OCE Matchmaking

Discussion

I can't express how excited I am to be able to queue up FPP games on OCE again, even finding games in Duo! We might not have a large player base down under but this change to matchmaking has brought back 3 of my friends (so far) and my brother to the game, and they each have others that are interested in trying it out again.

​

Thank you for implementing a change which has lead to us being able to queue up FPP on our local server again. I have seen some complaints from players in others parts of the world with respect to the change in matchmaking so I wanted to say that for me and the guys I play with, we have been thrilled with the change to OCE as we can find games again now and that's far more important to us than map selection.

It should stay around, as long as they don't patch in a heap of map selection options again.

The players were always there, just the selection's were buggy and dumb.

I am unable to find a single game on OCE for FPP solo mode since the update. Am I the only one?

Not the only one.

Solo hasn't popped once for me after the update. After waiting the required time to get changed to another region that region also doesn't pop.

I dont start playing until after 9pm, apparently it pops earlier on.

Quite a few people have expressed issues with the server switching mechanism when no games can be found.

Yeah I struggled also with solos yesterday.

Got a few Solo TPP (which I can't stand) but these were probably only filling up to around 35-50 people. This was also during the middle of the day.

Don't think I had a Solo FPP all day.

whilst not for everyone mate, jump in and find some new friends playing squads, if not, join a discord server for matching with others.

DM me if you want some suggestions

Meanwhile. I'm fucked over here in NA, where this change was completely unnecessary for duos and squads.

Aslong as you know that it won't be long before the OCE server dies out again

Can you elaborate on why you think this will happen? Assuming no changes to how map selection currently works, three oce players have clearly been here all along. Why do you expect it to die again
