Estemed developers, we thank you for this great game!
We would like to suggest the possibility of having 10 man parties so we can ensure the guild can join the same game(Currently attempting to join the same game by choosing a specific band and hoping to join the same game, sacrificing the exp boost), this would help us enjoy the experience so much more, we are a semi-large community that is playing Enlisted (10+) and it would be very helpful for us to organize a gaming session that we all can enjoy together and hopefully keep growing as a guild.
You guys could try to make a custom game, so you all could join in at the same time, and you will also earn points for it under the condition that you are enough players, or so I think?
Also, that you fulfill the other conditions I think, but you might have to look them up because I don’t know for sure what they are now. As long as you guys meet the conditions, whatever they are then you can play a normal squad game in a custom and also earn points as far as I have heard.
We are well aware of the possibility of playing custom games, however they do infact not give us the same experience, since we would have to wait for 10 random players to join a custom game that they will not earn points with, so this effectively leaves us waiting for very long times or with the need to organize 10 v 10 private matches with other communities which is not what we are trying at the moment since we feel we still need to train our classes, research our stuff etc etc. This is not an effective solution for our use case
Allowing 10 ppl to play together vs random players is a recipe for disaster as is super unfair.
Also you won’t learn much from such experience if you want to play a competetive 10vs10 in the future.
You should try to find other group of 10 and play together in custom lobbies. Try to find them on official discord or on discord of some content creators (some of them hold their own tournaments).
no thanks… you should rather talk to other clans so you can have proper 10v10 in customs. having even 4 players teamed up is already unfair in randoms, not to mention 10.
We are aware of that, but matchmaking is an algorithm that can be modified, simply group 10 mans versus 5&5 or similar parties. There can also be a bracket separated for different sets of games.
currently it does something similar, if you join as 4 you could join with another party of 4 and another party of 2.
We are currently sometimes achieving this any way by our current solution, so if anything this would prevent us from absolutely dumping lead on random groups of people like we’ve been doing as we have been organizing sometimes in parties of 8 if we are lucky.
What you are afraid is going to happen, is already happening.
Then create a bracket for this specific type of MM separate from the already existing MM.
There is already enough of a playerbase to make this possible, but it definitely does not help that you keep sending people to custom games instead of using the MM.
Currently 300 people are playing custom games instead of playing MM games. This weakens the MM playerbase A LOT, and it doesnt help that when people make suggestions to make the MM experience better, people send you to Custom Games :S
We already are doing 8man parties versus whatever the MM sends us, which we’ve been successfully absolutely making a miserable experience for the other side.
Stacks having a separate MM, exactly what we are asking for mate.
lol… did you even see data? this is data for concurrent players across 6 servers, 4 factions and 2 MM brackets that are currently in battle that averages ~20 minutes
Well, if you argue that custom diverts players from MM, then having another alternate MM would also divert players over there from the original MM, wouldn’t it?
On the other hand, if the most sweat lord players would be more compelled to enter this pre-made 10 Vs 10 MM, then maybe more noobs could be free to breathe in the original MM? There surely wouldn’t be any need for bots in a pre-made 10 Vs 10 alternate MM also, that’s a plus. Similarly, the original MM with the noobs, they could always benefit from having stupid bots to slay, to advance and learn to play the very basics of the game.
Maybe, just maybe, this idea isn’t all too bad after all? In the sense that it would separate the sweat-lords from the noobs, like that? Newcomers would have a chance to perform better and be more likely to have a good time and stay around? This all depends on data, something only the devs have, so all I can do is speculate. It’s their judgement anyway.
