So, it’s the Christmas week and it’s about 10am here in the EU. I understand it is not the prime time for playing but as a lot of people are on holidays etc I suppose it shouldn’t be this much of a problem.
Normally I have a latency of 20ms. I had to play ranked because of the challenges and the two matches I had were 120 ms latency (this means I was on a central NA servers). It’s also a funny thing numbers are censored on the chat for some reason but that’s another topic.
I then needed to play FFA which I absolutely despise anyway and I had 170 ms latency (I don’t even know where this could be, maybe in California or South America?). Obviously getting 120 ms ranked matches is a problem and it’s not fair for me and not for the other players except maybe for the enemy team obviously.
Questions
a) Has 343 ever said anything about implementing similar system as MCC has, selecting the matchmaking areas? If I don’t get a match then it’s fair enough but getting a 120 ms latency and obviously quitting the said match is not fair for the other players is just next level b.s.
b) Has 343 ever said anything about the xp challenges and the ranked? I think it is very unfair for the people who don’t usually play ranked. It’s also unfair for the people who normally play ranked and then getting mixed with said people who are there only for the challenges. I know I could use challenge switch but I think this is issue is not about using the tokens but a game design oversight.
The more I play this “product”, the more I hate it. 343, you have over a decade of experience making multiplayer games and THIS is the result? Just -Yoink!- off please. Obviously the board members have congratulated you for a well received product because you managed to deliver after a one year delay and you are still able to rake in the revenue from the $20 armor colors. CONGRATULATIONS!
