Signed. I'm already dreading playing tonight if lobbies take forever to fill up. I may try some testing and report back with my findings.

[Hiero Glyph]

This needs to be fixed ASAP. I dare say that unless you have a 3-4 private party you are unable to find a game easily. In the cases where I was matched with a game, I found a single player hosting. No matter how many times I left and searched again, I was constantly thrown back into the same game with just the host. Before the patch, I had no trouble connecting to any games. I hate to say it but the patch has ruined multiplayer for those of us with a higher N7 rank.

[Quething]

Yeah, this is bull and it needs to go.

[Zkyire]

Since the patch all the people I've been playing with in randoms are around the same N7 level as me.

And it's going well. Not a single mission fail.

..could be sheer luck though.

[DSRoy]

It goes without saying that prioritizing similar N7 levels to any degree also adversely effects the single most important factor for any MP game: lag. I'll take low latency that allows me to use projectile/non-hitscan weapons over N7 rank matchmaking every time.

I'd venture to say it's ruined for everyone at every rank... but most especially for the people that play during less popular hours.

Even if the N7 grouping idea was good in the first place (consensus is: it's not) their playerbase is obviously not big enough for them to divide it like this without a negative affect on everyone's experiences.

So I just kept getting thrown into a lobby with 2 people playing W/G/G over and over and even after avoiding both of them (Xbox, lacking skill made most sense), still it throws me right back in. This is ridiculous, Bioware, get your act together and stop making the game worse, there's only so long people will keep putting up with this.

I'mma keep doing this. Just had to pull a double shift today so I am not in a good mood.

There had better be some enemies ready to bleed tonight.

[Omnifarious Nef]

I've been trying to get a match all day, I've only gotten 4 or so, all with N7 1200, none were less than 5 N7 below me. I almost NEVER see another N7 1000+ Now they're the only ones the game will let me play with! That's BS. Quick search a bronze game? 3 N7 1200's.... And don't even get me started on trying to host a game!

[Katya Nadanova]

Playing on Xbox and I've noticed it too. Spent an hour looking for people to play with. My N7 is 2,3??. Found one person, their N7 was within 10 of mine. We started the match. On wave 6 found someone else. We finished the match and found out their N7 was within 30 of mine. >.> Way beyond coincidence. Played 3 or 4 matches with those 2 and didn't find anyone else.

This similar N7 matchmacking needs to go.

It's the first one. I have the patch and either it takes forever to get a R/R/G, I get dummped into a game with any number of different N7 level players, most of which were looking for a Bronze game, and the Lobbies I have entered have been varied.

Their is no match making, and N7 5000 is not going ot have anyone to play with. Higher level Players leveling on Bronze, are going to find a real hard time finding a Match with their 2800 N7.

It's not match making, it's population loss, more players playing in private lobbies, people who still don't have the patch can't play, people who don't have the dlc can't play and EA had a massive world wide server crash. Not everyone is back online yet. Mix all that stuff together and that's what is going on in Pub.

[drmoose00]

it has ruined the game for me

[TheCinC]

So that's why I played with a level 4000-something player today...
Oh wait.

Also, I had a game where it took ages to go from ready to load the map and for the others to join me. Even though I was host.

So doubt they changed much in this area.

[robarcool]

I don't want it. One way is to make the 'feature' manual. If someone wants it, they can keep it on. If they don't want it, they can shut it off.

[Rav950]

I couldn't tell you. I actually fired up a solo game and had a full team before the end of Wave 1. I'm on PC.

[ColonelFacepalm]

seriously Bioware better remove this retarded N7 match making system. Before it took from a few seconds to up to maybe a minute to make a gold match now i have to wait for at least a few minutes sometimes even 10 or more (and no i dont have some ridiculous 3k or 5k rank im 6xx) i guess ppl that have like rank 3-5k have to solo from now cuz i cant even imagine how long it takes fro them to find 3 additional players with siimilar rank

[Siderus]

 I mean in theory it'd be beneficial to do away with this system.  But I think we all know that the minute N7 500+ get into a Gold lobby with level 100s or lower on the regular (instead of just every so often), those lower levels will get kicked a lot more than they are now.

[neteng101]

I'm on the PC and noticed this since the patch came out Tuesday. I thought at first it was just more people being online for the patch, but the pattern continued.

The matchmaking system is terribad... if you happen to have the same people online and they are bad, you can't leave and find some new game, it dumps you back with the same bunch! Then the higher up N levels can't find people at all. I found the only way I could get something different was to change enemy/map settings, and all in all, I haven't had any really good public games since the PC patch was released.

It truly is not an exaggeration to say that it totally ruins public MP games for me.

[Dharvy]

My N7 is 1770 and I have been seeing a couple of n7+1000 in the match with me but not more than or maybe 2 but I've played games with 200s 400s and a 600s or so and its no different for me than any other time. I don't have a hard time finding matches really, what I get is a lot more "lost connection". Have BW said that this is indeed what's going on? Have they said anything because I can't say, from my personal experience that there is indeed a match making. Haven't played a game yet that I recall that all the players was even in the n7 +1000 range. Had a game where someone was 2500 and another game where someone was 4000 or so but no games where all the players was even in the +-500 of my N7 ranking.

[Omnifarious Nef]

Yup... 3 more matches, no one was below a couple N7 of me. (1200) Like I said before, I amolost NEVER seen N7's that high, yet now today they're the only ones in my matches....

I see people like you doubting what's happening, and my question to you all is: How do you explain why I haven't come across the high N7 PC users complaining of this?

If it was simply population loss, I'd still be running across all the +1000 N7 people complaining about it. But no, I'm just getting stuck with people around my own N7, 218. 

I'm seeing those same people, over and over, in completely different lobbies/match types. And I haven't seen the same high N7 person more than once. Every time I come across a high N7 it just so happens that the lobby's mean/average N7 level happened to be equal to (or close to) my own N7 level.

[el guiri477]

It took me over 40 minutes to fill a lobby that i had created today! My N7 is 1766 a few pkayers joined with similar N7's to mine but after waiting for about 5 they left! It wasn't until a friend of mine came online with N7 98. and even then we had to wait 10-15 minutes for a 3rd and 4th player and both of them were in the high 900's!

Haven't seen a convincing number of people to make me believe we have a N7 rating matchmaker now, but I DO have the problem of open lobbies taking aeons to fill up.

Well, I'm 130 atm and I keep joining the same lobby with the same single 150 player over and over again. U/U/G. No way this is the only lobby with a free spot...

Just found a full lobby, guess what? All four players within 15 N7 ranks...
