    It really is unfortunate that Bamco thought that neutering the queues and punishing all players was the way to go.
    I'm hoping that with season 3 they rectify these issues, but it might be too late by that point, which is a sad thought.
    Either way, great video! Really informative and well composed. Looking forward to the next one :)

    Thanks for making this. You've largely summed up my problems with the game. I could deal with the gacha, I could deal with sweatlords when I'm solo-queuing, but I can't play with my friends anymore. All my friends quit because they can't play with 'their' raider anymore - namely, me - and that was the draw of playing the game for them.
    I'm having less fun, too; not only do I have to queue several Survivor rounds just to play as a Raider once, but I also have to play sweaty and can't goof off even slightly, or I risk getting curbed. Survivor rounds can be fun, but also nervewracking; my Raider rounds used to be good for unwinding after the stress of being Survivor so many times in a row, but not anymore.
    It's gotten worse and worse as this game's community gets more and more top-heavy, causing newbies to bounce off because they get matched with people in the 100s of levels who just shred them without pause, and the escalating power creep arms race between Raider and Survivor also punishes newbies, as they haven't had the time or resources to get meta skills and transpheres from the gacha yet, and are thus underpowered and vulnerable even if they've got the personal gameplay skills to survive.
    I want to like Breakers, I really do, but the mismanagement Bamco demonstrates in running it is galling and saddening to me.

    Player pop is a huge issue. I actually love season 3 changes and think every balance change has been really healthy and good. The new raider ginyus and test server were great and been balanced well IMO getting a nerf from the test server. I hope the next thing they focus on is crossplay, raider queue or even reverting the old system so we could queue to fight our friends again.

      ⁠@@JP2427e knockback meter was very much needed, before it was added, it was stupid easy to stall by infinitely stunning the raider (and it still is very easy to stall and abuse stuns against the raider). And while yes, the ginyu force is stupidly op, I believe its nothing compared to how braindead survivors are. Key rushing instantly kills a game, makes it impossible for a raider to win, it is also fairly easy to dogpile a raider, which has been a thing since open beta. The game is in a state in which winning as a raider is unnecessarily hard and winning as a survivor feels indescribably unrewarding

If you find some friends who you can work with the game becomes pretty easy though I also feel you on public match making being random if you get good or bad teams.

    I just bought this game a few days ago, while I am having fun, the matchmaking is insane. There will be games when I am the survivor and half of the people are under level 30 against an experienced Raider. There are also matchups when I as an under level 5 Raider are matched with at least level 100 survivors who are probably in a discord call together. They should add an in game chat so that even strangers can communicate.

    Some major issues that you didn’t mention is the fact that many raider players now simply abuse the game to get a cheap win over survivors. There’s nothing stopping raiders from body camping after downing a survivor which essentially forces players to either get killed helping each other or abandon the teamwork aspect.

    Forget the flex queue not allowing you to play with friends, the region and console lock doesn't allow me to play the game at all. I'm on xbox and live in Australia, and since my only pool for other players is that specific nieche, it is near impossible to find other players, during the early days of season 2, I was only ever able to play from about 4PM - 8PM, and as soon as one person wanted to get off, no one could play anymore as we'd just be stuck on 7/8 for around half an hour before everyone decided it wasn't worth it. Nowadays I straight up can't find any games anymore, which is awful because I really love this game and have a good 250 hours invested in it, but now having a game I purchased that I can't even play is beyond aggravating, and I don't think I'll even touch season 3 unless they disable the region lock and/or add crossplay, a little lag is not worth having smaller countries straight up unable to play the game, plus I cant even imagine what its like for switch/PC players in these countries too.

      Xbox is the least popular platform for Breakers, plus the fact you’re in a region where Breakers is not popular either. You’d be lucky to have 40+ people playing at once. PC and Switch are the most popular platforms for Breakers and Japan and North America are the most popular regions. This is where cross play and cross region play should be implemented. It’s absolutely unfair for Xbox and non-North American and Japanese players.

    As someone that bought the game on launch and LITERALLY put 200 hours into it that first season while platinuming the game, I've never touched it more than twice since Season 2 because I can no longer play with my friend in anything other than survivor queue, the majority of the fun for us was eventually being raider and demolishing the other, but I guess we're not the target audience for this game anymore....you know people that wanna have fun...that's not even to mention how badly they nerfed EVERYTHING the survivor's had at their disposal regarding movement to make things competitive while putting out a ridiculously OP raider to fight against in Vegeta.
    Genuinely was a game I could see myself playing until it shut down....at least that's what I thought after season 1 before seeing how badly they shot themselves in the foot. Probably never touching it again because of the fact me and my buddy can't play together and kill each other as raider without convincing 6 other friends to purchase the game too, and that's just never happening unless this shit becomes FTP down the line, I'd stay optimistic about them changing the queue system but given how many complained initially and their resistance to make any chances that'll unfortunately never happen, ergo I'll never support the game again.
    It's truly a damn shame such a great game was ruined so fucking quickly after an initially amazing launch.

    I really think Breakers is a good game if you take off the Dragon Ball lenses off, but the decisions they make really scream “easy way out” with the devs
    The devs have proved that if they want something done, they can do it and very well. The issue is that they always seem to choose the cheapest choice for most decisions and it drives me insane.

