    [All Platforms] Seamless Maintenance – Deathmatch Preferred Game Mode Fix

    Thanks to your feedback, we discovered this morning that the “Preferred Game Mode” option in Deathmatch wasn’t working properly. At 11:30AM EST (16:30 UTC) today we will perform a seamless maintenance (no restart required) which will guarantee your preferred mode (Elimination or Skirmish) takes priority in the first 2 minutes of every Matchmaking attempt.

    Note: Skill and Location Parameters will be relaxed in priority over the Preferred Mode parameter.

    Please also fix the Peacekeeper's Triple Jab how the 2nd and 3rd hits are bugged and don't apply bleed damage T~T

    It's still impossible for me to join a Skirmish match (Xbox One) as well. So that Daily Contract was worthless.

    Add me to the list of players who don't understand why it's not possible to choose Elimination or Skirmish exclusively.

    I enjoyed the campaign and some Dominion PvE today. The inability to play Skirmish mode is my only major complaint about the game so far. The rest is great.

    Well, thanks for the work. Base design has a lot to be questioned, but at least this is an improvement.

    Updates

    I played last night for about 4 hours. I was able to find matches pretty easy some of the time and sometimes it seemed I would have to restart the game and then try to jump in a game. The load times between games and rounds are too long. You guys should focus on getting the matches started just a tad bit quicker instead of camera panning, but I ignorant to maybe if there is a reason why there is a lot of panning and presentation before the match. Also a friend of mine can't get past the splash screen and I've invested about 4 hours trying to help him out and everything that fixes other games has not worked on this particular problem. We have very thoroughly troubleshooted it in every way that I could think of. I have looked all over the internet for fixes and none of them work. I think it's not updating or something along those lines. However so, the game is awesome and I appreciate the mix up. I am 32 and been gaming since I was like 5 and this is a really fresh system you guys have put into effect and I love it. I just hope my buddy can get his copy fixed so we can play together. He bought 2 copies, one discounted and 1 on steam and had no luck whichever way. So please invest time in figuring out why some users can't get past the splash emblem.

    Elimination and Skirmish need to be seperate

    Elimination and Skirmish feel VERY different when playing. I strongly feel we should have the option to only play one mode or the other. Personally if I'd rather have Skirmish grouped with Dominion - they feel more alike than Elimination
