Can we just get the phrase 'Its temporary on loop for posts like this?

[Verminaard]

matchmaking is being changed, read the upcoming features and so on. It's only temporarily removed, 8v8 will be back in within a month (about).

[ZoomThruPoom]

Now I hope they nerf TS until they get native voip in game and not C3.

[Zeus X]

Great nerf.

This is not a patch, this is a teamwork nerf.

I mean holy ****, so many people can jump on the forums of a BETA game and rage and whine and complain, when with 5 minutes of reading they can find that the 4 person mtachmaking groups has been announced AND promised to be a short term fix for newer players. If you were playing in good 8 man groups you would likely have been working as 2x 4man teams or such what not anyway.

This game is a SIMULATION not a FPS. It is in BETA not retail. IT IS BEING PATCHED EVERY WEEK! Like O.M.G. That simply doesn't happen. It really doesn't. PGI are working insanely hard and are being so invovled with the community it is not funny. Sure not everything is canon or perfectly balanced. Report it and wait for a reply.

Don't just whine-quit on the forums when you won't anyway.

This is phase 1 of a 3 phase Match Making upgrade and will eventually evolve into a skill based matching system.

To those who already know this, just spread the word it seems no one reads the forums outside of the time they take to complain about a problem instead of taking a moment to see if these concerns have already been addressed and talked about.

As I have said in my other fps games:

Less QQ, more Pew Pew

[Bryan Kerensky]

They should just make TDM with a respawn system and throw the PUGs there, that's what they want anyways, one man army.

Phase 1 [REDACTED ]

Phase 1 should never have been implemented EVER!!!!!!!!

Pugs are worthless, they have the console mentality of I AM OP, and can carry my team to victory BS. They do nothing but die in the first 5 min of the game.

This is horrid, and has made this game trash.

In the defense of Piranha they are doing this temporarily. Also they are doing this cause the people that don't like playing a multi-player game with other people called attention to the fact that it caused an imbalance (Unfair advantage may be the better way of putting it) in the match making. I will admit that the groups I normally run with in HHGD pug-stomp allllllllll dayyyyy lonnnnnnnng, and this isnt fun for us either. We like a challenge just like any other decent player.The game becomes repetitive and boring if you win ALL the time. (119/13 win loss ratio ... thats excessive) Now Piranha could have handled it better. Perhaps only let PUGs drop against PUGs and Premades drop against Premades? Perhaps create a lobby that lets the pugs talk to people in the room automatically? A lobby where you can assemble a team out of PUGs who want to group? So yes, they could have handled it better, but they didnt, so take an extended break from the OPEN BETA, and come back once they have re-implemented 8 man teams. For example: I dont like the way the system is at the moment either, but i know it is temporary, so i get my copy of Halo 4, disappear for a month, and come back once the system is hopefully a bit better assembled towards the way i like to play.

The way I've seen another game do this is let Solo players play in their own queue.

In a separate queue, players could make a group between 1 and 5 people for a 5 vs 5 game. This way groups could end up with something like 1x2x2 vs 1x4, 1x1x3 vs 2x3, 5 vs 5, or any variations. The people who joined with below the max group size knew what they were getting into and knew the queue would be a harder challenge for them.

I am Very upset about the Nerf To Group combat! i need to play with a team that listens and follows instructions. getting stuck with PUGs that dont know how to do anything isnt fair to us, nor can we chat with them to give instructions on targets and such (during the heat of combat)! if they are getting stomped for thinking that there health regenerates, thats not our problem! instead, how bout making group options set to fight people who are also in groups, and do free for all for free for alls!

while i played in bigger teams than 4 people over the last few days, i do not understand the whine.

I DO understand that it sucks, not to be able to play with all your comrades, but this game is about more than YOUR Clan/Unit/Team/Roster, whatever you call it.

I think, matchmaking phase 2 should have been implemented BEFORE OB, but now we have what we have and after you stomped PUGs for a while, give them a chance for a while, you will be able to fight in 'REAL' Teamwork battles afterwards, as your enemys, when you are playing in a coordinated 8 man group, will be coordinated, too.
This will give you a challenge, challenges are fun, fun is worth wayting for a few days or weeks.

This is a terrible post and you should feel ashamed. Add something more constructive if you want people to take you seriously.

hey remember this great thing they had way back when there was a msn gameing zone we played a game called mech warrior 3 we all meet in a thing called the zone and had a chat lobby and a thing called game room,s where 16 players got together and did battel work realy well for that maybe it work for this if u would just try it

[Redback]

I can not express how happy I am to be forced into grouping with random players that are afk whilst shutdown for the entire match.

It is great not being able to play with a group of friends and enjoy the community we built.

Thank you so much.

[MavRCK]

^^ I posted about this forcing to pug... I strongly disagree with it. I understand this will change in round 3... but this is many weeks of playing with friends.

The strong community is the foundation for years to come.

[oldhasu]

I have to agree with this.
Before the patch people got a freedom to chose how to play. Now they dont. Everyone is forced to play with some random dudes eaven if you have a full group of frends/clanmates/etc.
There was a huge disbalance when packs of lone wolves were forced to play against premade team 90% of time. I thought this will be fixed by tweaking a matchmaking system. Make the team full of lone wolves play against other lone wolves, make teams play aginst teams! Both sides could be happy.
