You mean regarding player count and wait time?
Wait Times?
Regarding generating profits to hire more people to create new dlc to keep players interested
It would help with brining in new players also but that would be a double edged sword as it would Increase wait times but at least you would be less likely to join a dead lobby
Then again IDK
I think I may have been driven insane by this gameš
Just waited 27 fucking minutes for a lobby only for one guy to get kicked out when it hung after the timer hit zero. Fucking piece of shit broke ass game. š¤¬
I hope next time you are crossing the street you get across safely only to trip and smash your phone on the pavement
Same. 10 minutes minimum per match
Now itās worse. 13 minutes for an empty lobby or partial lobby
I was getting anywhere from 8 minutes to 13 yesterday night.

20mins for a match where a bunch of noobs camped in a warehouse on Derailed. I killed them all - twice.

Yeah average 10 min for a match as Pred and may not even have a full lobby. Iāll try maybe 2 or 3 matches a night then get on a different game. Used to be 5 min but now I donāt have the patience or the time.
Ive read on their blog that they have fine tuned and enhanced their server capabilities. Right now, they are probably matched evenly to shortest of the short ping times. Which means if youāre not living within your match made proximities, youāll be waiting a while. HOWEVER, iām sure thats not the same as parties where the match making is dependant on who you invite.
So donāt complain that the game is brux because youāre waiting long, complain that your game isnāt popular in your region during your time of play.
But if you want to complain and make a video go right the fuck ahead and throw yourself into the ignorance abyss of bliss.
Amazing how many of us are suddenly in regions where the game isnāt popular, having not long ago been in seemingly popular regions?

Canāt be that thereās not as many players playing the game or the servers messing up nope it has to be the players fault for the game.
true. yep. otherwise if youāre experiencing 100 ms to 400 ms youāre obviously match made to some god forsaken soul outside of your country. But theyāve decided to stop that now.
I guess this is illfonics plan, next update are under the expectations that they will attract alot of people and hopefully your own server will see an influx of people.
I hope you guys understand these logicstics. They arenāt mine. im not being sarcastic or anything, im just trying to tell you what is and what is not.
By popular i mean: Your predator game is being structured to be time zone reliant on the number of FT players. So everyone wanting to play the popular predator class in your timezone is placed in the longest que times while the FT players in your region are abundant. So the more predator players, the long you have to wait as predator.
This could explain the reason why FT matchmaking is incredible fast and pred is now around 7 to 9 minutes.
But im glad you guys put this together in such a short period of time before you smash your god sex game machine and praise the digital binary vulture of sheeba.
Just waited 25 minutes with multiple restarts. Finally got connectingā¦which turned into infinite connecting. Fuck this broke trash game, itās not worth it. This is what I get for trying to come back to it š

Yesterday I had a similar thing. Kept getting the noise alerting me that a game placement was happening, then it would go straight back to connecting. Something definitely seems broken with the matchmaking side of things.

I had two match making cooldowns yesterday. Both under my est wait time. I finally canceled after 15 mins and went and played ft.
I believe they are thinkering with the servers for the upcoming update.
Just waited 20 minutes for a lobby with a few cooldowns. Finally got one. 10 seconds left a guy got kicked. 3v1. Not worth my time. Iām done with this trash fucking game. Itās deleted. @OldKingHamlet seriously dude, pass on to your development team how alienated OG players feel.

I agree with your waiting time. Itās exactly the same with me. In my opinion, waiting too long to play a predator match is really not worth anything.
Iām not just talking to you here in general:
And from my experience: I wait 15 - 20 minutes to join the game. Then, when Iām standing in the game, I find out that I play against strong noobs players who can barely orient themselves in the game but can cause fatal damage if you make small mistakes. And sometimes itās loudly commenting people in groups who have constant conversations over the mic. Etc ā¦ And I have to wait for this for 20 minutes on average ??? And then just hope that I come across the right people who are fine. And to have a good game experience. Not what I mentioned above. Itās been very common and recurring lately. For FT, I can ignore the trouble of the match, because the waiting time does not exceed 3 minutes. But for a predator + unbearable waiting times? Itās really too long a wait, and Iād rather not even mention the struggle of the fight here. That Iām starting to wonder if Iām going to stop at this game. It will run until the next update or if I donāt quit completely if this game is not fixed properly. And I will play something other than this, I would only waste time. And even:
Dear Illfonic, please
beg you and the wishes of the community listen to it more and do not be indifferent and ignorant to all of us. Otherwise, I will leave people here for this game. So far, not much has changed from you since the very beginning of this game. And youāre still quieter and unable to fix this game properly, and updates are getting worse from time to time. And you donāt talk to us too much. Instead of making improvements, there are other new bugs in the game
