Problems with matchmaking
Milevan Faent:
I wonder how many people remember that half the reason we have matchmaking is because Lobbies of Icarus sucked, and the other half is because we need it to expand to the PS4 (which as far as I know is still in the works).

Never thought lobbies of Icarus sucked....needed some improvements which I think they could have accomplished simply with the captain recommended load outs and the new leveling system like they have. But Lobbies of Icarus is one of the things that makes me come back to this game every single day. It is the only game that has such personal interactions that people actually make friends and I'm not meaning just gaming friends. People have created "in real life" friends with other players in this community. The lobbies is what has allowed for such interactions...the timed lobbies has stunted that and I have suggested making timed lobbies a select able preference like the swap lobbies is(was).
As far as expanding to the PS4...Is it still in the works? haven't heard anything about that for a while now. Also, I much rather have co-op or adventure mode come out before we expand to other platforms.

AFAIK they have the PS4 devkits, but co-op was taking priority. This was back in like April though so who knows how it's changed.
Anyways, it was almost general consensus that the lobby wait times were the biggest problem in the game, and I can probably find about three trillion posts complaining about Lobbies of Icarus. Matchmaking (stop calling it MM btw, you should know that's a clan by now D:) was a method to fix that.

This is why I suggest the timed lobbies as a select able preference. Not everyone complained about them and frankly I found the highest amounts of complaints coming from the newer players. If they were select able like the swap lobby function then players that wanted a fast game could simply select for timed lobbies and players that maybe having a good time with friends, talking strategy, playing clan vs clan, or any other random discussion that maybe taking more than the times lobby can simply have a lobbied not timed.
And yes since April...which was a while ago. It's more a curiosity than anything if this is still happening, since I'll still play on my PC.
And YES - MM is a clan and makes me think that every time I read that!

I actually did, several times. Pointed out what (in my feeling) is wrong and if I had an idea - how to fix it.
--- Quote from: Mezhu on October 28, 2014, 06:50:36 am ---I don't disagree with the points you make, I've written my opinions on the same issues quite a few times as well- I just despise the model post that you and many others are so eager to copy-paste every new patch: 'I will delete game'.

Firstly - generalizing is always wrong :P (there's a trick in this sentence)
Secondly - when asked about comparison between 1.3.7 and 1.3.8 I said, truthfuly, that the flaws that 1.3.7 was acceptable (for me) and still didn't prevent me from having joy from game where flaws of 1.3.8 were so big that (in my opinion) game is barely playable. Then I moved to what I described above.
I also wrote that because of current changes I may not be a part of community soon (which I can base on the amount of time I played before 1.3.8 and after 1.3.8 )

The fact you've played the game for however long you have doesn't entitle you to determining its' development goals and standards. You can share your opinion, as does everyone else, and it probably does have a higher impact than that of a relatively newer player. However, expecting the developers to instantly go by it simply because you said so isn't just plain arrogant, it's stupid.

Oh, this is just silly. Not going to comment this further.

In some cases it failed even to do that, not speaking about issues I've been adressing this whole time and extinct game sizes and modes.
Although I fully agree on not calling matchmaking "MM".
