Most players prefere arcade. If you are in a squad queued for realistic it will need some time until there are enough players for the enemy team.
Error, is it something you guys think about changing, to make premades fight premades? I sure hope so, I dont play on weekends anymore because I cannot stand to loose constantly without a chance because of being matched with premades over and over.
Well, this is my experience with less of a week playing:
Begin with initial ship and everybody was T1, then i got R2 bought a R2 ship and the same. But when i got R3 and pick a R3 ship, everybody is now a T2-R6 (and is no fun).
Then pick another faction and the same, with the T1-R1 everybody is T1 (but i see a lot of people with R3 ships), but got R3 picked the R3 ship and again all the matches are aganist T2-R6.
I suppose that the MM hate me, or thinks that I’m so good that with R3 i must fight aganist T2-R6.
I began playing less than a week ago. I dislike the matchmaking system as well. I loved the game when I was tier 1 and I faced only tier 1 people. My ship is still tier 1 and I am getting high level tier 2 players in my matches. I have been 1 shot sniped a few times. I started playing this game from a video I watched on youtube about the whole tier system and I though cool I won’t have to play vs all the really established folks. Wrong. Changing the tier like this to reduce wait times is bad because this will only result in fewer players. Increase the amount of players(advertise) to reduce load times.
Please keep the battle in the same tier. I dislike being fodder.
With the new ship roles there should be a better balance between the Tiers so the battles should not be unfair, even on T2 vs T3.
So the new patch is in and guess what - in spite of player responses to a poll just this week (or maybe last week if memory fails) the matchmaking system has been revamped - and we are NOT happy about it.
A T4 and a T2 ship should never meet, regardless of player skill differences. This is just basic common sense. Think about it: who do you think will win a fight? The Olympic fencing champion armed with a sword or some random guy off the street armed with an assault rifle? My money’s on the guy with the assault rifle.
The new system is basically like saying “Well, we have this one soldier who really sucks at being a soldier - all the other soldiers are always outperforming him by far. And we have this 12 year old track athlete who’s a regional champion. Sounds like a fair fight to me” - It’s NOT a fair fight and it just baffles the mind how anyone could think otherwise.
I really used to love this game - even though I pretty much suck at it (my win ratio’s below 1) - I’ve never complained about leftover modules from CBT, how russians supposedly have an advantage or some other xxxx like that. I just liked playing the game. But this change in the matchmaking system will probably make me switch to a similar game that’s better thought out.
My only regret is the 11 euros I pointlessly gave to the devs who though cross-tier matchmaking was a good idea.
I was owning in tier 1, but then suddenly my kills per game and win ratio started plummeting. Then I noticed it had started throwing T2 ships into my games before I was even high enough level to own one, much less afford it. I wish the matchmaking would just put you against ships the same tier. It isn’t fair having to fight a T2 with a T1.
With the new ship roles there should be a better balance between the Tiers so the battles should not be unfair, even on T2 vs T3.
Well they are unfair.
Well they are unfair.
