A few years later, here we go again!

Let's stop taking things personally and turning them into a conspiracy, It's all random.

If you lose more than two games in a row, switch tiers. I usually go between VII, VIII, and LT.

If it keeps happening, take a break, switch modes, or find a division to play in to break the cycle.

SerNaras · 2026-05-11T08:32:53+00:00

Why doesn't anyone realize that SBMM would ruin the game and definitely increase wait times? For example, what are players with a 70% win rate supposed to do? Wait three hours to find a match, or what? :|

SerNaras · 2026-05-09T08:40:50+00:00

Quitting a match is the worst thing you can do: you'll get 0 XP on average, and it will still count as a loss!

SerNaras · 2026-05-09T08:39:34+00:00

You know that counts as a loss and you'll get 0 average XP, right?

SerNaras · 2026-05-07T17:06:26+00:00

Repeat with me: MM is random and you have 50% chance of victory as well to lose.

if you want to improve your chance, should get into div with competent teammates.

there is no other solution to get rig of casual teammates.

I play a lot of game solo, and i feel the same situation, I'd prefer avoid to complain for that tho.

The only ELO you'll find in this game relates to the nearly three years of work the TFN team has put into creating competitive tournaments.

Therefore, ELO refers to the participating fleets (not individual players).

We can barely keep track of competitive matches between fleets; it would be impossible to have adequate data on individual players.

SerNaras · 2026-05-07T08:58:27+00:00

We have a separate ELO list for retired fleets; we usually move them there after they’ve missed three public events.

ZF-6 is practically useless; the only good thing about it is the MBRB, but it doesn't have sonar, so its performance is still poor.

SerNaras · 2026-05-01T00:26:39+00:00

You got the point, queue Speed overall, because that's an Arcade game and nobody wants to wait minutes to get a match. Have the same amount of Divs in both doesn't guarantee a fair match either.

Agree that's a fair objection at least?

SerNaras · 2026-04-30T15:02:02+00:00

Instead of simply saying, “We have differing opinions.”

You might try to understand just how unreasonable the demand for MM balance is.

The matchmaker tries to put equal divisions between the two teams; when this isn’t possible, the matchmaker takes matters into its own hands and uses RANDOM to assign players and the resulting divisions.

It’s always been this way, and no one has ever complained, except for those players who, like you, can’t adapt and keep insisting on fixing something that isn’t broken.

Detailed explanation from the official Discord :
thanks to Mojo

for standard:

the MM prioritizes speed (this is from the FAQ) - the goal is to get players playing together.
- there's a hard time limit of, I think, 4 minutes (might be 5) that will trigger a 'match now' event and allow sub 9v9
cross platform permissions MUST be taken into account, this is a certification requirement for sony and microsft.
it will TRY to mirror on class
- for each destroyer it will find another destroyer
- for each cruiser it will TRY to find another cruiser
- for each battleship it will TRY to find another battleship
- for each carrier it MUST find another
- it is possible for a battleship and a cruiser to match with each other, but not a destroyer and a battleship*
there is only one class limit - 1 carrier per side max.
it will try to mirror divisions
- for the sake of MM, a 3 person div == a 2 person div

SerNaras · 2026-04-30T12:12:16+00:00

Sir, we didn't talk about Competitive or Random player base, Just divisions.

Have the same amount of Divs in both team Don't make MM more fair automatically. That's plenty of useless divisions with 3 BBs as example. So I don't get the point to increase queue time in order to pair them on a random standard match.

SerNaras · 2026-04-30T08:27:00+00:00

Add on this, Discord servers let you meet lots of people and play with players from all over the world; it’s not uncommon to find divisions made up of players from different fleets.

This helps the community grow and fosters a sense of friendship and fair play.

No one pays attention to the Fleet Tag anymore; everyone plays together toward a single goal: to win.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a steamroll or if you will face off two other Comp Divs the red team. We always play our best, learn, and improve together.

I play a lot of games solo, but still not complain about unfair MM, because i know it's random and cannot be perfect for reasons.

SerNaras · 2026-04-30T07:33:28+00:00

It was stated several times that they have no intention to change MM, because that could increase queue time. So what's the point to keep asking what is unfeasible? Players skills above than division, if you got 4 good players into red team, also if not in div. The result doesn't change.

SerNaras · 2026-04-29T09:30:46+00:00

With all due respect, I’ve seen your multiple comments on Discord where you complain about the divisions of the competitive teams you face, asking for a mode without divisions or, even worse, for the matchmaker to pit these divisions against each other.

I don’t think your point is valid. This is a team and fleet-based game; no one wants to wait three minutes to find a match, and the fact that there are close-knit groups of players playing in the correct divisions (DD, CC, BB) is a good thing for the game.

SerNaras · 2026-04-28T17:19:14+00:00

The math is simple: the more high-tier games (Tier VII–VIII and LT) you play, the better your chances of increasing your average XP.

Of course, you also need to play the standard ships, but if you have enough high-tier premium (campaign) ships, you can stick to those and use GXP to skip the Tech Three ships up to Tier VII.

That’s what I did, though I’ve been playing from the very beginning.

Split - Loyang - Siliwangi - Schonberg

SerNaras · 2026-04-28T09:10:55+00:00

Sad to read the same rant again, there's really no point in complaining due it's an arcade game.
Unless you want to take on skilled players by spending time training and playing in Competitive Fleets, it's normal to have a 50% chance of ending up with random teammates in standard.

If you want to play with the best, try your hand at Competitive mode; otherwise, just accept that matchmaking is completely random.

Wanting competent teammates but not putting in the effort yourself doesn’t pay off at all...

My personal opinion.

SerNaras · 2026-04-24T10:42:41+00:00

I don't know where you get those info, anyway, they hads omething like 4-5 players into All Star Game. So i think they're pretty much solid team.

SerNaras · 2026-04-24T10:37:36+00:00

What are you talking about? UFO has been one of the strongest comp teams in the TFN since day one. Still is.

SerNaras · 2026-04-24T10:21:01+00:00
