hmm just patched with todays hotfix, now I just get an infinite connecting loop trying to get in. Never had this issue before. Is it just me?

Looking for the 3/3/3/3 thing to go back, had a match or two before it got dumped and it was a good couple of matches. I have been on both the giving and taking side of half a dozen or more jenners/ravens/spiders/etc, also had matches with more than it's share of fatties and I prefer to have the weight more evenly distributed. I have to toy with those .cfg settings, have not messed with that in more than a year. So count me as another looking for the return of 3/3/3/3

ouch, i can live with many stuff, but dropping against an 12 man Premade in an puplic Match is insane.

WTF is going on with MM after this hot fix? Today I finally could play Skirmish only publics, but 5 of 6 games I played were pure stomp games with me on one or another side. I don't like to win stomp games and I absolutely hate to lose them. Maybe it was bad luck strike, but it wasn't so awful even before 29th patch.
Would be cool to see statistics on games played after/before recent patch: number and type of games in every ELO bracket for PUGs and Privates, ELO dispersion for every target group, average score for skirmish/assault modes in every target group. I suspect that many good players chosen privates only matches, thus decreasing "skill & experience level" in PUGs. It is very interesting to check - if PGI would ever have courage to public such statistics.

Hmm let me clarify, I get an infinite "connecting" loop trying to login to the game itself, not a drop in a searching loop.

Good news everyone! The team may have figured out what the issue was. They are now working to put the build together and put it through testing. Our goal is to try to get this fix in time for the next patch. We apologize for this additional time spent with old matchmaking rules in place: We are all too eager to bring the Rule of Three's online to see more balanced matches.

So... next week or two weeks?

Edited to add -

Also any address to allowing 12mans to drop in pug matches, which has been happening? Easy sync-dropping and the like from the other day.

Interesting hypothesis.

They could be talking about Thursday. That is their usual 'OH-****!' patch day for when things are slightly less borked.

Patches are on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Tuesdays. You rarely get a 5th Tuesday, but fortunately this is one.

Collect Warrior online. Sad... I hate paying for a basic function of the game. Awful after all of the money I have spent. Bleeehhh,

Good Job PGI, speedy excellent repair...The Universe is now back on track. All that is needed is for you to give us Public Pugs the Map Choice option, and I will sing you're praises forever and even buy some Clan Battlemech's to celebrate!
