One thing's for sure, 63 concurrent matches are not enough,
since there are currently 63 concurrent matches going on with ~15 attacker queues and ~60 defenders in line waiting!

Heh.

201 x 12.

To be frank, I don't believe you.

FYI I had a 33 minute wait for a match early today.

uhhh....you need to consider getting bumped to the back of the que again....maybe you mean you are in a 12-man? The success of game doesn't depend on full groups...it rises and falls on the solo player. Being forced to group is not every1's cup of tea. Don't care if you agree with it or not...PGI still must include the Lone Wolf or kiss some of it's profit goodbye.

Realistically the event for an IS solo'er is nigh near impossible. I do hope PGI gleaned some good data from this. My unit is switching to Clan in a few hours when our contract is up. We didn't want to, but we have to....

Mostly solo, just got bumped from 4th in queue to 59.

Still going to get in after less than a half hour unless it happens again.

Was that wait time typical?

Eh, I rarely set foot in CW. Don't care for it, to be honest. My experience with groups is a) they are very good and are universally raging ********, or are not very good and are universally raging ********.

I'm pug queue for life, I guess.

Weren't you just telling me how long range was so favored in CW matches?

Just because I don't like it doesn't mean I was wrong about it? Does "I don't enjoy it" equate to "I've never seen it" somehow?

Your zing missed a bit. Try again? This time with feeling if you would.

[edit] You must have missed the part where I don't much like groups because... That might indicate to the more than casual reader that I have played and given up.

Don't play much any more <> don't have a clue.

As solo player without a unit I think this is terrible.

Maybe if I had a unit and 12 guys to drop with it wouldn't be such a snore fest

this may be true, but PGI was pretty straight up that CW isn't really meant for soloage. I mean you can do it, but it's not the point.. so you can't really fault them on that except for maybe the fact that there's no way for the solo man to get the points for the prizizes. That said... there's a LFG queue which might help you out

Been LFG for a while I got one and it was 4 guys against 11 (CI) guys
Then it was 5 vs another full group.

I earned the banner I think I'm done for this event...

Took 8 games to earn 5 points

[Lily from animove]

but but, haters gonna have to hate.

[Frosted]

Got 11 point so far for 9 hours of playing. These queue really allow me to catch up with the house cleaning and my work outs since I can't go too fat away.

[STEF_]

I don't know why there are ppl talking about long waiting time.
All insta-drop no stop, here.

what would make this an even better success is if each faction had posted a general TS that players could go to in order to join existing 12 mans. Kurita has one.. but to get into a drop players need to own a viable drop deck.. which means no lrms, no trials.. and at least 1 viable light (spider, raven, firestarter)

That is a bit draconian! LOL ....and a Panther is very viable! .

[Mavairo]

Waiting at 18 minutes now and counting.
Have been kicked to the back of the que 4 times now.

Still no match. This is horrible.

They have it listed as a known issue, now.

Just got disconnected 5 times in a row after I FINALLY got in a match.

[Ted Wayz]

No, it is not a success to have people wait in excess of 20 minutes for a match.

Now if PGI had the ability to have 2 stars versus 3 lances then the imbalance would not matter as much and more players would be playing than sitting in queue.

[Mavairo]

PGI should have allowed ghost drops for those of us stuck in the ques.

Zones full or not. They should have made more zones.

They also should have used their brains with this last patch.

Seeing as how I'm stuck running the repair tool AGAIN.

Well I got 5 points in my 5 matches - even in the one where enemy camped on one of our 3 spawn points with their mechs being more protected by terrain than ours coming from other spawns.

As a bonus I've managed to watch 2 episodes of anime while waiting in pug attacker que

Because you're a clannerscum.
IS has huge queuetimes, clannerscum does not. That's why PGI offered contract switching.

Since when can you group with other factions for CW?

Since always a CW pug is a CW pug, the only rules is that you have to stick to all IS or all clan. If Marik is dead hop on FRR, or Kurita, or Davion and get going.

.....you have seriously NEVER seen mixed faction pug drops?
