Its 8:25pm EST have 4 people in my group and have been waiting like 10-15 minutes between drops ... this isn't worth it. I knew we were having population problems, hell i stopped playing for a while but didn't think the game was this dead.

Hmm server still running? Mwo still working for loging in and doing stuff? Must not be dead enough then. Also try drooping tonnage as it helps find matches faster. A lance of four heavies will have to wait longer for a game than a mixed weight lance. Or just private match each other now that it's free.

Four people? If GQ is taking too long then just do Scouting.

That's what its come to ? You can't actually choose what to play, gotta take what you can get.

It's pretty much dead except at certain hours now, last night played a little, out of 3- 10 minute waits only got 1 match, decided it was time to call it a night.

It doesn't "feel" good right now.

When the queue is slow, yes, there is another option. The important thing is socializing with your friends while playing the game.

Let's face it. GQ is not a popular mode and never will be.

PGI has to do something drastic to boost GQ population, perhaps by allowing solos who wish to play in organized setting to fill the groups.

If the group queue was that slow at 830pm eastern we have serious issues. A few months ago that was a 1 minute wait, because thats when my friends and I get on, and weve never had to wait more than 2 minutes for a match.

We dropped in GQ from @ 9-12pm EST with very little wait times. Never over a minute. If you are waiting more than a couple of mins. cancel and try again.

trying to play group que with my buddies can take upwards of 15 minutes for a match, it's between 2 and 6 of us in a squad at any time and playing on +10gmt puts us in a trashy spot for server pop. I get why group que is separate from solo que; but that fact that we must drop to solo que and all que stack on oceanic to play together in inane and stupid.

Ive been playing for almost 3 years I've never waited that long in group queue. Haven't played in weeks finally worked myself up to play dropped 4 matches and left. Spent more time waiting than playing. Socializing did help to keep me on that long or i would have left after 3 minutes.
