[feeWAIVER]

Agreed. Boycott Quick play.
It's Factionplay and Event Queue only guys let's do it!

When the active playerbase is fewer than the amount of chicken nuggests an american child inhales in a day, match maker tends to suffer making balanced teams. Especially if people are grouped up.

[Saved By The Bell]

NO.

8 vs 8 was elite hardcore mode.

Now is so FUN.

Atlas doing 1 damage...

Bad shooting.

Strange movements.

Kind and polite guys...

[MarsThunder]

Matchmaker have gone absolutely crazy.
First team has 1 assault, second - 5. Several such games for last 2 days.

[Bassault]

It is absolutely bonkers, the people I'm being put up against probably aren't having a lot of fun at all.

[Corvus Antaka]

problem is when a lot of people return, and play in groups, it takes a while to set their tiers.

Ready for 15 minute+ que times?

I think it's fine as is, and psr is not broken either.

lol im not logging in so are you ready for 15 minute wait times cause its only going to get worse as more and more players walk away

Personally I've still been having a lot of fun with it. Though it seems like the light mechs got one hell of a mobility boost with all the spare skill points to toss all over.

Gonna test that with my arctic cheetah later, see how it handles now with the new skills and the adjustments I can do.

But yeah, matchmaking has been chaotic but I've still been having fun with it. Just gotta roll with it while they smooth out the rough spots. I just see it as a challenge if I see an imabalance.

I mean, I still get blown up, but I tried to beat the odds!

Veterans can give Tier 4-5 some advice. Profit to all.

[ScrapIron Prime]

Matches have been odd, yes, but my win/loss ratio isn't really changing. So meh.

The oddest one was where my team consisted of 5 Locusts, 2 Arctic Cheetahs, 2 Vipers, my Archer, and 2 assaults. And the other team complained that they had no assaults so it was unfair. (We got crushed.) Weird.

They need to do something to promote Event Queue a bit more. People are not reading about it. I accidentally hit Quick Play and was in a match before I was able to hit cancel, about one second. When I mentioned I meant to go to Event Queue, one player said “What’s that?” Another player was ranting about how they couldn’t finish the current challenges because games were so unbalanced. Which was funny because I only played Event Queue the last two days and the only thing left to finish of the three May challenges is to get three KMDD, and about 500 match score. Which I should be able to do tonight.

So that drop went as the majority did when I last played April 2021. Done in about three minutes, 100% NASCAR, 2-12 stomp. The only two my side lost was the slowpoke assaults that caught their NASCAR lead. Luckily, I had leveled my AMS Corsair to 63 KPH so I was able to keep up. But I had to hit the gas right away instead of responding to the two mentioned. At the end, I started to type in responses, but everyone was dropping out.

I had loads of fun last night in the Assault queue, and put a lot of XP on a couple of assaults I never bothered leveling. Pretty easy to do with 200% armor and speed boost. But, those mechs were not the best for that mode (Exe, AMS Corsair, and Gargoyle) to get KMDD or higher match score. When I got them leveled, I switched over to better bruiser mechs and started to see those challenge bars get filled fast. It was hilarious to see NavidA1 and Bear doing hover mode thanks to unlimited JJ fuel. But, they forgot to fill up their leg armor….LOL

that dead right far as im concerned its super hard mode for those that are low tier and easy mode for the high tier guys theres no balance there

MM is placing solo T1's and T5's to same match. This should NOT happen.

It is simply not functioning. It is as if event MM is currently overriding normal QP MM.

I agree 100%. You and I should never be in the same match.

[Der Geisterbaer]

~hmmm~ I'm a bit at a loss here. In the last game I (as someone firmly in the second lowest tier) played today (so far) I was teamed up with what I must suspect was a 3 or 4 man group that included at least one reasonably well known 99 percentile player from EmP. The opposing team had at least one 95 percentile player that right at the start of the match typed into chat "0-12" and some seconds later disconnected (no, I did not report him).
Well, the prediction came almost to pass with "1-12" (from his perspective) and the one kill happened to be that 99 percentile player that I was teamed with.

Now what exactly am I supposed to gather from that?

[Marquis De Lafayette]

Yes. It’s chaos. Seeing lots more 12-0, 12-1 matches. The unpredictability (in that people are just doing everything on every part of the map) is wild. I was in a 12-0 yesterday with a 3 man and our 3 man did 3087 damage with 11 kmdd’s. We also lost some matches were we had cadets with us literally shooting at the ground while we got overwhelmed by competent enemy forces. It’s craziness….but it can’t but fun for the tier 5’s just getting continuously rung up by tier 1’s

[SmokeGuar]

Funny guys, eh?

Well, that 0 - 12 was my prediction. Client crashed at start. came back and ... oh boy.

136, 62, 8, 2, 124, 65, 79, 90, 331, 277 , 84 , 31 dmg on my team.

Only red loss cos they tried to kill me as i was last alive and he overheated.

Knew NONE of my team but half of oppo team, thats why i said what i said at start.

[Heavy Money]

Lol remember all the low tier ppl asking for tiers to be removed? How's that working out for ya?
