the weekend being over and a lot of players

have probably completed the challenge so wait times are getting longer

what's your view on this

[Ductus Hase]

I had mostly short waittingtimes and no Ghost Drops today.

Same here.

Clan side's been great too. Maybe it's just your timezone?

Was actually fine last night oceanic TZ, surprised me, got a couple of matches in, must remember to bring my salad tossing tongs next time though.

[Davegt27]

I only played two matches today
so I gave up and went back to QP

If you weren't dropping in a 12 man, you could have been getting queue-jumped by big teams. Which makes your waiting much longer. If you want to see how many games are going on. Count the completed games in the war log over a 25-30 min span. That will tell you more about activity than waiting times do (again if you are not in a 10-12 man)

[Leone]

Fair point, I was in a large group.

Queue times have been fine for me dropping solo. N.America prime time has usually been less then a minute and late night Asia has been around one to five minutes.

I expect the queue to remain reasonably healthy until this event ends and the QP leader board for the new mechs starts.

Band wagon is fully loaded so queue times for IS side can be pretty bad. Clan queue times have been instant, but you won't see any big unit names on the blue side of the scoreboard.

Other than Kcom and MS....wait......

I've seen MS12 on IS side, like a lot. 420m also. 228h(from both teams), plenty of decent well moving groups.
Of course pugging Evil and AWOL.
last matches were pretty much only clan pugs against big premades. with obvious results.
Last time I've played against IS pugs I was with a big premade....(irony of a current MM in FW).
Apparently clan pugs have to wait for the US prime times.

Tater play has been iffy. I'm betting they've got their matchmaker ( shuffler, whatever it is that throws teams together) set to prioritize groups. Can't blame them. People that put enough effort into actually joining a team deserve to be front loaded.

I'll tell you one thing, for certain. This is another well thought out and efficiently implemented event from the guys that brought you Ghost Heat. It's pretty messy down here.

Ugh, CW/FW/FP has always prioritized groups over solo's when it comes to making matches.

Fair enough. I'm guessing more IS pugs are grouping than Clan, then.

[Tavious Grimm]

Drop times have varied, I've done both the solo Q and the group q. Been a fairly good last couple of days overall.
