Predator Queue Times & PM Rewards?

#1

I’d like to propose a remedy for long QUICK MATCH QUEUE Times;

  • Reduce XP gain from Private lobbies.
  • Reduce Veritanium Gain fom Private lobbies.

As many will be coming to this NEW game with fresh accounts, it’s extremely tempting to go into a PM (Private Match) to farm XP and Veritanium for that easy level up.
I believe that is one of the major issues with extremely long queue times in PHG, and it’s due to a huge portion of the population wanting to;

  • Play as the Predator (because he is AWESOME so of course why not)
  • and Players Farming XP/Veritanium SOLO/Group as Fire Team in Private Match (which is an exploit in my eyes)

For ex; If 10,000 players are on at the same time, 5000 want to play as predator & 5000 want to play FT, (which is very forgiving number given the fact almost everyone wants to play Predator)
MATH TIME PEOPLE, don’t worry i did it for you already. If all 10k players hit QM at the same time. Those 5000 FT players equal out to 1250 Games, meaning only 1250 Predators that hit QM will get into a game.
The other 3750 Predators now have to wait in line to find a game that can go anywhere between 5 minutes to 30+ Minutes.
Every Predator needs 4-FT players to equal 1 game.

Ifa bigger portion of the community is ONLY playing Private Match then you are killing the QM community and you are killing this game… just saying.
Reducing Rewards in PM will encourage more players to play QM meaning lesser QM queue times.

Besides how many multi-players grant you REWARDs for playing in Private Matches VS games that do not? Not many at all in comparison.

WHY THOUGH?
I’ll tell you why, your suppose to earn your rank through the MULTI-PLAYER, you know the mode that connects you to other random players in the world?(which you can still play with your friends as a fire team)…

Not hiding away in Private match abusing an exploit that hinders the communities ability to get into a QUICK MATCH game.

Private game has a place though.
It’s a good place to PLAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS to have FUN or the challenge of hunting a team that you know is coordinated, but if you and your group is only playing PM, then how are you helping with the queue times? How are you helping this community and why should you be rewarded for it?
Why are you even playing an ONLINE MULTIPLAYER game if your gonna pretty much be OFFLINE from the world (practically is an offline mode if your not in a QM)

Im not saying at all to remove PM, I recommend a XP & Veritanium reduction to push those who need to level up to engage the Quick Match mode.
Where rewards are handed out fairly.

My first post was flagged and ILLfonic has not yet gotten back to me.
So as this gets flag because alot of these players will be tilted at this thread.
I will be reposting this over and over and over and over until it is acknowledged.

So please, share your thoughts,
Please keep it civil, as rude or snide comments are not constructive criticism and offer nothing to the thread.
Happy Hunting everyone!
Thanks for reading.

Flagged once again… gg

They need to leave private lobbies alone, and greatly increase the veritanium available in public mission areas.

Also, the predator should get the same amount of veritanium that the FT member had when they get a long claim. This would encourage predators to wait until later in the round to go for claims and to get more honorable kills.

Private match must produce no reward. Its basics.

Private lobbies are killing the normal q population, undeniable fact. It needs to be limited a bit

The word is propose …

What do you think about increasing the odds of finding mythic items in the loot crates while matchmaking?
THe crunch of it to me feels like there should be an increased odds. but sadly not.

#6

You stop getting the free loot crates once you are level 100 and must then purchase them all with Veritanium going forward.

I’d be worried that some players would ruin the game for FT because they’re going into public matches to farm V. They’ll just run around to all the spots they know V appears and not do the mission or help the team. They get to keep their V even if they die so there’s really no reason not to if it means getting significant progress over a private match.

Players should not be rewarded for playing in Private Matches.
That has always been thing for the simple fact that developers want you to be engaged in their muliplayer playing with other people…

Private Match has a place in the world.
For fun, for practice and learning, testing, and of course accepting challenges.
but thats it.
If you only play private game, thanks for helping kill off this games Quick Match queue times for other predators, scumbags.

I doing a YT series on 100 Crates.
already at Ep 7 which is 700 crates, no mythics and still going.
Currently i have enough for about 500 more crates.
We need to see whats the chances of getting a mythic because if you dont get at least 1 mythic in 1000 crates then this game is fucked… completely 100% fucked.

#10

I hope you aren’t right…but it feels like it.
2500 for a duplicate was one thing I found that was profoundly mythic for no purpose other than a duplicate shader!

But if it worked in any predictable way, this probably would prove to be an issue regardless. WAY too hard to get a mythic.

#11

Okay, then double the V reward if you escape or kill the predator. Then, you have a reason to survive and keep your team alive to help you complete the mission.

I love it

There’s no reason to decrease xp or V. Your level isn’t a skill level, it’s only a wall to unlock items. What good would decreasing V do for the game? If someone wants to spend hours farming V in private, let them. Who cares, it doesn’t affect anything.

Its not that its that some ppl are obsessed with reasons they think matchmaking is fkd. But a huge problem with wait times in this game is that Lobbies can glitch out and lock up. I joined a lobby where there was only 2 ft players, and after we did that match, I had asked them how long were they waiting before I showed up, they told me 20 minutes.

So it’s not that everyone is wanting to play pred or they are in private matches.
Removing rewards from private matches would maybe help like Dravend thinks in a very small way. Not enough to make a difference.

#15

Agree to disagree.
I believe it will help a great deal.
Still private game shouldn’t have rewards.
Very little mp games reward you for playing in private. This is true.
It shouldn’t be any different in this game.

I’m a bit indifferent on that, even though I’ve kind of grown used to it through out the years, no rewards in private matches. So that for me is whatever. But you see where I’m coming from about it not being the main issue with wait times?

Imagine if they had not readied up, lord knows how long the three of us would have just been there waiting for 2 more ft to join.

Since I’m not a programmer I cant even begin to explain why lobbies lock up like that.
