So far I have seen NO other player in the CW lobbies. Of course, if an interested players jumps in, goes through a few planets and there is no one else, he doesnt wait any longer so it nevers fills up.

The only ones that play seem to be 12-man units that made a date with another 12-man unit. Thats what people in the "normal play" chat have said.


I have 2 suggestions:
A) Strongly suggested: Made a number of player list in the planet finder. Show how many people are waiting (own and enemy). This way in low traffic-time players can find each other.


B ) Make a "matches at this time" counter. Lets say a CW matches start only at the full hour. That way people can play the other game modes and then look if they can find a match in CW in the minutes before.
That can easily be made shorter later on e.g. to 5 minute intervals (or disabled with very many players).

It is even possible to imagine that when there are very many players for one planet that in the 5 minute batches players or groups can choose to get matchmaked.
If you have 3 groups, then single droppers or 2-man groups will change the group in the drop based on ELO, if they dont click "I want to be in this queue"
In most cases a single player didnt choose it anyway and this could smooth out the players abilities (or input devices)

You won't see anyone in the lobby until you get 12 folks. That needs to be fixed.

Oh...

That is... well.... m(

btw: Why have a lobby when you cant use it? lol The moment it gets usable, you leave it for fighting.

Yeah, it's just a bug. Should show the players queuing, but it doesn't. Currently only shows people once it's made a full team.

Its a bug likely to kill it for casual play you don't mind waiting around for 15-20 minutes when you see how many there but 20 minutes with none showing seems to be counter productive

Very true. I want my time wasted with blowing mechs up, not staring at a screen for twenty odd minutes. So nah, not trying again. Map looks good, though.

yeah. Much better to see if there even are other people queueing there.

But they clearly know about this, and hopefully it'll get fixed quick. It's very obvious.

I waited 28 minutes for my first game.
Map was nice.
We beat the jaguars :D

But the fps were truly horrible. It 8-14 fps later in the game, at start it was at least 18.
My AC40 jager bullets didnt hit 2/3 of the time.

Well it seems like you know about the long wait in the lobby. I've waited for 10 minutes, but with no sign of anyone else I didn't know if it was working so I gave up. I'm sure others are doing the same, so the games take even longer to reach 12 pilots.

On the plus side I did get to play a few matches, and it was awesome. Thank you very much. You've done an outstanding job, and the competition towards a goal is what will make this my favorite game for years to come.

Just waited 30 min watching the clock tick away before I gave up. I got a popup saying they needed help so I clicked on it and then hit defend and sat for 30 min then quit because there is no way to tell if anything is working or not working. I've only managed to play in one match sense the download.

30min? Seriously?
Single Queue is nearly unplayable! :angry:

Edit: After 30+9+9min in the waiting line, i found a match. Sadly i had 6 times in a row bad memory allocation errors and now chance to reconnect.

-> uninstall.exe

I haven't gotten paste the drop deck set up. The drop limit is 25 lb.'s to light. It should be 265 not 240. 265 would allow you to use one each of the heaviest mech in each class for IS mechs. I own 2 atlases 3 orions and a centurion. Even using the trial mechs I can't get a deck that is not over limit. I want 1 atlas and 1 orion in the deck. The best I came was 245 points. I tried to get it to let me just use 3 mechs but couldn't seem to get it to deleat the last mech in the deck. I guess it has to be 4 mechs in the deck.
