.... 4 of us have been sitting, trying to join as a group for over 15 minutes now. They want to uninstall again and screw the free premium time. Doing my best to keep them entertained in discord.

Not cool

there is no more group que, people stopped playing it, you might find some drops friday night US time, in like 5 hours or so, but most of the time if you want to play in a group your only option is faction play

If you want to drop as a group you have four options. The easiest is to play Faction Warfare. Next up, sync drop into quick play. Third, you could organize a private lobby amongst yourselves. Last, you could get involved in competitive play.

Group Q has been dead for ages, it's not worth trying to find matches there. There's just no population over there.

Everyone logged off. They're playing Destiny and CSGO now. It was impossible to get a group match no matter how long we waited for a reasonable time. R.I.P. MWO

Right, GroupQ is literally dead. You could wait there for days. See my post above if you want to try other ways to drop.

You got 3 responses saying that GQ is dead and you were still searching for GQ instead of going to FW? I understand if your friends were new to the game but it didn't seem like from your response.

Dafuq are you and your high horse?

It would have been childish to give up right away. After an hour of not being able to queue up for a group match we quit. Solo matches came quick, but grouping was impossible.

Really? I triggered your "high horse" response? Dude, people told you three times that GQ is dead. I just pointed that out. You hoping against hope is the childish bit. Try FW. It's good. Besides, you get better rewards and are able to bring 4 mechs based on the map. That beats GQ any day.

Maybe remove the option to create a QP group really, it's misleading.

Perhaps PGI still hopes in the Group Queue revival.

It's childish to listen to advice when you're told exactly why you're experiencing a problem, and then the solution to said problem?

So if someone tells you that you're using that knife wrong, you gonna keep doing it til you lose a finger, or...?

You learning to drive must have been a real treat for people around you.

Groups are dead. Play Faction Play, or Sync Drop.

Simple as that.

No, he had it right the first time. Sync dropping is a perfectly acceptable option. PGI has allowed it for years, and now that GQ is dead it has become even more the norm for the casual groups that don't care for faction play.
