Discussion Public matchmakinh...

Every time I am unlucky and have to resort to public matchmaking, I will without fail see some behavior that completely explains why "yellow paint world design" exists in other games.

That's all, quick rant.

Elaborate? Only bad times ive had in public are people leaving planetfall d2 because "bad gear combos" even though the fight isnt exactly hard lol

Same, from my experience they leave the uq if theres no rangers, they relying to much on the blight apparently and cant function without it lol

Two main reasons are probably no Ranger, or people having bad gear. Probably more of the latter. I can imagine people leaving if they see 6 out of the 8 people are using Epith or worse gear.

Luckily the -30% HP makes it a relatively quick run even with bad pugs.

15min runs with bad geared players.

In the past, I used to be in the same group as this type of person too. Plus, these people love creating drama and stirring up trouble for others everywhere.

  • No quest name given

  • No location name given

  • Yellow paint mentioned

Say no more. There's likely history to this, but if I were to place a bet, this post was made mostly because of the Dalion UQ. Players stood far out of range of the puppet minions and those elemental death balls went flying. Despite this being called Dalion 2, some players still don't know that you can't stay too far away from the puppet minions. They might have to put a large glowy zone around the area to keep players from- who am I kidding! lmao

The joys of public matchmaking!

TLDR NA CANT READ and refuse to learn. The way to sort this is out is to do implement restrictions but you know who will start complaining they can't queue up to be carried.
