Clans taking the planet while outnumbered 40 to 1? Hmmmm ... sitting in queue waiting for a match is so much fun as IS. Seems there are some kinks to work out.

The number is not your position in the queue - it is just the number of groups queued on each side.

There's a number that shows your place in the queue. The problem is, if one person leaves your group, you go to the end of the queue. So, when people see their # changing, someone has left, and immediately joined...

I hope they just open up some other worlds, let IS fight IS, and still count towards the event... Tukkyid will have plenty of people fighting for it.

Spent 1hr20 mins enduring lobby resets and error messages, finally got in a CW Tukayyid match. Ended up against a Clan Wolf organized team and we got destroyed. Sorry, I was excited for this event, but not now... I hope the Clan teams enjoy their rewards, I'm not going to be cannon fodder.

HA HA HA

Hmmm ... finally fight through the queue and get a drop and get "Lobby Destroyed" error with no match. Thank you PGI. What can be better than waiting forever for a match and then having the game break.

[Wittmann Pryde]

F*** off CW... i play normal games -.-
2,5 waiting and just 2 played games

It seems this is a glitch. This happened to our 12 man just a few moments ago.

clans dont need more people. they already faceroll us with the stuff they have.
i dont think getting any of the rewards is possible atm.

Clans are winning because they have fewer people. That is, the ratio of Random Pug Players to Players In Units is MUCH different on the Clan side. A much larger percentage of the Clan players are experienced players in organized units. So, Clan side gets more Organized Unit vs. Random Puggies matches.

Also, we're just more awesome than you. But mostly the first thing.

Well, spending so much time in the lobby to wait for a game, and then some unpatient folk leaving the group, reseting out queue position from 3 to 39 or so.

So yeah, not really funny. And if you get into a match, most likely you stumble upon an organised clan 10-12 drop. Eh, I think enough of CW for now. I am going back to the other game modes.

No, it's not showing your place in the queue. It's the territory you're queued to fight over. That number has no relation to how long you have to wait.

It changes when someone leaves because when you have <12 players in your group, you're not assigned to a territory to fight over. Then when you get another player, you're assigned a new territory.

This could actually result in a shorter wait - although it could be a longer wait, or roughly the same wait. But it's NOT queue position.

Actually got into a match and had the server crash. Wow.

[Divine Retribution]

It is your place in the queue, it says so on the bottom. It says "you are number 30 in line to deploy" or whatever number until you are in the top 10, then you need to count the arrows. The number to the right of the defend queue is the number of full teams waiting to drop.

I hope PGI gives us stats after the event, including number of attacks that last less than 5 minutes.

The zerg rush has been proven effective once again, methinks.

Server crashes ... mechs left in game to a match I can not connect to.

[Codestar]

Crashed. Lost a point!

[Elbrun]

At this point I'm not even sure it's worth joining this event. Since no matter what IS gets pugs vs premades, which ends up with in some cases as bad as 48 v 2 on IS v Cl losses. Getting 80 match points? right, most of the teams I've been on have been lucky to get over 40.

[Mao of DC]

I think it was a Full Server Crash here folks. My entire unit got dumped from the game.

Yup wasted 15 mins into a match and got disconnected from the game server. Can't rejoin and 4 mechs are now locked. Thanks for the great event. It's bad enough for normal PUG games but wish they focused on fixing bugs instead of trying to add more content. It's great to have shiny mechs and new CW maps but what's the point when you can't enjoy them and you waste half your "game" time waiting in queue. Doesn't make for a fun product.

EDIT: Also before you get defensive PGI and state: Oh it's your PC, your ISP, etc, I can safely assure you that I've never gotten dc'ed as much as this game and I've gotten a lot more hours logged on other games. I've gotten dc'ed from MWO at least 5x as much as the next game with about 1/5-1/10 hours in if I were to guess.

Looks like someone over at PGI dropped their margarita onto to the server ...

[Daikyu Kell]

Wonder if we'll get server stats for crashes and disconnects??? my money is on this being the top stat

[htsmithium]

The clans were winning too much so they crashed the server to give IS a break

[Zolaz]

Looks like the Clans got all the credit for wins when the server crashed.
