But it doesn’t seem to be working with this game, that’s why the way they did it with Friday the 13th is a good solution.
Set the Predator as your spawn preference which will make you more likely to be selected as the Predator each public match rather than waiting and waiting and waiting.
Yea no argument there, ur absolutely right.
Nope. Like a bunch of ppl have said, it’s stupid. Let ppl choose. I understand waiting sucks.
But this late into the game it would be a horrible decision.
The solution would be to make ft cooler and more fun, but hard to do without making them too strong.
The lobby system from Friday the 13th is already available for private matches. I don’t understand why they didn’t implement it for public matches too.
This current matchmaking system is just not working out. There’s only so many times one can play cannon fodder for Pred and i sure as fuck don’t want to queue endlessly for Pred matches either.
This shit should have been addressed several patches ago. All it has accomplished is turn people away from this game and rightfully so.
I think for QM it would be beneficial for the lobby to stay open at the end instead of booting everyone. That way if you played someone you like you can quickly start the next match. Might even make some new friends along the way…
I agree, again similar to Friday the 13th — the only thing that sucked with Friday in that regard was if the host left, the lobby fell apart.
If @Courier they made the game assign a new host when the current lobby host leaves players would not be spending all this time waiting for matches. And as you said might foster friendships over time.
I wonder why the matchmaking system does not seem to scale? Isn’t there a lot of tech out there that make this trivial these days? Their matching parameters must be over complicated? Is the Pred/FT player ratio really that imbalanced to cause such a wait time? Do they really not have enough servers to accommodate?
Could be both.
The thing that makes sense is the estimated wait time. After the Samurai Predator release for me the wait time was 9–15min to get into a lobby; however, after getting into said lobby it was empty or had 1 FT member.
What doesn’t make sense is after getting to that stage, the wait time for the lobby to populate with FT members should occur quickly. But it doesn’t, for me at least, if I am placed in a “dead” lobby with 1–2 other players or empty, it never s fills up. I’ve sat there for roughly an hour in that lobby screen and nobody shows up.
Majority of the time if I see that scenario, I just quit and go back into the wait queue.
put a limit of many games you can locked as pred and put a penalty for quitter and you will see that queue times will not go over 3 min for every one
Pred queue times split in half if 2 modes exists so there would be less time passing by to get in the next match add another game mode and youll see that you get matchmakin like FT
Its all about supply and demand
We all play a unfinished game wich devs definetley know is that if they keep pushing paid dlc stuff with just a new class and weapon in it we would buy it like jackass we are … i hope illfonic is not playing with the mob cause it could went in a complete wrong direction if they keep pushing stuff as i earlier mentioned.
THIS GAME NEEDS MAPS AND MODES
That’s… not how math works. Just because you divide the playerbase on 2 modes, won’t divide the wait time by 2. Especially if you have a second game mode that has 2 predators and 2 whole fireteams (wich means 8 humans).
That has nothing to do with math more with wich mode you press button 4 queue times you are not queuing for 2 modes i guess
A new game mode would be overfilled on the first day of its release we already got it with the samurai as he came out everyone wanted to play as samurai
I guess it depends on what kind of mode it is. How many players you need on both sides.
How about offline mode we got lots of leaks last days i think that lone wolf stuff would clear many issiuse like waiting for matches and geting bored
That’s a bit of an older leak and since the ps4 trophy for playing the tutorial says something with lone wolf, it might just have been it’s placeholder name in the files. I’m a bit sceptical on that matter.
Me too but such mode or any kind of mode would bring fresh wind to the game no more FT or Pred charakters i had enough for a wile
The solution would simply be to fix matchmaking.
considering the wait times for pred it should not be possible to que as FT and end up in a lobby with no pred.
Wait 5 mins and then all ft leave to que again.
if there’s that many fucking people qued as pred then a lobby with no pred should not be possible.
And the reverse of that is true too, if I load-in as Predator and lobby isn’t full it becomes an idle dead lobby that never populates with FT members.
