I'm forced to only play with people in matches Hawken thinks are of my skill lvl.

1st: this ranking system is just as bad and wrong as it could.

2nd: There are so little servers for each mode, that only letting me join my "skill level" games makes it impossible to find a match to join for like hours!

This is really $/("$§)/&/ %$".

Not worth playing anymore.

As a server is filled up a new empty one is created, the best you can do right now is try and join an empty and hopefully people will join you.

Yeh, i know, but people who want to join may be also out of my "skill lvl" and can't join.

And the calculated skill lvl of the match will vary by every joined or left player..

My ranking (1300) is to high for most matches, although im still a newbie in this game.

If matchmaking then fits me in a match after hours i'm afk and kicked again or if i waited i simply dont wanna play anymore.. -.-

Sorry to burst your bubble but most matches are hovering around 1500 to 1650 these days. You shouldn't be having any trouble looking for matches. 1300 is considered low. You'll start having problems once you reach 1800 but there's nothing a packed friends list can't solve. Joining an empty game also fills up rather quick nowadays.

Your not bursting anyones bubble, because you telling me what problems i should have and not is quiet amusing.

Im ranked too high means getting out the range downwards.. <1300, you beeing ranked at 1800 isnt really a problem: play some matches an everything will be fine, dude! If im playing more matches the number of joinable games decreases to almost 0.

Im on the GB servers and they are 2-3 matches running for siege or deathmatch maximum. So you need to be very lucky to get in a match instantly!

I just mean that this new system of matchmaking doesnt improove the game experience, more the opposite.

I.. but... uhmm...

Well, you wrecked me there, man. I'm sorry. I should play more games so my lowly MMR can reach your divine 1300 ranking. On behalf of the other noobs who are above 1800, like myself (especially people who are beyond 2000), we are very sorry for the inconvenience your elite status has brought upon you. We promise to strive hard to bring our MMR down up to the 1300's so that we may enjoy matches with you.

Bro, a higher number is better.
1300 is really low.
That being said, I can understand why a low rating would also prevent you from joining matches.

You can get into any kind of match using the Quick Match instead of the server browser. The QM doesn't care what rank you have either.

why shouldnt the matchmaking care about my rank if serverbrowser does?

matchmaking takes at least 15 minutes average time to let me join a match.. its fact and unplayable, believe it or not (and dont flame around like this)

the Ranking system then isnt one.. unlogical and stupid..
i dont care about beeing ranked by a computer, i just dont wanna be provided from gaming..

why do people, the community doesnt need, reply/flame on a thread, if there even not getting the point?

Why is that hard to believe? That's why it's called quick matching.

I call bull. It doesn't take that long to join any match unless you're using a very small population region, like Oceania, or playing at the least popular times of day. I'm in US West and I was able to join several matches earlier tonight without waiting. When it's full, it takes on average less than a minute to join via QM.

How is it not a ranking system? If everyone is judged by the same criteria and that is used to place people into separated tiers indicated as being higher or lower by comparison, then that is by definition a Ranking system.

What the fuzzy bunny did I just read?

At 1300 you will be steamrolled in the beginner servers (which you should be able to get into by default). 1400 is beginner. 1600 is average. 1800 good. 2000+ omg wtf i don't even.

Maybe, maybe, i would like to stress this : MAYBE! He means, that he fears, that he cannot join any matches if his ranking improves further, because in UK there are 'too' many 'Beginner' Servers? Getting my drift?

I also play UK Servers, and sometimes I see three Servers with a too low rating for me (i'm avg, near 1700), but anyways i still can find matches.
ATM its 11:00am here in Germany and only a few servers ( not included mayhem / facility ) are being played. And some of them are too low for me.

He might think, that if he progresses further, he is stuck in a Gap, where he cannot join Beginner Servers anymore but also cannot join the more common, higher rated Servers?

(just trying to explain ;) )

Ranking system is nice. There's just not enough people in Hawken. This system would be good if at least 200-300 pilots would be online in each region.

P.S. How did you archieved 1300 rank, lol?

Ligge, all the higher skill level players have been having this problem since they changed it so you can only join games +- 200 skill points. I've been complaining at the top of my lungs for the past two or three days. If it makes any difference to the devs, who knows? Right now I suggest just trying to use the quick match or if you have a lot of friends, use them to join games.
