Looks like ill be doing other things this weekend..Not interested in the wait times or the spawn camping...
30 defenders zero attackers. what a cluster****.

[Igorius]

To chime in from the Clan pug point of view, I haven't had any waits for matches tonight. On the contrary, it's pretty much a "click to play now" sort of feeling, which is nice. However, the IS opponents that I've come up against have, in all but a single match, been 12 man teams, or some combination of two teams together. The one exception had a four man with eight pugs. I don't have to go into how deep the level of unfun is to drop against large teams, so breaking even on the 80 match points has proven a frustrating effort. Glad the whole thing's been extended to the end of the week, because as of right now I'm so far beyond burnt out that I'm making charcoal look pale and clammy.

30 mins and constantly beeing kicked back to the start of the queue. Well. Sigh. Getting 5 matches with 80 points to get that medall wont seem to be possible for me at least. :sad: IS player.

Maybe ask pgi to extend event to 2 weeks?

Dear PGI,

I bought a new internet connection a week ago and tested it to play this game - it was wonderful. I looked forward to this event, it was planned to be the only thing I did this weekend interrupted by some time with the wife.

After rage quitting last night I read the posts, looked into it this morning to see if it was fixed. NOPE.

3 drops from queues back to way lower number (14 to 31; 11 to 48; 26 to 3-something). and average of 53 mins to get in. I got into one game after 3 hours of letting the queue sit and spin. 3 AFKs, the connection rates for the IS were almost twice that clans, the frames jumped - clanners were not there after firing. My team was slaughtered. This is not going well.

You have been taking advice from the customers - you do that very well. This should be switched to the training for Tukayid event or a Trials for Tukayid even an re-launched for a go later after he issues are fixed.

Seriously - a sign up - splitting he community in half prior to he event should help. I think the overwhelming majority of the players are IS. I would plan to play Clan if I had the clan mechs to do so. But I'm waiting for the next clan bundle I purchased before doing that.

Thank good luck figuring this one out.

BS event, the only ones who can make enough points are maybe 2% of the whole mwo players, i don't have time and desire to spend my whole weekend playing mwo, and even IF i did, i wouldn't reach the minimum 40 points to get a new mech. do you guys smoke crack or some other **** to think this event will work well? i definitely won't play it (btw CW generally is a huge fail) and i think a lot of ppl won't, especially working ppl like me (and since a loooooooot of players are battletech readers/fans whatever the average age of players isn't 15 or some school kids who have time)

A week long as in spanning two weekends, yes.

They need to either allow contract breaking without cooldown to switch to clans (in all timezones) to get 50/50 numbers and fix the queue.
Or setup another IS vs IS planet so people in IS can just play for challenge points instead of queue waiting for a clan team to enter.

They already allow free switching of units to clans - see front page

I'm also getting a constant drop straight back to garage with disconnect error when joining a match So far I've managed to play one..

I've tried logging off, shutting the game down, restart router, the works.. cannot get back into a match.

[Manwue]

Playing even 1 match is impossible with the current queue system. Why aren't the uncontested defenders dropping and recapturing territories after 10 mins? Someone made some seriously wrong calculations when designing the queue system, it is currently unplayable and it is denying most of the players a chance to participate.

[Brienne]

Back in CW for this challenge. "Let's see those new maps !"
Now... I don't play MWO, I just wait... The WAIT challenge : "Wait an hour and get a match !"

I try a bit more, then I ll go back to standard games and I'll stick to it.
So bad PGI worked so hard for something we can't use.
"Anyone for CW games ? No thanks, I prefer to play."



No comments about insane reward goals... Need to play for hours and hours.
And I can't play
PS: By the way i'm not fond of CW. Personal question.
PS2: I'm stupid, I play IS.

WORRY NOT for help is on the way !

they are reacting. it is a weekend, but the queue size fix is on it`s way.
if you volunteer for fighting clan side, make sure you have clan mechs !

(alternatively - if you ever wanted a 2nd account for testing out clan machines besides your IS account, last week was the perfect timing.)

I really think the best thing would have been to test this out a few times before launching it as the full battle of this weekend.

Also, it should have been timed to coincide with h release of the next clan wave - since there seems to be a huge IS base of support for the CW games. Maybe then more people who bought the current clan release would most likely want to try those mechs against the IS.

Granted PGI is adapting and trying to correct - it just seems to be to late to save this event at this point. Maybe they will pull it off by the end.

Nah read the last page, they stopped doing it.
They might do another wave, they might not, perhaps not until they are in the office on Monday? Alexander told people to stay where they are until further news.

hey UrbanUK I also had same problem bro..throw me out of match..you just have to start the repair tool and it would all download like 6.7 gb to update the game people suggest me that and i am doing that...same problem like you bro.

This is the first time I have run the game since the patch, and that patch ran the repair tool anyway. If I have to repair their repair, then one of us has major problems lol

Ahh sorry my mind was blinded by suprising competence show by PGI extending event. Don't know why I assumed they will keep doing good work

[Inveramsay]

The only way this is going to work is if PGI lets us change to clan without the cooldown period as right now this is silly. There is more than 200 IS players queueing to get to shoot some clanners. At this point I'm almost ready to break my contract and just suck up the cooldown period as it doesn't really matter anyway given that I can't get any matches.

PGI, please ditch the cooldown period during this event

[PPO Kuro]

Whoo it's Mech Waiting Online again...great event... IF I COULD BLOODY PLAY INSTEAD OF F-ING WAITING ALL THE $##$@# TIME!!

Seriously, can't you people at PGI first think before you throw the events in here? I get the impression they just do things randomly and then after it's live do tweaks on it...ugh getting so fed-up with this.

Last night could only play one match. Then the lobby kept on crashing...yeah just bloody great ><