Like imagine you try killing him at level 4 without killing him at the earlier stages, it’s like impossible to do so. So I try to kill the previous stages, and the thing is, ginyu is still broken! After you defeated level 3 of ginyu, your team most likely have depleted most of their dragon changes, unable to fight back against ginyu. And since ginyu is a level 4, no survivor can melee him without getting hit except for the level 4 survivor (which can only appear once per match) and same thing applies for previous stages too, imagine if your team decides to jump guldo, good now he’s dead, but you lost all your dragon changes which make you easier to die since you have less health to sponge, which in turn gives the Raider more energy because he killed you.

    Personally that flex queue crap needs to go, they really should have it setup as survivor or killer man. You have to wait like 5 to 7 matches just to get raider again. Plus it sucks that they axed the old matchmaking too were you can be raider with your survivor friends. That made it wayyyy more fun to me.

    Me and my friend use to play this game so much when it came out that we had to set a schedule for us to limit how much time we spent playing. We never really ran into teamers and if they would have had a real report system. They could have kept the season 1 style of playing with friends. Since the change they made, we never played the game ever again. It’s really sad but it’s more of a statement for us. If they revert the change, you best believe we would all queue up again.

  • @ImperialPatches

    I've been talking to my friend that I played this with for the first two seasons before I dropped out and I've stated before that this largely feels like a game that not only needs a crossplay feature and god the new matchmaking system is god awful, but given that it's a niche game that's a spin off of a niche game it feels like this game needs to provide a better custom lobby experience as well so the community can organize more casual games and help new or just more play for fun type players instead of everyone going into the sweat city that is normal matchmaking.
    I would love to see this game have the lobby system that not only give actual rewards, albeit really toned down ones and with heavy restrictions based on like round times or things done if they're concerned about exploiting, but also allowed for custom rule sets. Something similar to mutations in L4D2 or custom games in Halo where settings and modes can be tweaked to create fun more casual experiences like a mode where everyone can't dragon change and cell is locked into larva stage or a mode where everyone, even the raider starts with maxed out radars, or even just the ability to adjust certain stats for personal balancing like make certain cooldowns shorter or longer, extend health bars or increase barrier break i-frames, reset or force levels for skills for both raider, and survivors etc.

  • @GNome744
    @GNome744 Рік тому +1

    The fact is, they cant do a raider specific queue because nobody in there right mind is wanting to play survivor over raider. Db Breakers is a game where you slog through 5-6 matches as survivor just to have fun again with raider. Oh but don't think it's always fun. Sometimes you will go against a team who are actually sweating their balls off in discord and jump you in your second phase. There's matches where people don't load in or just give up. Matches where you are just waiting or feel there's nothing you can do because every character has barrier instant transmission. This wouldn't be that bad if you could play Raider all you wanted but you can't because even bandai knows survivors trash. That's why they hide their most bull skills in the gacha system to try and dangle a carrot to players. This game is dying because of greed and the fact they haven't even touched the main issues this game even has. I was hoping theyd do SOMETHING about players just doing barrier and instant transmission at level 3 to give you literally nothing for your work but nope! Literally nothing about this issue that is more prevalent than you'd think since I still play with the same people every match since there aren't enough players giving enough variety to the skill use.

    Season 1 we’re the best days. You couldn’t just do energy field and instant transmission so raiders had a chance. Spopovich wasn’t absolute garbage (at least early-mid season 1) and survivors had a lot less of a chance winning by simply summoning shenron. Summoning shenron would just mean it’s easier to distract a level 4 Raider. Main way to win was stm and as raider it was easily able to make sure you can’t escape by etm

    The worst aspects of this game are definitely the matchmaking and progress.
    Since there are very few players, you'll get matched with noobs while you're high level and vice versa, meaning that raiders will feed on unexperienced players first and only then fight those who know how to play. Unexperienced raiders however, will just get stomped in around two minutes if the lobby is even just half competent.
    The progress is just fucked up on so many levels though. You play matches to get zennis to roll a gacha and HOPE thar you get what you want. While there are many viable skills, you'll feel the difference between a whale/lucky player and an unlucky fellow when you play raider. Facing people with base kits is infinitely easier then facing players with up to powercreep skills, it's not even close.
    I didn't think something so basic could be messed up this badly but oh boy, when I, as a level 94 Cell, got matched against a full lobby of level

    While it probably sucks that the game is suffering for people abusing the queue system, if whole groups go in with every slot filled by friends or dummy accounts, who's going to report them? For the normal game, this was probably a required change, and letting you still play this way in custom games seems fine to me. I wouldn't want this to be a feature of the main queue at all, it's just asking for abuse and community division.
    I think the issues with the dwindling player base comes from a very flip-flopped balance system and scummy strategies like body camping, plus just the fact that an asymm DB game is more of a novelty than anything with real staying power. It's also on the old Xenoverse engine, which has gotten to be an eyesore to look at. Plus DBD, while having it's own issues, is hoarding a large market on this genre and even they're due to get a huge drop once the Texas Chainsaw Massacre game releases.

I hope it gets fixed i got back into this game with the start of season 3 and i was wondering what happened with the queue and why it was so different. Hope they fix it and realize like you said that it was a minority of people doing that teaming thing and the report button should be more than enough to combat that! Great video!
