These wait times are useless for IS.

I'd be curious to see the point award payouts for Clans vs IS at the end of this challenge/battle.
I'd be impressed if there were any 50 point awards given out to IS.

What's worse is extending this unbalanced game mode until the 30th.
Just means another week before I can hopefully get a drop on CW.
Wait times of an hour plus for guys that don't have a dedicated 12 man to field - because someone in your queue decides he's had enough and bails, and you're thrown to the end of the line is garbage. We've waited our turn, grab a random pug then, cause I've yet to play a game. This "to the back of the line for you" is getting beyond frustrating!

I've been having a blast with the event so far, 28 points out of 29 matches. In the first one we cut to the gen so fast only 1 player managed to get over 80. With our 12 mans we have nearly no wait times. And we loose plenty too, so it's a great experience.

About to drop for my 5th CW match in 3 days. I still belieeeeeeeeve!

This event has seriously made me feel MWO is becoming increasingly less fun and not worth my valuable gaming time.

I regret I ever purchased the Resistance pack, and all that MC. Waste of money.

I don't understand how anyone thought this was a good idea or why people defend it.

I just want to remind everyone that all this dev studio has made before this game was PSP/DS games and fishing games. They also helped with Duke Nukem Forever.

Aaand the line is growing again. 35/50. Will take some time, maybe I ll call it a day

[MemeCreamSupreme]

What's with everyone saying IS is OP? I've lost every Counterattack, which is basically skirmish with one team on slightly higher ground.

I've even lost a defence, Clan long range game is just overpowering.

[Frank Burns]

the problem is, as clan u fight against IS premades most of the time

[Krellshand]

Sigh***

Now I am waitng for 45 minutes and my time is running out, its getting late,

I just cancelled the matchmaking search and feel like crap for doing it and sending my fellow teammates from 9 back to place 54, but i has takes just too long to find a match

In clan u got instant games, but u also lose them instantly thanks to premade IS all over the place

[MagikMan191]

that's funny LilShlomo - all I've been fighting against is premade clans. and the pug factor on IS is horrible on this event. I've never seen so many trial mechs on one side. Guess the pugs figure this is a great way to try it out? Obviously they want the illusive treasure of prizes. Too bad they can't possibly get any serious points with these IS wait times and broken queue.
Ohh wait, from 9 back to 53 in line. Thx whoever just left our group

The "12 mans get a game first" combined with the way higher player count on IS really doomed the whole event to fail. It's just so bad i can't really find words. IS players who are not in a 12man wait for ages, while clanplayers who are not in a 12man are nothing but cannon fodder for all those IS 12mans who instantly pass the queue.

I'm sure this event will drive quite a few players away from CW forever.
Clan pugs getting their heads chopped off by 12 mans all freaking day long while IS pugs sit in the queue just to get the shaft whenever a 12 man enters the queue or someone leaves the queue.

And they are expected to complete 40 games of CW under said conditions. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

Okay how did PGI think when they made the que system like this?! I would be fine with standing in line, what I'm not fine with is that if someone leav at place 3 when I've been waiting since place +50 you get bumped straight back into the last place again... Why should eleven people have to pay for one man's action...

Did they even think before they started this mess? at all? Seriously....




aaaand im back to 50 again, one hour and counting...


and why the hell did you start the event on a friday? Why not start it on Wednesday monitor the first 48h put in some changes and then it's weekend and everything works, for me that sounds like a much beter plan..

[Frank Burns]

is some PGI staff even reading this forum?

[Mark Brandhauber]

PGI do not work weekends

[Sniper09121986]

OK, when DO they work?

[Commissar Aku]

Why is it that Clans, who are supposed to be the honorable ones just push with some direwhales and spawn camp, every single game?

[aGentleWarrior]

This could be fun BUT

i wait, and see i am number 47 in line to deploy,
after 10 minutes I am number 33 to deploy,
after nother 12 minutes I am number 27 to deploy
