Posted March 16 2013 - 01:22 PM

It's five o'clock here on the east coast. I am dreaming of playing Hawken tonight but since I have a decent skill rating of course I'm not allowed to play on servers that have more than 3 or 4 people in them. Oh, if there are any servers at all. I also get the feeling that the devs do not care one bit about this either. I'm sure RentAKnight is sitting on the forums waiting for me to complain about this and already has a smart remark to make. Oh and yes I was able to find a few decent games today, but after about 1pm, it pretty much went all down hill. I guess I'm going to have to call my buddies tonight so we can stare at a wall or play another meaningless and lifeless game of Halo 2. Sad thing is, that's becoming better than Hawken for me now it seems :(

Try using the Quick Match system, I guarantee you'll find a game in short notice.

Get your hard on.

I sit there and watch the wheel spin before it tells me it can't find a match...

Is this what the forums are going to become now? Spamming of threads like these?

I must be luckier than I thought then. Don't worry, I'm sure the devs will adress this as soon as possible.

Having 2k+ rating I've never had a problem finding a game using quick match system. Joining servers from server browser tend to get me high ping anyway.

Pretty silly to chastise someone for expecting to actualy play a video game.  These game limmitations are very realistic concerns that prevent people from playing.  I hope things are fixed soon but I doubt they will since it is an ongoing problem across multiple game versions.

How dare you insult Halo 2. Maybe you weren't around when Halo 2 dominated xbox live, but Halo 2 was boss. People actually competed and trashed talked in that game unlike the current halos. It had some flaws, but it was the greatest online halo.

Notice on RentAKnight's own photo there are like 1 game he can join that isn't full or the stupid laggy as fuzzy bunny 24 person games. Plus facility test map is basically a pile of incomplete fuzzy bunny that shouldn't have been released yet.

Having trouble finding servers at the primetime of gameplay raises some eyebrows. TBH, everybody can join the test servers and the 24man ones... so I think the odds of not being able to find a server at all at this time is sort of slim. I was just in a west coast server that was like 1900 or so about 20 mins ago. However, that is not the case when you are a night owl that plays at really weird times... then it is understandable. I think everybody largely agrees that something needed to be done about newbies getting frustrated, as well as the fact that there is a problem with the current system for higher ranked players. They will do something about it, hopefully soon. Until then maybe I will take some decent advice on this problem here and start a thread.

Sorry for all those fuzzy bunnies. But they help me get the fuzzy bunning point across better I believe.

One might get the impression this game is still in beta or something.

Noobs constantly complained that matches were imbalanced.  The vets had no sympathy for them.  Said "it's beta."

Now that the vets are on the other side all they want is for the devs to drop whatever they are doing and make it better for them.

This is a double standard.

So how many of these topics are you going to post daily? I think the first one was enough to go on.

I would actually follow the server peaks. Although it sets your ping to something unplayable, it is still slightly better than not playing at all.
I am known as a few names. Sicarius_X, PilotError, and Archangel. Also, C-class master race ;)

The best hours for me to play are unfortunately means the only matches I can get are in EU timezones.
That means 200+ ping, which is just as frustrating as not being able to play, because essentially I'm not able to play.

Well, this is by far the most passionate I have ever been about any issue in this game and I don't want anyone to think that I am letting up on my opinion in anyway. Mostly because I believe that this needs to be addressed with urgency and I don't want to wait for weeks on end to be able to play reliably again. This has really taken a lot of fun out of the game. Also, I always tried to join the highest skill possible servers but sometimes that meant going into some 1500s just so I could play in a game that had a good amount of players. I really don't think I ruined anyone's gaming experience. Also, with a skill rating of 1900 I am not by any means among the best players, actually I'd say 1900 is better than average but there are some people with 2000+ scores that are far better than I am. Also, I have invested over $100 into this game (Because I think this is a great game with a lot of potential) and I just want to be able to play.
