Hello!

Our 3v3 Arena's mode for searching team members was changed recently. Yes, before you can find other players to team up from other servers but now, you have to find and create a team of 3 peoples from your server or merged server to successfully launch match-making or pairing phase. I'm not sure what was the idea or reason for the changes but for now, let's just find a way to resolve this problem on our own. Sorry for the inconvenience and I hope you understand. Thank you.

Hi!

I do understand but it's a shame it was changed. It would be nice if devs would reconsider this change in the future if possible.

Anyway, thank you for the response and insight.

Hello again!

Don't worry, I will try to ask them or our team to review your suggestion/request and to be sure, I will also note this in my report. Thank you for bringing this up and I appreciate your understanding. Thank you.

Because of this change I am not able to get Minato Suit and I have been waiting for him since he first appeared on the Chines Serves.Thanks.

And why Only 70 Itachi frags? Like come on, wtf..

Not only that. But it was simply nice to have another way to talk to people from other servers in-game. Sure you can try talking when you're doing normal arena or whatever but you're much more likely to get a response when you're playing as a team not against each other xD

so a laggy, bugged to hell event instead of being fixed, oasis actively made a choice to make it even worse?

Amazing, truly amazing

You can wait like hours and not get in a mach.... it is so *! I am not kidding I tried to play on first that and till today I only managed to play 3 times in the Arena...

I guess R.I.P Minato.

Actually, the "laggy, bugged to hell" part you mentioned WAS fixed by the "make it even worse" part you mentioned.

So it's more like a trade off. You EITHER suffer lag and bugs, OR you suffer long queue time or having to find 2 more people on your server to team with you.

If I have to choose I'd say that lags and bugs > being unable to play at all.

Sure, I can go play with me, myself and my 5 alts but that's not exactly the way this game is supposed to be played...

How one would choose depends on how active a server is. I personally don't mind the current state as I can easily get 2 groupmates to do it with me. Or even if not, getting people from my server is not hard, either. Most people who can't play are usually from inactive servers like yourself, which I can understand why it would be a problem. But you have to understand that the change was made in respond to complaints about lag from everyone. The lag was most likely caused by the fact that people from multiple servers were in 1 team, and most of the time interserver teams suffer an disadvantage because of that.

The best solution would be having current matchmaking as default, but also give an option for people to look for teammate cross server. However, I'm not sure if this could even be applied/complement.

Hmmm, I agree. The point of view depends on the activity of the server. The thing is on top on not having many people in my server very few actually want to participate in 3v3. Yeah, I don't think having an option to choose if you want cross-server match or not would be possible at all. Or perhaps do something similar to how normal arena works? Give priority to first match people from your server and after say 5 minutes of waiting switch to looking cross-server? Because the current waiting time is absurd. Yesterday I got no match at all...

is that true?

myself and the guys in my group i often team up with still get the bugs that require us to reload.

and still experience the problem of when we do relog, we see round 1 when everyone else is already on round 2 or 3
