suggestion - auto matchmaker
I think an automatic random matchmaker system for starting a game would be a great feature. I'd like to see options to join a random 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, etc battle. Also an option for a regulated naked battle. Emphasis would be put on making matches as even as possible. And possibly don't allow deserters to use this feature or only team deserters with other deserters because no one wants to be stuck with them.
Mainly I think this would be a good feature because it would cut down on the feeling that you're playing against sharks who secretly work together while I'm stuck with a dead-weight teammate who is clueless with their beginner pistols.
What do you guys think?

I think that it just must be done. It takes too long to "compile" new game.
Sometimes it takes even longer than the game itself...
OK, and I again with the same text: Enkord, the more games = the more cash. Look how much you waste because of players trying to complete team to new game.
This function does not have to be complicated - you choose few options (e.g. max and min. level of opponents, max number, ev. location, end system does its job - creates balanced teams and starts new game.
It is really worth of trying to add such function !

There have been requests for this and from what I recall... that's on our to-do list. It's just not very high on the priority list at the moment last thing I knew.

Auto matchmaker is an extremely efficient and effective method for many other games.
If you implement this, you will have to remove the "first minute abort" option obviously.
Also, this WILL promote players to go through MANY more games and many of the cashers will lose more often thus having to pay for weapons more often (many cashers simply wait to play the non-cashers). I think you will see an increase in revenue if and when this gets implemented.

Hmm , this would probably take a long time to programm , thus making it not high-priority atm.
But it would sure be a good system 😁

I don't think this will too exciting feature as noone will use it. Noone will have desire to risk with their hard-earned equipment to play against completely unknown opponent, or even worse - with completely random teammate. People will play once, loose all of their gear and skip on that feature entirely.

hmm some people perhaps - i wouldnt do that for 2x2 - i would rather add a "join as group" feature so people can pick their own teammates...

If this will be implemented I'm thinking the best use of this would be to find 1v1 games of low to mid level and the good part of matchmaker would be that it'd give you an opponent close-ish to your level and or skill.

In my opinion players ask for this function because they don't want to waste HOURS to start a single game. This is not acceptable - for players and for Enkord too. Of course - this function is to be well prepared, as any other functions in game. It does not have to be complicated - few simple questions, and logic to compile balanced games. I think that balance is the key. Balance + assurance of non-faked games + short time to start game would make this function very popular.
About loosing gear - it happens anyway, and fighting with weak opponents - is this really fun? I don't find any satisfaction in killing almost unarmed players. I am looking for challange, and exp. points, ranks and so - this is nice addition, nothing more (ok, you need exp. for next level > better arms, items and so). But challange does not mean, that you want to fight with opponent with much higher level or have as teammate player with 90% loosed games and 50% of quits...
About ranks - I would be grateful to add some special signs - ribbons or medals - for winning tournaments. It would be nice addition to Gunrox.

We will introduce them eventually. Some day when tournaments will be more organized and automated.

I would definetly use this option as i have waited 2hrs😡 sometimes trying to get a game with someone who isn`t 5 levs above me and end up playing naked or ammo only battles with friends who i can trust. I`d rather risk my hard earned equipment in a match i know is random and i have as much chance as the other guy of having the advantage. I would rather play than hoard my stuff and hope for game in the next hr or 2. plus mega battles often take 30mins to debate whos on whos side then someone drops out and the game collapses and we have 2 start over.
This game is about fun not whos got the best equipment .

Still we will need way more higher online player count in order for this thing to start working. (Probably around 1000+ online players).

Unfortunatelly bers. is right. w/o adequate number of players auto would not work (especially if there were many options to express requirements regarding new fight - it would be almost unpossible to meet those requirements).
I don't want to put in Enkord business, but I think that you don't want to have too much players right now - no advetisement, don't see any results of your marketing work. Maybe you are still not prepared for bigger number of users or you want to have Gunrox be better product before it will hit the market. And we all are something like beta-testers :-)
Or maybe it is better to grow slowly but secure.

Yes, we are not rushing to promote this game heavily, we want to try some alternative guerilla methods.
