For me, the worst part about CW is looking over the queues, ironically at the end of the NA attack window when it should be busy and knowing that by the numbers available, it is next to impossible to find a full group in less than a half hour of fruitless waiting. Before you say "You should get a 12", or "You're in a unit, where is everyone?", know that I play quite late in the attack window and there are rarely 12 on, and on top of this, most HK groups have full 12s by then and have no room for me. They really need to do something about making CW drops more attractive for more players in order to get a greater population and more chance of actually playing the mode. Flame on if you must, but this is a post of sadness and frustration.

There are usually open faction TSs for about everyone. Kurita I've noticed ONLY seem to drop in 12s, so you can get in but you are going to have a bit of a wait.

once the cease fire hits it takes a long time for the ques to fill up again. this has been my complaint for a while. wish there was a solution to keep the battles going.

I've suggested repeatedly that when we get 4v4 in, these "raids" should be allowed on multiple planets on each enemy faction.

Whichever ones get hit successfully the most (with a minimum number of successes above failures), open up for assaults and planet-taking later in the CW cycle. Thus, you would want and need smaller numbers of players raiding/defending worlds to prepare them for assaults- or those assaults could never happen.

Shame you wont accept what is needed to get most of the player base playing CW,

So this problem is solved.

Ah well have fun .

I'll be sticking to solo, I'm getting 6 games to your 1.

Most of the base is in solo/ group queue ,Do yourself a favour join them , CW is on its way to the graveyard with the 12 man queue.

We really need a sort of 4 or under speed queue where it will drop you in an eligilble game regardless of planet.

I can sympathize with that. Or you get on, wait for a group to form, and at about the three minute mark, it goes from 7 to 3. Then at the 6 minute mark, it goes from 8 to 2. Then at the 10 minute mark, you're all by yourself again.

Of the CW games I've played, I've had a lot of fun. It's a lot more tactical than PUG drops (what I'm going to call Skirmish, Assault, and Conquest) and people work together better (usually) out of necessity. But like you, I'm on a team, but our schedules don't usually sinc up too well, which means a lot of waiting in the singles queue when I can drop.

Things that might improve it would be "short drops," where numbers of less than 12 are allowed to drop (which sometimes happens in wars); or alternatively open up the front and allow factions to attack any system along their border. The second, in addition to the first, would allow a much more varied game than 12v12.

LOL...kthxbai!

Just like MWO was on the way to the grave like your last post too, right?

If you hate this game so much, and keep saying you have quit/will quit/are quitting/whatever, then just do it. Frankly, you mean nothing to anyone here, and talking about how you are going to quit, or have already quit is not going to get PGI to change anything to make this "your game" the way you envision it.

Many here still enjoy the game, enjoy CW, among the other modes of the game, and do not appreciate the trolls like you coming in to talk about how you have quit, or will quit, or are quitting right now.

If it is so bad you come in here to be bitter and think your one voice is going to change the world miraculously. Just do us all a favor...uninstall the game. Then, delete the forums from your bookmarks, and move on.

Another fine post to pad the forum trolls stats.CW is Junk and they will fix it in 2018 when there IP lease expires and the game is remade by more low IQ wankers.

I prefer the CW drops over PUG drops but there are some major issues that CW needs to be fixed. I have started to go back to PUG drops because I often wait 10 to 15 minutes for a 2 minute match because of the light rush. It's just not worth it for me to waste that time. For the solo player CW is not that friendly even though I prefer that style of play.

Wow. I have to say coming from a 9th Sword guy I am a bit surprised. NS / NKVA aside from a few rare nights has groups running pretty much all the time from 7 CST on to around 4 AM CST and we rarely turn people away. I think 9th even plays CW at times too. I am sure you know about the House Kurita Team Speak right? On weekends groups are running 24/7 in CW. Just come into TS we are here pretty much all the time.

Nah he (and notable others) just seem to have tectonic plate-sized chip on their shoulder about anyone that chooses to group up, make friends and work with others. Because there are more solos he and others think they are more important and we all should gfto of "their" game.
Don't think so just yet Solo John Rambos!

Of course I check in on the HK TS server. Most of the time though, the groups running are already full by the time I get out of work so there is no room to join them. Last time we had a full 9th group on TS, I hung out for 40 minutes before by luck I got a spot in the group. We then waited another 20 to get a ghost drop vs. Marik. CW needs some serious work STILL. I would like more CW drops, but the current system doesn't exactly promote participation. Get a 12 together and you still don't have a guarantee that you will get a game without having to wait out the ghost drop timer.
