Targem is cooked with this matchmaking system

I’m just trying to do my shotgun/AC/Energy/Flame/Cyro dailies, and then their matchmaking thrown me into a 13k lobby.


And the worst of all? the highest PS on the enemy is 18245 PS compared to my 7975 PS sniper car.

18245 - 7975 = 10270 PS difference, and
7975 × 2 = 15950 PS < 18245 PS.

On top of someone over a whole 10k PS above me, now you’re putting me against someone literally more than double of my size!?!?!?

Your matchmaking system had one job. ONE. JOB.

Had I not have an intoxicated addiction toward custom vehicle combat games, I would’ve literally uninstalled on the spot and play Destiny 2 instead.

At this point targem is unironically better off selling their entire franchise to someone else that is actually competent enough to retain new players.

cant blame the poor matchmaker when the game is completely dead.
i wonder when this shift in playercount happened, considering the immensely high quality updates that are consistently coming out

Everyone knows, do your 5 dailies in patrol.
But 8k vs 14k ps is wild lol… That’s why console is 6vs6 i guess. I can’t say I’ve ever gotten that big of a ps difference. If im 9k the most i’ll fight is 12k usually

Maybe if they focused on player retention instead of back-to-back battlepasses and outlandishly powerful (until nerfed) weapons, there’d be enough players to have more balanced matches.

stop with new stuff, we need maps/not modules and “perks” for everything.

‘Simple’ is always better.
but they have over complicated weps/parts/cabs/modules. ect …
i want to buy one thing and not have to buy another thing for that one thing.

That is a symptom of low population in the game so that is the reality we got to accept. Last night I was stuck playing the same clan for hours, no getting away from them.




At that point I don’t play tbh.

Same, i want passive perks not. Like cabins especially. So many for specific things.

True, but i’d rather longer ques instead of a guaranteed loss tbh.
Also… If players stopped quitting for the smallest things… Like when ammo was added, people quit. It’s like every update there’s something to make people quit.
Heli’s \ mechs added, people will complain about having to do a few challenges in next step, reason to quit? Apparently to some.

Not defending the devs at all, theres alot they could do.
but people gotta toughen up a little. I complain too, but it’ll take alot for me to up and quit.

Few people I used to play with quit for honesty the dumbest things so sorry for the rant :joy:

I really really really really can not stress it enough really hate when this happens

It was game after game too. People complain about getting queued against higher ps builds but that’s nothin compared to a team of randoms no matter the ps getting teamed up against the same clan war veterans over and over. I don’t mind playing against higher ps builds just has long has the teams are balanced and I’d take fighting builds twice my ps any day over 4 man veteran gank squads like I had to deal with last night.

The community itself is partly to blame for this obscene PS spread. People whinged incessantly about queue times taking a minute or more at both lower and higher score ranges, so the spread was increased. And then it increased again. And a third time I believe.

Targem has the final say, but impatient players did the game no favors either. Though at the same time, I think the loudest complainers were a certain regional demographic that does seem to get listened to more than us in the English-speaking domains.

people didnt quit because of a small little thing in an update that upset them one day.
people quit because there were one too many garbage and out of touch updates that have massively degraded every aspect of this game, consistently over the years

for the last week i stopped playing myself, because frankly there is nothing to play.
zero competitive gamemodes, one horrible standard MM gamemode (which is either just bad, or fully dead), the other gamemode with rotors and such is a joke, and then some PvE.
and even if you manage to engage in pvp, youre gonna lose because your shitty parts have been made obsolete by powercreep.

got into a match where 1 team mate in a raid spent the entire time in the back near the boss area doing nothing and leeching while me and my team mate did all the work. the stupid thing is he got points and got a reward for being lazy. this needs to be addressed to.

on top of this do your dailies in patrol vs ai, its less hassle that way.

Been talking about this for a year +.
Might have been the first to mention it idk.
But nothings done, infact more and more of these “Afk Raid Farm Bots” come weekly.
Free resources, sell to main account. I find it odd how they’re afk but can instantly re que. That’s why I say “Bot”, because I don’t think a person manually re ques after sitting afk for 10-20 minutes in a raid to then be right in my next raid…

I obviously agree, if doing that isn’t against rule or is an offence… Something should happen to these smurf accounts. (not saying all are smurfs or bots, just the ones I always see mostly are, different names but same builds etc.

I don’t give a shit about anything else than classic battles… that’s the only thing that i doo. The challenges and the rest is irrelevant to make me quit the game. BUT this ps mixing is another story… today i was literally 1 shotted fresh by a 23k on my 12k build and every match there was at least 2 or 3 20kish mosthly on my enemy teams and i’m done with this game until they fix this crap. Feeding the whales just because they can’t manage to revive their stupid game? I would be stupid if i accept this trash. That’s exactly what they are doing … since the game is dead due to their stupid choices they put low ps vs high ps so the whales have something to kill otherwise their ez puppets will stop dropping money on this. I can’t wait to see these big whales turning into small fish fighting themselfs and bots only and seeing their money wasted going to shit when they close this crap…

i think its because the player base is so low…not everyone can afford or even want to buy battle passes, pack bundles with coin or the resource and exp booster which costs money to… forgot what it’s called.
The point being developers dont care about people who play for free, they just want more money and even then weapons, hardware, and movement parts get nerfed again and again altering the market value of the particular item

of course, its the only thing to do in the whole game lol.
there is a single gamemode, hilarious

not to go against what your saying and this is only my opion, i think the helicopters are an interesting touch… However!!! what they did shocked me because they nerfed the reapers to stop vehicles from being able to fly with hovers in CW… And before that they nerfed the boosters to stop the semi flying slam dunk build… dont know if you lot remember that… mind you it only kinda flew as it was lauching and enemy in mid air… so my question is what the hell made them change their minds about flying vehcles???
