Devs, plz at least make your game playable
I don't know if it has something to do with recent matchmaking changes, but I literally cannot even start a game right now. It is not even a balance problem, but just a huge disappointment that makes me seriously think about quitting the game after thousands of hrs of play. Here is what happened
As a survivor, when I try to join a game, it took much longer than before to find a lobby, mostly 30 secs to 1 min wait time, sometimes could be up to 3 mins. You may think 1mins wait is tolerable, but let me finish it.
After joining the lobby, most time (9 out of 10 times) I found that the ping is over 150, which means that the game would be unplayable since it can cause serious misjudgment when you drop a pallet, dodge a hatch, etc.
So I have to keep clicking "quit the lobby", "join a lobby", waiting for another at least 30 secs, then find the ping too high and quit again. Mostly, I have to repeat this circle for 9-10 times until I find one seems playable. Yea, it already makes me super annoyed. However, the nightmare just begins.
There was a huge chance that you get stuck at the screen of the loading map. The DBD just does not respond, and you have to kill the process of DBD and restart the game and repeat the horrible circles again to find a match.
Finally, if you are really lucky enough, you enter the map and begin the game, there is still a high chance that there are only 3 survivors, which literally make the game lose the meaning to play:)
As a killer, you just get constant dodged by survivors (maybe they are experiencing the same thing as me as the survivor). And you still get high chance to get stuck at the loading screen or finding only 3 survivors in the map.
Devs, plz, how can I even play this game when I have such an extremely hard time finding a lobby and beginning a match. I am not even starting some balance fix talk. It just bugs fixing which you definitely know that something goes wrong in match system or connection settings and you just need to debug and optimize, which should be doable for any programmer sitting in your office.
I know many people experience the same problem and complain in the community. Devs just keep saying they are testing but it has been weeks and we never saw a single upcoming patch.
Devs, what are you doing?!!

See this and bugs is what they need to address instead of new content. New content is cool and all but what's the point in releasing it if the game doesn't function well.

I know what you're saying, but to me 150ms is fine, it becomes a problem around 270ms+ in my opinion. As for the rest, all we can do is wait.

Not like this issue has been around since last patch. Feels more like they may have changed something in the matchmaking without telling us.

I've been seeing a couple of reports recently and something may be broken. Some people are able to get lobbies just fine while others are experiencing long queues, mismatched ranks, and high pings. Unfortunately it's 3AM over here and everyone's asleep, but it should be looked into as soon as possible.

matchmaking in EU sucks balls right now. either not working or ping over 200.

I got put into a match as a rank thirteen with my rank twenty friend, with two random people (both rank 2), and the killer was like rank 3.0
