Matchmaking Is OFFICIALLY Broken

[Culfinrandir]

lol , the problem of the matchmaking is certainly the lack of players.
SE can certainly fix this but it will make queue longer.
After player will complain about the queue.

Indeed, & the lack of players currently is due to a highly toxic environment punctuated with cheaters & obnoxious elites. It's a continuous downward spiral I'm afraid.

At least censor the names before you do that.

At least censor the names before you do that.

Honestly I dont' get this "censor all the name" policy while you are just normally playing, there wasn't even the salty "GG" at the end or things like that :/

Because if it involves people's damage dealt, SE has implemented a "don't ask don't tell" policy pretty much. If you posted someone's nudes, SE wouldn't care as much as if you posted someone's DPS numbers.

IMO they need to matchmake the DDs by 'damage-done/kills-average'. Because 1 silver healer (soon to be bronze it seems) does not equate 2 bronze DDs, SE.
Also why is there no just-for-fun 4v4 unranked?

I disagree with that "so politically correct" policy because it passed from "avoid to flame people even if they are not doing exactly the right thing" (I agree with this part, bcause this is anyway a game) to "OMG make me a ghost, no one have to know where I was or what I did/said", in a MMO anyway someone wil lsee you, you have to deal with it, and if you can't handle it even in a game, I'm worried about how much privacy those people demand in the real life XD
(I'm not talking about you, I think you just explained the SE policy)
Actually until people don't use that numbers to flame or demotivate players I don't see any issue.
I beg pardon for the off topic >.<

I think for the fear of queue splitting, actually if you que for more than 1 pvp content it seems that DF crap a lot (from personal experience, maybe I'm wrong)
I think that if DF see you queued for a content, try to put you in the istance that is waiting longer to pop, in order to avoid dead queues,
but for people that que more than 1 content this mean that you haven't an higher chance to get a pop, instead you wil lbe used to fill the longer one x)
If this wouldn't happen I would really like to see a mode like that!

Honestly. i stopped playing once i got my mount, I reached silver then.
The amount of people who

1. Suck & Don't take any advice i.e "Please focus X player than X, Or. Pick up medals i already have X stack on me, then scream at me for not picking up any more medals.
2. O! M! G! That player is so godly. GeeGee we lost.
3. Omfg f'in noobs. i give up.
4. X player Screams high and low that every other team mate sucks. Ends up with less DMG than the PLD.

Should i continue ?

Greetings,

The matching system for the Feast is currently working as intended. Yoshi-P touched on how matching for the Feast is handled in a previous post.

PvP Ratings and Matchmaking

We also received a lot of feedback regarding the rating and matchmaking systems. In particular, many of you were worried about being matched with opponents of a significantly higher or lower rank. I touched on this issue briefly during the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXVIII, when I explained how we had intentionally expanded the matchmaking range for the preseason so that players could take part in more matches.

Patch 3.26 will see the start of Season One, and at that time we will be changing the matchmaking algorithm to ensure that you are more likely to be matched with player in the same or an adjacent tier, and only within a range of three tiers (For example, a match might include players from the bronze, silver, and gold tiers only).

However, as this will increase matchmaking times, we are currently debating whether or not we should expand the range of eligible players if a given period of time passes without finding enough participants. At the moment, we do not wish to utilize this solution, as ideally we would like all matches to be held within the same tier. We are considering our options for Season Two, and would like to hear your thoughts on the matter.

We are also planning to make several adjustments to the rating system so that, when in a lower tier, a player’s PvP rating will increase by a larger amount when they win a match, and decrease by a smaller amount when they lose a match. This will make it easier for players to advance to higher tiers, and make it harder for them to be demoted.

With that said, while we cannot promise any changes, we have relayed your feedback to the dev. team to see if further adjustments can be made to the matchmaking system so that players at similar tiers are matched better.
