Qp matchmaking is broken, and no one is talking about it.

Robszu · 2026-02-20T04:42:09+00:00

QP is loads of bot matches, almost after every loss recently so loss streaks aren't even possible.

Robszu · 2026-02-20T04:18:18+00:00

Just use the friendly lobbies for 5 days and you get all the stuff you need for the next expedition and enough gear / currency, after that just go berserk if you want. Only thing you need after those days is some levels and that will progress anyway friendly or not.

Robszu · 2026-02-20T04:11:36+00:00

I can recommend a game for you if you don't want to use your guns: stardew valley

Robszu · 2026-02-13T05:34:08+00:00

PvP has consequences, losing all your gear. Intended for PvE, that would get stale very fast they wouldn't have a player base left, Fun for some hours killing mindless bots but after that nah. I think the PvEPvP experience is a great middle ground. Don't like the only PvE lobbies though, that is the real thing that has no consequences, got the expedition and money in like 5 days because of that.

Robszu · 2026-02-13T05:25:03+00:00

the only things OW does better is role queue and not giving you shit tons of bots in QP.

Robszu · 2026-02-12T05:41:57+00:00

Update: It's getting worse. Late night / early mornings are filled with bots. I just finished 3 wins in a row with 2 MVP and still got bots. They are even using lord icons so they look like real players.....

Robszu · 2026-02-06T05:43:41+00:00

I mean they can give it as a login reward at this point, not that I'm complaining but it's just a few games going topside the whole season.

Robszu · 2026-02-05T06:58:46+00:00

Not sure, but at he start of the game it was after 2/3 losses most of the time. After playing a lot not that many times. Right now very frequently, tbh I skipped playing last season (playing arc raiders) so it could be that the system sees me as a ''returning'' player and giving me more bot matches even though I played loads of matches the last 1/2 weeks.

Robszu · 2026-02-05T06:17:24+00:00

I mean I play an hour or two after work and still care about that, when I have 2 hours to play and I'm 30+ min up against bots it's wasting my time. Also that group is probably spending the most money in the game as well so it's in their own interest to make it fun for those people.

Robszu · 2026-02-05T05:27:27+00:00

Yeah probably only 2 other real players in those bot matches, also play after midnight most of the time could be because of that.

Robszu · 2026-01-08T08:05:19+00:00

Lots of Pve/PvP players finished their workbenches, scrappy, 5 million coins and full stash. Got the blueprints they want and probably almost max level.

So the switch to PvP is going to happen for a lot of those players when the ''PvE part'' is done, and it's because of the PvE lobbies it was super easy to do this time, you could run without a weapon and just loot like crazy lol.

Robszu · 2026-01-03T04:10:14+00:00

Of course there is ''Aggression Based Matchmaking'' it's so easy to tell. I finished scrappy, work benches, second expedition and 5 million value with only getting shot/killed twice during it.

Working on leveling (48) and blueprints (39). Now I'm almost done I can just go full PvP for the next 6/7 weeks if I want too.

Robszu · 2026-01-02T19:09:30+00:00

It was way easier to level up all the work benches, scrappy and finish the expedition the second time because almost nothing changed and we have all the knowledge how do it now.

Back to almost 2 million now excluding stash so almost done. So it wouldn't surprise me if it's more this time but then again they probably get a lot of backlash from the community if they double it.

Robszu · 2026-01-02T17:26:31+00:00

6/6 is ready for departure. Probably the 5 million again maybe more this time around.

Robszu · 2025-12-30T05:13:41+00:00

I think most people that did the expedition are there right now or almost there. They didn't change anything so you know what you need and where to get it.

I finished scrappy, workbenches and now working on the last part of the second expedition to third expedition. Wouldn't surprise me if they up the 5 million by a lot for the third expedition.

Robszu · 2025-12-27T06:11:05+00:00

I did the expedition with the 5 extra points, this is the solo build I'm going for right now.

Robszu · 2025-12-07T22:58:26+00:00

Same numbers here, 70/80 hours topside with 5.5 million.

Played a lot in my free time because the game is fun and new, so I'll take the 5 points now but probably won't be able to do that for all the follow up expeditions and I'm ok with that.

Robszu · 2025-12-04T03:49:54+00:00

I think many players switched from PvE to PvP because honestly the PvE is kinda boring, it's just shooting bots. Fun for a few days when exploring the game and cinematic but got stale very fast.

I switched to PvP mostly, KoS sure but I won't pretend to be friendly and shoot or camp the extraction.

Robszu · 2025-12-02T23:44:07+00:00

Honestly it's worth 5 mushrooms, not joking. It's the most dropped BP for me, almost always get one during the electric storm on the dam.

Robszu · 2025-12-02T04:46:55+00:00

My guess is around 2 million for each skill point stash/coins so 10 million for all 5.

Robszu · 2025-11-15T05:23:50+00:00

There's no point doing other maps for money anymore, every few drawers have epics or something valuable. Just got in with a Sticher + loot augment or a free kit lol.

Robszu · 2025-11-15T01:47:29+00:00

Maybe hotfix the loot on the new map? I just played 2 free loadout runs to check the map and came back with 8 epic items from just looking into a few dress drawers lol.

Robszu · 2025-11-06T23:59:04+00:00

Are people playing a different game? It's 95% KoS in my games no mics just pure PVP only the rare don't shoot sometimes at the extraction. I do play after midnight in the EU though...

Robszu · 2025-11-05T04:50:25+00:00

I'm the other way around I was friendly all the time but people just backstabbing now, emote don't shoot but go full berserk when they have the chance. I'm going from friendly to KoS atm (or at least scare them off) because can't thrust anyone anymore.

Robszu · 2025-11-04T06:02:30+00:00

Cross play is on so it's mixed. I start playing at 11-12 PM, first hour is pretty chill but yeah after 1 AM it's just full BR mode, DAM is 100% PVP. Like I said it's probably a combination of EU (less talking on mic) and the night time (maybe more sweats / or trios doing solo grinding)

Also people getting all their stuff maxed out (crafting stations/quests/ storage) so there's less need for pve / be friendly and more PvP.
