No matter the time I would like to be able to play my favourite game^^

I just want NADEO to know that im not just posting to complain here. Ive been asking my friends to play the game. Even family. We hosted a big cup with CPLAY with some decent prizes and I even talk about SM on other forums. :thumbsup:

*doing my best*

The thing is, SM needs to be better & bigger.

Yes, join the beginner matchmaker and sit there for atleast 15 minutes before you get -1- game. Also, remember to enjoy the utterly terribly maps in the beginner matchmaking lobby.

Oh, and don't forget the awesome unbalanced teams because it's only balanced using a PUBLIC LADDER ranking.

And then, even if all 6 ready up right after that game you'll have to wait atleast 4-5 minutes before the next game because of how slow the algorithm expands the search-criteria in ladder-difference.

Yeah, go matchmaking, it's awesome. I can't believe not more people use it.

A lot of people are enjoying the matchmaking (and the maps, and I have the votes to prove it) even if the matchmaker is far from being perfect.

Current votes from beginners :

|| 48 || Elite - NightWatch ||
|| 44 || Elite - Citadel ||
|| 38 || Elite - ArchWays ||
|| 36 || Elite - HouseKeeping ||
|| 33 || Elite - SolarFlare ||
|| 32 || Elite - BoxedIn ||
|| 28 || Elite - GreenValley ||
|| 22 || Elite - LadyStar ||
|| 17 || Elite - WetWork ||
|| 14 || Elite - AllYourBase ||
|| 1 || Elite - Fortress ||

Not that bad for "utterly terribly maps".


At the moment the biggest issue is the lack of players that cause the matchmaker to wait for too long.

[edit] Yep i've splitted and deleted the old topic as I don't want to lose more time in it.

always keep your cool NADEO :) (magnetik) :oops:
and please don't tell players to leave ... Who am i going to play elite with if he leaves too?

Slowly but surely its getting worse for SM.
I read some posts stating that there were fewer players due to holidays... but holidays are over and its worse.
Qualifiers are over. Teams that didnt qualify left the game. etc etc.

Sadzealot is probably frustrated but its his right. Im a bit frustrated too. Coming to these forums is extra frustrating. Always more & more bad news and when people make suggestions its not good.

A start would be to share some information about the coming update. Give the players something to look forward too.
(ingame features, changes, bugfixes as well as marketing plans.)
This might lighten mood a bit. :thumbsup:

forcing players to vote "utter terribly maps", because they are THE ONLY they can vote for, don't make those maps good. :thumbsup:

|| 48 || 77 || 29 || Elite - NightWatch ||
|| 44 || 71 || 27 || Elite - Citadel ||

No offense, but you can clearly see tht most people(50%+) arent happy with the maps?
So whoever said in this thread that those maps arent the best is right?
Btw ur legend is wrong. Its '+ total -'

This number frightens me.
