idk what you mean by doubling. majority of players are solo players and only ones who would get longer queues would be stacks. or they would get bot filled matches.
just to let you guys (pc players specifically those who complain about console) knowā¦ if they made it so crossplay was disabled by default you wouldnāt have half of these trashcans in your lobby but that is the only reason why our lobbies are acceptable.
You run so we can walk. Thank you.
I dont think its failed, I do want easier option for veteran players to have a custom campaign mode with more historical weapons / squads - I think it would please all sides combined, but right now I dont think theres enough dev $$ there for that.

I like this concept - this should also apply to BRs:
The matchmaker does Ā±0 BR, but when you sit over a minute in the queue, it tells you something like ābroader BR searchingā and only then starts looking for other BR players, which even ultimately would allow for leaving the queue and resetting it if one would really really really want to play BRĀ±0 - basically excepting longer queue times.

Yes no thank you, I donāt want to make PC players happy if itās by dividing the player base itās all downside for console and only half downside for PC. Itās like saying we can get a divorce and congratulations no bed time Olympics youāre saying all negative things. At that point PC and console are playing two different games. I respect youāre opinion but in that case play warthunder as far as the console enlisted are concerned itās the same thing
So with PC players able to disable cross play only paying PC players have any value to console players as free and paying console players canāt even play them
To be clear I think campaign āmissionsā should be potentially outside the base game aka custom missions.
That way playerbase is still joined towards playing the same game in general matchmaker.
as for console divide - they did implement xbox to PC with that new subsctiption right?
Additionally keyboard support for consoles should be an extreme priority, would help mitigate the skill difference in the games.
Based on the lack of clarification or debunking from the officials, nothing is really changing.
This
Will assign 3 random people in each match into your āsquadā.
And the devs want you to believe it will be balanced against people who talk on discort, go here
And actually create a coordinated stack

Thanks, I just realized it and wanted to post about it.
Ohohoh this new mm āchangeā is truly ridiculousā¦ most players now have that box ticked without realizing. It even got ticked for me at some point and I didnāt bother to uncheck it.
Which means most solo players will be counted as groups.
So sweaty 4 stacks will keep seal clubbing as usual, unimpeded.
ā¦
Respectfully, devs, at this point it would have been smarter to just do nothing at all, instead ofā¦ this.

Give us a true solo que. This change changes nothing as you have forced ājoin random groupā on all casuals that have never disabled it.
MM already got polluted with artificially made stacks so you will always have randomized stacks in matches while you will have to pray that you will end up with discord stack and not clueless newbie stack that only knows how to press Play and donāt use chat or even have discord, ofc you can forget about them building rallies or destroying tanks/flankers.
Solo players in current MM are pretty much only few vets, while rest of newbies are in fake stacks. Amazing change a true placebo update.

LOL. You had 14! vehicles destroyed. Meanwhile I was sitting there with my 3 tank kills. Good match!

Itās a huge leap on paper, but a small step in reality.
These numbers sound very much like the current unregulated situation. I think the first phase is placebo effect in the testing.

When I asked how hard would it be to add voice chat I was asking a legitimate question how hard would it be to add voice chat? Would it be a complex process or what? Please if James or another CM or helper or anyone that has the power to answer could elaborate on the voice chat process would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Thank you for the response didnt know never hear anyone talking even when im in a group maybe its my setting will look into it.
Itās more so that random groups donāt bother to communicateā¦
I donāt know why they added random groups in the first place. Those are groups in nothing but nameā¦ just 4 sllo players really.
Friends playing togheter are generally on discord, so they donāt bother either.

Its no secret you have 8013 bots to your disposal, as long its 4 man vs 4 man I dont think there is an issue the rest is bots. Please make the Squad vs Squad mm permament and not only for first 60seconds of mm.

Idiotic. First you add random groupsā¦so number of groups then is completely meaningless
Now its going to be 2x4-stack of meta groups vs a few āgroupsā of people who have no clue
Stop being such cowards
Heaven forbid the stackers have to wait a tiny bit for everyone else to have way better experience
As usual way too little way too late

So, basically player base is shrinking (which you knew about 2 years ago) and you just trying to patch the difference in teams for bots and humans by adding groupsā¦
Insaneā¦but I guess you run out of ideas how to ruin your own gameā¦
Literally, people have been screaming at you 2 years ago for matchmaking changes that you implementing just nowā¦ people who left the game and will never play again. RIP brothers
Phantasmagoria at this point.

they are not adding anything. this was already in the game. there is maybe like 1% of the games that will be affected by these changes and rest will be same.

Bruh, there is no 4 sweaty stacks at this point. The player base is way below the red line. If you check the steamchart and combine it with your own experience of how many of your in game friends are offline (friends from before the steam release) then you should get a picture of how many players left.
Truly, not many, and the devs and this entire forum makes it look like itās still alive just to extract what is left. Money
The entire first half of this year constant broad day light fuckups and the recent jap event was a straw that broke the camelās back.
There is no going back.
This entire experience I have with this game seems like, somebody at the top never wanted this game to succeed in the first place.
