Is the Rated Solo Shuffle intended to be cross-faction in DF? I can’t seem to find any information about that.
It would make sense, since 2s/3s/RBG are cross-faction as well, and queue times would be significantly lower.
Unrated solo would stay faction locked I guess, as it is today.
I asked this already and I couldnt find any official information about this, however ppl said they are working on fixing this and its supposed to be cross faction in df.
Indeed, the only information I’ve found so far were a few replies on the forum by players, they said that it’s supposed to be cross-faction as you mentioned (it doesn’t work yet afaik), but I don’t know where did they get it from. I’m unable to post on the beta forums so I can’t ask directly.
The reason I’m interested, because I’m planning to play both factions with friends, and faction locking would have a serious impact on alliance side queue times.
Blizzard doesn’t answer questions on the beta forum, they only use it to collect feedback, announce stuff, and there’s also a “known issue causing crashes” thread which I guess is its own little category.
There’s a lot of questions asked by players on the beta forum, but Blizzard isn’t engaged in discussions. It’s just a one-way street with them using it solely for feedback.
I got beta access a few months ago, but this lack of engagement by Blizzard is really disheartening.
“Holinka said in an interview a while back its intended to be cross faction, and i can confirm its “working” on the Beta, although with many bugs that will certainly be fixed, such as nameplates not appearing on teammates of the opposite faction :D”
