40 minutes of trying. Can't get a single game in. The 8 manz are dead, and we killed all the competition.

When we got game in, it was against the same 8 dudes, but they went SQUAD BROKEN. Please give us a lobby already.

The world's population is estimated to be over 7 billion. It;s a strange feeling being amongst the only 8 people that want to play an 8 man.

[Vassago Rain]

When you click the button in 4 manz, you instantly get a game, and it's not against the same guys ten times in a row.

Might, just might have something to do with it being New Year's Eve?
Heck, I'd be out but the timing belt just broke on my car.

Christmas we did alot of tryhard stomping, so no.

5 bucks says I can find more players on MWLL right now.

Might, just might it have to do with broken and useless matchmaking and hypocrite premades just wanting to roflstomp PUGs?

I usually avoid the OP because of overwhelming negativity but he is right this time.

8-mans are deserted.

We had a lot of games going on christmas, but a lot less than we had prior to christmas, and prior to that prior date, there were more games.

In other words, there are barely any people playing 8 manz, because why would they, when they can drop in the ghetto to farm easy money and XP? We need lobbies.

8-manz are too busy sync-dropping 4-4. It's so much more fun to stomp pugs, really builds up their tiny egos. ^^

Aww, you missed us playing 8 mans Sunday night.

If they don't fix this soon, we're gonna reach a point where the only way to get 8 manz going is to call the people you want to play, and set it up yourself.

That's what we did, we played SJR, and got a few random 8 man's inbetween trying to sync drop!

[One Medic Army]

I definitely agree we need lobbies, and skill based matchmaking (so people get used to losing while grouped), and finally I'm hoping that something is done about the no tonnage matching in 8man queue.
The last 8man I did was random guys on the NA Comstar server, and after 3 straight losses (following a mixed bag of wins and losses) we decided as a group we just weren't running heavy/skilled enough, and broke the group.

How shocking.

Come on PGI, just give us lobbies already, please? I'll buy more MC if you do.

How the hell is it so hard for a custom game systems for 16 players?

Goons have been basically sync dropping on seperate teams and killing off the non-goons so they can have private games.

Only problem is that means players lose their mechs for 15 minutes while they **** around in the game.

I'll bet my hangover you chose a poor night to sync drop. Even still, having nobody to play against means that this game need MOAR PPLZs... and a GD lobby.

8manz queue =/= sync dropping.

And we did lots of 8manz during Christmas, just apparently not one was on at all during New Years.

What the game needs is for people to man-up and play in the 8-man queue and quit sync-dropping for easy mode like a bunch of kindergarten kids who missed nap time and need to pick on someone to feel better.

Also, Re; New Years. Who the heck sits at home and plays video games on NYE anyway?
