 Patch notes when?

 

[BlatMan 656]

They added a 1 second delay to the ready up function. Press K, wait 1 second, then your character name turns green. It used to be instant.

 

EDIT:

 

And now missions are not starting. Been ready for about 20 minutes in a 40v40 district.

 

Missions do not start when a group member is afk. Little Orbit manage to impress me with the randomt things they manage to break.

probably the new matchmaking system that doesn't allow unopposed missions
 

ol' matterscatter made a cryptic tweet today about phase 1 of the next big feature

 

phase 1 is apparently to just straight up lie to the playerbase about the patch, so we're off to a great start

As many players have noticed, the new matchmaking system is in fact in and word is slowly spreading, I would assume that this is some sort of soft-launch that doesn't commit to anything in case the system breaks due to conditions that simply weren't able to be tested on OTW due to the limited amount of players and the fact that it has its own skill rating server meaning that your live threat/mmr does not carry over.

 

I doubt the intend here is to lie to players but rather not say the new matchmaking is here to then have players return to the game just for the matchmaking patch having to be reverted because of issues.

Well, if the matchmaking system is back, its time to start play missions again ...

I've been waiting almost 2 days with error code 8

[BlatMan 656]

Well whatever they did, they made matchmaking worse.

 

- Rarely starts a mission with a group of 4.

- Can't start a mission with an AFK group member.

- Matchmaking by threat is still terrible. Got plenty of 3 golds vs 3 silvers. One mission was 3 golds vs 2 silvers and 1 green.

- It takes about a second to ready up, sometimes longer. This leads to group members attempting to ready up twice and canceling it, because they think the first key press didn't register.

- There's still the problem with random contact rewards not being unlocked when winning a mission, due to Joker tickets overriding the random rewards.

There's no more unopposed missions so this is rather normal as you would also wait for extended periods when playing in groups of 4 under the old system.

Wanting that to be possible is reasonable and good feedback.

Whilst the second example is questionable, the first one isn't unreasonable if the silvers are close to gold and the golds are close to silver in terms of their hidden MMR. Unless there's huge gaps in visible threat its best not to focus on it.

The system was moved to work on the world server rather than on the individual district meaning that latency now plays a bigger factor, if your latency to the world server is high, readying up might take a second.

This is kinda unrelated to Matchmaking itself but has gotten worse now that unopposed missions are gone so they defo need to take a look at that.

Can't say this is my experience, I'm a very high MMR gold player and I still get matches and they also feel much more balanced because the system no longer considers me against 2/3 silvers a valid match.

Edited February 4 by Frosi

[BlatMan 656]

It's impossible for me to know if a match is balanced because I don't know the exact threat values. However, I was near max threat when we had the 1-10 threat colors, and have been gold since then. Same story with the players I was grouped with. It's highly unlikely us 3 golds are close in threat to 3 silvers.

What I find questionable, it's the fact  for some reason you totally forgot about the green player in the contest . . .
