Please remove SBMM from matchmaking

  • In a game like this it makes no sense to have a sbmm, on xbox the situation is serious. In the evening in the EU you can't find a match because you have to find players with the same level and there aren't any. There have been instances where the estimated matchmaking was between 1-2 mins and we stayed in matchmaking even over 30 mins. At least test without SBMM, because that doesn't work. This system leaks everywhere, now that the pvp hype is passing and people are already playing other games it will be impossible to get to level 1000 of a faction, please listen to my words. Try removing the SBMM for a couple of days and see how the situation goes, because waiting 30-40 min for a match is intolerable. Thank you and good day.

  • SBMM can't be removed because the whole progression depends on the 50% win rate. Rare has to find different solution to decrease the queue times.

  • why can't they? Just turn it off for a couple of days to see how the situation behaves. Then they take the data and work on it ... the situation is currently serious and therefore an emergency correction is needed

  • the situation is currently serious and therefore an emergency correction is needed

    I think you need to look up "Serious" and "emergency"
    Heck...I say stop using the pvp hourglass until Early Jan 2023, let the system work itself.

  • I do agree. They need to fix those queues because the people i play with don't want to play the pvp mode again because of the long waiting. Yesterday we got 6 matches in 3 hours! we spend so much time in the queue and it's not okay at all.

  • Not so much the queue than the fact we find 3 types of boat, new player, intermediate (my lev), then : absolute killers.

    Problem : when you find only killer player.
    I don’t want to sink at every game but also want to progress, so, find player at my level.

    I love this game so much but I think I’ll stop the pvp until this broken SBMM is fixed.
    Or rare should tell us what it’s based on.

  • Sadly, I just can't get matched in pvp. It takes way too long. The estimated times are way off. It feels bugged. Somebody please let me know when it's fixed. I am moving on for now.

  • 100% I cannot get matches in Australia AU servers.
    We got two in 5 hours last night.
    It’s broken.

    Want a bigger pool to play in? VPN. It's your only option. Region based matchmaking is killing it's self.

    I'm struggling to get matches on US West, a couple days ago my friend and I sat in queue for 40 minutes until we had to get off. We didn't get a match and haven't even bothered to try since then

  • @bootlegburger it’s a tragedy. I had a crew of four with a 45 minute wait at the end of a night, and we all just called it. What an incredibly depressing end to an evening of gaming.

    I don’t think it’s really possible to use a VPN on Xbox.

  • @mostexpendable I belive if you run an open crew you will get different regions. Call me crazy but I think the best organic PvP I've seen has been with open crew brigs.

    Find a few good PLs that are on your level and put in the work.

    I really wish we knew more besides region how it's exactly matching though.

  • Open crew…? I don’t hate myself that much, bro.

  • I'm pretty good at knowing when a crew will get stuff done. It's a vibe within the first 30 seconds of what they are doing.
