I am Ted or is it Bernard! "Had a couple so can't really remember" until the morning, or probably dinner time. I won't bash or kick you in the balls as everyone is capable of doing so and its not constructive. All of us could give you so many reasons why APB is failing so hard. Surely matchmaking should have been your top priority in bringing back the game and if you are incapable of doing so then the game is doomed. Best regards.

CaptainSloth2Guns 15 Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) 59 minutes ago, Glaciers said: the matchmaking isn’t the issue, it uses modified elo ratings to match players of similar skill just like pretty much every other pvp game the issue is is the extremely limited pool of people it has to match - there’s no way to increase that pool without either a)bumping the district pop cap up and melting the already shit servers, or b) adding a mechanic (like phasing) that allows the entire population to be used for matchmaking purposes without changing the district pop cap wow that’s really great info thanks for explaining your points so well to us non-IT folks, i really appreciate the well thought out response I'll explain this for yourself and you can hang on a tree. No coding required. You will need a brain "sigh" MATCHMAKING 3.0 no matchmaking 3.5 if we can be arsed 4.0 only if we tell you so. 21 minutes ago, Glaciers said: oh my bad, i thought we were supposed to follow your lead yeah you’ve been a real fountain of knowledge in this thread 1 post that goes further than “work on matchmaking now because i, the ‘IT guy’, say so” 21 minutes ago, Glaciers said: oh my bad, i thought we were supposed to follow your lead yeah you’ve been a real fountain of knowledge in this thread 1 post that goes further than “work on matchmaking now because i, the ‘IT guy’, say so” You are a very simple thing in life.

It's like saying they can't code in a certain engine, but we can in 3.5 lol Could you give us an explanation how you would improve matchmaking among a opposition pool of max 40 Players. Please take into consideration the 4 man premades, the solo players, the fact that at least some of your opp won't be k'd up, and others being in missions. Also remember that the clock is ticking while you try to find suitable opposition. Edited June 25, 2019 by CookiePuss 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainSloth2Guns 15 Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Did I say I can sort it? Definitely not. I do think this. It will either save or break the game.

CaptainSloth2Guns 15 Posted June 25, 2019 I'm off to sleep, the beer has run dry I will say this before I go and probably regret it as I'm putting in my 2 cents again on the apb forum for god knows why. MATCHMAKING and maybe too late. Who knows. 1 If newbies played against each other they would have fun and bring in more population. 2 if bronze, silvers, golds plus premades group up and played in a decent match making pool it would make for great fights and that's before any content updates. All you have now is high level players and newbies getting wrecked and leaving. At the moment that will not happen and needs some serious work 3.5 or not. For me it will either make or break the game. 9 hours ago, NotZombieBiscuit said: You assuming that him saying monkey was racist is more racist than him saying monkey. You racist. Yawn Merged. Sorry for being a prick. Just looked back at my comments and should have kept quiet. I'm no IT expert but do still believe in this game and hope they can turn it around. Big apologies to glaciers too. Guess I still have a big heart for APB in the end. Definitely not racist. Peace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AxeTurboAgresor 268 Posted June 25, 2019 Y, unfair matches happens some times (2silvers, 1 bronze VS 2 golds, 1 silver), and it should be defenitely fixed. No 50v50 will fix broken matchmaking, lol... Its unnecessary. But most of the times ppl are just complaining cuz matches are not balanced in their favor. 1 thing 2 say 16 word 4 you Hello my name is Kyle and Iam with IRS and I think your computer has a virus type of IT specialist.
