I don't know what they were expecting the IS player base outnumbers the clans like 4 to 1 so building an entire event around those 2 groups fighting is going to have one side waiting for a very very long time.

And its even worse now that we have the 72 hour locking so no one can switch sides during the event to reduce the wait times.

Its just so... stupid. How could they not see what was going to happen

Nice made it up to the top...........after 18 minutes

LOBBY destroyed.....What is with that????????

This is just so fun waiting for a match.

[Moon Master]

So who is getting to play?

Is it all IS teams, and few Clams?

Or all Clams, and few IS?

It will take multiple hours to even get the chance to score a point.

The clans are literally getting 100% games with 48 disconnected mechs. Ha Ha Ha. 10/10

Is there no way to test and anticipate for problems like this beforehand ?

I know I know! I gave them the benefit of the doubt and thought they'd be smarter than rock moss, I was mistaken.

duh; pgi what QA

[Dulahan]

Exactly what I feared. Event impossible due to waits. Be lucky to get the banner!

What a shock.

What people have been saying since CW started - that defenders have a noteworthy advantage if they are even in the same league as the attackers - is again proven true.

Put up a big even with prizes, and all the hogwash about the game mode being "just fine as it is" is washed away as everyone does whatever it takes to win. Which is camping on defense.

I get a real laugh out of the QA on this one - "the lobby has been destroyed" indeed! Wonderful error message that really captures the theme of this tournament. Lol!

I especially love the "no defenders seem to be waiting though" part... queue timer at 22 mins and ticking.
