Group of 2 with one light and one medium. It has been 11 minutes and we are still waiting for a match.

[CaptainFuture]

hey,

can't get anything with assault or hvy or medium. only light seems to work. others endless wait times.
this is total bs.

bye,

Just admit it, 3/3/3/3 does not work. It needs to be scrapped.

Date: May 20th
Time: 21:10 (UTC+1)
Weight class: Heavy
Group/Solo: Solo
Time taken to find match: 15 min (!) and counting (!)

*Sigh* We clearly have different definitions of what a successful implementation is...

Report Start Time: 2:55 Eastern Daylight Savings Time.

- Solo queue medium, per the recommended weight class. 5 minute wait with nothing before manually cancelling out.
- Solo queue medium right after that, again per the recommended weight class, and we're currently at 21 minutes and counting with neither a match found nor a failed to find match error.

This is not acceptable.

Even if the "problem" is a lack of players online right now or those who have finished patching, it still is a painful indication that 3-3-3-3 has no hope of working with a small player base and thus only *might* work during peak hours... and even that is not yet verified. Of course, if all that does is cut my 21+ minute wait to find a match down to 7+ minutes, it is STILL not acceptable.

Can we just throw in the towel on this clearly unworkable idea already? Just place the weight limit on pre-made teams and let PUG's actually PLAY the game.

you need to expand ELO class

What they need to do is turn ELO off and let 3/3/3/3 do the balancing for now. ELO + 3/3/3/3 is simply too much for the Match maker to handle.

Still doing testing myself. So far 9 minutes and counting to see if I can find a match as a solo medium launch.

Wait time 10 minutes and counting...... 13 minutes....

18:45 UTC - Light - Solo - 10 minutes before finding game.

19:00 UTC - Medium - Solo - 15 minutes before cancelling matchmaking

[Name1e55]

23-00 GMT+3
Group of 2 heavies+assault, skirmish - 5 minutes found a match (after 4 minutes 12-0 steamroll)
Group of 3 heavies, skirmish - 10 minutes canceled.
Group of heavy+med+assault, all modes - 5 minutes found a match (with our 2 lrm stalkers circling around each other an pew-pewing tags...)
Why I'm forced to waste my premium time on "searching" instead of actually playing the game?

edit: Solo hvy. 10 mins and still waiting...
edit : 11 minutes - found a match. 4/0/4/4 though

2x 15 mins waiting time, then cancelled searching. Barely left anything from my 1 hour daily gaming time Time to play a couple of fast Minesweeper round

[CMIRKO]

solo drops - 21:15 CET
first match: canceled medium after 5 minutes on clock
second match: played same medium after 4:13 on clock
third match: canceled light after 4:11 on clock (although it was recommended)
4th match: medium drop - 5:11 as of this moment....

although I think that 4x3 is a wonderful idea in theory I'm not really sure is it feasible in practice if these are the intended wait times....

[color=#00FFFF]Attention players.[/color]

[color=#00FFFF]Wait times have extended in some cases farther than expected. As a result, we are removing the one-premade per team limit at this stage, while retaining 3/3/3/3.[/color]

[color=#00FFFF]This means that each team could include more than one 2-4 person premade per side.[/color]
[color=#00FFFF]The matchmaker will continue to aim to match an equal number of premades per side, though edge-cases may still occur in order to push you into a match rather than leaving you waiting longer.[/color]
[color=#00FFFF]Note that this will NOT re-enable situations of 12 person teams versus pick up groups.[/color]

[color=#00FFFF]Thanks for your patience. We hope to hear your feedback on how this affects your wait. [/color]

Shouldn't it be the other way around? Keep the 1 premade per side but disable 3/3/3/3?

[FiglioDiBatman]

Here are 2 lights waiting for 5+ minutes fora match.. bad experience.. and then: we won12-0

Thanks a lot, matchmaker, for a such balanced game experience!

Absolutely abominable.

5+ minute ques using lights/mediums/heavies so far.

Less variation in game.

Predictability in an already incredibly predictable game.



What were you thinking?! Oh, right, listen to the crying casual gamer who didn't like having to fight out-tonned once in awhile, like usual.

Sub-par PGI... sub-par.

Not if it's a lack of solo players causing groups to back up (causing the entire process to back up as it waits to find matches for groups first).

Not waiting anymore... leaving till this is fixed...
