Other than this past weekend, I have never dropped solo. I always run with a friend and sometimes in a full lance.

I've noticed that the wait times are MUCH longer when grouped up. Sometimes it's ridiculous, upwards of five minutes, just staring at the spinny Search Ball. In contrast, I found matches usually in a matter of seconds when I dropped solo this weekend.

Have others experienced this as well?

P.S. Geez, at least put in Minesweeper or let us keep chatting w/ our lancemates while we playing Waiting For A MatchWarrior Online.

I am just going to go out on a limb here and guess you didnt look at this past weekends challenge at all.

I have no idea where you got that from. I have dropped in a group 99% of the time in MWO. It was because of this past weekend that I tried dropping solo, to get 20 wins, and noticed how ridiculously short the solo queue is.

I think their point is that the Solo Queue was moving faster, and Group Queue moving slower, this weekend because most of the people that used to play in Groups were PUGing to win the challenge.

Have you noticed the slower group times after the weekend as well?

It's been slow for weeks before this challenge weekend.

I've also started noticing server hiccups where everyone else is frozen in place, then after a few seconds it catches up, and I'm usually walking into a wall or something.

Hopefully the new server farm will improve things.
