My wife and I enjoy running Feeding The Children or Sabotage The Lockdown or Drill The Futterman as Duo.
Who in their right minds think "hey, lets take away their ability to run solo/private group of the maps they want" absolute bonkers.
Feedback & Idea (Community Band Together!): Resolving Matchmaking (Bad Update) & Unnecessary Removal Of Certain MK Challenges & Removing Rating
Dev comments: “With the changes we are implementing, we aim to significantly reduce matchmaking time and improve match quality. We will continue to monitor Matchmaking and make necessary changes if needed.”
========================================
Previously We Had 4 QUEUE Options.
Program Genesis
Program X
Program Ultra
Event
========================================
Currently we have 9 QUEUE Options.
You are separating your player base even more, making it worse.
GENESIS (MAIN PROGRAMS)
INTRO / STANDARD / INTENSIVE / PSYCHOTHERAPY
BAMBINO (CYCLE OF MK + GENESIS)
INTRO / STANDARD/ INTENSIVE / PSYCHOTHERAPY
ESCALATION THERAPY
========================================
Why not just make it like this?
Easy (SOLO ONLY) - NO QUEUE
Normal (DUO,TRIO,QUAD)
Hard (DUO,TRIO,QUAD)
People can 'Quick Play' by choosing one of the FOUR/FIVE options:
"GENESIS Normal"
"GENESIS Hard"
"MK CHALLENGES Normal"
"MK CHALLENGES Hard"
"EVENT: TOXIC SHOCK!" (When it happens, most people will Quickplay or specifically choose this anyway)
If players want specific maps, they can start a search for a specific trial (e.g., "Grind the Bad Apples Normal"). Matchmaking will group them with others queuing for "Quick Play GENESIS Normal."
If there are multiple groups / people wanting the same specific map (e.g., "Drill the Futterman Hard"), matchmaking will pair them together. If not, it will draw players from "Quick Play MK CHALLENGES Hard"
When new maps such as Bambino / Docks / events like Toxic Shock / Halloween are released, we will obviously have more people choosing specific maps and this will again simply have people choose the same maps/program and pulled together or those who choose "Quick Play Event".
Like before: "This program" / QUICK PLAY | "Specific Trial" / Choose a map and get queued with Quick Players.
This way people know for sure they're going into a short or long game with the idea of it being a Normal difficulty or Hard.
========================================
Why would the Developers remove the "Rating" we accomplished on "Ultra"?
Sure it might be 'fun' to redo the "Psychosurgery" which was equivalent to "Ultra" but it's absolutely disheartening to see all the A+ we accomplished to be wiped from the system. MINIMUM I would expect my ratings to be given to Intensive at the bare minimum.
