It is because you are a solo player in a group competitive Q,
required to be in a team to get a priority for a game,
so your priority to drop in here is at the bottom.

Find a damn team.

whats the point if people in teams dont have any pugs to shoot?

[Uakari]

That sucks, you should get a match no matter if team or solo player. Prioritizing ok, but sitting in the queue forever? I dont always join a team if I want to play 1 or 2 matches.
Seems to me FP has that insane waiting time like Solaris now.

It is a team mode.
1,3,5 matches is not of pgi concern .

Team up and you will get some games..
i am also waiting as a pug for 30mins

Actually glad they did this.

[Nesutizale]

How about solo teams? When you got enough pugs just put them together
Yes they will most likely be killed like flies but it reduces waiting times.

We attempted to drop a group of 4 into FW yesterday, took us 30 minutes to get a game as we kept getting passed in the queue. Dropping a 12 man is ridiculously boring roflstomps

There is no pug out there interested in MWO... a bit..
that will no be there to drop with you judging by the logon below your name.

How about getting 8 other pugs in a 12 man and drop with them ?

Yeah, but the effort to add 8 random pugs to the group isn't worth it. Might as well just go back to playing group queue in prime time.

At that point you basically are just dropping a 4man plus randoms. Why not just have the game not give big groups priority so we can have the MM give the 8 randoms? I understand the mode is designed for groups but maybe allowing a group of any size is good enough. The jumping the queue part might not be needed.

[Teonas]

...or at least let the MM give people waiting in the queue in (a) smaller group(s) "priority" if there is no large group on the opposing side (especially in the case that there is only one match possible, the MM is not terribly busy in that situation). If 12v12 is possible, of course prioritize that.

[Davegt27]

what is PGI's definition of a group ??

what is PGI's definition of a solo player ??

Yes man, i agree with you .
It is a lot of effort especially if you just want to drop few times and have a beer while doing it,
however in the end of the day you maybe be a reason that good amount of pugs turn in to regulars in CW.

The intelligent solution: The best players should stop to be all in the same group. They should spread on both sides so we have at least balanced premade teams. That would lead to challenging fights, instead of boring farming.

I do like this point.
Been thinking for some years now that many of the good players
should split from their current units and try to create own ones and train new players.
I did try something similar and i failed at this and i do blame my lack of inteligence for it.

However there are tons of cappable people still playing that are able to pull this off.
That is why i need to give my props now to that annoying, ashy Crocodile Dundee look a like for putting the effort.

I am waiting in FW Queue at the moment: One side 22 pilots - other side 8.

When I see that i change to my other account, on the side with fewer people.
The problem is not enough people do that. (and all better FW pilots have multiple accounts, so they could do it)

I would say the problem is that we have had times where multiple accounts are needed. Be better if that hadn't been the case and players could always just switch.

[OldSchoolCav]

I am not in favor of breaking up teams or units. Let people play with their friends. There are plenty of noob friendly units out these (shameless MS plug). Hop on discord or TS (most are linked in the recruitment forums) and many will be happy to drop with someone on comms. The issue is the lack of players - when the queue cycles from 14/5 to 26/17 the little guys don’t get drops. If you penalize groups the population will only drop further.

The point of my post was for people to group
so more players get to play the game mode .

So , what should we do to attract pugs in to groups / units
train them so they and we have more games and further more
better games ?

if anybody has something to propose , please do,,
however please dont mentioned pgi .
They didnt even bother to shave few invisable walls
around the guns ever since CW dropped and that is some years now.

Delete your original post and make a new one inviting people to your unit. Talk about how you'd love to teach them the ropes and get them involved in FP. Invite them to your Discord server. Try not to trash talk them in said post. Then when people join you can teach them the ropes and drop with them.
