so, after today's patch,

can i play with more than 3 friends if im not on premium time or do we have to quit this mess of a game?

we are 5 to 7 playin video game, (when 4 or less we used to play this but we're often 5)

if i have to pay again (already gave them 120$ total) i think ill just quit for now and wait for clan to see if things gets better...

No no silly vondano, PGI likes people complaining about pugs. they are giving solo players a bigger role in the game.

No and also never... last NGNG podcast paul said we're lucky to be able to group up as 4 as there were sources of pressure pushing for 3 man limit. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Yes.
Organized teams certainly do feel "lucky".

Oh wait. No they don't. Eat a bag of {Richard Cameron}. (Not you, Phil)

From what I understand, as long as the group leaders are on premium time, group size can be set in private lobbies.

[Abisha]

to bad for you, i as solo player not wanna be mixed into a premade game.
like the 84% of the player base.

[vondano]

lets say we are 5, and we wanna play... can we get the 5 of us and let the matchmaker fill the rest of the slots???

why not make separate queue for premade (2-10) and solo (1) and competitive (12)???

or balance premade... (if 1 lance is premade in red team, 1 lance is premade in blue team..etc...)

Is this a request to PGI, or are you asking how things will work?

If you want to play as a 5-man group, you'll need one person with premium time running, and then another team of people who have at least one person with premium time running.

If you want to fill out your group to a full 12, you'll have to ask people in your friends list...since you can't see anyone else in game.

That's the current system for your 5-man. Enjoy.

Sorry Vondano, but you are premade scum, and this game shuns your social kind.

In other news, Star Citizen is getting closer to dog fighting.

Clanners deserve to be 5 mans

[vondano]

wow... so, just to make this clear, cause im dumb,

I CANT PLAY WITH MORE THAN 3 friends IF WE ARE NOT 12?

we cant drop 5 and let the MM fill the rest of the slots in my team and enemy team?

why?? why?? this is a 12 vs 12 mans game right??? the fun part of the game is coordinating and stuff.. not just random dropping (not calling out solo guys, but you can understand the fun this would be to be 5 or 6 in a team...)

Sorry. PGI says" Deal with it or join a team. But only a small team or a large team. Don't you be making any half-assed middle size teams in MY house!"

Yeeeeeaaaaah. You know those numbers are bs right? As in most of your vaunted percentage are guys who would rather be in a 2-12 group. I am quite sorry you dont have any friends though.

All Im going to say is that if this patch works like the one in PTS sync was still possible and in fact easier

[vondano]

seriously,

if this was NOT a mechwarrior game... this would be SO dead...my god...

sorry, i dont mean to be all negative..

but i tough my "wait to play with the guys" time was over...

and now i see we will be playing league of legend again... ( since we can be 1 - 5) or any other game...

and we are not 12 ffs... we are 30 something years old guy shooting each other and drinking bear (AND spending 120$ on those robot) but it seems we cant do it like we want...

why dont they do ranked game (with all the current drop rules) and NON-ranked game? (where we can be 2-10)

I believe the wording was 84% of launches was solo. So that means for every 4 man, you only counted a single drop instead of 4, likewise for those other size groups as well.

So, it's not quite right.

Wouldn't it be cool if you had a solo queue?

No. Cause although this is what PGI said they were going to do for months... 86%. Working as intended.
