20 min wait right into a SWOL 12 man. Our first push got us 12 - 0 (they got the 12) in maybe a minute

That sucks.

[LORD TSARKON]

I switched to Clans via FRee PGI contract break.... and the most I have waited for a game is 1 minute...

no lie...

I have played more CW matches in last few days than last few months since it was released right before Xmas last year...

If Solo Cw means I stay clan... then so be it.... most of my games (guessing) 75 percent have been loses but I have scored over 80 match score Every game so far...

The wait times are what killed CW for me... right now I have no wait times.. .its actually fun... even a solo player like myself

Can you do that even if the group youre with is IS? Cause I wouldnt want top have to drop out of CI just to play clan for an event for two or so days

I was not in a group or unit before... I am mostly a solo player... the only 2 other friends I have that even want to touch this game are either in their own clan(unit) or barely stand the game at all....

.. I do not have the time to actually play in a Unit or clan... plus I actually enjoy solo as much as grouping ( I enjoy chaos).

While it sucks pugging and sometimes getting matches against a 12 man Inner Sphere I understand CW was made for group play. But what I dont understand is why the wait times were horrible.

Luckily I have both Inner Sphere mechs and some Clan mechs (all mastered Timbers and Stormcrows.. purchased with C Bills only and with modules,ect) so when PGI gave away free contract breaks I instantly took advantage of it and I am up to 23 games so far pass few days.

Still sucks for the units though that do not want to drop out... but it did help us SOLO players a LOT....

What PGI should do is have people like me have a MERC tag with 2 drop decks (one for Inner Sphere and Clan Mechs ready to drop) so we can help either SIDE(Inner Sphere or Clan) and make these Que times go down for everyone....

There are too many Inner Sphere teams vs Clans (ratio I believe is 4:1 ?) so SOLO Clan right now is the way to go if you want to enjoy Community warfare without the wait times...

I actually clicked Attack and was in a GAME in SECONDS.... I am not joking around... I did not even see the names of the players... I was just in the game..

By non solos, you mean IS players.
I wish I had the luxury of small waits.

Yah that too; Id have fixed it but Id dropped into a non CW game

[Emperorcleon]

PGI seems not to care if the IS players wait long times to play unsatisfying games. I suggest you try another game or realize this one is prone to errors. Hopefully they decide to make things up to the IS players.

[orcrist86]

I've gotten so intimate with the lfg tool to cut down drop wait time my wife is getting suspicious.

To their credit, they did let us switch to become clannerscum

12 mans dont have issues with time... Is this another subtle "help us not be bad at the game PGI NAOW!" Thread?

Because skill is defined by being in a group or not.

It is? Since when? Oh, you mean when people whine about having an enemy team of organized players beat them,. they only have skill because theyre a team. Right?
SInce his post was about the MM screwing him over, and my response was dont be bad enough that the MM screws you over, and instead be able to compensate by A, B , and C, my point is fairly clear. Why are you ignoring logic for smart*** comments?

You state 12 mans don't have issues with this.
Then you say that because of this he is likely posting because he's bad.
This implies that the sheer existence of a twelve man is that which is the deciding factor in his "being bad at the game."

You said nothing about compensating by A, B, and C. You jumped to the assumption that he was whining about 12 mans and then chastised him, for another assumption that he was bad, for which the only reason cited that he was not in a 12 man.

So no, your point is not fairly clear.

I dropped in 8-12 man groups for IS this weekend. My longest wait time was 10 minutes. Get o your Faction Teamspeak and find a drop group if you want shorter wait times.

Did you ask for the mods to shut your ECM thread down? I rather enjoyed that one.

again, can you do that if youre part of a unit without the unit having to switch too?

No. You cant-- but the option is better than nothing.

Hold a second! Did I miss something? I enjoyed that thread too.

[Vassago Rain]

Why is it okay that switching from IS to clans is a requirement to get drops in?

PGI needs to fix their game, not apply more bandaids. Until they do, I have very little interest in going on their wild ride.
