Past two weeks trying to play MWO with my mate, we have been waiting upwards of 20+ mins per game....why?

Going to guess it was the faction play events going on.

I had 10-15 minute wait times yesterday in a group of three. Eventually I just ran locusts while they ran meds just so we could get some matches in. We tried cptl-k2 lance but after 30minutes we gave up and went lower tonnage. Good to know you can't even bring the mechs you want even when under the tonnage limit for group drops.

We did have one particularly fun match that night. I ran the lct-3s as a dedicated narc-er while they ran lrm meds and heavies. so much fun being the rain-hits-this-one mech on frozen city.

Me and my friend gave up in the end, he was running a mad dog and me in my trolly urbie still couldn't get a game:(

In my experience 2 man groups have the longest wait times of any group, because they're used as fillers in other larger groups to form 12, and there are a lot of 2 mans, and each game will only require like 1-2 "2 man filler" groups to make 2 complete 12 mans. So you sit and wait a long time.

Population is way down, and the downward spiral seems to be pushing more and more away. Can't comment on the group queue waits, nobody in my unit is playing anymore!

[Tranderas]

Concurrent players have dropped ~80% this year, mostly since April, so queue times everywhere are long. The discord I'm on went from "FP every night starting at 6 pm est and having a waitlist to join the main group til about midnight" to "maybe 3 people are playing on a weekend, if there's an event."

Off-peak times there's 500 people total playing. You're gonna have long queues.

Mostly because you are in a 2 man by the sounds of it. And maybe off peak time zone. Regularly spend 10min waits with a 2 man myself. 4 mans is where it starts to shorten a lot. 2-5mins instead of 10+

Yeah, been having issues getting a match in a 2-man myself.. Fiance got fed up and quit for the night yesterday.. Very frustrating..

I got a solo match instantly..

Group queue doesn't take your tonnage into account.


I've seen matches with 9+ assault mechs between the two teams.


You can all drop in locusts in group queue and wait just as along as 3 guys in 75 tonners.
