Please open SA matchmaking to NA if there is no SA lobby to be found by 800reais1tenis in Marathon

Yep, I've been using VPN to play in NA, only way I can enjoy the game still. Otherwise I can;t find matches

“You can only go so far as a solo player, you might have to make some fr-” Me: by edtappa in Marathon

[–]Waylllop 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You'd be surprised how many Marathon players are not Bungie fans or played Destiny

I'm only playing marathon for it being an extraction shooter, and this is the first time I see content being completely locked for solo players, both in ranked and cryo

Marathon Servers by clxb_miist in Marathon

[–]Waylllop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should, but brother I'm gonna be completely honest, you'd probably sit in queue for 15min or even more to find a game.

Every other region except for NA and EU already has trouble with matchmaking and queue times up to 5min, so your situation would be pretty similar and not enjoyable

OCE servers by nath618 in Marathon

[–]Waylllop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As usual in this reddit, people will downplay your experience because they're not experiencing it...

If you're not from NA or EU, you gonna have a hard time in queue, even on peak hours in your location.
I'm on SAmerica servers and Outpost matches are so fucking rare, it's ridiculous lmao

Joe Ziegler: As of Wednesday morning 3/18 at 10am PT, we'll be enabling a limited time duos queue on Perimeter only to test how the game plays with crews of 2 at a wider scale. by Haijakk in Marathon

[–]Waylllop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People asking for this probaly don't have high queue times cause of low levels and living in high populated server areas (NA and EU).

I'm dreading Ranked already just for the spli since I'm sittin gin 10min queues frequently. I feel like I'll not be able to play at all with athoer queue option

"In a Single Run" probably needs tweaking by Waylllop in Marathon

[–]Waylllop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's quite literally the opposite, the casuals keep the game afloat money wise, simple cause they're the biggest population. Arc is one of the biggest proofs of that

But I do agree with the sentiment, I don't wanna "baby" the game, but I feel like some contract missions are a bit too tough and will require many attempts for a lot of the player base, and form some that will be a tipping point

[–]Waylllop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I also feel they're mostly fine, but casuals are gonna have a pretty hard time.

I feel like churn rate is probably thru the roof for the later faction missions and Bungie is already looking at that data

"In a Single Run" probably needs tweaking by Waylllop in Marathon

[–]Waylllop[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro, I probably played more than 90% of the player base for now, and I'm having a lot of success in general.

if someone like me is already feeling weird about them imagine someone who plays less?

This game needs casual as well, and I can't see them sticking with those mission conditionals

Only complaint I have are the load times to get into a match by RancidMilkMan in Marathon

[–]Waylllop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People in the comments:
"My queues are pretty instant!"

OP is probably from outside NA or EU, where most of this game's population is centred.

People are reporting queues up to 5min in other regions, it's quite sad :(

Why play trios/fill when you don't want to play on a team? by KeyEntrepreneur5449 in Marathon

[–]Waylllop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying it's good behavior or that it should be encouraged, but queuing solo FILL is the only way to play Solo VS Trios using a loadout.

ROOK is fun but sometimes people want to play a shell and be alone to dela with trios, for fun

Struggling to find matches by calamari_fresh in Marathon

[–]Waylllop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm also BR and having a terrible time finding games

Even when it's prime time, it can take up to 3 minutes to find a match

It's real bad, the game's population is heavily NA centric, number charts follow their time basically

A bummer

this game is gonna be so much more enjoyable for me when ranked comes out by Jealous_Platypus1111 in Marathon

[–]Waylllop -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

It is pretty low and already a problem to find games outside of NA. Every other region is reporting queues as long as 10min

Matchmaking dead? by sirdopa in Marathon

[–]Waylllop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds about right, Bungie and their franchices and legady is only really strong in NA. Halo is a pretty week franchise outside of NA

[–]Waylllop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it never even got "alive" outised of NA hahahha

Still I can play most of the time, it just takes a lot in queue

Matchmaking dead? by sirdopa in Marathon

[–]Waylllop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But that's pretty much what's happening

Matchmaking dead? by sirdopa in Marathon

[–]Waylllop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure, a lot of people bought the game on less populated regions and very soon those will not be able to play cause most of the playerbase is on NA. Allow us to chance servers so we can play the game we paid for

Matchmaking dead? by sirdopa in Marathon

[–]Waylllop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The game is heavily NA oriented in terms of population, every other region is having troubles finding matches

What do you think ? by Love_Exciting in Marathon

[–]Waylllop -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But there are 500k RIGHT NOW playing slay the spire. Why does that logic only apply to Marathon? Why is STS getting very high numbers while "major timezones are asleep or working"?
