It's true, your forum profile doesn't get created until you log in for the first time.

Hate to agree, But, 3/3/3/3 is just broken. 5-15 min waits per match is unacceptable.

[Odins Fist]

My wait times haven't increased, but I only tested 4 matches.

[Prezimonto]

You know what would be amazing?

A lobby!

One where we could be playing stock mechs all day every day, and our "wait time" is the honest time you need to get 24 people (or whatever) into your match with the rules you want to play.

You are lucky, I am choosing a light since it says that there are only 24% of those and it has been taking me 5+ minutes.

I wonder, since 3333 balance-magic spell has failed at second attempt too, will PGI respond in MC sale again? -20%? -25% Free MC maybe? lawl
My wait times were 12 mins for medium and 11 mins for heavy. 1 win, 1 lost, both matches were quite balanced, but I've spent ~50 mins for 2 games and ~150k c-bills income, damn it. I blame Paul.

[Malleus011]

Got two games in after a dozen or so launch attempts, (always in the 'most demanded' mechs) and quit because it was just wasting so much time looking for matches.

And 3/3/3/3 isn't in, so far as I can tell - one match had 4 heavies, the next 4 lights. Perhaps there is a 4/4/4/4?

Going to read the patch notes and see.

*edit*

OK, yes, apparently that's what we have now. That part at least is working ...

Repost due to button mashing error: Alright everyone. Matchmaking numbers continued to spike with Rule of Three's. So we are adjusting this Class Limit to a maximum of 4s. This means any of the following variations of weight classing will be possible:

3/3/3/3
4/3/3/2
4/4/3/1
4/4/2/2
4/4/4/0
etc..

We are going to see how this works out, there remains a strong possibility we will have to further increase this maximum or altogether shut off the class limits and revert back to group limits in the interim, so please stay tuned here. We are playing by ear on this one as we build the data. Thanks again for standing by.

Works ALOT better for me after they did this and i chose all three gamemodes (even if i hate assault). Waiting times went down from like 10 minutes to 2-3 minutes.

Edit: wrong thread, but still somewhat fits.

Holy Crap! Average 4 min wait. Some worse. This is terrible, horrific! Then wait one minute to play.

Does anyone over there at IGP test this crap?

[Flaming oblivion]

I bet all the pug stompers are refusing to play because they want the MM to stay broken.

[tm10067]

What these fishies did? Can't find a match at all!

....20 minutes, holly crap(((

When I looked at the % percentage of what class of mechs were, Mediums and Heavies were higher both then Lights & Assaults. This was the result every time I held the cursor over to see what people were running, the difference was negligible, the largest difference was 6% in favour of heavy mechs against each other type.

[Lefty McBoom]

I'm a Founder and give this game a lot of money because I don't have time to grind. So that makes me your customer and not just content. Waiting over 5 minutes to join a match is just poor customer service. I have better things to do. Trying hard to find reasons to keep playing but not having much fun. Can you take some of my money and add servers or something? Maybe a new map every month?

Thanks

[3rdworld]

I have been waiting for 5+ mins since they started screwing with elo matching.

Welcome to my hell of 4 games an hour tops.

This is either the worst matchmaker code ever, or the population is very very small.

. This will kill this game. I left WOW the first 3 months due to wait times.

[Majorfatboy]

Matchmaking has been taking longer and longer for Me for a while now. So long in fact, that I've developed the habit of keeping a notepad handy to doodle in while waiting for a match.
Today however has been the worst. Ten minutes. THIRTEEN MINUTES. Etc.
The following doodle that occurred whilst waiting to play the game can serve as highly scientific feedback about My experiences with the matchmaker post patch:
