Posting as the only official thread I've found is archived and therefore closed. (swept under the rug it seems, nice way to handle it PGI....)

There are still often MASSIVE discrepancies in drops. Still seeing match's with 4 lights on one side, none on the other for conquest drops, or like the one I was just in, 5 DDC's a HGN, 4 heavy's, a medium and a light on the other team and we had 2 assaults 4 heavys, 4 mediums and 2 lights on Assault mode.


PGI, we have been waiting PATIENTLY for you to do as you claimed months ago and tweak this to keep this from happening, it is a little better but not much, not enough to claim you are monitoring and working on this.

Before asked, yes it happens enough even during primetime when there are boat loads of people quequeing up to give good matching that we can only gripe, sigh and waste yet another 4-10 mins of our time in a no win situation. (that's grand for your ELO rating....)

The matchmaker may be the single most annoying feature in the game for me right now. I had a match last night where the other team had 7 Assaults, 3 Heavy's, 1 Medium, and 1 Light. We had 1 Assault, 3 Heavy's, 5 Medium's, and 3 Lights. Maybe if it had been Conquest, but it was Assault. End result was as would be expected.


I felt it only fair to edit my post and point out that I have been on the other side of this type of match as well. I particularly recall a Frozen City match where my team had 11 Assaults and 1 Light. I believe the match lasted about 4 minutes. Even winning like that is not much fun.

I don't mind having my *** handed to me in a close to fair fight but getting beaten by the match maker is sickening. I know a number of people that don't play anymore because of this alone.

You're on an island. The silent majority is enjoying the silly games.

I'm seeing that, sad that the community will just put up with it. Large statement that they don't feel issues we bring to the table are being considered.

I think this is being worked on guys. I know they laid out a case for tonnage ranges. I think it is going to be implemented. To be honest the number of people who will need to drive a 50 to 70 ton mech is going to go up when they implement it. A lance isnt going to be 4 DDC atlas any longer. This is one area that I know they are going to fix up in the near future. They just cannot afford to have a launch and still have players experiencing one sided battles based on firepower/weight for very long.

Ok fanb0y, if we don't call PGI to task on this then this is what you get, broken game. What you call crying is what most of us call 'reporting issues'. The problem is that PGI has been ignoring massive issues that have been running many people away while putting out 'sales' on things that do nothing to further/fix this game.

So if you wish to see this game end just keep playing, don't report things and keep on PGI to fix the issues.

Per my original post, this issue has been swept under the rug (archived) instead of being addressed, along with many others.

Given YOUR statements, the competitive people have left and we should feel 'happy' dropping into unbalanced games all the time... It's people with your attitude that help perpetuate this type of behavior from game designers. Apathy from the community will kill this game.
