Hi guys , wtf is with the group queue ?
I tried to play MWO today with my brother. We tried close two hours but the ******* game not call us in.
We tried different mech combinations med-med,med-heavy, heavy-assault,light-assault etc. etc. .
The pos game only search and search and search but dont call us in.
I bought many mechpacks and heros for me and for my brothers to cuz we loved play together but now we cant.
How can i ask for compensation cuz now im very dissatisfied with MWO?
Where is some smart blue guy who say something?
Cuz when i try play alone the **** game immediatly call me in but in division newer. Im very angry right now, i cant say enough time.

Thanks for the answers , i dont know that PGI altered the matchmaker mechanism.
Still a shame that PGI dont patch this bug imediatly.
Thye lose costumers this way , not to commention the many unnecesary clan nerfs to.
We will see what happen with MWO when MWO5 merc hit the markets.

They didn't change anything. Group Queue has been that like for years. Matchmaker changes apply for single queue only.

The only 'recent' change that was done for Quick Play Group Queue was the change from the 3/3/3/3 weight class spread to a simplified tonnage allocation for the groups 4 years ago:

The tonnage minimum and maximum has changed a few times but I believe it's been at it's current values since 2017?

Anyway, what it means is the combinations of mechs you pick will have no bearing on whether you are going to get a match.

The biggest problem is lack of players in the queue and that it can be split over the three servers.
You have a snowballs chance in hell of finding a game in the OC prime time and perhaps that's when you might have been giving it a go.
Try dropping in the EU or NA prime times or on the weekend for a better chance.

Little unsure if the rules around matching according to the average tier of the group eventually just gives up and looks for any match. It's more likely that there simply are not enough players. Hard to say when there isn't a view into the queue to see actual number of players queuing.

A simpler trick is this, have you and your brother jump into a group, then click the "LFG" thingy which will allow you two to be able to join others looking for a group to join. Then, altogether, when you join a match the bigger groups have an easier time because matchmaker tries to make a group of 12... and "2" players is the lowest priority and the hardest to make a match with, after all how often are 10 players looking? Lots more 4 and 5s getting meshed which need a 3.

Any third person in the group practically triple your chances of getting picked to go into battle.

Its a shame, really, that the game doesn't do small premade groups in the solo queue. They could do something simple like a minor tier elevation of others picked for the battle to compensate.

The Group Queue is still completely ****. All the players whine about balance and stuff, so that 2 friends cant play together in Quickplay. (Ah yeah, dont mention solaris, i dont like any of the modes that are offered there, i want to play with my friends quickplay)

The other point is about balance, i just joined a normal solo quickplay - im Tier3,
and my enemys were 8 ppl from the same clan, 4 from another, even some famous tier 1 players.

so this is fair ?

its not, its complete ********.
just let 2 ppl join quickplay, i dont think 2 ppl change the game, when its "ok" for you that whole clans join 1 team.

We had 8 people in a group looking for more than 1 hour. No luck. Group play is seriously F*ed.
