Dear fellow PC players, get your dupas out of TT and into Taco Bandits! I tried to get games on NA East, NA West, and even Europe but no luck even early Friday evening which is peak time normally for MP games. Just to check I tried the regular portal for TT matches, and sure enough, instant pop into a full game.
It's not dead on PC but it looks like it if you try any mode other than TT. I really want to play this game mode too. I love Taco Bandits in GW1 and this new one looks a lot like Two Fort from TF2 (I watched the dev stream with Zero and friends). It's very disappointing to have a mode that looks great and I only ever found one other person in the portal so it wouldn't start!
Edit: If it uses level based matchmaking, that would also explain my issue. I understand why you'd want to use it but it's frustrating to not be able to play. Make it permanent and add bots to it so at least we can play the mode!
@Iron_Guard8its a "skill-based" matchmaking. Its easy to find hackers this way, 2 in 30 minutes. Also the reason no one plays it and for myself I cant change to another server the pings are so bad, game becomes unplayable.
I'm playing PS4, two account, both max ranks, West Coast server, can't find any players over the weekend:
1. Totally empty.
2. One or two then they bail out.
3. I start with 3-4, then bail out after 1 min, then I just stay play split screen for whole round for 7 minutes straight, 12 tacos back and forward, and still no body joining??
My prediction why this is not popular as we expect:
1. The map is too small.
2. Become repetitious.
3. Too little reward (coins, rainbow star).
4. No teamwork, no focus point like Gnome bomb, it's chaotic/random.
5. no thriller/intense moment, no back and forth like Gnome Bomb, once you pass half of map, you can't stop it anymore.
