    If I'm matchmaking for strategic ambush, I'm ****ing matchmaking for strategic ambush

    Jesus Holy Christ.

    If you (Ubisoft) create achievements where people have to be in strategic ambush, like the one for the bloody haze mask, when I am ****ing matchmaking for a mission with strategic ambush can I only get invites from groups that set that mission as ****ing strategic ambush instead of ending up in groups with different modifier? I am not ****ing interested in the mission itself, but the modifier, because I am looking for jesus christ mask.

    Is it so ****ing hard?

    Thayer probably not going to change anything much at this point. Best bet is to create a 'looking for group' and get people who also want to do the same thing you are doing. I've found some really good players from that and you can weed the others out cause you're in control.

    Matchmaking has been a mess since the first GE. But this time, it is especially irritating. I need five attempts on average to find a group that plays indeed Stategic Ambush when I am in matchmaking for Strategic Ambush. Apparently, there are hardly any players left who want to play with modifiers.

    As a workaround, decline invitations from other groups and wait when people join your group where you are the leader and can choose mission/modifier.

    I understand your frustration completely. ToxicFrag stated one work around. The other work around is to start the mission, go inside the mission area, then go to your group settings and change it to open group. Then just start playing and you'll get players joining soon after most times.

    Yep, get it started and then open it up. It really is a great example of incompetence that you match-make for one thing and get put in another. This should of been fixed the very next patch but its been this way since the first GE. They just havnt given a crap about the game in so long its maddening.

    One of the most infuriating things about the game. For sure.

    This issue exists since the first ever global event, I don't think it will change in an eventual future title update.
