Now matchmaking works (PS5), but

So they increased the time a game stays open for others to join.
Now I get in a 8 player baal run in hell all the time, the problem though is that it’s always the same game. Baal is killed, people leave and try to join a new game but enters the same one. And round and round it goes.
Really need a new system for this.

Wait, you found an 8 player Baal run on console? Like, today? I’m not finding any games still :frowning:

Yes, choose Boss->Baal and 8 players limit, full game all the time. Problem is that it’s always the same game because everyone doesn’t leave at the same time. So eveything is killed in the game.

Hopefully this is just a quick fix and there will be further improvement. I was getting a lot more people joining today. Probably more tonight than I’ve seen for the last cpl weeks combined.

If they are gonna keep this system they need a “recreate game with same people” button.

For sure. Or something like a vote to reset the lobby

Hey people, maybe add the console type (PS, XBOX, Switch) where you noticed that matching is now working.
As an example: If matching is now working on Switch this does not mean that matching on PS and XBOX is now working also.

Even the bug that games are still allowing players to join even when the sessions objective is completed, this is a new problem which needs fixing.

/edit Brought this issue with “matchmaking and objectives already completed, but sessions can still be joined” to the attention of Rod via Twitter. Feel free to chime in: https://twitter.com/Geridian/status/1445689804373458948?t=l6clMLmfvoD4JyCghRIrzA&s=19

Hmm, I’m not on Hell yet with my character, my shout/whirl combo barb is absolutely terrible for soloing nightmare lol. I could respec I guess… Still no games on my current difficulty, I’m on PS4 btw.

I’m on xbox. My account is linked to bnet it would be nice if they added console icons or something since we’re all lumped into one forum. If you choose specific boss/area the matchmaking should close after objective is clear. Otherwise I think its better to leave it open. Finishing a quest in the middle of a3 for example shouldn’t lock your game

I’ll check it when I’ll come back from work
I hope it will work boys.

It def needs improvement but it is better

To bad theres no system that could work where you can name the room baal run 002 and then make the next one 003. That would just be to hard on console…

I think your idea is impossible to implement… even if, nobody would want that :stuck_out_tongue:

That the session still can be joined although the objective is completed is, as Rod mentioned on Twitter, a “trade off” of increasing the timer for players being able to join sessions via party finder. Not perfect, but not that bad either.

it is bad.

required additional letters

What is impossible about it exactly? If they don’t do lobbies it would be a welcome edition

It was bad when it was never working, like before.
Now we have to wait for an improvement.

it was a joke… :stuck_out_tongue:
