Europe queue takes forever, daytime and evening. The only way to play is to ticking N.American servers and HOPE to find a match. In the last few days I've managed to play 4 battles? !
How I'm expected to level up my skill tree and earn cbills without playing? At least add some missions with bots to earn XP with.

There is currently a FP event running which attracts alot of Solo Q players, but also without FP event I would always toggle on NA Servers as a european too. Also without event you can have sometimes very long wait times on european servers.

Just a hint:
You may want to try FP mode where you can get some nice rewards (MC/Cbills), but beware, the skill level there is higher than in Solo Q, so expect strong players.

In Europe are Holidays.
Sun and more...
So many peoples chill on Lakes and Sea. (Bikini Time )
And many Players in Europe arnt young, so the go out with her family and friends by good weather and dont want do play 24/7 MWO.
And its Barbecue Session.

Wait for Autumn and Winter so they will come back in game.

I played my first games in a while yesterday evening CET. First 2 drops was on the American server but they were so full of lurms and stale game play that I swithched to European server only. Did 5-6 drops there and I´m pretty sure I got a drop within a minute in all of them.

Well, it does also depends at which time you are playing.
I wouldn't expect insta-drops in this game around at noon (CEST), because most players have a job and have to work at this time, or they are on vacation and doing something better than playing MWO.

Usually it does get better from 16:00 (CEST) and onwards, but still I would suggest to keep NA servers toggled on too for faster drops...

I'm in NA, always select all the region boxes and never wait terribly long. I play on non-peak times here but that equals like 2:00-7:00pm or so GMT, and majority are on European server.

So tick the N/A server?

Problem solved, instantly.

Don't you have access to air conditioning?

.....UK, I don't have time for a day trip to the coast, and there is normally no reason for us to install air con in our homes.

We were woefully unprepared for this heatwave.

Try to keep cool and safe as best you can, then.

its definately not long and hot enough overall of the year to justify installing an air condition into our homes. Some years its not even really hot.

Of course I would if I wanted to, but I'm also paying about .30 US$ per kWh in Germany

Also what Lily said, some summers are locked to rainy days and not uber hot at all
It's not something you can count on, all hangs considered having a fireplace is a way better investment

Now having a good quality fan did pay off this summer though

Yeah, it's peak holiday season in Europe. Everyone's busy catching rays in the Mediterranean. And blocking the autobahns in their mobile homes.
