This topic goes nicely in hand with the 'Vocal minority' vs 'silent majority' thread we had on here before. classic case.

Until they rollback this "genius" idea...just stay in lobbies. All you're going to do is just keep rejoining the same lobby over and over and over. I've seen the exact same people join and leave multiple times
(unknown/unknown/gold). Just...stay. Patience...have some.

For real though everything from the patch is cool but this. im lucky enough to know quite a few people who play the game and they all know some people so usually i dont have to wait but i sat in a silver lobby by myself for 30 minutes waiting for someone to show up.

[Chardonney]

Please, undo the matchmaking system. It has undoubtedly crippled the multiplayer.

U/U/G. Okay.

But don't tell me to stay in FBW/G/G. Or damned Dagger/Cerberus/Gold again. 

Which are the only lobbies I can seem to find within my N7 grouping...<_<

[Ryuji2]

^ Well I always host and never specific stuff. It's always U/U/G. But for farming matches...ehh...wouldn't blame someone for leaving, heh I know I would.

So close to having 4 members...

...aaaaand back to 2. Wait! Nope, back to just me.

One day I'll actually get a full team...

They are still discussing. I bet the one who suggested that change now claims artistic integrity for it and Dr. Ray Muzyka will write us a letter where he says they can't rollback but will clarify the new system...

I sincerely doubt that will happen now that there's been such a devastating outcry from the community. If in the remote chance they do nothing at all but try to sell the new system, they'll lose many players. I don't think Bioware wants that to happen.

You sure where not on these forums in the release week of the game . I just made a sarcastic reference to what happened back than .
And trust me, the outcry about the games ending was much bigger than this .

I was floating around; didn't post though. The outcry against the endings is STILL going on. The only difference is this multiplayer mechanism is an easy fix, whereas the endings required the company to justify their "artistic integrity".

Don't tell me you're the drell vanguard level 14 lobby leader with a phaeston I kept rejoining over and over earlier 

[xelf207]

I can't host; not willing to set up port forwarding for my router. No one can get into my lobby because of that. Probably for the best, my internet's not the greatest anyway.

Sometimes, if I host and start it, people join mid-match. But since not after the matchmaking change...

I've only played two matches today. Usually by now I'd have gone through five or more... this gets tiring.

Lol nope. N7 660 Level 20 Human Sentinel with Carnifex.

[Hippeh]

Add me as one more person who wants this new matchmaking method removed. Rollback +1.

[Bolo Xia]

ever notice how every week there is a problem making the game unplayable to different degrees?

this trend really needs to end, about to just flat out give up on this game.

I've noticed this new system since last night.  Throwing in my two cents, it is horrible.  Roll it back, please, and don't try again until you've come up with an algorithm that makes sense (and preferably has nothing to do with N7 ranking, which is almost meaningless when it comes to an evaluation of player skill).   

Personally I think the smartest route would be a system based on # of successful extractions on each difficulty, or even better, how many times you've passed the wave 3/6/10 barrier on each difficulty.  Obviously a player who has dozens of extractions on gold is much likelier to be better than one who only has extracted on bronze, N7 rating irrelevant.

A status update of sorts. I have not been able to get into even a single match all day. I've tried hosting and waiting, I've tried quick search, nothing. Even sat as host for an entire hour, only 1 person joined and then quit after about 5 minutes of waiting. (N7 1200)

[grayfoxwins]

Looks like the devs are going home for the weekend to continue to "discuss this internally."

I would join your game, but since I am only n7 1000 matchmaking wouldn't put me there.

[Pope Hilarius]

I'm not one to post complaints (or at all, this is my first time posting), but this really is a terrible change. I'm only at N7 600 or so, and last night was barely playable for me- a friend and I were looking for two more randoms for a silver match, and we waited nearly ten minutes before giving up and just two manning it.
I know this is a common problem, because later while just searching for random/random bronze put me into a silver match on a late round with only two people there, three times in a row! Later I tried gold, and I joined a match in progress with a single person. This is clearly broken.

I really hate this system. Barring a rollback, I wish I could lower my N7 score so I can actually play some games.

so the people that get disconnected due to bugs and crappy servers should be punished?
i dont get disconnected because i host mostly.

it needs to be a ping range or something, otherwise their will be a lot of people in certain brackets that cant play the game.

my N7 is over 3000 so should i not be able to play because the majority is in the 200 to 700 range?

basically right now me and my friend cant host a game because our retarded N7 number is too high.... we can host but nobody joins.
its fair right?

we host so we can play together without problems of getting lucky to find a lobby with room or get lucky and the 2nd person beats a random into the game, just so we can play together.

[Creighton72]

Ummm this is still going on. Last night I did a few matches and it was totally random and fast. N7 ranks all over the place. Today I only did a couple private games I thought they ended it.

Is the main problem on PC? Because I really have not had a problem finding games on 360. It's actually been better than last few weeks for me. Good players too.

not saying my idea is perfect.  But ANY idea is better than what they have now.  Actually, the BEST thing to do would to be base it off of total XP, since it is directly correlated with both skill and time played.  Of course, XP doesn't accumulate after level 20, but they can change that or keep track of it internally or something.

[toastar]

Roll back this matchmaking feature, N7 means jack anyway.

[Adhok42]

Nope. Majority of the community is having the problem.

What is your N7 level Creighton? The system matches averages and since people don't promote after a certain level it's those of us higher up that are getting shafted. 360 also has the most players compared to the PC and PS3.

Won't work. You can buy packs with real money and the character cards drop class XP. XP like N7 is not a result of time and skill.
