Up till now and have enjoyed the CW immensely, in fact if not for the stocking stuffer contest it's the only mode I would play.

But yesterday from 6pm PST until I gave up at 4am PST I did not successfully drop once... not once.

Worse on a dozen occasions when the the drop was full with 12 pilots the "giving instructions" would never end I waited twenty minutes over eight times and never was dropped.

Anyone know what the deal was? I sent PM's to Devs reported bug, but it's holidays so it's a skeleton crew. The weird part is I was dropping into CW light mad with no problems whatsoever the two days before, as part of a group and separately.

So, any thoughts?

jhonny... If you are new to the game i can perhaps give you an asnwer why you have to wait so long for a cw match when you see 60+ ppl on the planet.


its because.........

There's two possible things at work.

1) You are playing defense, and await your attackers to show up. No attackers showing up ruins everything oddly enough.

2) If the queues are full, then everyone in front of you has to start up a match (with at least a 1 min wait per complete 12-man group) AND if there are no defenders, "the wait" is on up to 10 mins.

Inevitably, there is always someone holding up the queue, and it's hard to reconcile with that at times.

Well lets see, it went on all night, and every time the lobby would fill up, and after 10 15 minutes of no launch the pilots would leave. I saw the lobby fill and unfill, then fill again several times with no launch.

I was playing defense, attack, anywhere that had at least a dozen people in there nothing.

I have been playing for a year, and well before that, more importantly I had no problems during the previous 3 days of heavy activity.

Still hoping for some useful info.

Not helpful mate, I know you were trying to be funny but no need to hammer PGI about this. It is "Beta" community warfare remember? clearly there will be bugs and they will have to be addressed.

On the other hand, if you have some helpful insight I would be happy to get that.

Cheers.

Beta? This hole game is in alpha if you consider an alpha as a game where the core pillars arent implemented yet. Beta= polishing and bufix

Btw iam too annoyed to make jokes or to be funny...

Actually, that's working as intended.


There's no Elo matching or even group matching in CW.

Thats fine but dont expect casual gamers to run now a unit. Even if you have a unit it doesnt mean we are all that serious in this game.. We wanna have fun. The more its designed for full unit /comp players the less player will play it and the more you gonna probably wait in the future

^ so they intended no one to be playing CW after stockings? Okay.

The server numbers will suffer but sure its worth it

They had to separate in the solo queue

And will have to do so again

I get cw is meant to be a team mode great

So one team can face another team on comms

And pug teams can only face pug teams

Don't force pugs to fight at a huge disadvantage atleast give pugs the option

Or CW will fail and PGI will be punished in their pockets.

PuGs don't want to face 12 mans 8 mas 4 mans

This has been proven time and again

don't stop them droppingjust keep them away from pugs

SORRY but us PuGs don't want them near us.

And im sure the feelings mutual so just separate.
