Still not fixed?

[Panderalexander]

*UPDATE2* I apologize FTX if I have done anything to offend you. I've never bashed your company or game with any of my posts. The past 12 hours no human opponent has appeared and my outposts are all 7-8 levels higher than me. I did enjoy this game and spent money but now this is almost unplayable, I don't want to be another one of those players saying they're quiting but with my matchmaking screwed up I have no choice. *UPDATE2*

*UPDATE* Just wanted to post a positive since all we hear is the negative. Went to bed for 5 hours and woke up to see 4 human opponents, very happy with that. I hope it's fixed permanently and wasn't just random. *UPDATE*

FTX, I went to bed at 10pm and woke up 7am, in those 9 HOURS I have two human opponents appear on my map only but I have been attacked 14 times. I love this game and have faith you guys will fix it, but please soon, haven't you heard enough negative feedback? Feel free to look at my account and see my logs, April 20, 10pm-7am PST and you'll see two human opponents appear in 9 hours.

If these updates are business decisions and you are trying to forget about the old players and attract new players, understand it is not working, you are upsetting the old players, and I am a new player that started 4 weeks ago and has spent $$, and I too am not happy with the matchmaking update. Please send the developers our messages, that the majority of the old AND new players are unhappy as you can see from the many negative comments regarding match making.

This is how many human players I wake up to after 9 hours:

Plenty of us having the exact same problem, hardly any players on the map right now

Exactly Serge, it's a problem for old players who've been playing awhile and it's a problem for new players such a myself that's been on for 4 weeks. They upset both old and new players with this latest update. FTX, everyone was happy with the matchmaking until your last update, please listen.

Wow, my complaints about the opponents since the update were that the outposts were way too low (easy to kill and very low resources) and that there were almost no human opponents (let's not talk about the very poor matchmaking that occurred). It seems to me like FTX has fixed something in the last couple of days. I am receiving player opponents in quantities comparable to pre-update (although why they are incorporating player rating in their matchmaking is beyond me) and in the past 12 hours or so it seems like the outpost level has increased quite a bit. I am level 47 and i was getting outposts at the 45/46 range, now it seems to be 47 to 54.

As far as the number of player opponents, I don't have an exact count, but i would imagine I've had 15 to 20 show up on my map in the last 24 hours.

I don't understand why we are currently having very different experiences. I would be curious to see if you have better results in the next 24 hours...

Please update this thread so we can see if they have addressed this issue.

I feel very hopeful because I just read another thread started that say their maps have been populating well. I wonder if it could be because of my high medal count for my level. I've been playing for 4 weeks but I'm very active and luckily was able to obtain very good sicarios for my base and defend well. But I don't think a player should be punished for having high medal counts, medal counts are not indicative for player skills or progress, it's only related to how active someone is.

 

[Julio]

My medal counts are over 1000, so i don't think that's the issue.

As far as rating goes, i don't understand why the developers use it for matchmaking. It only indicates a players activity level, it has no significant correlation with strength when looking at players at a particular level.

What level are you? I'm level 35 and near 1000 when I see all the other level 30s mostly around 400-600.

 

[Julio]

Maybe. I'm level 47 with a rating around 1080 or so.

That might be my problem, I'm sure there are much less players in 1000 ratings in 30s. But lo

[Panderalexander]

Awesome, just posted a positive update in my original post.

 

[Julio]

Good!! Thanks for updating your post and letting us know it's working for you.

 

[Panderalexander]

I added a second update to the original posts. Matchmaking making has come at me with revenge as if it's the punisher. Many others have stated they don't have my matchmaking problems. I have never spoken negatively about FTX or Narcos game to be targeted?

 

[Julio]

I doubt they targeted you!!

It sounds very frustrating!! I think the problem has been fixed although it sounds like you are still not having adequate PvP gameplay. Perhaps an email to support (stop chuckling everyone... yes, they are very, very slow to respond but posting on this forum hasn't gotten a lot of official responses either...).

As far as outpost levels, sounds like 7 levels above is a bit tough for you or your level. I can say that at level 47, i receive level 47 to 54 outposts and i think that is a good range.
