Day 2 of Fury of the Wardog and I still can't find any games. I've been searching for a game on mission 3 for over an hour and haven't found a single game. I paid $40 for the Xbox founders pack and through Mercurysteams fault I couldn't play Alien Myth for a week because they dropped the ball. Now I can't even play the second installment of the campaign because THERE'S NOBODY PLAYING.
So just to recap, Eternal Soldier update added more things to free players, including purchasing characters, unlocking cards and weapons, and even the possibility to play missions (I'm assuming with an absurd amount of credits). Wow, free players are getting a lot added! They can pretty much enjoy the full capabilities of the game, almost as much as those who paid for it! Wait, actually more. The people who did support MercurySteam by buying campaigns or the founder pack, have less matchmaking opportunities that free players do. I'm trying to play Wardogs Fury on the SECOND day it's out, where you're most likely to find other players for the same campaign, and I've searched for HOURS for a match. I had better luck yesterday with a still cringy 15 minute wait, but at least I found a match. I don't see players being able to matchmake through campaign as time goes on, and I'm almost at wits end to demand a refund because I can't play this game. Solo is a petty joke, and the business model compromises the game for those that paid for the game because YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FIND A GAME. It's a beautiful and fun game when you do play, but I'll adamantly pass if I have to wait an hour to find a single lobby for a brand new campaign.
UPDATE: Finally gave in and played WF Mission 3 solo and this game is vapid and ultimately unenjoyable in solo. If there were bots to help you it might be slightly fun but that's besides the fact. Unless you know 3 people that also paid $40 to not play a game, good luck in matchmaking friends.
