perfect match system fails with game times

>Calling a feature you havent even experienced fail

There may be a good amount of mis-matching due to timezones but perhaps some good will come out of it. Lets see how it plays out first...

im not calling the entire system fail. just pointing 1 thing out that is a bit fail

like everything else on the U.S. servers it will be based around the American time zones it rlly shouldn't be that much of a surprise.b:chuckle

PWI might want to rethink that "Under 18" option.



I mean...

You know I'm so gonna roll a barb, pwr lvl him up to get the new form and go by South Park name, Se#ual Harassment Panda. b:chuckle

im not sure if anyone else tought about the time zones when ppl select their gaming times. due to different timezones ppl their times are ay different. ie when its 8 pm at my gf in CA it is 5 am for me in NL so if she would select her time evening and me morning the system would alrdy say we wont match on that while we do. they should put a tekst at it that ppl should base it on the server time. im sure alot of ppl will be matched wrong otherwise.

I would guess the times mean server time. So if for example its midnight server time, its your 9 am in NL. Which means youd put the evening or morning, and if theyre in USA or whatever, they put the morning too if theyre actually on during that. See my point right there? Just point out the server times, not your own times.

Most things, if not all, are based on the server time so I immediately knew it but I think a lot of people won't think about that and will just use their one timezone to judge. If they use the system, that is.

I agree with those who are against the "find a lover" option in this matching system. A lot of inmature ppl, ( and i am not refering to kids mainly ), will use this option for the heck of having their own fun at the cost of perturbing others who are really interested in the game itself.

PWI must also realize that a vast portion of the gaming community is married in rl, therefore, this option will generate uncomfortabily and why not say it!, severe missunderstandings.

The point here is that the gaming community of this game, isn't prepared yet for this feauture and, if you don't belive on this, just look at the wc chatting everyday and you will have an idea of the mentality os some gamers.

At least add country filters.

Maybe timezones. Or continents.

PWI can't give us new instances..o no..but they can make this a freaken dating site..wth..PWI way to make this game a joke.

Pretty sure I've seen dudes show up (dude characters that is) on my Barb's find a lover list which I checked out for gits and shiggles - as did probably every other person on the server for some brief period of time.. So we have the game offering *** romance as a feature now it seems. Even if I'm mistaken on that -- well we all know that about half the female toons are played by males, myself included on most of my alts. So.. tell me again what the whole "dating" aspect of this feature is? I think someone has a ***** eye for the straight guy.. or maybe a straight eye for the ***** guy... Maybe it is meant just to help you find a toon to marry in game? Maybe barbs are ***.. who knows.??

Hell its still a video game. In honesty though I don't think many people will use the find a lover option in order to find a lover. There just isn't the level of personalization you would find on a dating site. Multiple choice click boxes listing things that, honestly, everyone does to some extent or another.. Oh well.

I've already had a PM from the match system though. Not sure what category it was for though, since I still have them all highlighted. if anything, it put me in contact with a potential new friend at a much faster rate than anyone decided to pm me in game about PQ 3 after reading my posts in QC about it.
