Hello everyone,
I use this thread to address a major problem I have with Dirty Bomb at the moment. I joined because a friend invited me and I had quite some fun, so I invited 2 more people to join the game. It was nice, untill:
We could not build up games together. First we tried to play some objective games, but we could not join in one queue. The only way we figured out was to follow one by one one person which was on any server. That was not satisfying: Often the server was full, we were not able to join the same team (however playing against each other has it’s own value as well, naturally) or the game was almost over - which leads to new team matches and maps again, which was not in our interest, at least the way it happened.
Of course ranked games were an option. But quite a disappointment when we had to realize that a queue with 3 or 4 people was not possible. But finally we gathered 5 people a few days later. We had 4 matches - I do better not talk about how much time the matching alone consumed - and 3 of them in a row against another team, which pwnd us. They were clearly superior in skill - which is okay, but should not happen in a matchmaking game three times in a row (the sense of matchmaking is to match players with somehow the same skill level to make balanced gameplay possible). We also had other games which were inbalanced as well, and even if the game was in our favor, dominating another team isn’t that satisfying either.
Playing alone is sometimes fun - but not the real fun.
I hope the possibility to play with premades will be changed in the future - for the better.
