Previous match making was much better

[MrsJoker 3]

Previous match making was much better we had some fair matches  but now the game is again unplayable for silvers , in what sense silvers get missions vs group full of golds all the time when there are many other silvers in the opposite faction , they go against golds and we go against golds instead of being matched  against each other

the escalating period was nearly fair , most of the time we had missions silvers vs silvers and problem was solved , what happened now , why we are back to this unfair system again ?

Hello, we've been experiencing issues with the new Matchmaking system which has forced us to revert to the old Matchmaking temporarily. We're going to be deploying a fix for the issue very soon at which point we will return to the new matchmaking system again.

I agree,cross matching was working fine. This morning I was matched 1v1 with someone who was using a cheat and it was a horrible experience. Matches are not fun when there are few players. Should be minimum 4v4 

[MACKxBOLAN 461]

games always been lower threat v golds, since desegregation. 

LO has zero respect for legits. Very little reward for playing in general cash wise. 

Barely break even after paying for ammo and car spawns. Cars you bought n paid for. 

I'm not interested in their golds insults and the whole 'whos gold n who's bronze crap. 

Ya want me to feed your toxic golds and non gold toxic name callers, you give me perm gold, 

1 million cash per character, and additional 10 thousand per mission after. 

   Due to it being mostly toxic haters in dist, you should also remove D chat. 

chat should only be avail for teams and groups.

 But I know you won't, so on goes the idiocy and character assassination by cheaters.

ah i could go on, but I'll just get more ugly about it.

To be fair there is an easy fix. Altho annoying, you can always re-log, i usually do, when i see unfair match wheres silvers vs golds, i just disconnect. 
You'll be able to save some time because most missions drags on.
Unfortunately you have to do that couple of times before you get a fair match where you can have some fun.

That 'fix' should not be necessary. I get your point and I believe you just meant it for fun rather than actually re-log 2-3 times to get a fair mission?

Hint: Use your cars/civi cars if possible to prevent costs. Ensure you use a gas station when possible. (People don't generally break cars that don't have a spawner or mobile tower in it either hint hint)

 

Well, considering segregation forced half the playerbase into gold, then handed them off into quad stacked cheater groups which made entire servers lose 50% of their population within 3 months, yeah that's going to happen. It was like that pre-seg, except districts had no threat, and there was a population to sustain it.

 

I've carried R20-40silvers to gold, it's sadly really easy to get, and much harder to lose. I dunno how you flux between gold and silver kek.

I believe he is the one with terrible WiFi. I expected more of you than to tease someone considering you used to play with like 17 fps and have first hand experience being hardware limited, you know how fair and fun the game can be under such circumstances. And the game itself has gotten only harder with the ever shrinking population. Most people playing this are hardened veterans with years of experience and usually good hardware to back them up. Back when you struggled a lot of people had terrible PCs that were having a hard time with this unoptimized game and playing on cheap $10 mouse was the norm, Now even modern midrange PCs can get decent enough performance and almost everyone is flying flagship Razer or Logitec mice. Nowadays  I've seen "silvers" that play with the same abilites of what mid golds used to look like. I've seen my friends that used to be perma gold drop to high silver with how strong some of the opposition is.
