How is it, that after all this damn time, there's no lobby queueing for railjack missions?

[(PSN)Sin-Kytori]

Seriously, it's one of two QoL issues plaguing railjack missions. I can solo sorties but I cant solo a low level railjacks but I HAVE to wait 5 seconds to go into a mission but railjack just says "LOL HERE YOU GO CHAMP, HOPE YOU CAN HOLD OUT TILL SOMEONE JOINS, CHUMP!"

And it never happens. I have failed every single damn railjack mission I've hosted because exactly 0 times has anyone joined mid mission.

 

If your going to have the audacity to base events around this, FIX THE PROBLEMS IT HAS FIRST!

How is it after all this time you havent realized there is a matchmaking lobby? Hell ive only been back in the game for 5 days, railjacks only been done for one day and i already know this. Ask questions before whining about it.. free fly is a matchmake lobby

 

Edit: plus i am only mastery lvl 8 and i can easily solo the veil with my ship ive only had for 24 hours. It really isnt difficult at all lol

Post up the video, my guy. You're the greatest. You deserve to be celebrated.

The matchmaking lobby, free fly until you get some people? Its ALWAYS people who have no idea what they are doing. The matchmaking that exists for other missions on the map isnt there. But cute try tho.

As for soloing the veil, I'll believe it when I see you do it within the first 24 hours. I'm guessing you watched videos on how to do things, because clearly you didnt get instruction for the game. And even then, I think your lying. Either be constructive, or hop iff of DEs jock.

I'm still hoping for command intrinsic, people don't seem to want to stick to one thing at a time for a good amount of time which is what Railjack relies on. AI don't mind doing the same thing for a full mission.

You know what, I would absolutely love to have a 'Crew'. Specters or Cephalons that do things such as put out fires or combat boarding parties. Ones that you level up or upgrade. I'd be down for that.

Even if they did non combat roles I'd be fine with that, no reason we couldn't have the railjack be manned by AI with players responsible for keeping out boarding parties or boarding other ships. A player would only need to fly the ship, AI could do a lot of the other roles.

The best way to do railjack is with friends, clan, recruit, or generally people you trust or do it Solo with Amesha + Cyngas if your railjack is pretty squishy.

You could also wait for Command Intrinsics, but we still have no ETA on that.

Sadly, I think this is a sort of thing DE won't do unless virtually the entire community expresses the desire for it.

It's much the same issue with the marketplace. People call for auction-house style of formats where they can list their items and move on, letting it be resolved in the background. DE has responded ad infinitum that they want players to have to socialise in order to do so, which is why trading is limited to chat and enforced as an in-person thing.

Having a matchmaking lobby is more or less a parallel request to that. I do, however, agree that matchmaking lobbies are immensely important. I mean, it's 80% of the reason that Battleborn died, and the same reason that Guns of Icarus survives with a tiny playerbase. When you've got a gamemode that requires a number of people, you'll find that often people would rather play a mission/gamemode they don't normally want just for the sake of at least being able to play. People don't like sitting in infinite queues, and that's a significant reason that Conclave suffers too (although some regions and times still have peaks with plenty of players from what I hear).

With that, I'd recommend to DE that we have matchmaking lobbies, but done from 'in-person' sites. Being able to gather in a relay, or even a special room in the clan dojo, for instance, could give you a list of match types/locations that you would be happy to play, and connect you to the same instance as others who have overlapping/similar preferences. Then, they can add in more focused stats on who's doing what, so if you listed that you want to play Railjack on Saturn, maybe it can prompt you that there are X players queued for railjack, but on Earth or the Veil.

It would still give us what we want/need, but hopefully in a way DE would accept for their game.

Auction house i actually prefer it not to be in game, considering that we have no server for it anyway and it has to safe and transfer it somehow which all needs programming, etc. It would drop prices even more as they already are with people undercutting in seconds, with how it is now even with warframe.market they have to put a bit of effort in to undercut and so on.

I personally would like it yes for lazyness to not have babysit my prices and wait for trades to come in but, i think it is simply not worth there effort to programm such now.

On top of making Marross' place even more abandoned already and dojo trading stations useless, only thing i woulld like is a trading lobby really i guess considering the loading troubles in dojos at times.
