Most of these issues are convoy related. They can apply for unranked as well, but either way, we seriously need a rework in the team adventure matchmaking. I sit in a queue for 10 minutes, finally finding a match. I pick my car and ready up, then I get booted out of the match with an error message saying “not enough players to start match”. I end up in a solo game and have to wait to reconnect and send out more invites to my team.
Then there’s the issue where me and a friend join the adventure together, and we either get put on different teams or he gets in the match before I do. Happens in both unranked AND ranked.
Can we address the fact that if you’re lucky enough to find 12 people for an adventure, that it isn’t even guaranteed that those 12 people will accept the invite? This forces players to wait even longer… How about when I find a session, go to join, and it ends as soon as I get in there, forcing me to re -initiate the queue and wait AGAIN for another 10 minutes?
Lastly, searching for a match with your convoy and your convoy doesn’t make it in with you. Why? Why is team adventure broken for convoy use but it’s just fine solo?
-Yeah most of the “not enough players” message is because people queue up with their friends but one of them not getting the pop up.
-And there are many people getting kicked our of the game or having their game crash during the ranked game, in lobby or car selection screen.
-Sometimes teams are so unbalanced that one team dominate the other and that ends up with rage quits from the weak team which resulsts in a 2vs6 or 3vs6 and then the weak team ends up winning the powerful team -because less team members=more points- and the powerful team loses 90 points while they would be only gaining 20 points after winning.
Fix these issues and make the other team auto-win if the other team loses 3 of its players.
Can anyone tell me the process of playing a ranked adventure with a player from my convoy?
If I’m the leader I get the invitations and other people doesn’t. What am I missing here?
Just how it is at this point in time. The only time I’ve successfully gotten into a ranked adventure while in a convoy was with 1 other friend. Any more than that and it has never worked. Also the 1 time me and my friend got in we completed the Team Adventure and he got banned afterwards. It’s a mess.
Queue up, have it fail 8 times. Have both finally get the invite, fail at 11/12. Both of you get the next invite, 12/12, but s1 Cross country in winter, someone dashboards, and kicked back to horizon life.
Initially I loved the thought of ranked online play, however the implementation is terrible. I am in League 16 and just finished 2nd, 2nd, 3rd. All 3 races I was first on my team, then I deranked because my team lost overall. What’s the point of “ranked” if individual placement means nothing? Where’s the free for all ranked… this team ranked mode is just bad. At very least, make individual placement count for something. It’s extremely frustrating to be first on the team in every race and derank anyway, especially at League 16 which is pretty low rank to begin with…
On top of that, it’s easily 15+ minutes to even get into a race. I generally get the Lobby Found message every 3-5 minutes, however it’s often 4+ times before everyone accepts. I’ve had lobbies fail to fill to the point where I just gave up and quit playing online for the night. The whole game mode is just an exercise in frustration.
On a final note, is it really necessary to have 2/5 races be free roam rush every time? I like the race type overall, but would rather see it be a bit more randomized.
On a final, final note… there don’t seem to be many adventures. I’ve played roughly 10 times and have already seen adventure sets repeat more than once.
Asides from the fact that the multiplayer mode in this game can be quite confusing to a lot of people during early days, it’s as if there’s no clear definition of what multiplayer mode is actually in this game? There’s Horizon Life and there is the traditional online adventure mode which can be ranked or unranked, which is ok. However my gripe is that the infrastructure being used to provide the ranked online adventure service is EXTREMELY SHOCKINGLY POOR. To be quite frank T10, I have never come across such a game in my life with such unstability when it comes to playing online, in your case though I’m referring to the ranked adventure mode.
1 Game loads as normal, I go to the Team Adventure tab and select ranked adventure for racing.
2 I am then taken back to freeroam mode within Horizon Life while I wait for a match. This process can take up to 15 minutes.
3 After waiting so long it says 12/12 people have accepted OR not enough players have accepted to join and so another session has to be found. It’s this very process that can just repeat itself like this for up to 15 or even 60 minutes. Really T10? Really?
4 After waiting another 3, 15 or 60 minutes, 12 people have been found this time the game proceeds for me to pick my car for the race online adventure. I pick my car.
5 It proceeds to the loading screen to go on to the race only then to be told I have been disconnected.
6 Me along with the other members that were to proceed in the same adventure with me are then dumped back in freeroam mode. To make matters worse, me along with the rest are dumped OUT of online mode altogether INCLUDING Horizon Life. So not only we now have to find a new online adventure, we have to find a new Horizon Life session to even have a chance of getting into an online adventure. If players do managed to try and find an adventure because of so many disconnections, they are banned from playing a ranked match. I mean come on guys really? REALLY? REEEEALLY?
This has to be one of the worse games I have played in my life in terms of playing online. What is happening here? This is madness???!!! Writing this just frustrates me because I feel nothing is being done about it!
My theory is that it may take a long time to match players (based on rank) because of some kind of searching and close matching phase? It still doesn’t make sense because this is the same process used in FM7 when playing online “Leagues” mode right? If you are in Pinnacle League you will be placed into a room with other members who are also Pinnacle right? This process in FM7 never took 15 minutes to find a session just to play. It’s absolute rubbish. It’s just totally frustrating. To play online is an added premium that Xbox gamers pay for, if you have poor infrastructure for a service your trying to provide then it is just an outrage. It’s almost as if the game has been designed to prevent people from ranking up? Sometimes I would be on this game a whole hour without even playing one match simply because I can’t get into not even ONE session. When that happens I just turn the game off as at that point it turns into Trash Horizon 4 for me. It’s a disgrace. It makes some aspects of the game look so amateurish it’s unreal, it’s extremely annoying at the same time because the game itself is awesome but it seems half baked because it has too many unstabilities and issues.
