No joke, I must be on 10+ minutes now. I'm getting bored trying to play this game. I'm using a light mech btw.

This is what happened the last time they tried 3/3/3/3. Looks like their "fixes" did nothing at all.

[Mainerd]

It has been a 10 minute plus search also
. This will kill this game. I left WOW the first 3 months due to wait times.

Just wait for them to announce they turned 3/3/3/3 off again

They did a partial, they removed the "1 premade per team" feature but it didn't fix anything.

I've been playing mwo since beta and this **** is really getting old just give up on 3v3v3v3 you cant do it right. I've been waiting over 10 minutes and still haven't found a match. All you are doing is screwing people over i play light, medium, heavy and assault mechs and have never thought it was unfair if the other team had more of one class than another. I have won matches with 8 lights and lost matches with 8 assaults. I just want to shoot **** not have you tell me what i should drive.

[Sloddor]

hope they sell it, and someone does their job right ;/

Of course it didn't. 1 premade per team isn't what's causing the long wait times.

5-7 people on each team wanting to play Atlases in every game is what's causing the long wait times.

Apparently you can hover over the launch button and see the relative numbers of weight classes being used.. pick less used weights and you'll get matched faster.

wow, I guess all the folks that begged for it should have read some of the reasons why not to do it.

But on a side note,, maybe wait till more have patched to turn it on. Because it may be working just fine, just not the player population to support it. (and that it a little scary atm)

Mine showed 25%-28% for every weight class. Lights being 25% and fastest to que. Don't look like there is this huge imbalance of weight drops atm

In that case, what's your main account...since this one was created May 10th, 2014? I'm not disagreeing with your points, just wondering why you need an alt troll account to voice them.

this is my main no idea why it says ive only been a member for 10 days.

[Scratx]

Matches don't seem to be taking much longer than usual... they are taking longer but...

Now, there is one nice side effect... matches seem more balanced.

Nope.

I got up to 31 minutes in a solo-drop medium, which was the preferred weight class when I hit "Launch" with no game found.

The algorithm they are using is hosed.

[Mainerd]

For me the percentages seemed close to me between 23% and 28% between all the classes so it must be the ELO that's borking up the system.

[J3nkins]

Queue times are longer than the matches themselves... the main think I liked was that I could hop on for a quick match and get back to other things I need to do, now I have to have 20 mins to just get into a game? ( still haven't btw) Then the games you do get seem no more balanced than before. This is ruining this game for me..

[AlmightyAeng]

Is it any better with 4/4/4?

I'd guess it's because you've only been a member for 10 days.

[J3nkins]

That's apparently what I'm on right now... bought a light just for it since it was the lowest queue time, still no game.

Yes, the time joined is linked to your forum, so you may have had a MWO account for longer.
