Anyone else having this issue? i got to use quick play in the pts and it just can never find a match

[Discount Dan]

Same issue, came here to look for it. I guess not many "puggers" play on PTS and that most games are group play with 2 or 4 man groups.

- Same here about 7-9 hours. Seems all who play event just finish it and go to take fun on PTS. If you want - we can duel in private lobby...

Yeah, PTS pops dropped precipitously after the first couple days. This is normal, and unfortunate.

I myself, for example, played very heavily on the PTS for the first two days, then set about working on the event.

[TKSax]

Yep no luck for me, had no issues Friday, took longer on Saturday, and nothing today, it almost like there is an event that is pulling people away from the PTS Server...

BTW there is not match making there is just 1 queue for everyone.

If you have people on your friends that are playing sure.... but mine is empty and there is not way to find other players in game.

[Mister Blastman]

Same. If they were wise they would have put the event on PTS and the rewards on production.

[Cy Mitchell]

Yeah, I did a lot of testing the first couple of days and posted comments. Now, PGI has announced that there will be an update early in the week to correct some bugs and make some changes to the system so I will probably wait until the new build drops to test again. I may try to complete some of the personal goals in the Event or just take a couple days break.

- We all here in that post, why not to combine to a 2 vs 2 team and go to lobby. That what I mean. Especially when we all know whet we want to test. If anyone want - just welcome to PTS.
Or... inside of PTS friend Request wont work?

- Interesting if I send you Friend request in PTS you get it or not? If you can get it - we can go to Private lobby to test builds more close to real battle.

UPD: seems not...

Sorry was writing in forums when you sent invite.

[Gas Guzzler]

Yeah its important to get to the PTS in the first couple of days as population drops off sharply after that.

I've tested all builds that I was concerned about. Then there was a guy dropping in dakka Kodiak 10 games in a row, mowing everyone down. I wonder what was he testing exactly.

- That his dakka unaffected...

[Syanis]

As usual people test a few builds to get an idea of the system and then move back to live. No one wants to really play PTS as their main game.

[LordNothing]

i tried to hop back on the pts today after i completed the personal challenges and its completely dead. it serched for about 45 minutes before i gave up. this is why its a bad idea to put a pts up during an event.

- We still can take all people who want test - make a group and go to quick or private lobby. Best of private lobby is - ability to play on FW maps also, not only quick game and take some maps with different temperature condition (test maps). As I can see, you two want to test - so why don't make a group on PTS and make private battle. You have that ability on PTS as well as quick play.
