I was just in a match where my team had 9 Heavy 'Mechs. I looked around to see if there was a hotfix or update that removed the weight class matchmaking balance but i didn't find anything, so forgive me if I missed something.

They turned it off Tuesday.

Roger, explains a lot, thanks!

They shut it all off again as it wasn't functioning properly, so aside from LRM's/SRMs and SSRMs being bugged (I went from 640-900+ Dmg Per match with 2 ALRM 10 and 2 ALRM 15 [11 tons of ammo] to 250 dmg) we're back to Pre-Patch.

That was fixed as well. Same poorly performing SRMs. But at least they deal the 2 damage when they register.

Yeah, I was just confused I guess since it still showed the percentages of what weight classes were needed for the queue. Hopefully the hotfix today helped the missile problem.

They made a series of annoucements. First 3x4 was live, then they widened it to 4x4, then 5x4, etc., until they disabled it altogether. PGI said that they'd set it up so they could do exactly that so that, if something bad happened, they'd be able to gather plenty of data regarding how widening the parameters affected the MM. Apparently they discovered that it wasn't population and it wasn't the parameters, but rather it was some underlying MM logic that was bottlenecking the MM and ramping up search timers.

Hopefully once they get that worked out we will see 3x4 return for good. By all accounts, when it works, it works well.

5X4 must have been SWEET!

Just play on the stock days. The other four days are for grinding cbills for stock mechs.

Saturday and Monday Next week since I get to sleep in!

It's always been my understanding that MM and Logic were mutually exclusive.

[Bobzilla]

They tried up to 12x1 (no class restrictions), still failed. It is the code that causes long wait times. So, 3x4 hasn't even been tested yet. If they find the problem, they can turn 3x4 on without a patch.

Let's not get crazy here.
I might get guilted into a night or two, here and there.
But until this game has some substance beyond a half-assed Esport, I'm just trolling until DFM is launched.

I was talking about the forum. But try the Stock night Saturday or Monday nights for some good MechWarrior action.

Oh, well, then thank you, it's nice to be back. I like the new paintjob

Oh, can I group with more than 4 and less than 12 people on those nights?

No money from me until I can kill an entire squadron of the enemy ... or die trying.

Have they tried the ever reliable 2x4 to the servers? Might jiggle something.
