So tonight i was with some old friends with a different group tag. 3 of them and I makes a 4 man group and thus from the information provided by PGI we should be in the 1 lance.

now before anyone starts to make assumptions, the rest of the team was scattered people, no full team alliegances, just a few 2 mans and 3 mans etc.

So we had 3 drops and EVERY drop it would split the 4 of us into different lances when our team only had other 2 and 3 man groups.

Now on the 3rd map i moved 2 of us from Bravo lance to charlie lance to get all 4 together, while i was moving a 2man group with the same unit letters for our spots.

now for some weird reason the game moved one of them to the spot in bravo lance and another of them into alpha lance.

How can i move 2 people from bravo lance into charlie lance but 1 of the 2 from charlie lances ends up in alpha lance?

this of course caused howls of rage by the 2 people in question expressing how dumb i was and how i screwed it up to the point they got killed without even fighting as they would rather whinge about being moved.

now if i move 2 people from bravo lance to charlie lance, why would the system put 1 of them in bravo and then another in alpha?


when are 2 man groups going to accept there going to be moved to fit the bigger groups around?

I personally had no idea who had been moved from alpha lance to bravo to let the guys from charlie lance get spilt up.

the 1st move was fine but the 2nd it moved me fine but idk how the bloke could end up in alpha lance, something the bloke sprouted about moving it around 1 by 1, but i don't see any other method of moving pilots part from 1 by 1.

Why is a 4 man group being split up in the 1st place when there are 2-3 man groups in the same team anyway?

has anyone any insight on this matter?

Its frustrating. However in a 8 man last night we/I tied to sort our group and it worked. I was an assault and invited the 2 others who were in assault then the 3 man we had in mediums then the other 2. Then in match we were all grouped up to the assaults and meds together. Forget where the other 2 were but I know at least one wastnt in either of our lances.

so as to formong groups currently, if you know who you want to drop in group with invite accordingly.

Perhaps you mis read, We had formed a 4 man group in game and on teamspeak but wheren't being placed in the same lance

There was a post by a dev i can't seem to find but it said when it puts players together sometimes it doesn't match up perfectly and you'll get split (due to groups of 3, 6, 7, 9, etc). Though admittedly if you have 4 people in a group, I think it should always keep you together, no reason to split you up no matter how the numbers work out.

what is up with Lances? I was in an underhive fight yesterday and we had identical mech class loadouts on each side

4Assaults, 4Heavies and 3Lights, 1 Medium....I thought the limit was 3/3/3/3.....

Are you complaining cause you weren't 3⁴ or that the other team matched your TO&E?

Or is this sarcasm?

a 4 man group shouldn't be broken up by the system.

whats even weirder is when i moved 2 of us to the charlie lance from bravo lance. the 2 people i moved where in a 2 man and it moved one of them to bravo lance, and the 2nd one got moved to alpha lance.

why would the system when i'm moving them from charlie to bravo on the 2nd move instead put them into alpha lance instead?

thats what caused the 2 people to become outraged as they had been moved but split up yet i had just done a clean 2 for 2 swap.
