PvE Matchmaking Overhaul - The Single Biggest Source of Frustration

Needs to be done. The time it takes to get into a game is way too long, initiating a quick play and getting put into someone who's afks lobby 2-3 times back to back is infuriating, and the amount of times I just get booted back to the title screen is rough. 

totally agree, the matchmaking needs reworked, especially the joining of games with the same class as you when they designed the game for no duplicates.

and just today I was in my own lobby waiting for a friend to rejoin when a random joined when we didn't even have a mission selected. didn't even know matchmaking was active before you select a mission. and then felt bad about having to kick them so our friend could rejoin, wasting that random's time.
(I know now to put the lobby to private even when I have a full squad of friends)

Hope developers don't just blindly focus on pushing out new content. 

The server and matchmaking issues have persisted since the game's release and has not been properly addressed.

I don't care if their contract for using the IP or Publisher requires them to push out periodic content. Your game isn't properly functioning on Multiplayer, what makes you think people would care about more content when they spend more time trying to match in the lobbies than playing the game itself.

Please be considerate and responsible developers and fix these game breaking issues before you try to push new content.

Agreed. This has to be the main focus of the devs. This is a problem from day 1 and a lot of people abbandoned this game just because of these issues.

The loading times take approximately up to 10% from your play time, which is absurd. Not to mention a lot of connection issues and disconnections here and there.

Upvoted.

The matchmaking is honestly the worst aspect of this game. 
I can say I have stopped playing in the past, at moments where I was originally motivate to launch another game, just because of all the matchmaking issues.

A non-exhaustive list:

- Frequent and long loading times;

- No way to avoid class conflicts --> leading to more loading;

- Joining a lobby that just finished a game --> the host leaves, more loading;

- Loading for nothing --> for some reason, you get back to your own battlebarge with no error message;

- "The game you are truying to join is already full" --> Really? More loading I guess;

- That bug where the game won't actually MM anymore, stuck on looking for players --W And if you launch the game by mistake, good luck on soloing that absolute mission, you earned it.
