you're suggesting solos should get priority in FP que over groups, that idea is terrible, you clearly hate FP and are always arguing to hurt the mode and anyone that groups up in general

I'm sorry nobody wants to play with you, so go to qp and farm poor baby seal tier 5s who can't fight back and just stare you down and sometimes just manage to run around in circles, and get farmed by 4mans, if you argued so hard against bringing 4mans to qp, maybe you could be just farming solo tier 5s as that's all you want to do and are capable of

Sorry to inform you but some soloes go for that CW thing FYI

Just like some groups like hunting soloes in solo/soup queue

Solo aka Soup queue was for SOLO players , so whats your point

If their are 24 Soloes, 12 on each side ready to go and create a match, then YES!

I didn't read the rest of your sheet post

I will type were it does the most guid, anywhere it does the most guid
Your not my manager seal clubber

Solo players can help CW grow
Seal clubbers do the opposite as history has proven

So, what was your point again
Just another sheet post that contributed nothing

I'm really conflicted on this. On one end I get that solo players have a really hard time getting into FP drops. On the other this initially came to be because everyone was complaining that groups were often fighting solos, under the current system group vs group drops happen more often, and the matchmaker itself encourages people to group up, which should be the way for FP, but it essentially happens at the expense of not letting solo players in. So I don't know.

I'd rather see the ability to be a real mercenary player, so the MM would just automatically throw you/your group to whatever side requires players to make a drop


This seems correct.

There are so many possible solutions, if PGI would put some thought into it.

Mercs could set up a default IS dropdeck and a default clan dropdeck, before entering the queue. Then they could enter the queue, & drop on whichever side needs more players. This could greatly reduce the wait times for everyone in FP.

I played comp like 4 years ago, when there were a shitload of comp teams, and the competition was way harder than it is now. Does that give me the authority to say how comp should be played today? F no.

You're the seal clubber who only wants to farm solos. Your sheet posts contribute nothing, literally all they all amount to is "groups bad, lets screw over anyone that groups up, so I can farm solo tier 5s", that is all you ever say

I doubt the sincerity of all responses coming from you, What you speak of is not even on topic

A big derail, which is good for you and your alt account buddies

Stops things being discussed




Unlike comp which is screened, and even player run comps have divisions so a form of matchmaking, am I right

CW is unscreened open competion, where any and all players from T5 to T1 World champs can be in the same game

So its a big difference from what you are talking about, did you even think it through.

I doubt it




So since you seal clubbers have done such a sterling job nearly killing your own queue, your alternate facts and deflections mean little

So let some one competent fix your near dieing queue
Simple

Have match maker do this:

If two 12 mans form a match
else
if 24 soloes form a match
else
make game of mixed groups and soloes

This way which ever player demographic is more viable will get priority

Not as it is now where only groups get priority

Plus no separate queue required


TLDR: Current game maker favors groups, my way favors whats viable.

If groups in CW viable, nothing to worry about sealclubbers
You won't even notice the solo only games while your playing other seal clubbers...WIN WIN!
Obstructing this is just mean spirited

...nvm forgot seal clubber CW etc

I know that solos go CW, but that doesn't change the fact as CW is meant to be a gamemode for groups. I can see that groups make your soloexperience bad but what you are doing here is a witchhunt on group players based on subhective experiences... your suggestions are just wishes for the game to be to your liking. Like a child throwing itself on the floor and crying bc mommy doesn't buy its favorite candy.

I am a soloplayer myself and I hate soupqueue. But you need to stop blaming the group players for your inability to play the game. Blame the developers for those ideas because they are to blame. As long as you keep going like that you will get the answers you don't want to hear.

In soup queue even a World champion is only as good as his meatshields
Some time they not very good and get beaten
Does the same thing happen in CW,

Balance

Maybe why even soup queue is more viable than CW and many soloes hate soup queue

You dont play and havent played in a long time so how can you possibly know the actual state of play? Magic assumption drinks?
Also I am a regular FP solo player.And in NOWAY am I good enough to club any seal.Baby fur seal cubs beat my *** and take my shoes.

All you did was tell others they are wrong and indoctrinated because they disagree with you. Most players that actually play FP disagree with you. Get over it.

Back on topic. Having thought about it, I actually wouldn't be against reserving a few spots for solos. That is limit group size to 8-10. I mean really theres 3 units left that actually ever drop a 12man, and 2 twitch streamer groups which arent real 12 mans, but a collection of solo players of wildly varying skill that don't really play as a 12man most of the time even when grouped. But on the flip side those that really want to 12man will be able to sync drop pretty effectively, so I dunno how much this will accomplish really
