I honestly tried to play test server. I was waiting in queue more than 40mins... And no connection.
Something should be done with that, because people really want to help make MWO better but wasting time makes those efforts useless.

Maybe you should encourage people to play it, maybe add some "event", or make 2 -3 groups of players and pay them to cover 24 hours per day if you really want some response from community. It is imposible to get something from people without some exchanges of profit. As slavic proverb : "free cheese is only in mousetrap".
Because as for me, after hours of waiting connection next time i'll think twice whether to play test servers. Time is money not only for pgi, but for players too).

I really wish you luck and appriciate your efforts to make game better.

Helps to do it the right time of day.

I'm playing them now.. anywhere between instant and 15 minute queues.. (which is better than this morning where I couldn't get a game.)

Wait until after the workday.

Ugh... Apparently PSR is in place in matchmaking and I'm pretty much wasting my time on the PTS searching. Seriously, loosen it drastically so we can test stuff at least for T1s.

It takes a while, I just got a game...

US prime time. I was getting matches in less than a minute.

But only if you have the right PSR Score …

I can only repeat the idea of euklides

basically activate LFG and look for or make a group. You can then invite everyone into a pub group and make a private match with these people. And don't worry, just activate/buy premium time so you can launch with less then 24 people.

Worked good today

I agree, the long wait times make it frustrating. I too want to help make this game better but I think the que times will drive a lot of people away. There needs to be some incentives to play on the PST during important test phases. Possibly allow the cbills you earn while on the PST to transfer to your main account after the "event"?

7 matches in ~3,5 hours during EU prime time. Won't be "testing" again.

NA prime time is quite ok, the wait times yesterday were about 5 minutes... 10 at most. So, if you play from EU, try late in the night, but mornings and afternoons the population is very low.

Unfortunately, I was away this weekend. Not able to test anything, so just adding my two cents from what I read. Wish I could have tested the laser changes to make observations.

Maybe a week long test is in order prior to implementation with changes based on feedback.
