We are investigating the current issues with matchmaking. 

[Bob Jenkins]

The issue was either "failed to find a match" or "you cannot launch this current mech" or something like that. I didn't take a screenshot. Started happening an hour or two ago.

Vagueness.... so vague.

I have to agree ... a little more detail on exactly what the issues are would have been so easy and most appreciated.

Match player to player instead of team total vs team total.

1 elite 2 average and 9 scrubs /= 12 average, even if the ELO adds up

Just a suggestion: now that you have identified and recognized a problem with your systems: could you maybe turn off the big green "online" button at the top of the website. Realtime system status is really important, and right now you're broadcasting "we're up, everything's fine!" when you know that it's not.

Sorry guys. I'm just so awesome that matchmaker broke trying to find a full twelve to go against me. It failed.

[Brother MEX]

Does anyone know if the current problems are from a DOS attack ? ... or just the usual programing error from PGI

[PPO Kuro]

Of course it's broken...yay pgi!

Would be nice if it's fixed in the next half hour...

Some players managed to rejoin matches full of disconnected 'Mechs when the issue started, and got 12 kills with tons of XP, achievements and CBills doing so. Will that all be reverted to make it fair? I was able to rejoin one myself and got the last kill. Someone else had the 11 others...

[Kalamity27]

I guess I could be productive around the house. .. since I can not find a match.

[Bill Lumbar]

Yeah... I am getting the very same message..."failed to find a match." Is this a sign that I need to take the day off from the event, even though it will take me two weekends to get the champion 3L raven, (I have never purchased ravens yet) and build the new I74790K build that is coming today? Hmmmmmm......

Thats what I feared:

A DOS attack to get DEATHSTAR and/or the 50 points for the Raven challenge

If they knew the reason for this issue, they wouldn't have to investigate it.

It would be clearly a violation of the MWO rules, to use a bug for your advantage.

[Dacus]

Yes investigate......and meanwhile others benefit from this by successfully entering the matches (don't know how) and destroying all the mechs from unfortunate players (us with the "failed to find a match" message) so they finish with 6-12kills per match...In this way they complete the events in just a few matches...
So much fairness...

Sitting in CW trying to drop and the Lobby was destroyed... That's a new one for me... So the Inner Sphere has managed to make the cannon actually hit our jumpships? This calls for planetary bombing.

I highly recommend taking the server down until the problem is resolved, or they're going to feel like it's a DDOS, due to the amount of people trying to find games unaware of the issue.

Players are more understanding of a server that's down for maintenance than one that says "Online" but really isn't, and they'll keep running their head into the wall until you stop them. Probably won't help the situation.
