With the latest update the belt range search got removed. Nothing changed for me there. I never did same rank anyway. And I love teaching beginners. And as long the ranking system wont change, the old rank range search system didn't make much sense to me anyway. To me the old matchmaking belt range seemed kind of useless, as a 156 BP Black belt player is still a beginner anyway. In it's previous form the most common result was lots of new players leaving the game because they never found anyone on same rank and quitting the game thinking no one was playing. I hope we can get a system with 4 options: Friends only, also searches for friends that are in non friends matchmaking. Direct invite to a friend, like the park invite from the friend list board. https://rumble.canny.io/suggestions/p/invite-a-friend-directly-to-a-match Quick match, current all players search. Slower but weighted matchmaking, I don't know a good name for it though... With weighted matchmaking it will first look for similar players, but over time expands to include all players. The times themselves are just a suggestion. It starts at 3/4th up to 1.33x your BP 10s - 2/4th - 2x BP 20s - 1/4th - 4x BP 30s - 1/8th - 8x BP 40s - 1/16th - 16x BP 50s - 1/32th - 32x BP 60s - Everyone 120s - Then if you wait for longer than 120 seconds you start to gain priority. It doesn't matter if you are in your opponents search range or not (except friends only). You will instantly match with the next person entering matchmaking. As there are clearly not enough people online and no one should have to wait endlessly. Those that used quick and weighted matchmaking can be matched up together. And those that choose quick also have this 120s priority system. The matchmaking machine screen should announce the BP ranges it is currently looking for. If it found a priority match it should say so. For those still at less than 12 BP (white belt) are to be considered at 11 BP for this system. Because otherwise it doesn't work for someone at 0BP.

at the end of game next to (or pherhaps below) the replay button there should be a replay but with different map button, so you won't have to requeue 18 times to get the right map

Add a campfire in the park so we can all sit around it and tell stories! That might be pretty cool :)

Send a direct match invite, just like park invites, that will give a notification we can accept. With a big friend list you will sometimes match with the wrong person in friends matchmaking. And it's unclear when the friend you made plans with is actually ready so you can wait a long time in friend matchmaking resulting in multiple missmatches. This can be prevented with a direct invite. Would be nice if that worked cross region and automatically puts you in their region. You can accept the invite from the park friends board. And to prevent people stalking you, it only work for those who accepted your friend request.

Please add to the friend list if someone from you friends is online, offline and searching for a friend only match

I think a gamemode with more players could be fun.

integrate ulvaks auto rematch mod, by having a little turn knob on the matchmaking machine which is seconds before automatically rematching, and then a toggle for rematch on friends only, or rematch on all https://thunderstore.io/c/rumble/p/UlvakSkillz/AutomaticRematch/

Private matches with name/password support. This way tournaments could be hosted through start.gg easily.

Upon reaching a high enough BP, experienced players could get a customizable "boss" arena that other players could fight them in (and possibly earn something for successfully winning against them, if there's a way to feasibly make that work?) Customizations for this arena could cost gear coins.

A button to confirm a kick from park. I accidentally kicked my friend that I met in the park :(
