Feedback and Suggestions / Re: IMPORTANT - Matchmaking drives off new players

« on: February 27, 2017, 02:27:01 am »

Warning, I have no actual knowledge on how matchmaker actually works. But my guess is its set up for a larger player base. One of the issues it has is that it searches for a match and loosens settings for so long before giving up and making a new lobby. This (I think) can be solved by just making that all happen faster. Instead of waiting 2 minutes each time it loosens a setting, have it say, can't find deathmatch only game after 5 seconds, let's loosen that to include all game modes. Instead, that one decision happens after a couple minutes instead of a couple seconds. Once it goes through its checklist it should make a lobby that reflects the settings you began with. Say you set it to search for a VIP match on a Europe server 2v2. Have it make the lobby for you after it's given up searching. Idk I'm pretty bad at putting my thoughts on paper. If this makes any sense to any of you let me know, maybe expand with your own ideas.

1). New UI for future Console Support and overall its not that bad, they're improving it (new Profile Pictures were recently added along with a few other interface changes [Still need to work on the button actions... you need to hit the centre of any button to get it to work]) 

I think we've made it very clear we could care less about UI and as Swag Yolo has been saying its not a real change to the game. Nothing is actually being contributed.

7). Has no one seen the effort the design team put into the themes for all the ships? [The Valentines Theme has little bird / children sized cages on it! pretty cool!]

One theme from a few years ago is not only just another cosmetic we don't care about but its also from a few years ago. Uninterested.

2). New Weapons have been added, they're delightful in some aspects and there have been suggestions within the most recent Fireside Chat to potentially experiment with their usage in Skirmish (Praise Photos, I want that grenade launcher to kill those infernal *£!@#$%* VETERAN METAMIDION PILOTS *cough* sorry... sidetracked.. inb4 those pilots get salty...

New weapons don't matter to us unless theyre actually implemented in skirmish. Idle chatter has been happening for years but nothing ever gets done. A dev mentioning the possibility of a new gun holds no weight at this point among the community. We've heard things like this before and nothing new ever comes, they just play with mobula gun arcs and call it a day.

I love this game and i'll play it till its dead. I'd just rather it die later rather than sooner. Please do something real to skirmish.

o7 Well said soldier. I doubt change will come until Alliance is a full release and it may be too late by then. Hopefully this game can last long enough for focus to be switched to Skimrish Mode.
