Oof, sorry about this, folks. We’re working on it as fast as we can.

In the mean time, just so you know: I’ve noticed a lot of people commenting that they’re restarting their search after a few minutes. You definitely don’t want to do that—the way MM works, it gets more forgiving the longer it runs (until it times out), so if you restart it every few minutes you’re shooting yourself in the foot.

Thanks for your response, I got the Valiant rank just before the update, then matchmaking time went from 50s to 6min, but the couple games I had were only with high skill players, that was great, but then I got kicked out of 3 games just after joining the lobby and got the "leaver penalty". Since then, I just can't find a game even if I wait for the full 10 minutes.

I appreciate that you are trying to improve MM and the couple games I played were awesome but I can live with a wider skill range as long as I'm not playing with/against teams with 3 people with lvl 6-10 like it was before :-)

For both modes, or are you currently just focusing on Fleet Battles match making at this time?

It used to be about 10 to 60 seconds for me solo. I'm currently galactic ace rank, but it was always the same no matter how high the rank from Hero up to Ace.

Duo used to be roughly the same. 3 stack used to be a little longer, up to 3 minutes. 4 and 5 stack could take 3 to 5 minutes.

Right now, solo is impossible. I've queued about 10 to 15 times, each time it's timed out after 10 mins. Tried a duo queue and that worked after 15 minutes, but the lobby crashed. Tried a 4 stack and that landed us in a game vs a 5 stack after 5 mins. The enemy team all good level, which is good, but our 'random' player was pretty poor. The enemy team were 2 legend, 2 valiant and 1 placement account, which looked to be an obvious smurf account. One of our guys in legend 2 lost over 60 points.

Got to say, me and some of my team mates I play with have just lost all motivation to play now. Not being salty about it, but we queue for a LONG time as a 4 stack, then get a game again...

Yup. I hit Legend a few days ago and after waiting about 2 hours total trying to get into various fleet battles (between just saying ‘f**k it’ and trying out the new ships in practice mode), I’ve given up. I’ve played FB on this game almost every day since launch, and now I’m shut out.

Shoutout to /u/tibermoon for personally taking this on. He was determined to do right on this.

Back at launch, I'd wait a maximum of 3 minutes to find a match. I'd get in and play with people from other countries and it was fine.

These days, I'll wait for 8 minutes to try to play Fleet Battles vs AI then quit. Then I'd try to play Dogfight and wait for 8 minutes then quit and not try again for a few days.

Still broken in Australia.

Is MMR based entirely on win/loss or does it take something more granular like points scored or K/D into account? Or is that a trade secret?

To further clarify, the game has a non-public skill ranking for each player in each mode and this skill ranking is used for match making. Your current player level and operation rank are not included in that skill ranking, correct?

Ignore the fact that we got smashed in a couple of games yesterday. Those don't count.

No actually the bug I'm referring to is before you start the mission not half way throw. It is after you have chosen your ship and they cutscene where the cruiser-carrier enters the mon cala system.
