New Scenario Matchmaker Test 27/01/2026

I have created this account 10 years ago if I remember correctly in 2016 and playing scenarios solo was always a miserable experience from the moment I started until this rework, scenarios never worked perfectly, there were attempts to fix scenario matchmaker before and those changes had to be reverted because population was too low and players had to make a tough decision to be able to at least play the game in an unfair unbalanced environment instead of waiting 1.30 hours in queue, that is why we are advocating for cross realm matchmaking, to make scenarios pop faster, more balanced and enjoyable for everyone. You can already see the feedback from tier 2-3 scenarios when population is low there compared to tier4 any kind of matchmaking process takes ages it cannot create balanced setups because there is no one in queue. This could also happen when population is lower in t4. Cross realm matchmaking can remedy that problem a little bit. Anyway at the end of the day we are just giving feedback its for others to decide what to do, so many people already invested so much time developing this. Many thanks for their efforts, they really made this game better.

Long que times was a given with this change. It is not a bug but a feature of having matchmaking. You are arguing to make scenarios more enjoyable for you, not for all. Cross realm make scenarios worse for me for example. I dont like long ques either and would prefer to not even have a matchmaker. Lack of matchmaking never was the main issue. It is a band aid that was tried before and then failed just because ques became atrocious. Hopefully the new system will work better but that ques will be longer is unavoidable.

Absolutely, I said that in my first post too its just my opinion and its just a suggestion from my part, that is what I think it would be better for the server; scenario matchmaking to have a cross-realm queue but I might be just wrong, it might never be implemented, it helped ranked when they introduced it as well, anyone who were playing ranked before the cross-realm queue and after would also say the same imo.

Sacrificing the spirit of the game should not be our first option when it comes to improving scenarios.

Max himself admitted in his comment earlier that there are lots of bugs to be solved and optimizations to be made in the matchmaking system. Let's wait for the final version before judging whether the queue times are too long or not.
