Che Team Forza:
At this point, I'm not even asking for folks to be "grateful" or "thankful". I mean, we have no right to expect those sorts of attitudes. All I ask for is a little patience. The biggest issue with hoppers right now is that we need to introduce more of them that fulfill what the community wants to play. And we will.
Posting nasty stuff in the forums isn't going to make that process go any faster. In fact, it'll just get you banned. So please be patient and let it play out over the next week or two.
Thanks.
All we want are some straight ahead answers here in this forum, not over at neogaf. I'm sure you aware of thread that has 76 pages, full of people that are unhappy with the decision to change the multiplayer part entirely and are eager to get some answers. It basically boils down to two major questions that haven't been answered so far (or I'm not aware of it)
1. Why can't there be both options? Matchmaking for those who want it and public lobbies for the "old school" players.
2. Why was System Link removed?
Also, do you really want us to believe that there are far more people preferring the matchmaking over the public lobbies? Please, don't pretend we are not there. The least you could do is be honest and tell us that you don't care about our wishes. That way we would know where we stand. But I guess that is not gonna happen, now is it?
I've been giving you guys straight answers for days now. Don't worry about me posting at NeoGAF. It doesn't mean I'm not reading the forums here. Landin posts here too and often him and I will discuss the same things before he posts here. Multiplayer matchmaking is the future of online console gaming and so far it's going well for FM3. We continue to monitor the servers and player behavior to optimize for better settings and also to create new game types. It's an ongoing process so please be patient.
1. Because we do not want to dilute the matchmaking system. The new system exists as a replacement of the old system. If you want custom lobbies, then organize some people to play in your own private lobby. Otherwise, play matchmaking.
2. System link was cut for a reason -- probably technical. I'll need to talk to a developer about what those technical reasons are, but at this point in this thread I'm not sure if the "why" really matters.
