Day 0.5 still searching for a match

[Redshift2k5]

Still searching... Queue time is pretty brutal so far in a 5-man.

Had fast drop times as a solo player. However, 4x3 wasnt working. Had more Assaults in the drops I am getting.

Hello Imgurite. In other news the first match took us 10 minutes. The second took us about 5. This was with a 9 man team.

[Speerit Ward]

6 players. 7 minutes in. No match. No me gusta.

All my drops were PUG(solo) drops.

Didn't see 4/3, probably because the test population was too small. My first drop resulted in a freeze during mid-jump and then a CTD after about 30 seconds.

My other drops seemed to be evenly matched up, ie. on my third drop: 6 assault, 1 light, 2 medium, 3 heavy on each team, and on my fifth drop: 2 light, 2 medium, 4 Heavy and 4 Assault on each team.

As for wait times, all of them were under 2 minutes.

Match 2:
Solo drop, Shadowhawk, Any
Found a match in <2 minutes

Sides seemed fairly balanced (only 3 assaults each)

[Dymlos2003]

As a solo drop my wait times are a few minutes not bad at all.

[Jonathan Paine]

Match 3:
3 man group, light, light, heavy, conquest
Found a match in 1:42 sec

Seemed fairly matched

Match 4:
3 man group, light, light, heavy, conquest
Found a match in 4 minutes

Seemed fairly matched

Match 5:
3 man group, light, light, heavy, conquest
Gave up after 18 minutes (no match!)

Match 6:
3 man group, light, light, heavy (any)
Match in 1 minute (skirmish)
Completely unbalanced:
Enemy: Us:
Lights: 3 6
Medium: 2 1
Heavy: 4 4
Assault: 4 1

Match 7: 3 man group, light, heavy, assault (any)
Match in 1 minutes (assault)
Balanced (enemy team 10 + 2 man, us 5+4+3)


Some matches were against 10 player pre-mades. These teams seemed to completely ignore the class limitations, creating very unbalanced matches.

2 person group, one in a heavy the other in an assault (Madcat and Masakari). Been in queue so far 7 minutes and no drop yet.

I have noted that I have a whole whopping 5 people on my friend's list online currently.

The last Public Test (pre Clan) had a large number of my friends online.

I wonder why this Public Test is lacking so many people?

[DEN_Ninja]

Thanks Roadbeer.

Failed first try with 10 man group at like 10 minutes.
Second attempt with 10 man group...still searching. STILL SEARCHING. HEY ROADBEER, CAN YOU HEAR ME? I AM STILL SEARCHING!

You wanted to play with your 5-10 man group but couldn't. Now no one can ever play a match ever again!

Solo drop. 5 Atlas D-DC in team

[sabujo]

I've run 4 games as light, medium, heavy and assault. Selected Skirmish only. Wait time ranged from 1 to 3 minutes.
The 4x3 is being verified but mostly in it's "relaxed" mode. I've got 7 assaults in one game, even though the other team also had a similar number. So, class balance seems fine.

[White Bear 84]

I wonder how effective these metrics are given the lower volume of players on the test server in comparison to the live server..
