I went from 3* to 5* and my partner (3*) and I have a 3 1/2* match mmr. We are put into 5 1/2* match mmr lobbies now. 5* and 6* players only. We‘ve only had a terrible experience since the change. I‘m definitely not a 5* and I have no idea why that happened to me.
I wish they would revert that.

First of all, holy shit congratulations my dude you deserve that partnership 100%! And second, thank you for making this clear, i went to check out my twitch rewards to realise that i was now a 6 stars. I was heavily confused.

LMFAO the B-shot footage at 2:00, trying to get cool panning footage of the compound, falling off the walkway, and ultimately having to run for your life from the Meathead. lmao

[slomnim]

You called it with the suggestion of making necro a burn trait!

[liljashy]

Thank you. I was so confused why I became 6 star overnight
I definitely don't feel like I deserve it. Lol

Congrats for becoming partner, you deserved it :)

So far this change has made a significant positive impact for me as 90% solo. My star rating isn’t going up and down all the time and I’m now reliably in games with other experienced players which is amazing.

[ManNether]

I've gone from 3 to 5 stars 💀💀 i have 50 hours played...

Now that you're partnered I just want to take this moment to say that I called it back when you first started that you were going to take Home Reel's spot when he left the scene (to work with Crytek which is awesome for him!) and I am very close to being correct. I should have bet money on it!

Ive been learning mouse and keyboard with this game for 6 months. I’ve been from 3-5 stars up and down…Since the update I’ve had more competent random teammates and have ranked up consistently getting matched with three-star to four-star now five star players. I’m loving the update every game has been exciting but I’m also new to the game compared to others. But it’s nice seeing higher ranked teammates the better I do. At least that’s my experience.

Congrats on partner! May that open more doors for you in the Crytek cinematic universe! Thanks for the MMR cover as well, I've been trying to explain this to a friend, this vid is perf!!

To be honest feels so weird to me i Swinged back and forth from 5* to 6* and now i'm "stuck" at high 5* with the MMR change i'm still placed at 5 wich is fine but i tried to go solo and all i find are 6* sweatlords Spitzer/Dolch not much a solo Crossbow can do.

[robhickman]

Damn dude you are so professional! I can see why they partnered with you!

[JeffStylez]

Congrats on becoming a partner! You and your dedication towards research in this game were more than deserving!

[cloggedpizza]

Congrats on your partnership. I just got back from 74 days at sea and hunt has changed in some very interesting ways.

I have had so much less fun since coming back to the game. Honestly it doesn't feel more fair right now, I just get instant headshot by enemies now, or completely wipe the other team without even getting shot once. There is no in between. It's actually so much less fun right now. I've given it a month, and I just hate it.

[IShallCallHimTaders]

Ive dipped into 5 a few times, but i usually hang in 4. Woke up still in 4 stars

[Grimm_Holt]

Wow that is amazing, congratulations! You deserve it for all your hard work.

I'm not going to lie, this makes me really nervous. I've had 5 games that I absolutely loved playing get completely ruined by aggressive "skill based matchmaking" systems. I'm a player that enjoys both casual/social gaming and competitive "getting better is fun" gaming. I've seen systems like this ruin both kinds of experience, and I've watched these systems creep into more and more games over the last 5 years.

At first I thought they'd be a good thing, a fair thing... but hundreds of hours of experience over multiple titles has proven to me that it's the worst trend to infect gaming since micro-transactions. What could be more counter to the spirit of playing a game than rigging matches? There's no guarantee Crytek will use OpenSkill to do this, but I've seen it happen too many times to not be worried.

Congrats on the partnership mate! Well deserved 🎉🎉🎉
