You have 4 choices as a smoke jaguar:

1.Wait 20 minutes to get owned by a MS 12 man.
2.Wait 20 minutes to get owned by a NS 12 man.
3.Wait 20 minutes to get owned by some steiner 12 man.
4.Wait 2 hours to try and invade a kurita planet.

Dropping with 8 men last night. Instant matches every time in clan fronts.

[Der Hesse]

My experience as solo kurita player:

1. Wait to get an invasion match against smoke jaguar.
2. Give up after 1 hour + and grab something to eat.
3. Wait 20 minutes to get a scoutmission against smoke jaguar to get smashed by 4 crows for close to zero rewards.
4. Wait to get an invasion match against smoke jaguar.
5 Give up after 1 hour + and grab something to drink.
6. Wait 20 minutes to get a scoutmission against smoke jaguar to get smashed by 4 crows for close to zero rewards.
7. Wait to get an invasion match against smoke jaguar.
8. Give up after 1 hour + and decide to play 7 days to die and regret to have over one year of premium time running.

My suggestion: go to solo queue and we hopefully can fight each other. ^^

I'm having no problems right now getting scouting matches.
Invasion is empty, but it's not prime time at all.

You need to bring 4 streak crows, not only 2.

as solo loyalist ive been getting fairly regular scout matches provided its not the oceanic phase (aka the dead zone). the rewards there are meager, even from a totally awesome stomp game where we butchered them. they are nowhere near what an invasion game nets you, even on a loss. the game mode is fun if you overlook the (hopefully temporary) bugs.

i have only managed to play one invasion since the patch, and that game was awesome. the fear of 12 mans is gone and people go into battle looking to win instead of ready to swallow the bitter taste of defeat before their mechfeet even hit the deck. but deep down inside im actually starting to miss the ms stomps. fighting pugs slows the reflexes. maybe it would be better if pugs actually did invasion more. i am so one man unit when i get my r6 mechbay,

been doing scouting all day yeserday, and its been fun, 150k for a good performance, average being probably 90k probably more if you have a good team set up id say thats ok for a 5 min game mode with 5 min waiting time for game. its there mainly to train small groups up to play together. until they completly remake the main part of Cw and get most of the community involved there it is gonna be Cleaning warfare, because you gonna get alot of house work done while waiting.

My experience with scouting is that the c-bill rewards are OK -- about the same as a quick-play match, which seems right considering how short the games are. The LP rewards really are meager though. I don't know how high the LP rewards "should" properly be though, I guess that's a broader discussion about how valuable scouting is in general.

I am not sure how the split queues are effecting this. If at all?

[Paigan]

My FP experience yesterday in about 10 scouting solo queue matches:

1.) Drop with an SCR, 1-2 other SCR and some ECM against freeborn scum
2.) Win 4-0 or 4-1 everytime (except for one shameful 2-4)
3.) Rinse & repeat

This is why I stopped playing community warfare. Glad to know nothing has changed with the patch. I only get an hour to play per day tops. It's more fun to play 4 or 5 quick play matches than to sit around waiting to maybe play one cw match.

[Ghogiel]

The large merc units will probably come back to CSJ eventually and carry you to some wins.

Looking at an alt, there aren't many players untagged in CW.

right now across the 1 attack and 2 def missions I see, there is 1drop being played in them combined. So like 24 players duking it out on one square on one planet. Everywhere else is dead. Seeing attacks from the 2 largest factions and seeing 12 players in there from them is pretty meagre me thinks.

Incomparison there is getting onto close to 10x as many unit player in the queue at the time.

Likely solo queue isn't affecting group queue very much, except it is not feeding attacking unit players as many scrubs who queue up for def. Unless some big pop spurt happens it isn't likely to affect planet outcomes either.

I'm surprised that this new phase of CW wasn't totally flawless upon release.

[Karamarka]

Split queue is so bad for solo players.

Now instead of playing games and may win or lose. You don't get games at all.

Scout is ok, but the LP is terri-bad.
