Improvement for online match making?

[Mordan]

Hi i bought PzC 2 only for MP.

Its quite a let down.

The interface for finding games is as pre historic as 9 years ago.

There is no feeling of anything.. Just an empty list. You don't know if people are actually playing this game.

Am I missing something? Friend list? Ranked mode? There is nothing!

Man. I feel the same way! I have no interest in single player and purchased for multiplayer but it seems largely neglected. And only 1v1? No 2v2, 3v3??? Steam says up to 8 players...

The MP works as per PzC1, with the option to play in realtime if you are both online. If there are no open games you can always post a challenge and wait for it to be accepted. You can play the game both asynchronously and head-to-head.

How many players can play multiplayer at one time, in game? Can you do 2v2 and 3v3?

[pipfromslitherine]

IIRC I believe you can, but there are limited maps which are set up for more than 1v1 currently. There will be a lot more MP content coming to give more NvN options.

Cheers

Oh I see. Any idea when the larger maps will release ?

the synchronized MP is a nice feature

but few will really use it since there is no good Match Maker..No feeling of online community.

Back with PzC1, the problem was finding good games... Its pointless to play against players of different skills.

You waste hours for nothing.

You won't grow the brand outside of die hard war gamers..

You want to attract those players who play PvP in World of Tanks. You need to provide a reason to come and play online. Right now its waste land.

Wargaming is making so much money... i gave them like 100 euros in the last 3 months. And its only because its online Player vs Player.

We understand the importance of ranked games, and this is currently in development. Implementation on the server side is done, now Panzer Corps 2 client needs to use that functionality, we will work on this.

Online MP will result in a crash to desktop if players take pause and try to replay in PBEM mode.

Is there a way to play with a friend/invite a firend? Or to make a password protected game?

We need this feature to be able to make future community tournaments.

I dont have any importance at all for ranked games ! I have importance for multiplayer to even work !

Please stop thinking at all about ranked games when we cant even play real multiplayer games...

The question was asked, and I answered. We are not working on it yet on the client side. Yes, existing problems are higher priority.

How do you mean MP doesn't work? I am playing games right now!

Also in the early days it will be hard to know which players are good or not. Even with ranked games, it will still take time to climb to a level where only good players are.

Maybe allow the player that setup a game to leave comments that can be seen by all, where he can say his play level?

Ok Kiss I can re phrase that Online multiplayer doesnt work in an acceptable state for a released game.

In saying this I only want to help improvements not discourage the Devs at all even though a lot of people are disappointed we can make strong improvements even by just talking about it.

First I would like to say after you have clicked on the online/ pbem button and joined the multiplayr area there is at the top left a small chat icon that will open a chat window that you can type in real time.

Please dont start games then get bored waiting and leave.. If you communicate with other players there is a lot more chance to get a game going. Find people that want to do the same kind of game as you do .. see how long they can be online maybe they can do 2 hours tonight and 2 hours the next nite ...

I would like to say that I am not at all a fan of the pbem at all the fact that if someone for any reason perhaps unreal4 crash .. disconnects from the game you can always wait for them if you are still connected they can rejoin and you can resume online play. If you end your turn it will upload the game and kick you out ... You could wait for them to rejoin or if you left you could keep an eye on your games list refresh and see they have rejoined .. then you can then rejoin it.. and multiplayer could continue..

Also be aware incase some dont see it there is an icon to bring up chat in the game as well so you can talk to each other..

Still hoping for a dedicated multiplayer sub forum im not sure if this is going to happen or not ?
