I just used the lfg thing, and Im 31 in line, 34 defenders, 1 attacker -.- sadface

But its not supposed to be a challenge because the attacker/defender ratio is out of whack

What they need to do now is give two points for an IS qualifying match and one for a clan. You'll still get it done faster as clan but it will make it a little more even.

I have another idea. 80 pts = 1 event pts
180 pts = 2 event pts

Here's the thing.
Not everyone's supposed to reach that 50.
It's supposed to be a challenge.

Exactly. I am so sick of seeing the entitlement fiends demanding that everything be easy or feasable for all comers.

You're right. Everyone who is waiting in queue for an hour to play ONE MATCH just has a feeling of entitlement.

They should totally spend 70 hours getting those 50 points.

Im sure most people are in the same boat as me but extending it over the week to thursday isn't going to help. I don't play during the week I've got a job and other responsibilities so the time they added isn't going to help.

If they extended it to May 4th so that we had 2 weekends for the event then I could actually participate and get some points. As it stands with the wait times and everything I'm not bothering with this event because its just not feasible to put 100 man hours into this game during the work week.

I can't agree with this more. I don't see how it is reasonable to introduce an incentive to play for an extended period of time, and then having to devote an extraordinary amount of time to even get the smallest bonus. Personally, I wait between 5-10 minutes. If I have not dropped in CW, I drop back into solo games or regular team games. There is really no excuse for waiting 1/3 or more of the total time that you could be actually playing a match, waiting for that match to pick up. CW literally punishes single players or small groups by always bumping them to the end of the queue.

It is extremely frustrating to wait until you get within the top 12 spots, then get bumped back to 30+. Even if you do get a spot, and it starts making a team, it kicks you out and sets you to the back of the queue again. Over and over. Then, you go back to the planet launch area and see the same 2-4 teams playing over and over again. Not only are these teams getting their little challenge points, but they get to practice endlessly, so in the same time that it takes me to get in a match or two and get into a comfortable CW mindset, they have already been playing in games for hours, learning the maps, finding the best cover, the best firing positions etc.

A computer game isn't something 99.9% of people should have to set aside time to play in order to enjoy and event. Because in the end, challenge or not, you have to be able to play first, and punishing people that don't have time or a group like the good old 12 man tryhard meta comp wannabes is just marginalizing most of the player base.

Even when attacker numbers went up there was still a limit of battlefields. There was something like 15 teams on each side not able to drop until other matches had finished, 360 players stuck in a queue due to a lack of virtual battlefields and then another 480 stuck in a queue after them due to a lack of battlefields and attackers :/

Thats what Im saying... It should be a challenge because its hard not because the game system isnt working right

This this and this.
Also it is bad if you game to wait 15-30 minutes or more to play 30 minutes top...which also means 1point=1hour

Let's hope they will extend it

[Joseph Mallan]

Might not be a bad idea. I am trying to Level my 65th Lvl Shield Fighter right now and its a 2x EXP weekend for Neverwinter.

It this rate, I might as well join the Clans for faster queue.

I'd rather wait an hour for a match than get in a stormcrow (or any other clan mech at that matter!)
