Solo queue seems to be working fine, with acceptable search times (up to 5 minutes)
Group queue during EU afternoon however is not playable.

Yesterday a buddy and me queued as a two men team. we had several 10+ minute searches (everything enabled, all servers all gamemodes) with one search topping at 19 minutes. This afternoon I had 3 searchtimes go over the 10 minute mark with a 4 men group.

Overall the matches seem better (somewhat) but please install some release valves after 2-3 minutes of searching.

Around 11AM-12 PM CET the queue gets unbearable until the queue starts filling later in the afternoon and as the US players come online. Perhaps the developers should think about activating "pressure release valves" during these times.

As Bunny said this problem was not present before and matches could still be found in maximum 5 minutes. Since those times are also Oceanic prime time, they also suffer from this. I've seen some oceanic players give up the search after 20 minutes and decide to sync drop in the solo queue instead.

Agree with this being in Oceanic timezone wait times over 20 minutes in group queue. Please look into this.

Currently hardly anybody from the usual groups is in groups.

So dont please consider the problem solved because we stopped grouping up ...

Now now, maybe just ask for refunds on CLAN II-C packs. I'm not going to play MWO if I have to wait 10 minutes plus for a game.

if you release valves, then matches will again get worse, further the lower end people getting into the matches will start to leave grp queue again, which in the end will make you return to the same situation after a few days, as you have now.

Maybe something to do with new tier system ???????
Not enough players of same lvl online so you have to wait till they come avaible.
Same problem when the elo system started,later on they had to change it to let people in the que with lower ratings to find a match.

One of the problems is also that MM allows groups of 2-12 to the queue making it hard for the MM to make a match from very different group sizes. Added with solos prevented to fill gaps this becomes a mission impossible for T1 especially with 3 servers. I'm not too fond of the idea releasing the MM that much cus it will ruin the fun for lower tier players but don't want to play always solo either.

I'd just revert back to groups of four.
