Predator matchmaking is SHIT in this game!

You think it will be a big patch that includes more balance or just matchmaking?
I was gonna actually spend some hours doing Predator matches tonight and just deal with the wait times, but the match i just had convinced me otherwise. Took 12+ minutes for it to start because i waited 6min and then it did the cooldown garbage and waited another 6+. Then predator was all bugged out when i finally got into the match. Buttons wouldn’t work sometimes and then i died because i froze in some kind of skateboarding pose when i went for 2nd wind and had button commands on the screen like i was in a tree.
matchmaking should be priority 1 :) better matchmaking ==> more matches ==> more numbers ==> better view on how to ballance.
Beeing able to play should always be a prio 1 imo.

You could always take a small break from the only Pred option and help the problem by playing a match or two as FT. If everyone does that, it’ll be a lot better.

I’ve been getting the “placing => connecting => cooldown” thing as both sides recently. The last patch definitely fucked up matchmaking. Fixing this should be at the top of Illfonic’s priority list.
They need to go ahead an implement incentives for playing FT.
A line skip for every 4 games of FT you play will not only benefit those who play both the predator mains who don’t touch fireteam will have more games too because more people would be playing FT.

I cant speak about the last 2 seasons, but it has been a problem since release for a good chunk of the community. Queue would bug out after 10min and infinitely climb. Fix was to leave queue after a reasonable amount of time and requeue immediately.
Normally i do. I rarely play as Predator because of the wait times. I got the trophy for 100 FT games days ago and probably haven’t even played 20 Pred matches. I’m tired of getting worked as Pred just because i can’t get much practice in.

Yes it need to b fixed
To be completely honest. As much as I want this game to succeed and be better. This entire game is a steaming pile of shit, like honestly. How was this game released. The devs are horrible at this don’t defend these guys until they can actually and finally prove to us they can deliver a game that’s not the same texture and look as my vomit. Which at this point can almost be more appealing.
Same. I did 3 yesterday after days without playing Pred and had fun. Did well in my first two but died and won my last one. A trophy for doing 100 FT matches? I’ve done way more than that. What trophy is this?

havent had that issue, but i believe you :) heavy siege player or rather casual?
sorry for off topic and matchmaking timeout is shit idd :D
I used to be super heavy into it, but my original team has moved onto different games now, and i’m not one for trying to like new people lol.
its my all time fav game so i am pretty into siege :) i’m not saying i’m good, but i’m not horrible. Also
had the opportunity to meet a lot of peeple on that game, so i usually find 2-3 (decent) teammates. if you play on ps4, dont hesitate to add me (billibone = psn)

Its a ps4 trophy, not a Predator trophy (in case that’s what you were wondering.) Its for 100 FT quick play matches.

I am playing since the launching of the game on PS4, and today it’s the first time I’ve faced real issues finding a match.
Previously I’d get a match within 4min as a fireteam and usually could get 2 or 3 matches in a row before I have to queue for more than 8mins as fireteam…but today…in a span of 2 hours I got only 1 match with full squad.
I was placed in lobbies where I was alone as a fireteam, or we were 3 fireteams and no Predator.
Tried playing as Predator after 18min waiting got to a lobby with only 2 fireteams then after 3min they’ve left…
My real concern is:
What if it’s not matching making the issue, but rather less people playing? With all the critique surrounding the game, few maps, and now 2 weeks later replayability is no longer that appealing :(
I, for one, really like the game and I hope it can have a longer lifespan with the introduction of new content but I fear the longevity might not be achieved and this is really sad…

totaly agree. And this is easy to fix.
I have the same concern.
My hope is that a lower playerbase would result in faster machtmaking for FT’s. (to counter your argument of lower playerbase)
Maybe they are testing stuff out in the matchmaking logic? (i thinks its mostly server side logic, so they can play with it whenever they want without patching the clients)
When the machmaking issues are fixed, a lot of people will play again.
I really like this game, but have a “evolve”-flashback (loved that game also :) )
