So we have an Event going on and i can not get into a group que at all. My brother and I got into 1 match in the past 3 hours in single que and it placed us on different teams. Thats fine, was fun fighting my brother lol. But in that full 3 hours, any time we tried jumping into a game as a group... nothing... searching, searching, searching. PGI, your game is dying. You need to fix this!!

I understand the rage is all MW5 Mercs right now, but your first born is on life support lol.

group play and faction play are what you que up for when you have something to do, like paint your living room - by the time its starting to dry you might have a match!

QP , premades and by sheer virtue of only needing to stick 2-4 people together, solaris are the only ways to really get a 'quick' match going.

Why not just drop faction? That mode unlike group will take any combination of twelve. It also shows queue population data.

Also an event going on doesn't mean group will be more populated, it means it will be less populated as it is more efficient to complete the various challenges in solo.

Faction is also dead at the moment, because it's quicker to earn loot bags in QP.

I like Solaris, but I have issues with making it work on my system for some reason. At some point I'll reinstall, but...

A game with ZERO advertising for itself anywhere can't grow a playerbase back.

For me its the random server conection loss. Had a a few months without random dc then suddenly it reappears like the ghost of christmas past.

Lrms wouldnt be a problem if scrubs didnt complain about them being weak, which they are not

Keep saying they need to test out letting 2s in solo. It would make it easier to introduce friends into the game.

Event that's more efficient to do solo.

Work.

Spending time with family for the holidays.

Vacation.

Playing other games.

Playing in the snow.

Skiing/Snowboarding.

Hanging out with friends.

But "where is everyone?!"

I dunno man, couldn't tell ya.

(100% agree we should've had 2s in solo after they no longer allowed groups, sync drop or not it adds flavor to matches)
