Now, I have recieved a confirmation, that there will be a compensation amounting to 24 hours of premium license, for all of our pilots! We are sorry for the inconvenience caused and are doing our utmost to fix the problem!
Wow, I’m shocked, in a good way. Respect.
I haven’t noticed the same issue regarding PvE. Perhaps those affected could shift their focus to that game mode for the time being?
I have, and even if not I came here and paid real money to shoot at people in this amazing game, not really interested in PvE except when I need credits.
I have wanted the option to select a server region for a long time, and I’m thrilled by it’s arrival. In lower tiers, having a latency of around 160ms is surviveable. In T4/T5 combat, however, that sort of thing can get you killed in a hurry. As of yet, I have not felt the need to specify a server region. Leaving my menu option on “Any” has not affected me negatively. I have played all my games today on North American servers. Recently, my queue times have been much better. On some occasions, (maybe 1 in 10) the queue is instant. Otherwise, I typically only have to wait approxomately 2 minutes. This, of course is when I am flying solo. If I squad up with other T4’s, queue times jump up to around the 4 minute mark again.
This.
I am prepared to disagree with those who say matchmaking is broken. I have currently in my hangar two R10 ships with synergy levels of 5 and 6, and two R11 ships with synergy levels of 3 and 5. If I enter into a small battle (i.e. 3-5 ships on either side) I will find myself matched against opponents with similar stuff in their hangars. If I make it into a larger battle though, I typically find 2 - 5 players on each side with comparable T4 ships, while the rest of each teams’ ranks are filled by T3’s. What the advanced players do with their advantage is entirely up to them. Some of them have T3’s in their hangars as well, so I would assume they are trying to earn synergy on those ships in order to unlock something better.
It is (was? I havent played yet today) broken. As far as the opponents I’m getting, its great. Unfortunately I found less than 5 games yesterday although my ships found dozens. But I lost no real money because they gave me 24 hour license so its all good. :)wt
