PGI, please integrate quick play and group play in a similar fashion to Faction Play. Allow a notice to appear that groups are trying to drop and how many spots are left to fill the queue.This way we can find a way for groups to fill out and get to playing. I want to keep playing MWO until they shudder and lock the doors, as this is STILL a very fun game. Pretty please?

People have suggested PGI to allow people to select GQ and SQ, similar to selecting servers, so that a few slots in GQ can be filled with a small number of solos. Nothing's been done about this.

With MWO being on minimal life support I say that won't happen.

PGI is on MW:% and MWO is left to root

Even a check box allowing groups to request QP people of any tier would help.

No, thank you. If I wanted to be 12 man Seal Clubbed I would play Faction Play or Group Play in the first place. Please quit requesting that PGI force most of the players to play a mode you want to play, when they clearly are not choosing that.

It's a feature that has been requested for years. Why would PGI suddenly make such a change now?

Also, it's "shutter". Posted Image

I would say that an Annihilator's armor would last longer with only 8 focus fired attacks as opposed to 12. Would this make the heavily armored mechs OP and require an armor balance pass? Hmmmm something to think about :)

Game is almost dead I understand.We had to quit game early last night because we couldn't find a match.Saying this, I don't want pug Q players in my group Q games. No thanks. I would let the mode die before this happens.

For the same reasons every other single time this thread comes up...

Groups in SoloQ are extremely overpowered.

So - NO.


What needs to happen is an option to let SOLO into GroupQ. That is the only way it could work, been posted about many times. Nothing from PGI on it.

Well I know there are still new players coming to MWO. In fact in the lowest tier I have met 4 in two days and others who are coming back from several years absence. This game is still being played daily and imo still has life. Nay say if you want but I am still asking for an option to opt in to a group for quick play.

The tier system currently keeps new players from seeing what MWO can be. The disparaging chasm of exposure from tier 5 and 1 is misleading and detrimental to new players. I play at both and I know. The low salt tier 5 players enjoy the game in a way tier 1 players have forgotten, again imo.

Nothing to say against this option. But it needs programmers work and will never happen because of this.
