[Todeshonk]

third time back to 45+ and good night... again.

[Hakuhonoo]

Yea, really loooong wait time. Already wait this ****** battle more than hour...

[Count Ugolino]

Wait times of half an hour, queues of 50, getting down to 30 and then resetting to 50... We need a hotfix, badly...

Made it to number 9 after 35 min, then reset to 55...

If people would stay in queue it would only be maybe 10min +/- a couple. Currently been in queue for 37 minutes, been dropped back from the mid teens at least 4 times that I have noticed. That's less than a 10 minute queue if people would stay in. Less than what they would wait for a regular CW match most days.

My unit has a 12 going (read, nobody leaving queue) and it is taking them 5-10 average 15 on the outside to get a match right now. The only programing problem right now is 11 people losing spot to 1 pug. and average wait time indicator would probably stop 1/2 of the leavers leaving.

Been re-queued four times today, last night the Anai only had 2 matches as a team in 3 hours.

[Shot2Peaces]

Why do I keep getting bumped back in line? I have been waiting for one hour and no match. It just keeps bumping me back.

Oh, and I've had half a dozen drops where one side is all the same clan, and just random pugs, want screens?

LFG Tool in use.

So i'm now number 11 in attacker que - there's 50+ teams waiting to defend. Why the hell we can't play ?

all 63 zones are full. You would think they might add more for the sake of the event given that the queue time is already ridiculous as is for IS.

[Qualtain]

all 63 zones are full. you are waiting for something to fight over, wait 3 minutes

There are roughly twice as many IS groups dropping as Clan, so this is the issue.

Great event! Waiting Simulator 2015 is a great game!

[Tank]

And I was thinking fighting this event in Urbanmech is gonna make it impossible.

Inner Sphere side of Tukiyyad makes me miss free SPAAACCE of Periphery.

I wonder why battle slots were limited to 63?

IIRC, had something to do with maximum available per planet being 64 (0-63) due to programming? 15 was just a number they chose to use, before this.

Make sense given its the lowest odd number below the common 8x8 bytes in a 64 bit memory array.

But they'd be wise to up it to at least 256 in the code if they want this game to scale up to Steam proportions.

So there is zero love for puggers. I keep getting rubber banding from 50-60 down to 10 in Q and then getting tossed back up to 50-60. Repeatedly. Please fix this. I can't get 1 point in 2 hours. Someone dropped the ball.

Despite what shills will say about how this game has 603239580 players, it really only has around 1.5k online at any given time.

Not all those players will be playing CW.

So... 64 x 24 = 1536 player limit for CW, which is more than enough.

But then you have an event like this which causes more people than normal to log on and suddenly you have 3000~ players logged on at once trying to play and...

Well yeah, I don't understand why they didn't see this coming, more people are always online for events, I don't know why they assumed it would just be business as usual.
