They don't need to switch them everytime they enter matchmaking. You force an auto-join to an instance (after setting your group in lobby / Social district) and sort them accordingly with the group's ELO. You re-evaluate the group's ELO after a set number of matches and transfer them to the appropriate instance of that map type if needed. Given the current active playerbase, cross-district matchmaking is a low priority.

It's a high priority but, why depend on Google for auth?

Fool's gold, nice reference.

That was golden. Worth remembering. I'm glad you never left. Reminds me of the good ol' days were forum goers requoted: 50+ times until we'd finally get one.

If wish I had a dollar everytime someone said: "this game is going to die". We'd have enough to kickstart a spiritual sequel by now.

I strongly advise everyone to play APB within the next 2 weeks. By that time, BattleEye will probably be obsolete. Are we keeping some part of FairFight? It's a good anticheat, provided the game isn't F2P and GMs know how to make full use of its logs and settings. Pretty confident LO could find settings to autoban blatant cheaters (any Shawcopters in 2018?). Manual, monthly banwaves were such a pain.
