I've not played MWO for probably over a year now, along with a couple of buddies and we decided that we would have a go again, as we used to really enjoy it (mainly playing random games as the faction warfare thing had only just started working).
Well what can I say but wow, a lot has changed, (apart from the Clan > IS 'debate' on here) new mechs, equipment, a skill system and various games types. All of these are great additions IMHO, although that escort mission sucks!
However what the hell has happened to match making ? Solo I'm fine and can get in a game reasonably quickly (WoT speeds) but if 2 or 3 of us are playing together, well we might get in a couple of games and then that's it, we end up with the 'Matching' screen but never join a game. We've tried changing leaders, which occasionally works for about 2-3 games but then back to 'Matching Limbo', we've also tried dropping as all lights, a mix of weights and Clan/IS chassis but nothing seams to make a difference.
Can anyone here offer any advice or shed some light on what to do to remedy this please ?

Ah, well yes that sounds like it could be the case, thank you. Yes we are trying Quick Play, we'll give it another go tomorrow then, just to be sure.
Thanks again.

If you get tired of waiting for matches you can make your own. Private matches are free now no real money or mc needed. You can do very crazy fun things there you'd never get to do in a normal match. All ac 20 raven 4xs for an idea.

How do I go about setting up a private match, AC20 Raven sounds fun !

Yes, the waiting times to get into a match with one or 2 buddies are like forever and you can't do anything about it sadly.
