Question for the Devs: Party System After Title Update

The Title Update mentions it will be reworking parties to avoid splitting them up.

Could you tell me if the party will be split up in the following situation:

-Empty Game
-Party of 3 Joins, one of whom pulls host
-Party of 5 Joins,
-Team match up is 5 v 3 with no other players when game begins.

Will this result in the team of 5 being split into a 4v4 match, or will it launch/hold on a 5 v 3 situation?


Furthermore:

Are there any circumstances (of which you are aware) which will cause split parties after the title update?

I absolutely love this game, but cannot consistently run parties larger than 3 without anyone getting shafted at the moment. Thank you for attempting to fix this (hopefully VERY successfully!) in the upcoming patch.

Bump

secrets.

If a party of x join a game, the game will wait for at least that many players on the opposite team before starting. When the minimum number of players to start is met (currently at 6), the game will start.

In your example of team of 5 vs team of 3, the game will start as is because the minimum number to start is met without splitting up the teams. Other players will join in progress or will join in before the countdown reaches zero. If this becomes problematic we can always adjust the minimum to start at any time.

After the Title Update, there isn't anything that will cause split parties unless the members of the parties leave.

Will we have more options for private matches?

I know the forum folk asked for that "feature" but I think it caused more problems in the end. Wish it was still a minimum of 8 to start.

It's not in the coming title update but I know they have some plans on private matches. We all know how broken private matches are...or should I say the lobby/settings are.

All I needed to hear <3

So would it still start 6 vs 0?

lol, i guess it would.
Sucks pretty hard to be dropped in the middle of that game on the opposite side.

Thank you for the info. <3 MNC devs.

So after the update....

a team of 6 are in a lobby and one guy joins.

The game starts with 1 guy fighting 6?

or the game wont start until 6 more people have entered the game?

A party of 6 in the lobby will wait for another six players before starting. Minimum to start the game without parties is 3 on each team. You won't have a situation where it's six on 0.

You guys are awesome for your communication.
