Greetings Focus:

Let me preface that I understand your reasonings for class limitations for PVE operations.

However, please re-tune PVE matchmaking to prevent same classes from joining a lobby where one's chosen class is already take ASAP. 

I just had a very unpleasant experience that has made decide to play something else for the night. I joined a lobby as a tactical, the other player being a heavy. We start a lethal run while a 3rd player join at the last moment. However, once we loaded in, I found that my class has been changed to assault, without any prompts, while the third player who joined is now the tactical of the team. I exit to the barge and try to load the same lethal mission again to complete an ordeal, only to be put into the same lobby I had just left, with the game asking me to pick something other than tactical or heavy. At that point, I didn't even bother to select a class and go back to the barge. I Alt+F4'd and came here to make this post.

Please, it has been months since release, and such occurrences have happened more times than I could count. And while I am usually happy to switch to different classes, I am not up for doing so when trying to complete ordeals and after witnessing other players not using a class to its full potential, in this instance after trying to work with a tactical that seemingly have no idea they could auspex scan. Thank you.

It is unfortunately the nature of the ship and by that extension the character customization UI at the armoury terminal. If people are unwilling to swap when they join in, block them. Eventually you will only have the players who are flexible and have not stubbornly decided to only play one class. Pick three, get good with them, and deal with it. Unfortunately the architecture of the game is why they cannot do what we want them to when it comes to MM unless they decide we can play duplicates.

I would not like a hard prevent join situation.  Maybe a toggle at least.  So the player can select, join first available game or first game with open slot for the class.  When I do quickplay I am mainly interested in playing as fast as possible.  Sure I have a class in mind I want to play, but if I join up and the class is taken I just change.  That way I am not waiting around. 

Agreed. The devs mentioned months ago a fix would take time, but here we are and still no update. The solution is simple. Remove class limits all together or have the matchmaking system verify your class has not been chosen before connecting you to the server. Bonus: how about adding a feature for players to be the host before starting a session.

Hello @PenitentInfidel thank for for your feedback, we understand your concern, and the dev team knows this is an issue. Would you please write your request into the ideas section rather than here? So that all devs have access to it. Many thanks 🙏

It's Sabre and we know all they can do is nerf the fun and piss off their players. That's why WWZ and their other games died.b

Just wanted to add if wanting to do specific ordeals pick your class, start a specific mission, and go.  Best chance of it just starting you in on the mission and have other players have to join in on you.
