hit accept, it auto times out to accepting :wink:

ARE YOU KIDDING ME ???

(acrobaticBudgie) #36

First attempt took roughly 8 minutes to get into a match, then the game crashed (the match on Chapel with you, shoe.). Restarting and it’s been ok, repeated pop-ups still but the most I’ve had to wait is a minute or two.

Last match though, not sure if two players on the other team dropped out or lost their connection but it was 6 vs 4 and none of us could swap teams to even up the sides. I appreciate that could be working as intended for the sake of the test but it wasn’t much comfort to the guys with 4 on their team.

Seriously. How did you think Comp Matchmaking that didn’t work a YEAR AGO, and as far as I know, still doesn’t work, would for some reason work in an Alpha state for the original game?
Oh, and after FOUR PEOPLE WITH LESS THAN 100HP stood on my mines for less than 1% damage, I decided to quit a match (because you can’t tell the difference in 200ms hur hur), and it has the same Comp penalty message, forcing you to rejoin the game.

You literally put the miserable, failure of an idea of the COMP Matchmaking into the game…

Test or not, the fact that it was tried is saddening.

I hate matchmaking with passion. I know it’s stated that server browser will stay but im still worried the experience of people who refuse to use matchmaking might be less pleasant.

It’s for the better good. It just need to work and all problems will be solved.
