btw wbmm > gf server
idk why everyone stopped playing
because lapache's brain still hasn't worked out that he has to make it seasonal to make it work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Or I just don't care enough. I'm quite active on native again and people like you are just not worth the effort. Sorry for everyone else.
you still didnt do anything in the early days of mm back when u were active even though it'd already been mentionned multiple times so ye nah i stand by my initial hypothesis
It was active for quite some time and now people seem to have played enough for now. I don't exactly see your point. Why would I make it only temporary available while people were still willing to play? As long as people want to play, and matches were happening there was literally no reason to shut it down. Currently there isn't enough intrest anymore and people are having a break of it. I don't see a big issue in that and neither should you unless you wanna play so desperately on broken servers, with shit admins or whatever you kept crying about on this thread . I won't bother looking your weep posts up.
Didn't do anything? I did enough spending countless hours making it happen, looking for devs, convincing our devs, finding admins, setting up servers, looking for new hosts, trying out different servers, helping people with their accounts or occurring issues with other people etc. You seem to be forgetting that I still do all of this stuff for fun and that Matchmaking exists on native as well adding other regions that require assistance as well.
you not seeing my point is precisely the issue. MM's activity relied solely on being fueled by hype and momentum that can be sustained only by having a break every now and then and i dont understand how it can be that hard to conceive the idea that making it available 24/7 to the players would inevitably make them lose interest. I can make a comparison with LoL and a game-mode called URF that they made seasonal precisely for the aformentionned reasons
if you dont wanna take it from me, take it from an actual game design company. Perhaps not the best balance team but they know a thing or two about playerbase management.
doing it for fun or not is irrelevant. MM started, you got feedback, you ignored it, MM died, end of story. I dont think it had anything to do with "not caring", i think you just made a mistake - i wont label it as lack of commitment since you seem to genuinely not know what i'm on about + you just gave me a long list as evidence of your commitment - and i wouldnt mind had you acknowledged it instead of dismissing criticism as weep posts, had you simply provided a brief explanation as to why you wouldnt change it, or had you even specified from the beginning that u wanted this to be a one-time thing and not a lasting game-mode, but you didnt so
You took "didnt do anything" too literally, i meant you didnt act upon the suggestion of making it seasonal even though it was credible. There's even a good chance that it actually would've required less work than having to manage it full-time, but again it just seems you just never cared to think it through
apparently i come across as ungrateful and rude? im not, the combination of wasted potential of a good idea compounded by how effortlessly it couldve been avoided just baffles me. W/e past is past i guess so no point discussing it, if you bring this back in the future for whatever reason i can only hope that you wont be arrogant like crusher and ignore feedback on no other (irrelevant) grounds than "they never admin"
stay safe and get the vaccin bois
