Sad Times

Of course, there have always been long waits to get into a Faction Play match, but this is the first time I've ever been part of a group that couldn't get a Quick Play match. I'm curious to know if others are running into similar occurrences?
As a side note, I'm hoping this question doesn't kick of another "let's bash PGI" thread (although I fully expect it will). There is way more than enough of that all over the other topics in the queue. I'm just genuinely trying to get a read on what others are seeing when trying to get matches, in a game I'm hoping to be able to play for a while longer.
Thanks all,
Chilly

But as others have said, FP is where the party's at.

I want a time machine so I can take this thread back to 2016 and say that literally QP group population is gone because they're all playing FW.
CW Season 2.

Biggest problem for me, to be honest. I started playing more lately, and I have two friends who wanted to play something F2P online as a team, but it's either 10-20 m wait time for FP that isn't exactly newbs-friendly, or no access to QP at all. I miss the times when you could just make a group with your 1 or 2 friends, and enjoy casual QP

The day PGI allows group making to go ruin casual fun in QP too, is the day MWO commits suicide.
You want to go farm some solo players into uninstalling MWO with a 10+ player group ? Go do it in Faction Play like everyone else does, because QP is protected against you losers.

BTW, I thought you were an expert? You sure do often advise people to fight 900 meters from where you plan to be.

The 10+ ppl megagroups have no place in QP, yes. But 2 or 3 ppl groups, thrown together with pugs won't do much difference, except letting people to play with friends casually. Not to mention that you can additionally balance the matchmaker by making it drop small group + pugs team against other small group + pug team, if it's possible. But even without this, 2 or 3 people teams won't introduce enough difference to make them farm solo players like 10+ premades in FP do.

As a founder I'm sad to see this game dying, but its been a fair few years, its inevitable.

Unfortunately past experience has shown that even a single group of 3 players can repeatedly decide the outcome of a match : That's how powerful the group mechanic is in MWO, probably due to how basic the Tier system is.

It may also have something to do with MWO being down last night, at least for some of us. I couldn't get server connection from about 2pm(Pacific time) until the last time I tried at 10pm.
