Hi,
i wish they will improve the "find other Player" -system.
So you starting your Game looking forward to play some nice rounds with your friends, so i have over 50 Friends in Breakpoint, but in most cases there are just a few online, or playing in a different mode i dont wanna play. So lets find new people right?!
At the moment you can choose between 6 options, No specifications/ Explore/ Mainmissions/ Fractionmissions/ Raids/ Rollplay,Immersive. But in my opinion this isn't work quite well, its like you spinning on a wheel of fortune, you never know what you get.
Ok i met some nice player through this method, and also sometimes its nice to jump in to a bunch of unkown player and play some rounds what ever they do.
Specific Player search:
But in the most cases i search for a specific Game experience, i often dont gets a nice hit.
In my Main-Character i played in Gearscore mode, over 600 hours of Breakpoint, the game starts to get boring for me, five days ago i started a new charakter with hardcore immersive settings, (always injured, few bandages, no minimap etc), so for me the whole game is changed, its challenging and i totaly fall in love with it.
So atm i have only three player in my friendslist that playing like that. To find new player with closly the same specific setting like i have, with the actual Search-system is for me, like i said before, spinning on a wheel of fortune.
Sure we are able to play with different settings together, but i think, with different modes, there are different game styles for success needed.
But also if you search for other players, and you dont have that specific needs, you often gets the same result, for example, you joining two times to the same player that is still AFK. Sometimes i cant believe that just 8 Rooms/Servers are searching for player,
To fix this:
a very basic way is, to use a system were you can choose in a list, like it usual used in the past by many games.
So you have your room-title, like "We play stealth", or "Only with microphone","Hardcore immersive", so you can name it what ever you want., you can see how many players are in the room, and maybe some information-Tags like Mainmissions etc. So it will be much easier to find the right session to join.
An advanced but also more complexe method will be, if we are able to manage our own room (Server / My online mode), so i can set rules, for example, only 1 weapon, always injured etc, for each of these settings you can make parameter like, different settings allowed or not allowed.
So when a player wants join my room, he have to accept my rules and settings, this maybe will appear as a list, to see what settings will be changed.
When the player still join my room, the system will automaticly change his settings, after the player leave my room, all his original settings that he had before will be restored.
just as an idea...
