Would be nice to see the amount of or % of player on either side BEFORE selecting a faction to run with.

It would be nifty if the matchmaker would be aware of this imbalance and notifies a group lead or some pugs to switch sides if they want to.
Maybe add 1 more minute to prepare the correct drop deck and off you go.

PGI, I am happy to report that your EXIT QUEUE button worked successfully.



Can I have some some more of those Faction Play Games I have heard used to happen?

[Wing 0]

Its happened again PGI. 1 lopsided queue because of the idiocy you made us take now... Good job morons.

The player base is smaller than what it was a year ago. The same as the year before that. Each hemmorhage of players is normally preceded by a game breaking design with slow response time, sometimes to the point that they give up. Take switchable ammo for LBX.

It is what it is. Although I'd love to be optimistic about anything PGI does, I've learned my lesson the hard way. Actions, not words. I've yet to see anything positive with this change. Those that own IS or Clan exclusively are cut out of about half the matches, that limits the pool of available players from an already dwindling population. Those that don't join groups get to watch their side fill, then dump...rinse, lather repeat...for 30-45 minutes to get dropped against a 12 man. That isn't exactly a draw to the whole game mode. I'm not the one that made these decisions. Way I read it, nobody but PGI did. They evidently ignored everything they were told during the PTS and did whatever they wanted yet again.

It's hard to be optimistic about an identifiable pattern of poor decisions.

If only you could make, I dunno, an indicator showing offline/online faction population so that people can make an informed decision on what faction they should join.

How would you separate the people in a faction that are playing quickplay or solaris?

You don't. You also don't need to.
Last time you seen someone be like
"man i totally gonna pick a faction first before playing quickplay/solaris" ?
You're hard pressed to even find someone with a faction tag in quickplay.
You're even more hard pressed to find someone in solaris at all.

People came back just for the update paul put out then they quit again because it didn't even matter. Little to nothing was added. We have people sitting in our team speak who havn't played in years willing to come back if there was a good update.


The player base is small because pgi hasn't added any depth to the game in years. They never added any depth to cw even from beta. Now people want CW quick play where sides don't matter.

Solution is easy. You don't pick a faction at all. You join a fight, are shown which factions are fighting and the numbers on each side, THEN you get to choose which side you want to fight for.
