Out of curiosity, when did this happen?

still waiting....

I'm a glutton for punishment I guess. When it hits 60 minutes I'll have had my fill

So right now then.

If I had to guess, since the queue was 60+ for both sides, your team was pretty far down in the queue, and you needed to wait for a LOT of games to finish before yours could launch (because there can only ever be 15 games being played at any given time on a single planet).

[nehebkau]

At 60 minutes I bailed.

Seriously -- why pop up the "Caserie needs defenders" window if it really doesn't.

Looks like that match would have put you to the defense. I have noticed people dont like playing attack mode.

This is so funny , beats my longest wait I think .. but I have come close..... whilst waiting made dinner , ate dinner ... made 2 cups of coffee , drank the two cups and made several forum post!

[Kenyon Burguess]

casere is pretty crazy on the wait times. good fights tho when its finally your turn

[nehebkau]

When i see the "Casere needs defenders" window pop up I keep waiting for the :


"BAHAHAH JUST SCREWING WITH YA!" window to follow.

This is precisely why we need a recruiting text IM channel in the menus, To combat long waits.

You talk clan recruiting say you're waiting on X planet, and would love some assistance, people join and queue for it. Bam, match.

Whats better is when you got all the slots filled with waiting for orders........then everyone disappears but you.

[SuomiWarder]

Maybe any given planet should stop accepting DropShips of mechs when it is full to a certain point. Base it on numbers, average wait times, whatever. The planet should just be marked Orbit Locked or something.

[Hardin4188]

This is what annoys me. There will be 60+ defenders so your waiting time is forever, but no one wants to attack so waiting times for attack is forever.

[Roadbeer]

Yeah, the pop-ups lie.

It is known.

Better to go through the interface than use the pop-up. That's why people spend forever in the queues defending a planet that has no attackers.

The information on where to find a fight, quickly, is all at your fingertips, you're just doing it wrong.

This crap even happens to me at 2am, when it says there are 24 defenders and 11 attackers. I join the attacking team, but because they have some weird sets of numbers I end up sitting for 20 minutes before I just say **** it and go back to the regular queue.

One of a PGI said that if you are PUG searching for about 6 mins just to restart, because the MM lost you.

Beta problems...

because the advantage is more or less with the defenders still. The defenders just have to sit back, wait and pick off attackers as they funnel through gates. I mean don't get me wrong, attacking a well fortified base should be hard and challenging but there still needs to be more balancing done. It went from attackers winning almost all the time to Defenders now pulling most wins.

[CMDR Sunset Shimmer]

Yeah, that's an issue.
