Hello everyone. Welcome to 2026. This week, I returned home from being on vacation for the holidays to resume my playthrough of the Mass Effect trilogy, starting my replay of ME3.

Doing full renegade Shepherd, the dreams about the child become very funny; why would Full Renegade shepherd care. Anyway, hope everyone has had a good start to their year

The exact algorithm they use is not public, but the general consensus is that: don't shoot anyone (even in retaliation) and don't loot raider corpses (even if you didn't kill them) and you will get placed into friendly lobbies within 10-20 rounds. If you do either of things, you get placed back into aggressive lobbies for at least a few rounds.

For people wanting to go pve from pvp, it seems really simple to just do a bunch of matches using the game's generous free loadout system, and take a few deaths until whatever flag or value they use sends you to friendly lobbies.

Overall, seems like it works really well for placing people in exactly the types of matches they want to be in, without locking people in. Both pvp-ers and pve-ers seem happy with it, which is rare lol.
