Then I don't know what is wrong. Because I bought the game on Day 1 in February 2018 and in the first months it all went fine. We did some boss runs and whenever we encountered players the odds were even - I did 16 kills and died 11 times so it was fine.
Then I took a break and ever since I have no actual chance to win a shootout anymore. No matter with which of my friends I team up. My stats now are 21 to 67. Considering I already had 16 kills back then it means my recent stats is 5/53 (this means I am currently dying 91% of the time we encounter other players)
I always thought it happens because we 10-30 hours playtime get matched to 1000+ hours playtime dudes. I don't know how you calculate skill? Does K/D ratio count in? But if newer players get wooped 91% of the time by hardcore pros then it means they probably won't stay for long.
It is elo based, so if you die a lot, sooner or later you will be facing "worse" players so it matches your skill level. It calculates pvp rating, we had a blog earlier explaining it on the Hunt website, please give it a read! https://www.huntshowdown.com/news/hunt-s-new-skill-based-matchmaking-system-explained
I thought skilled based match making was disabled a while ago.
That is not correct, it was never disabled! :) we have introduced some tweaks here and there, but that is it.
Oh okay, I didn't know that. But I think I have identified the biggest problem of the game's state. There is no skill based matchmaking. I found out I am going against prestiged players all the time while I am on my first play. So naturally I never win anything and it gets frustrating.
I guess that is why players are leaving the game right now. Every match is just pros playing against each other and newer players don't get a foot in the game.
The matchmaking is skill based. Therefore ranks or prestige ranks do not matter! :)
Can you please clarify whether this will include our statistics such as our K/D's etc etc?
Yes, it will include all user stats.
Does that also include the Book of Monsters?
Yes, it does. The Book of Monsters is a test run for us at the moment and we still plan on adjusting unlock requirements for 1.0 here and there. Also there will be some additional mechanics added to this, making a wipe of the unlocks for 1.0 a reasonable decision. We will talk about this further in one of the upcoming dev streams.
Are we talking all stats including K/D and the hidden ELO score? Like clean slate for everybody?
This is correct!