Hi all not sure about others but i often work on tunes liveries fast travel to live events swap cars etc while waiting for a match (match making right now in fact and have been for 2 hours lol)
since cant do any events as such often this means not saving whatever i was doing in the mad scramble to get back to free roam to accept often not quick enough.
I think it would be great if we had more time to accept and a chime sound would be a lot less of the not enough players accepted and over all less frustration thoughts
First of all i wanna say i am not scolding the game i am just saying my opinion. When i want to play ranked i have to wait 20-25 minute cause i have T-Mobile and the dropping net connection and a lot of other thing so i have to wait . Then in the game i playing with a lot of idiot , every body is going on the wall or just hitting me ( don’t know the break ) well that’s not the worst problem. My rank is 9. so i think i am not a bad driver but when i win a game i get 60 point and i had a lot of clear racing point but when i lose because i get 2-3 idiot who is the latest and the slowest in the race ( its not a problem when somebody can’t go fast enough) and we lose okey it’s not a problem but when i lose 160 point its horrible and lose again. I think the ranked season can be bettern then this. I think every body should win in ranked like the winner team got 100 pont and the loser team got 10 and somebody want’s to climb up can do . It’s not so hard but if you lose 4 time you lose all hope looks like me because this is the thing why i wrote this post .
Will ranked ever be fixed? It takes forever to find a game and when ever you do, it just says not enough players. Its very hard to go up the ranks when you can only play 1 match a hour.
It’s not always rage quitters think some have figured out if 2 quit they still get the points for the win and make it impossible for those that stay to win made a post this morning about it.
Yes, i completly agree with this Topic!!!
It´s absultly annoying trying to get in a ranked Team Adventure and getting the message “Not enough Players…” - it´s such a waste of playing time!!!
Next Thing is, when you find a ranked Team Adventure, after is finished you are out of this Lobby again - why that???
If you Play unranked Team Adventure and the round is over you stay in the Lobby for the next round, why it´s not the same in ranked one???
[Mod Edit - Abbreviated profanity, profanity and profanity that is disguised but still alludes to the words are not permitted - D]
Also since the last update, if you miss a flag you have to drive back to this flag to get it done, why this changed, it was OK like it was before….
Missing a flag now means race is over.
If the car is getting upside down there is no way since the update to get it back on the Wheel - great, another Point where you have to wait till the race is finish -
if that happen, most People are leaving the Lobby, cause they dont wanna wait…
I don’t think anyone bothers with ranked team play to be honest. Tell me something, how many of you really like being ranked based on the drift club is last place?
I can get into non ranked team play in less than a minute most times, rarely ever has it taken more than 2 minutes.
I gave up even trying ranked after 10-15 minute or longer waits. I just don’t think people like it.
If Iget a good team I pick up 120 points, they are gone the second a wreck em up club comes in or I get stuck on the drift club team. I can beat most of the ai cars on pro skill level, gotta roll in last place in team just to keep my car on the track. Maybe they can create a training ground to complete before you can play online. Beat the AI’s on expert mode without wrecking more than one maybe. At least then more people online would know how to drive.
I have the same issue with everything that is addressed here has anyone got done doing ranked and it dont give no points im level 19 now but only cause i did ranked on racing and anything goes but everytime i do ranked it gives me 0 points and we win and it just seems like a big waste of time but i like the credits and the experience points only reason i continue to race on ranked
After all this time of trying to get a “better” rank in multiplayer I decided to voice my opinions for the short comings I see in the system here. Please comment your thoughts on how it could be improved. I find that Ranked has nothing to do with your skill at all. It is a waste of time for really competitive players because it has nothing to do with individual or even team skill. The first thing that goes wrong is I rarely ever see a match end as 6v6, Forza 4 "Ranked" - Imgur and that is the result of my last ranked match, the point system is only designed for a 6v6 and when 2 people leave it skews the odds towards the team with less people, second place goes from 500 points to 300 points while first still gets 650. And even without people leaving I am continually pushed out of checkpoints by enemies and teammates alike, 50 foot wide checkpoints cannot accommodate for 12 racers, traffic, and full collision.
To address these issues I firmly believe there should be a setting such as this: 6-8 man free for all with no collisions, and 2v2 or 3v3 with/without collisions, wider checkpoints for 6v6. I believe these modes would do wonders for end game content and competitive play. If anyone agrees that these small changes would make the game more enjoyable please comment and hopefully a dev will see it, if you think there are more ways to fix multiplayer please comment as well.
I used to play Adventures in horizon 3 for 4 hours straight. No break, no sweat. It was so fun, competitive and exhilarating. I’ve started ranked adventures in Horizon 4, I’m a very patient man, I’ve reached ranked 13 and gave up ultimately. It has been 3 weeks since I last played an adventure. Now I just open the game and do some rivals and take photos. That’s it. Not touching the ranked adventure until I get a fair system. It’s such a shame, trying to implement Fortnite methods to a racing game. I mean, how delusional are the devs to even implement such idiotic method?
I would just like for ranked online to be based on individual performance not team performance. It is ridiculous to lose points in ranked when I have performed well but my teammates have not. Also having some say in what adventure comes next would be nice, not this random stuff they throw at you. It seems like ranked play is total luck of the draw and has nothing to do with racing skill… pretty lame and disappointing.
