Just because, everyone else has a thread and I feel left out.


1. Lack of Queue Information. Just a tiny bit of information, about which button we can push to get into a fight quicker, would go a LONG ways. This issue is by far the most important thing for PGI to fix. There isn't anything else in MWO which is even close to being as important to deal with.

2. Seriously - look at the Queue Information. There's almost no point in adding anything else to the list until that has been sorted. The entire forums should probably be deleted and just leave a single feedback thread: do something about the queues for CW. I figured it'd be a month before the queues for CW started taking 30 minutes to get a battle - I never imagined that the queues would be like that on the day of launch.


There. There's the list.

Queues and matchmaking maybe? So easy to fix really ... so why don't they?

[Cion]

I agree. I can understand all the BETA bugs and I can live with them, but waiting times and little queue information is not a bug, it's a design flaw.

Hoping they fix this before Christmas break

all we need is a quick match button that puts you in a queue for all planets of your faction, defending or attacking.

[ContingencyPlan]

Bugs before balance IMO. There are balance issues but let's worry about bugs first. The biggest ones I'm seeing are:

1. Crash to desktop on loading map in CW. When you rejoin the game your drop deck has been reverted to the default trial mech one. This NEEDS to be fixed.

2. Hitreg on CW matches is terrible. An AC/20 shell should not fly straight through an assault mech in front of you dealing no damage.

low fps is the biggest problem

[DONTOR]

FPS is the bigger issue, then queue times, only had 1 all weekend that went over 5-6 minutes. Was dropping with 12's all weekend though and that helps.

What he said, except reverse the order
queue times
fps hits

I have yet to get into a single CW match. The queue is the highest priority, especially fixing the preference of 12 mans over solos. After all, we can't beta test a feature without actually experiencing it.

Read the Post about FPS/CTD fixes from PGI. Use DX11 (if possible) and turn Down or OFF your Particle setting under Video/Advanced. Both have helped a lot of players with both FPS and CTD's.

Have you been clicking the Pop-ups as they show? Don't select a random Planet from the Picker... no no no. Best case. pick Turtle Bay to Defend. Pissing off CSJ while taking one off the Dial, is simply great fun.

P.S. Clan Smoke Jaguar fought hard over Turtle Bay all weekend but its Defenders seemed just as determined to keep it. Not sure of the count today, but will be back in my DropShip defending again tonight..

Oh yeah, I have done all that.
Erased the shaders before playing every time.
Helps but still a hit.
Normally 50 to 60, at times in CW down to the teens, ouch...

Lol

I just got logged out due to inactivity...

Funny part? I was in queue for battle, lol

Yes I have, today is the first time it actually worked. Was able to drop a few times.


Now that I have some perspective. Queue times should be top priority, FPS should be second. While the FPS drain was annoying, I only dropped into the single digits on the very first spawn for about 10 seconds. I know for some the continual FPS drops is game-breaking, but matchmaker is a far faster fix than a optimization pass.

You should try jumping into the House Kurita CW teamspeak to try to sync with larger groups to get matches more quickly.
