Excuse me? I'm sorry but i've read through the replies on here after a tough shift and the only one i've been properly riled by is yours. I'm more than capable of reading thank you very much. Maybe if you did a little more than skim read my post you'd see exactly where my issue lies. In fact, let me make it a little clearer for you seen as bite sized chunks seem to be your thing.
Cozmo stated there have been no changes other than those mentioned in January, correct?
Those changes were to be rolled out across all playlists at later dates, correct?
So why, then, when rolling these new matchmaking settings out in February and March, do we see quotes such as
Effective Immediately: New Matchmaking settings are live in Control. We've taken additional steps to increase the emphasis on connection quality.
UPDATE (02/18/2016): Matchmaking tuning has been revised
If you’ve played Control or Iron Banner in the past week or so, you’ve sampled the newest search criteria.
The newest settings are more aggressive about keeping latency low than we’ve ever had in Destiny
Please tell me again how my point is invalid? They announced changes in January. They experimented with playlists for two months before eventually deciding on the settings they liked. During this period, not only were the original January adjustments made, but further adjustments were made as and when they felt they needed to. The changes outlined in January therefore were not their end game for matchmaking and the settings were further tweaked as we got into March.
Now, if Cozmo had said "we haven't changed any matchmaking settings since we settled on our algorithms in March when changes were rolled out across all playlists" then fine, i'd accept what he said. The place they ended up in in March was, however, not the place they thought they'd be when they announced they were making changes.
If you can't see where i'm coming from then i'm sorry, that's not my problem but yours. If you honestly think they decided on one "matchmaking setting" in January and then flipped a switch on playlists at a later date.. I give up.
