Sorry to make another thread about this, but the search function was useless. I remember a dev replying to an older thread a year ago about addressing the problem, but it was never resolved.
I did not play ranked for a while due to this bug. But as long as there is no statment from a Dev or in the patchnotes i assume the problem is still not fixed. If you can’t fix it, go back to the old ranked quick search.
Another important Thread:
These things would bring the fun back to Aoe3 Treaty, but never gotten a statement from a dev.
They let ranked treaty die in the first few months of DE release. In the first two months, it was very easy to get a match, but the devs somehow thought using Standard Maps for ranked treaty instead of the already existing Treaty Maps pool was a good idea. People started quitting when they got a map that just doesn’t work for treaty. Within months, people stopped queueing for ranked treaty. A lot of treaty players started playing treaty through the lobby. Treaty died. I reported the problem of the maps and they eventually fixed it, but half a year had already passed since the release and ranked treaty was thoroughly dead.
Ranked Treaty queue was active in the first few weeks of DE, but half of the matches ended in players quitting at the start because of stupid maps used in the queue. Eventually people stopped queuing. All games with some kind of competitive/ranked mode use matchmaker (and therefore queue) for those modes. Treaty should have it, but the devs squandered it at launch.
