So... where did all the min 10 servers go?

(melancholyMural) #1

I remember back a couple patches ago. I would get queued into min 10 servers around 75% of the time (via quickjoin). Nowadays, I get min 10 servers around 10% of the time. What’s with SD’s coding yo? I don’t always wanna play with/against scrubs. Just sayin.

Cause the experienced players are kinda leaving due to the late release of the anticheat system so the min level 10 servers are pretty much empty that’s why quick join puts you in regular noob pubs. I do hope they come back though.

Quick Join has always seemed unreliable to me, every single time I’ve used it it has put me in an empty lobby, it’s a flaw but sort of minor. I’ve always preferred a server browse anyway since it allows me to see who is in the match(And on occasion avoid servers that have specific people in them)… downside to browser is it’s so cluttered, it could really use some filters for things like minimum level, region host(i.e. block servers in EU, ASIA, AUS, because they are not going to be for me), as well as password protected, and empty servers.

At least in .eu, in the first week, they were ok. But as they did a double-xp-weekend just after the new lvl10-servers were presented, they were nearly instant flooded by beginners (and some lvl1s which bug-vise joined em), which led to the same smart people as before and mostly harder-to-kill enemies in the bad view (which you remember all of the time…).
So imo people stopped using the quickjoin, and even probably left the game with all those cheaters around, and they died out?
Dunno, the last weeks, to say, I always got quickjoined to an empty server (min-lvl10 I guess?), and i took ages to get it rollin.

But they are still there, autojoin seems to work again after last patch, but doesn’t put you on a min-lvl10 necessarily, so probably it was just luck getting put on one directly after the patch?

Stop using Quick Join and just filter your server results, saves a ton of headaches. Always have a coin toss as to whether you get thrown into an 8v8 or a Min 10, easier to spend a few seconds browsing.

i cant find any at all anymore. it really hurts the long term enjoyment of the game.

They should be there, but keep in mind that quickjoin tries to not put you in empty servers (the only time it happens is if it took too long to determine the right server and people left in the mean time).
Likewise, if you set the “show only servers with people playing/not full” you will hardly ever see min 10 servers, because they tend to be either empty or full 90% of the time.

Serverbrowser - show empty. Hop into one, wait a minute and things should fill up.

Min 10 servers are the most frustrating fun.

Just took out all filters and looked in the browser, we got…
Asia, Australia and South America got 3 objective and 3 stopwatch, US-West 5, US-East 7, and Europe got 10 of both. 5 Players on _all_of them atm.

Problem is, even if you force-join one through the browser, and someone else joines (with only one player on it, also most likely through the browser…), it will still take half a map to get it filled up and running, because the more populated servers are prioritized.

I still don’t get it why none of the filters want to work in my game.

(D'@athi) #11

Mhm you got all the gamemodes selected (or at least objective/stopwatch)?
Rest of the selections unchecked, ping not sorting out any servers?
Then it’s …
+“min level 10” +“eu”
(or +“asia”, +“us - e” or whatever your region is)

If this doesn’t work, dunno.

Only reason I’m not on min 10 servers is because they take ages to fill up. Cba playing 3v3 games.

Its this, when I want to play, I want to just hop in and play, I shouldn’t be asked or forced to wait around for 10+ minutes to get a game going on on a min 10 server.
