Quick Play is currently broken, 8 vs 8

I read that, and unfortunetly, it absolutely sucks... Especially when the team weight are out way out of balance, makes for a ******** round than 12 vs 12. At least in 12 vs 12, you have a chance when out weighed.

I think the OP is correct. Broken =)~

[Meep Meep]

I'm having a blast. Though I think that it should have been an optional event like the others.

[VaelophisNyx]

Yeah this should've been sent to the event queue system not forced upon QP
Comp players know what the event queue button is I'd hope

Guess I can't play for the weekend while it's 8v8 and everyone seems to be aiming explicitly for cockpits

Did they actually reduce group size to 3?

Are the tier restrictions of the matchmaker on?

supposedly they did but some folks report groups of 4 dropping anyway; wonder if its just that the queue has no choice
further support for there not being this forced on QP

And tier restrictions certainly haven't been working for a while now. Player population is too small on most days

Maps have been way too big since they introduced alpine , even when they bumped it up to 12v12 several maps are just too large to realistically use all of it.

im still finding new areas on maps that have been around for most of the game's life. like this would be a good place to fight if they moved it to the middle of the map.

Redesigned forest is like that, could be 3-4 maps, just like how Alpine could've been 2-3.

[Adalonzo]

It's not broken, it's finally fixed. 8v8 should be the default.

[VaelophisNyx]

8V8 has lead to the sweatiest, most awful matches I have ever seen. Anyone saying it's somehow better than 12v12 is insane

[VeeOt Dragon]

yeah i have always hated the idea of 8v8 in quickplay and this just solidifies it. looks like i am gonna have to wait till this ******** is over before i can finish the event. i have never had any issues with wait times so i don't see the point in forcing this **** on us. do it in the test server or as part of the Event que instead of forcing something on us that the majority of people DON'T want. then again that is par for the course for Cauldron these days.

I am not sure if it is fair, but I am assuming that it is a four person group if I see four of the same tag in the same lance. Especially if they show up in multiple games.

Who had poptart Legends with no jump shake for August on their Cauldron bingo card?

That being said, I think everyone can agree that the Cauldron has done a lot to keep this game going. I doubt it would have lasted this long without their energy and input.

nah that's completely fair. Its almost a certainty that a collection of multiple identical clan tags together is running as a group
but yeah apparently both the tonnage limiter AND the group limit are broken! and get to stay that way for the next 3 days for the whole disaster. "Fun"

It'd be doing better if they'd make any non-sniper gameplay viable tbh
