whats up with casual MM?

(blufflord) #1

I thought they were gonna keep the server browser, but whatever i guess its for testing (it wouldn’t let me click on browser)
Naturally i have no friends, so i went to search for a game by myself in the party, and the blue progress bar slowly filled up. But then it hit 8.5 minutes, and i still wasnt in a game. WTF no-one told me this was gonna be ranked all over again. It took be literally 20 seconds before to get a game.
Why is it taking so long for me? Is it only me? wtf is going on? And according to the screen, im playing on peek hours as well (5-11pm)

I’m having the exact same issue!

(n-x) #3

Has anyone gotten into an execution match? I had 2 server errors and I think I have pressed “accept” around 20 times by now. Still no game.

(Elvisz) #4

yeah its messed up.

It’s a stress test of their new system, that’s exactly what they’re doing.

Quote from shoe. in Discord:
we’re running a matchmaking test so need everyone in there queueing right now
servers will be back online once we’re done

man come onnnnnnn, like i was ok with them fking up the disappearing trinkets and stuff. Like yea, whatever. But now i literally cant play the game. Man fuck this thing, imma go watch some silicon valley.

yeah taking away server browser kinda makes sense to see how it works if everyone used it. But first its actually got to fucking work…

(k_dot) #8

After 15 mins waiting i just exit the game. It didn’t find a game. What a surprise. GG

(SteelMailbox) #9

Don’t worry guys, atleast they are one step closer for this being fucking permanent

Forced matchmaking will be the nail in the coffin for DB.

Server Browser or GTFO.

Sorry, but with the current playerbase of few thousand, matchmaking is not a good idea. The queue times are atrocious…

(MilkyBear) #11

Apparently some things went wrong.

i was under the impression they will keep both browser and MM, but for this test day, they remove MM to allow everyone to try it as opposed to ppl opting for browser cause its less hassle.

(TheStrangerous) #13

I restarted the game many times, rebooted my system, and I’m unable to use server browser.

SD, are you purposefully blocking server browser in favor of matchmaking? Anyone has the same issue?

And thus…why this community, I will never understand.

You complain about games being unbalanced, and want matchmaking, yet we had Ranked this whole time.

Now we get forced matchmaking, and it’s frustrating cause the times are so long, and the playerbase is so low during the day.

Here’s a thought guys, accept that you will lose in a pub, it’s going to happen. For every 1 person on your team who is doing the objective there’s 2 who aren’t. No matchmaking is going to fix this, the players need education, so we need a better indepth tutorial, and more of those trials, but for each type of merc.

And the lack of a server browser will KILL what is left of this game, because not everyone wants to sit in a que, no, we want to play now and get to bed, go to work, or go to school. We got shit to do.

Stop wasting the devs time like this, and just accept that there are things YOU must change as a player. If you’re constantly losing, maybe it’s not the team.

Every pub server in every game has unbalanced and sometimes balanced matches, it’s how the online gaming ecosystem works. There’s nothing we can do about it.

But I do know, that every online game, which had forced matchmaking and dumped server browser, were more prone to dead community. coughconsolegamingcough

DB, fix this quick, or else it’s DEATH SPIRAL to you…

(blufflord) #17

Yeah pretty much agree, I’d much rather have the “unbalanced” games we had before than wait 5+ minutes for a match. I mean most of the games werent even that unbalanced, but i guess thats because i never play stopwatch? dunno.

(Chris Mullins) #18

The test has been ended early due to inforeseen issues.

As stated in the original post, Server Browser was disabled PURELY for the test to make sure there would be sufficient people playing for us to thoroughly test the system.

We’ve said looooooooooads of times that the Server Browser will still be there even when Casual Matchmaking officially goes live. Server Browser is not going anywhere.
