matchmaking is cancer

[SilentGamer]

Techland, have you ever considered diagnosing and testing the most appealing feature of your game? No? Well I am here to help you.
1. I never saw a lobby with more than 2 lvls at the ping section. I port forwarded steam but there is no difference. This is literally the only game where I have connection issues.
2. Modded items. Oh yeah, everyone loves them, except when they are the night hunters. They shouldn't be allowed in pvp. I don't believe that there is absolutely no way to filter the items but in case I'm wrong, there should be a section where we can post gameplay videos as proof and the people using modded items in pvp to be banned.
3. Normal difficulty. I just love it when people say "ez" at the end of the match while playing on normal difficulty with maxed out survivors. They shouldn't be able to be invaded. Or at least make a difficulty filter. Humans are already OP, there's no need for flare spamming and insta heal.
4. Health of zombies. I get it, night hunter needs assistance. But 10 hits to kill a viral with a golden weapon? Seriously? No wonder people are using modded items...
5. How come humans can drop out of the match, the match being declared as "Aborted" while the night hunter drop out is a guaranteed lose?
6. I'm surprised that bugs like tackle/pounce trough pannels or walls aren't fixed, or spits not going trough certain surfaces where they should be able to.
7. Game balance. Nighthunters literally don't stand a chance against 2 or more people unless they are maxed out. The fact that humans can do countless mistakes and still be able to survive while one mistake with the nighthunter ends with death 99% of the time makes the humans OP.
As long as these points remain unchanged, matchmaking will remain trash, and considering that 70% of the players already completed campaign, they won't bother playing this game anymore.

1. Cant help with that. Something with NAT settings?

2. Modded items dont really give advantage against Night Hunter itself - unless its autobow. 48k khopesh does same damage to hunter as 30 hitpoints gas pipe.

3. Normal difficulty is okay for new survivors - But agree, skilled survivor team playing in normal mode is bit lame. But its their decision if they dont want challenge themselves.

4. Try charged hit (aka power hit). Should kill all virals fast.

5. Humans can quit anytime with "aborted" end screen if hunter hasnt killed em. Vice versa, hunter can quit anytime with Abort-screen if he havent been killed before that.

6. Its was annoying and bit weird at start but I learnt to live with it.

7. Some say NH is OP, some say humans. Its endless fight of opinions and I prefer not to participate those discussions anymore. Imo game is well balanced. I just beated team way above my skill level (according matchmaking bars) with mutation 2 Widow maker - so "don't stand a chance against 2 or more players unless they have maxed out" is nonsense. And btw imo more survivors in same lobby means easier match for me as hunter. Split the group and take advantage of damage scale.

1. There is no NAT settings in game. I have searched on the forums and no one found a solution.
2. 48k dmg sword can 1 hit kill any other zombie so it's unfair.
6. We shouldn't have to live with it, it's a bug, it needs fix.
7. Well try playing against humans who actually know what they are doing, see how it goes. I'm very curious how you deal with 2-3 humans constantly having their eyes on you, waiting on lamps to drop kill you while 1 is off to kill nests. And if you add a bit of lag and a bit of modded items in the mix you got yourself a ra.pe.

2. 2k sword 1 hit kill virals too. You just have to use power hits as I said. If hunters gameplay relies to damage made by virals theres something really wrong with NH's tactics. In my opinion modded melees are lame but not game breaking. I wouldt blame them if I lose.

7. Ive done that countless of times, obiviously. Yes, I've lost (and won) many matches - but never felt like my ass was kicked and I didnt even stand a chance. Like I said, imo group matches are easiest to hunters and afaik many skilled hunter agree with this.

I just invaded you and some other with my Widow Maker (matchmaking showed full green bars a.k.a pefect match.)
Gotta ask: when you didnt even get to the first nest (or even halfway), did you still feel like humans are OP and hunter underpowered?

[Gattos]

Modded weapons will oneshot virals without charging the attack, does way more damage to nest because of higher weapon blueprints, as well as the extra weapon upgrade slot grants higher handling resulting to taking down nests faster as well as hitting the NH faster (I've tested this).

To answer your question: yes. Humans are definitely OP against hunters who don't have their skills maxed out. I didn't get to the nest bc I'm pretty much a noob with a survivor. And I believe your hunter skills are maxed out since you were able to use all 4 spits and you were also pretty fast so I don't see how that example could prove me wrong.

Then just don't make a thread if u are a noob. You don't really know what you are talking about cos you didnt play enough.

Can't you read? I said I'm a noob with the survivor not with the hunter. And you don't have to be pro to notice the errors of a game.
