Wow, what is up with these insane wait times. Its not like there is a dearth of players.

Play a different weight class (other than Assault). I guess the only exception is if you WANT to run an Assault... in that case... enjoy the wait!

You need to select more than 1 region ideally to have a shot at getting a match (especially if you're naturally in the Oceanic region).

Game is on its last legs. What do you expect?

Thanks for the replies, but what I don't understand is why are there long wait times if you choose an assault. As long as tonnage restrictions are not violated 12 assaults can fight 12 assaults so there should be no significant increase in wait times.

There's probably some odd attempt to fit in a Light, Medium, or Heavy, so it literally isn't 12v12 Assaults only.

There's also "PSR" that is being considered as well (not that it works properly though).

I believe according to Russ Tweets during events there are still limits on how many of each weight class can be in a group. In the past he has stated the loosened up the class restrictions to let more of a certain weight class in.

^ This. Although the weight restrictions were loosened up a bit, there is still restriction. If you want faster matches, then don't play Assault.

Mud, while I welcome the diversion of your posts again, you have turned into such a Negative Nancy.

Where's your fighting spirit? Your willingness to tackle posts with gusto?

You sound defeated. Bring back the "warrior" to your nick.

Begging the question - providing what is essentially the conclusion of the argument as a premise. You are assuming your conclusion without presenting any facts to support your case.

Instead, you are:

Appealing to spite – a specific type of appeal to emotion where an argument is made through exploiting people's bitterness or spite towards an opposing party...in this case PGI.

Being a realist. PGI has been bleeding players like a sieve. Past the zombie white knights most every class of player is dissatisfied. PGI's response is to circle the wagons and introduce new money grubbing features to milk the last of it.
I actually wish i was wrong because a part of me fell in love with the game but being practical and looking forward its obvious where this is heading. Russ has driven his fantasy of e-spurts behind every decision and the blame lays squarely on him and yet even with declining numbers he holds on. December 3rd will be the last of it but honestly I will be surprised it gets that far. Those in the tourney are pretty disillusioned too. I read the threads related. They took this great concept of a niche game and beat it to death with pie in the sky ideas.

Once the grinder runs out of meat it stops. That's it in a nutshell
