same here, rushed home from work trying to get a game in before making dinner and have spent right now 26 minutes and counting waiting for a game.
the games I played last night were great, but he wait times make it terrible.

EXAMPLE

I click on Apollo and I see this message:

Planet:Apollo
attack: 12/12 (ready!)
defense: 4/12 (searching...)

I click on Tripoli and I see this message:
Attack:1/12 (this dude will wait for ever)
Defense:0/12

This way we don't have to wait FOREVER to find a game

Can I leave Tripoli now?

We need a Faction Chat beside the Unit or Friends Chat. That Way you can ask others of your Faction what they plan to do. And yes, of Course it would be nice to see who is waiting for a Drop with you. (Friends AND Enemies if there are some)

Second big Issue : fps on both new Invasion Mode Maps. For me the new hot Map is worse than the cold Map.

Otherwise I would wait until the End of next Week until everyone understood that CW has started

Participation should get better soon. Waiting Times should shrink.

It's nice that you're running this challenge for us, but the matchmaker is just not cut out for this job.... we need lobbies like we had in MPBT3025 where we can form up against an enemy team and then drop.

The matchmaker is choking so badly that I've been in and out of the queue for the last hour trying to get a match.... nothing.

Had a full 12 man for most of the evening - all through EU primetime and in to US east coast prime time and it was taking us a minimum of 30 minutes to find a group.

We finally split up and went into the solo queue but stayed in channel. About 1/3 of members had a match after 5 minutes, another 1/3 after 10, and the rest of us have been waiting more than 15 so far.

TL;DR: The matchmaker is not suitable for this task - just let us choose our own battles.

44 minutes and counting

Protip - of the 3 successful matches I have managed to get all evening, they *all* were found in less than 5 minutes... I'm waiting at least 8-10 minutes just to be sure but I have generally observed that you either get a match in less than 5 minutes *or* it bugs out and puts you in the void forever.

[Bashiba]

Well just hit and hour, time to give up for today

[ExoForce]

Protip to reduce waiting time:

do not accept ingame invitation for planets, check planets with action animation manually.
If You find the planet that is already attacked or defended by some group, usually connect time is around 5 mins.

This tactic I am using in PUG matches. Very often pressing Cancel after only few minutes will put me into the match. No kidding.

How about an alternate method of gaining challenge points?

Spend 30 minutes waiting for a match to start = 1 point.

[Deathz Jester]

Waited varying different times.... cant find a match, I've waited anywhere from 5 minutes to 30, along with multiple 5 minute waits.



Cant very well do a challenge without the matchmaking working.

[Katrina Steiner]

No one will be getting 20 drops within the challenge window.

[PhoenixNMGLB]

Something I noticed, although it may be a fluke is that if you go for the planets with a higher number of attacker victories you are more likely to get a match.

We gave up. I can make several million cbills in the solo queues WAY faster.

[Bartholomew bartholomew]

Well, I said if you all did something like this for the weekend I would BUY the other king crabs. Tomorrow I get a karma card for that. Thanks

[phatbhuda]

As this is an attempt to get us to test community warfare for you, I would have appreciated some sort of reward for waiting in the queues.

[Boaz Roshak]

CW is in disparate need of some fixing. I have already had enough of siting around literal for hours weighting to do anything because we have no idea what and where other players are. Looks like another challenge that I will simply not even try to be part of as my way of saying I am unpleased I will try CW again once you do something to prevent me from wasting my premium time queued up for hours.

[Racklesnack]

I've only been able to play one CW game, and that game had no defenders.....

[McHoshi]

The waiting queue is such a sad story bro

[Kinski Orlawisch]

When do we get the rewards? I thought 15min after finishing. Got nothing.
