match making 2.0

greetings all.

I’m lvl 75 which I did as a ground pounder.

I just spent 25 mins waiting to play as a pred, np for me as I’m listerning to my new warhammer 40k audio book ‘Garro Legion of one’.

but 25 mins… come on this needs to get sorted otherwise when I get to 100 this game is dead.!

ps…

why can’t we dodge or roll and peek around courners ?

Its cause everyone wants to be pred. I know I do. I think the only solution would be to add xenomorphs in the game. Then people would be split between pred and xeno. I honestly cant think of anything that would make it better to play human though. Maybe if they got some cooler stuff? Idk man.

As far as I see it, the fireteam feels hella generic. Kinda boring.

adding bugs is a defo…:)

They should just make random pred in a party like friday the 13th.

Yes. would defnitly sort the que issue, but then ppl would leave if not being the predator or being one,

Yes, the big issue the patch addressed was the underpowered Predator, so right now everyone is eager to see how the patch impact that. So, you’re going to get a flood of people (rightfully) looking to test it out.

As it was, the Predator queue times could already range from 5-15 minutes, so the next couple of days are going to see an up-swing from even that, I suspect.

As Predator is my jam, this means I’m going to be spending a lot more time Alt+Tabbing to YouTube or my e-Reader. I’m not going to sit and stare at a blank screen for half an hour. Don’t have time for that.

Yes, players dropping at the start of a match for not getting killer already happened often enough in F13. The advantage there was that even if one or two people left, you could still have a party of 5-6 survivors and the match could still go on. With an FT of only 4 players, if 1 or 2 FT’s leave a match, it’s pretty much over before it even begins.

So, I don’t think it’s a viable option in this case.

increase the amount of fireteam players? But then the predator would be pretty outmatched unless they scale down the firedmg based on how many alive. That way more ft players get in matches, and should decrease que time of preddy! Longer matches with more AI and objectives. Make the match last longer too… I would not mind that as a predator, no fun waiting que 10 minutes only to get either facestomped 3 minutes in or kill the ft team

Or maybe im just crazy about that option :P

Increasing the size of the FT would require a lot of tweaks. To AI, to Predator balance, to the mission structure and to a lot of the underlying systems.

I’m not saying it’s a bad idea in concept. It worked for F13. But I think the game would take a lot of work to accommodate it because it has been currently designed around the 4 v 1 and I don’t think it’s work that would be focused in the areas where the game most needs it right now.

Was always just 6 minutes max for me and when it went over that I refreshed the quick match which worked pretty well

Nah, maybe not now. But they could maybe work on it to release it as a 2.0 in some time maybe? I dunno… Some devs do make drastic changes with their games, while others dont…

All i hope for the future of this game is that they dont lose their license like they did with F13…
