New Match System Put to the Test

A first look at the game changing UI.

Thank you so much to all the players who took part in our testing.  We had 81 players who put having fun on hold to make sure we could test the new match system.

As they can all attest, this was hardcore testing with 351 separate queues recorded. That’s 216 pilots and 398 gunners and engineers.

On a positive note the matchmaker took an average of 17 seconds to put a player into lobby even when there was only a max of 30 players in queue at one time.

Follow the jump to see what was tested and what’s changing! Continue reading “New Match System Put to the Test”
