Very frustrating to have to sit in one lobby to wait for it to get filled at least as a solo drop.

Could we please get an option to Attack any/Defend any? Would help people get games going a lot faster.

Also any chance of whlle in lobby to see current load out of a mech we are thinking of putting in our drop decks? or maybe even accessing mech lab while in lobby? (get an alert once lobby is filled and game is counting down to start so people can do any final saves)

just some thoughts.

after an hour no game regardless where i went at 15 min a lobby not a good cw experiance

if it says this place needs attackers or defenders then it should be close to full both sides...

also the lobby need to be seen to keep track of how many people are there and at least a faction count for every faction in cw so you can better pick planets

Form a group and it's not a big deal.

If you are solo dropping, well it's a problem right now because of all the big units forming 12 mans. I know we have two groups running right now, and pretty much 8+ in each group....

Plus there are the popups showing which planets need defenders/attackers, tried using those?

Yes, and it still is problematic hitting dirt.

Agree need attack / defend best planet available.

This would be a nice option to have. I personally give zero shits if I'm defending Spica or Turtle Bay. I just don't want to spend another 90 minutes doing nothing but queue.

Agreed, we need an "attack any / defend any" option.

I'm trying hardtop understand why PGI is insisting to make this so difficult for solo players. I get that they think we are the scum and hangers on, not dedicated enough to be worthwhile. We still spend money. We still keep the game filled. For all the talking down to it, the PuGs launch a lot sooner than groups (implying more people available).

I've tried to launch in CW 5 times now. Waited a couple f minutes n each with NO other players showing up.

it is a big deal, because group has to be a unit, and so if you don't have enough guys online in your unit, you can't make a group. or was the idea of a unit-only group dropped?


meanwhile watch a vid



^shameless selfvid promoting.

as a solo player I'm struggling to find a match but I have hope, I would really like this feature to get into a match as quickly as possible.

Vlad said it best.

Public queue still works ^_^
