This makes no sense. I persoanlly was finding games in 5-10 seconds. What is the problem? Here is my guess, people pub farmed to heavily that theyre stats are so far out of whack that under the formula, the mm says does not compute and pairs them with no one. Well I say, they deserve it, and I say, **** them.

Is it possible that the overwhiming QQ of the forums actually caused PGI to make a chage, immediately????

Ppl have been pointing out eh very clear abises of the system for months. Months! And they respond at the pace of a continent drifting, but as soon as they get mass QQ from the golds, its a insta change, saying **** you to every other player, who has been the brunt of this abuse for-ever?!?

Are you mother ******* kidding me!?!

Our data shows that the lone wolf queue times are still too long so we are rolling back to the previous match making system while we analyze the data and debug why lone wolf queue times are too long.

We have to starve out the current matches so you'll likely notice that games are even harder to find for the next 15 minutes while the system cycles but should then be back to the same times as before this patch.

Sorry for the inconvenience and we hope to have the ELO match maker back to you as soon as we can address the lone wolf queue times.



With that aside, I would like to encourage everyone to either post something constructive that will further the conversation is a positive manner... somehow...

.. or choose not to, and post in a different conversation that is less hostile. This thread is being Jettisoned, as it's not only derogatory toward the Developers and the Users, but also a conspiracy theory between the Devs and the Founders... not suitable for General Discussion.

Note how you said "personally". I'm going to guess that you are not the entire playerbase.

Because many, many, people were spending an hour or more and only getting 'Unable to find match'. It's broken so they have taken it offline to fix it.

"Im not having any problems so screw you guys"

How kind of you. I didnt get to play much today but while I was I failed to find a match about half the time and I have never done anything but solo.

Well that counts me out. I just came here to poke at the OP a little.

Anyways, it sounds like the MM was a little too aggressive with trying to match up people's skill levels. It's a good thing that they retracted it so that we can keep playing. Another few weeks won't kill us or the game.

Don't tell anyone this, but the golds are actually a secret group, hand chosen by the directors of PGI, charged with creating a hierarchical MWO society. What the purpose of this structure is has been kept a secret even from the golds themselves. Only Elvis knows.

I was able to get in 1 match in about 30 minutes with ELO running, and that match had 5 assaults vs 5 mediums. The rest of the time was searching for games, I rarely played in groups so idk what my dealy was

the lone wolf queue, is was fine for me, and i bet/think/albeit assume, that any complaints there of, are/were fabrications and machinations of those have been the root of the entire issue the whole time.

No no, jsut placate to teh guy with an 85% win rate and a 10 to 1 Kdr, because im sure he has legit stats. Im sure he earned that. Im sure its not a fabrication based on the systematic preying upon, new blood.

Ther may be a touch of sarcasm in there.

As much as I love Electric Light Orchestra, Don't Bring Me Down playing at max volume during every match and in every menu kinda hurt the game's atmosphere.
