MWO is supposed to be a Group game

i take my 8-10 men premade

i hit play (ALL SERVERS, ALL MODES)

20-30 minutes in searching to find a match that will end in 12-0 for us in 2 minutes, earning 80 k c bills each.

thus we disbanded the Group and we are ging solo.

PGI: cause you totally know what you are doing.

edit, i am goin solo now and i am in searching till 20 minutes, my friends in ts found a game twice in meanwile........i am using all servers, all modes ad a mechs with lower % on MM
i stayed online for 1 hour, iplayed 2 matches of 3 minutes each.....so 6 mins of playing and 54 mins of searching.

if this is what Steam players will see wen they will come in...............GG,MWO will be destroyed.


PRIORITY IS MAKE YOU PLAY, THAN BALANCE THE GROUPS

SET PRIORITY THAT EVERYONE MUST LAUNCH IN 3 MINS OF SEARCHING.

I have increased search times too, but as an oceanic player I put that down to less people playing on that server.

Took us an hour. Tried different mech combos and leaders. Watched KFC stream get 6 matches to our 1. Same reason our unit dont CW, now looks like we arent going to able to reg que either.

I stopped doing two man drops a couple of months ago. Not only were the wait times getting ridiculous, but I was pretty tired of constantly being stomped by larger groups with better coordination/comms. I find that, perhaps contrary to PGI's intentions, I have a VASTLY better time dropping by myself. Matches are usually more fun and wait times are much lower, though lately they've been increasing in the solo queue too. Maybe with the new match maker thing my lance mate and I won't get routinely crushed, but then again, maybe not. And I fear the wait times...

[EasyPickings]

IMHO, these longer wait times will kill group play altogether. Most of us are there to actually play, not sit in a queue chatting/surfing/drinking/eating/checking stats/etc. while we wait for a match.

[Trance Master]

I think, the ELO should be just taken out completely of the game...this would significantly improve the waiting times...and let 12 men only drop vs. 12 -10 men

[gloowa]

10 man that's being rolled under 2 minutes? nice...

Pgi should just force 4 man groups again.

As posted elsewhere, I had similar wait times in the group queue. I hope they remove the PSR/ELO thing completely from the group queue and just give us whatever match it can put together as quikly as possible.

It seems if you play with good players in a group you get punished by 10-20 minutes waits.

[Better Call Saul]

Unacceptable wait times.
