Suggestion How to fix queue system

#1

Hello to the community, I’m new and I don’t know if it’s been already posted.

As it is now, you start to select your preference (fire team or predator) before starting the matchmaking.

IMO it could be change that first the game start the matchmaking with everyone and then pick a random person to play as a predator.

If any of the 5 players selected in the matchmaking doesn’t want to play as a predator, he/she can choose to not.

If there are 2 or more players who want to play as predator, one will be picked up randomly.

What do you think?

It would be a solution to the pairing, but I already say that these people do not even answer, do not expect them to read you, they only interested the money they already have

No way to make everyone happy combining pred/fireteam queues will make pred players leave the lobby and post on forums that they only want to play pred etc etc…

Currrently we have the separate queues where you get what you pick so the wait times are insane and people are not happy.

Loose loose situation for the pred players.

Well, in that case the Devs can put the 2 ways. One how it is now, with “long” waiting queue to play ONLY as a predator, and the other one where you can have a chance to play as it, if you want.

Not that its a bad idea but
People will fight to wait in extremely long que rather than not get to only play predator tho.

Awful idea.

If I want to play as a specific side, I want to only play as that side.
If game would put me as a FT even though I wanted to play Pred, I would be more likely to just leave the lobby and retry.
You would end up with a never ending loop of players not getting what they wanted and either trying again by leaving the lobby or just quitting the game altogether.

About your second idea… It already exists, it is called “No preference” and will put you in a lobby that is la King either one of the side.

I think its fine they way it is. You can see a all queue times and can figure out whenever you want to attempt to play as Predator or not. The only way for developers to make people stay in the game if they are forced to play either side is punish them for leaving lobby or opposite, encourage them with a bigger reward for playing undesirable side. First one may lead to people just afk if not dropping the game at all, second just not seems fair for everyone, im not sure… How is this situation solved in DBD by the way? This game seems to be pretty popular and asymmetrical as well.

After spending almost 20 mins to play as a predator I still think this is gonna be one solution.

We can have both option, do a damn long queue or get a chance to play as a predator.

Also, if you leave the matchmaking, you get a “time penality” on the next matchmaking, so there will be less people quitting if they aren’t choose to play as a predator.

I understand that sometimes a player can have things to do in real, but in that case, giving him a “time penality” on the next queue, won’t be a problem, he/she can do the things in real and then back to play.

So instead of leaving, they run around and die on purpose then afk until the match is over.

This option is literally already in the game OP, but people have the choice to opt out of it.
If your suggestion is to FORCE people to play fire team who don’t want to, all you are going to do is create DC spam. Eventually people will just uninstal the game which makes the situation worse not better.

Match making has bugs, give Illphonic time to fix them. thats the solution
