Im not sure, but i did join a game where all 4 of us were 513 n7 rating which was quite funny.

That's a serious lol situation.

If you guys experiencing this haven't done it, try manually updating your game through Origin.

I don't know for sure if it helped me, but it helped a couple of the others.

I'm sure it did for last night, but today things have gone back to the whole messed up matchmaking.

I tried hosting a lobby for around 45 minutes and saw the few joined going in all being rank 1100+, often enough they'd leave, and rejoin some minutes later, as if the matchmaking was dropping back into my lobby.

In all, system's still messed up and no oficial word from Bioware.

Lobbies fill up really slow since yesterday. Used to have no problem getting started on silver pugs within a minute. Players of all kinds of levels. It takes a LOT longer now, and I do noticed ending up with other people of N7 levels between 800 - 1200. (I'm @ 1000)

This was when hosting myself. When searching for random silvers, I ended up multiple times with a bunch of players whose N7 levels were about equal. One time 20-40, one time around 100, etc..

I don't care about people's N7 rating, it says absolutely nothing. And I enjoy playing with people who just get started, and give them some advice.

I sincerely hope this doesn't continue. I understand it is annoying to get N7 20's on gold, but anyone who only promotes for the weekend events can also have their weapons maxed & play well. So anything above 150-200, doesn't mean anything at all.

Like I said on the prev. page: I hate promoting. It takes away from that satisfactory feeling of getting to level 20 with a character. BioWare could have found a much better way do do this. Why not more like BF3's level-up system?

 I subscribe to this.  XBox, just got the patch today, and hosting matches with my friend takes FOREVER to find people now.

Here's the kicker: My friend is N7 120, I'm N7 1969.  The average of these is 1044.5.

The two players who - after 10 minutes - joined us?  1044 and 1045.

Yeah. I just played my first game today after only being slightly convinced that it was fixed last night.

N7~200 again. Ugh.

Maybe you should edit the title and OP so it's less confrontational-- might get BW to acknowledge it sooner if at all.

Yes, this makes a lot of sense. I was put into a game with a level 14 and a 410-ish yesterday... my N7 is 218. So I guess it really does go off of the average N7 level of the lobby.

Sure, that can be done. If you have an idea how to rephrase it so it still state the issue but seems less of an attack for the post, I'll modify the title right away.

[Meeeps]

Please please, dear bioware, get rid of this "feature" :'-( (it is quite impossible to get a lobby filled if you play in non-american afternoons with N/<1k)

[xelf207]

I guess just rephrase and/or delete the "bioware has slipped a hidden update" stuff-- it sounds pretty accusatory, like you're rallying up protesters against Bioware xD

It should be more questioning... like, "Here's what's happening. Can you tell us what's going on?" instead of "What did you do, Bioware? This is all your fault!"

If that makes any sense.

Just express that a lot of players have noticed and are upset with the way things have been working since the patch. We don't know that they did this intentionally, or that they intentionally 'hid it' from us, and insinuating that they did comes across as insulting, I think.

[Micah3sixty]

I haven't played on xbox since the patch but if this matchmaking really went into affect, tis the worst system ever since N7 means absolutely nothing and most of us agree that we'd rather have full lobbies than waiting forever for people to join. I also enjoy the diversity of mixed lobbies of all N7 levels and skill. Makes for more interesting match. BIOWARE, please comment on what was done to the matchmaking and remove it ASAP!

[Shock n Awe]

Update:

Both the 1044 and 1045 left after that game. 6 new people cycled through, every single one of them was N7 1064 or 1065. Every one of the 6 players.

There is no way this is a coincidence.

Yes I agree with you.
I'll put down my torch and pitchfork... FOR NOW.
Right now people are accusing because we got a patch and it didn't fix what it was supposed to and actually brought MORE bugs into the game.
So at least my feelings about the situation harbor around: Ok Bioware, what did you guys break now?
Yeah I know it's silly and this is their FIRST TIME doing multiplayer and first times are always messy. Would like some message from Bioware though something like: fear not avid gamers! Were investigating what broke!

[DenRioku]

Around N7 750, takes me 15 minutes to find one person whose N7 is 742 and then 5 minutes later that person leaves because we aren't getting anyone else.

Makes it impossible for me to play early mornings and still a pain to play at any other time.

So this is new to the XBox side then?  And now you know what us PC folks have been seeing/dealing with.  Hopefully we can get clarification what changed and a really quick fix, because I really don't want to be playing with the same randoms all the time in public games.

[Mandalore313]

You guys are all nuts, seeing things etc.

At least this is small compared to IT so I guess I shouldn't worry about it.

[xelf207]

Hah, yes. Now that the console players are experiencing it and not telling us we're imagining it, maybe we can get 'loud' enough for Bioware to notice 

[Volksvarg]

OP changed to reflect less "accusatory" approach for confirmation of the issue, title also changed.

[Edolix]

I host silver matches pretty often (or used to, at least). My lobbies used to fill up pretty damn quick.

Now however, I can wait for 10 minutes and not a single person would join. My N7 rank is only 444 as well.

[N7-RedFox]

Been in my lobby for 10 mins now N7 1286. Absolutely no one joining me =(

HUGE FRAKKUP BIOWARE.

This needs fixed urgently. If people can't find games they'll stop playing and there goes ur RNG cash cow.

Tell me about it - I'm giving up for today. Back to Skyrim...

[anddill]

Now its makes sense. Noticed the same close pairing in the lobby.

[CapnManx]

Just played a game with a team of randoms that had an N7 difference of around 600 (that is, the lowest was about 150, and the highest around 750); so if there is a matchmaker, it's pretty generous.

[my Aim is True]

Not seeing it. I'm 132ish and I was in matches with everyone from level 12 to 500ish

As Shock n Awe has pointed out in a previous post, the game seems to go off of the average N7 level of the lobby. 

I said this before but here's an example of what happened to me: got dropped into a game with an N7 14 and an N7 ~410. My N7 is 218, and falls close to the average between 14 and 410. Another N7~200 player joined up with us, as well.
