Please allow duplicate classes in PvE, or make class-based matchmaking a priority.


I just wanted to play the Tactical class and only got to once tonight before getting fed up and just launching Inferno on Ruthless before it could properly matchmake. I then sat for 15 minutes in the starting area waiting for it to match people with me, hoping this would guarantee I get to play as the Tactical marine for the mission, but only 2 people joined, and then immediately quit, presumably because they also wanted to play as a Tactical marine.


The first person joined and then quit about 5 times in a row. The servers were dead-set on putting that person into my match even though he was repeatedly quitting. I ended up finishing the mission solo with bots, something I didn't expect to succeed at, but I would have preferred human teammates.


This is getting ridiculous.


Edit: I believe the devs have said they plan to implement a class-based matchmaking system, but I wonder why it's taking so long, or it isn't a higher priority right now. Being able to find a lobby that doesn't already have the class you entered matchmaking on would solve so many problems if they aren't willing to budge on the class limits, which this team, or the team leads, seem dead set on their design decisions and unwilling to move despite how many people are frustrated with the current systems.

I agree , class lock its just ridiculous in my opinion, especially in a pve side where there is no competition at all. A thing is balancing the game to make weapons/perk working properly , another thing is taking away same classes combination because " It would be too overpowered " etc... Who the heck cares , we want to have fun and feel immersed in the 40k setting as much as possible , not competing like e-sport wannabe sweatlords ( which are by the way the people that ruins the game because of that mentality) in a pve game , taking away all the fun and make us wait ages before playing our favourite class. Not everyone enjoys every class , there are many people who like just one class and what they get its just frustration

Quite a few people, including myself, have been asking for this with everyone their own class. Some people have complained against this, but here's what I say about their main complaints:


- Team Perks shouldn't work together!: Well if you haven't noticed there is 3 Team Perks for each class, if I join a game and someone is the same class as me then I'll just pick a different Team Perk.


- People are characters as well as a class: True, but you are forgetting what it's like when playing solo. Your character says what needs to be said, whatever AI characters you get don't say anything. So whoever is the team leader, they are the ones who do the talking and anyone else is just the extra one who keeps quiet. Maybe make it so they have to be wearing a helmet so you can't see the characters face. In fact, I wouldn't even mind if I had to be a random Ultramarine as long as I get what class I want.

Although i love the idea, I dont think that it should be implemented into the regular pve matches, they should just fix the terrible match making, the other day i spawned into the launch bay and we were ALL bulwark. Maybe they could make a different mode like a free for all that allows duplicate classes, as well as removes some, or all of the weapon restrictions for classes, that still gives the same rewards and has the same enemies?

I made post about removing class-lock 2 months ago. Many people did too. But our voice here is ignored. Nobody checks what we write here now, no new ideas are added or commented by devs
