i actually use it a lot, but thanks for the tip :) the estimated time is correct mostly, but then it times out on “connecting” and starts again.
conclusion: i really hope they fix this asap. so we can all shoot each other brains out ;)
unbearable wait times as the predator

It is a Dev issue but it’s also a player based issue. This whole game is a team effort between the players and the developers. I’m my opinion, they shouldve postponed the release of the game because of how many bugs and problems there are but they didn’t. And though this game has a lot of problems, a lot of people have been waitin for a Predator game like this so now its also up to players to help make it better. This game has potential, and the developers need to make a lot of fixes, I’m just saying some of it isn’t all on them

I 100% agree, but due to the fact that pred queue times are longer (wich is totally normal), this impacts pred players more. timing out after 30 seconds feels different then timing out after 5-8 minutes.
a lot of these thread are actually complaining about this “timeout” phenomenon, but a lot of times its written rather cryptically:) the example of 18 minutes, in the first post, is actually a timeout issue…

“I’m just saying some of it isn’t all on them”, almost a 1:1 quote of what people said during Evolve. I’m not going to sugarcoat it this time. Evolve was my favorite game of all time, it died because the developers refused to listen and kept making stubborn choices. They even managed to release a FTP variation of the game, that could literally not make any money. Even if you wanted to pay, for Evolve Stage 2, you couldn’t.
As in legit: what where they thinking?
And you cannot create a game in which it’s 1 vs 4 and the player playing by himself gets killed because of stupid shit in the map, gameplay flaws and unresponsive mechanics that get stuck between animations. I mean. You can’t do this and expect to survive this industry. Especially if you have the balls to ask for 40 euro’s.
40 euro’s for 1 gamemode and 3 maps. With the gameplay being this raw and untested.

Definitely, and I’m going to put this tip out there because it works for me and I hope it works for all of you. If the timer runs a min more then the estimated time and it still says matchmaking. Just cancel and try again. Any time I didn’t, I wait anywhere from 15 mins to 26 mins and still never found a match Whereas if you just cancel and start over it resets the whole process and Gives you another shot not to timeout. I know it sucks waiting the 5-6 mins all over again but it’s better than 20 mins
Loved evole 2 man, a big part of the dead of evolve was people didnt “understand” the game.
The level 2 monster dome fights were just stupid!
If you are canceling your queue, your actually doing a abort from your side and it’s pertty much the same as a timeout from the server, because you put yourself at the end of the queue again instead of the server.
The developers are making changes. I get what your saying and that’s unfortunate. But this game is still fresh, I don’t even think a month old if I’m correct and it takes time to fix code. Don’t get wrong. I hope they don’t make stubborn choices but they are working with us players. Just need a little patience
The true death was the lack of support. They updated the game every 3 months because of console update payments (25k per update). If your game isn’t balance and you can only release balance updates every 3 months, that broke more stuff than it fixed…
I played Evolve in ESL for a while. The meta was much too restrictive and there were only two viable monsters for a very long time. And honestly, in ESL stage 2 fights were very common and recommended. As hunters you really wanted to break half his health already in stage 1.
But the publisher behind the studio that made Evolve asked them to do things that were received very sour by the public. And after two months the learning curve was so high you couldn’t play Evolve casually either.
And Predator will become much like that as well. In 3 months time Predator players will be so good that new fireteam members will barely enjoy playing with other randoms.
The teamplay as hunters in evolve was way more complicated then FT teamplay. but i agree with you. Same counts for rainbow six tho… and still people are playing/buyin it.
Then stop (maining) pred play FT for once
Playerbase: Rainbow Six >>> Predator
If you have a lot of noobs, you can throw them together. If you don’t have enough players, you have to throw everyone together. You can’t be picky and let them set filters, they won’t ever find a game with a normal ping.

lets just hope they fix these game breaking issues before it is dead, because if they fix this… the playerbase will grow fast.

Only if Youtubers have their back and they spend a bit on marketing.
Hunt: Showdown almost died, but they chose to invest heavily in a few Youtubers who kept talking about the game. The playerbase isn’t insanely high, but it’s still climbing. Almost a year after release. A game with 2 gamemodes and 2 maps. But a lot more replay-ability.
you play hunt? its just out on ps4 and i really enjoy that game.
havent played it since the last patch tho. but was planning to try out the fast shooting repeater perk very soon :)
I’m a only prestige 5, but was top 10 leaderboards with kills on quickplay
That double barrel shotgun and uppercut (with fanning) combo is just a beauty
P5 as well, but on PC. Played since release, got a little verbal with my old teammates at one point so I only play now and then.

had the same thing with a friend, but it was me beeing a ass… Already met a lot of fun players in that game.
I see people mention Evolve’s matchmaking.
Well guess what, the players were mostly the problem there as well, being entitled. ‘I only want to be monster’, ‘I only play support or I dc’, blablabla.
The players were the problem there and I see the same behaviour here. Stop being a selfish entitled brat.
I still play Evolve btw, ps4 since beta. <3
If every connect attempt would result in a game… people would understand and dont bitch about it.
I get your point of view, but dont look at the players like selfish brats and look at the real connection problem. This is the thing that gets people frustrated, not the estimated 5-7 miute queue…
I cant tell you how frustrating it is to be unable to play as a predator and end up in a full lobby without predator…
