[quote=“OmaGretel;190409”]Got into my first match after 35 minutes. Now sitting at 45 minutes and still waiting on my second match …
That one match was pretty good actually, but if I can play only 1-2 matches per hour I’d much rather go back to server browser.
Edit: Right after I posted this a match popped up. 1 player didn’t accept. Rejoining queue at 0:00. I’m done with DB until tomorrow.[/quote]
Everything got reverted back to the start about an hour after the test start.
So go and play your usual game now, if you desire to.
There is a PTS and its running tests, but you cant simulate the thousands of players of peak times. Scaling the system to life size is the problem and its done the hard way, cause theres not easy one:/[/quote]
I totally get that they need to get as much info as possible, but the system in its current state just isnt fit to be even tested in the public domain. I’ve played one game in the last hour and the balance in that game was just like any other pub game. Yes, I know its an alpha phase before that hogwash is thrown down my throat and no im not attacking the devs either but the current matchmaking system barely works, so they cant be getting that much information and data. Im a tester for ARK and yes, thats not even close to being the same but with that we have our own Teamspeak channel, we have our own discord where we get one to one with devs and give feedback directly, all in an environment that is no different from the public domain except it doesnt effect the people that just want to have a little fun. I hope once this phase is over they have some other method to test these things because this currently isnt working, like I said its not an attack on them or anyone just a recommendation for the future.[/quote]
DB all has that too. Its just that its under strict NDA. A side from the initial PTS announcement theres not much known to the outside world.
There were a lot of games going on in this test. Seems though that more did not.
We hit the dimensions where you only get your results in the scaling…[/quote]
I was unaware, is this an open application or an invite only sort of deal? Id love to help out and im familiar with the whole NDA deal. Im glad they finally have something like this because when I last was really active there was nothing of the sort or it wasnt publicly revealed.[/quote]
Invite only, but maybe you find someone if to get you in if you stick around for longer again.
