0Pinger Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 What is more important, Region chat full of players not able to use matchmaking, making new players shy away from the game or more content. The core of any online game is being able to join a server/host, if we can't do that then we start to complain. Matchmaking does not work for 99% of the time for this event. Void anything, can't be invited or invite. So on behalf of the 7% which sounds better than 210 thousand players doesn't it DE's legal dept., fix connectivity as a priority. its that or do you want bad PR, 210k players word of mouth to friends saying this game is S#&$ as they can't join any hosts. Get the basics working then add to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanPaul7 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Where did you get 7%/210k players from? Matchmaking really must suck since I normally only see a handful of squads throughout the system. I know there's solo etc but surely not that many... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1ndraver Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 All I wanted out of this event was the shotgun mods. And because of this bug I haven't gotten a single one. And this isn't the first time this issue has happened with the whole "cannot join session" bs. I have missed a lot in the past few weeks of playing this game because of connection issues. Iam done. If this doesn't get fix, and quickly. I will not continue to play this game. If I wanted to deal with the stress of worrying if me or my team-mates are gonna stay connected, I would just play league of legends. NO. Iam done with this crap. Fix it, or start losing players.

DE don't go without mentioning 3 million accounts on any PR and the last live stream they said the current figure getting strictnat is 7%. So as the Americans say do the math Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neKroMancer Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 DE don't go without mentioning 3 million accounts on any PR and the last live stream they said the current figure getting strictnat is 7%. So as the Americans say do the math Doubtful, I think the actual number of active players is much lower than that which is pretty usual for F2P games. 7% of active players should be a lot less than 210K players. However, this is an ongoing issue than they are doing what they can do to solve it. The team that responsible for content is different team though. Just like the weapon team keep pushing new stuff out without waiting for weapon damage overhaul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magusat999 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Introducing new content shouldn't have any effect on fixing content issues - there's probably two different teams doing those tasks (or there should be). It really doesn't matter what content they introduce - it has no impact whatsoever on connection - which is something they can continue to work out no matter what else they do.

Fourdee Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) Introducing new content shouldn't have any effect on fixing content issues - there's probably two different teams doing those tasks (or there should be). It really doesn't matter what content they introduce - it has no impact whatsoever on connection - which is something they can continue to work out no matter what else they do. In the perfect world , your statement might be true. But imagine a new weapon which uses a new network function. Lets say that weapon doesnt "really" work, that new network function can then cause a huge impact on everything else. If left unchecked, that bug will stay and no doubt be added to when a new weapon comes out. The Vauban and its Vortex was added a month+ ago, yet, it can still crash the game or disconnect players. Sayn Venom, over 1000+ onscreen DPS readouts, with the above = guaranteed bad time. This is basic stuff, really is, but it seems content/money comes 1st with DE. The game needs fixing on a basic core level. Adding content requires extra programming time for setting up SFX/animation sequences/shaders etc etc. Time that the programmer could be using to "fix the game". Dedicated servers is the only way this game can go to truly resolve network issues. The PS4 version which has been "thrown into our faces" has it, why not the players who have actually funded the development of this game? But hey, at least we can help the devs by buying forma for everything! Talk about a slap in the face. Edited August 25, 2013 by Fourdee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyuxi Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 +1 I'm surprised why there aren't more players in notice or ranting about this match making issue. I personally think is one of the most urgent problem that needs to be resolved asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're looking at an active playerbase of <500k. Edited August 25, 2013 by 101blubb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
