Private match

([i]Skree-*) #1

Even though I really am a big fan of the implementation of private matches into our beloved Dirty Bomb I often find myself having too little friends to start a game with because sometimes you just want to have 1v1 or let’s say a 2v2.
I understand the fact that a 6 player minimum is required to have at least some flow in a match but locking it at 6 people isn’t really the way to go (at least in my oppinion).

Oh and I know it’s coming:
I know there are steam groups for finding people to play with but still sometimes you just wan’t to enjoy yourselves with people you’ve known for a while (friends) and don’t want to deal with matchmaking searching for a server/hoping for a specific map.

I just wanted to start a discussion about how it could be improved/completely changed to please everyone

The problem is that the server resources are shared between public and private matches, this means every time you start a private match it takes the slot of an actual server meaning less for everyone. If there were hundreds of 1v1s or 2v2s then there would be little to no public matches to play in. This would be a serious problem. It is an alpha feature though, they have zero plans right not to make player hosted servers for private matches but if they do it wont be around for a very very long time. Sorry about the inconvenience.
