Who would like to see a 12 man QP queue added to the game?

*Not saying change the current QP queue to 12 man, I'm saying add another QP mode for 12 man groups.

MWO's current player population is too low to feature a 12 player group QP queue, outside of perhaps a limited time Event Queue on a weekend during EU/ NA prime time. Your best bet to be able to play something like this would be to arrange a private lobby with 24 players.

You can always drop with your 12-man premade in the Faction Play.

1) Queues will likely not be splitting due to the population, full stop. There wasn't room for 8-man groups years ago, what makes you think a separate queue with 12-man queues will be better?

2) Even when there was a group queue, it was severely imbalanced due to the skill gap. Asking for a 12-man queue is essentially telegraphing that you can get 12 together and want to stomp other groups.

3) Indeed, if you have 12-man groups, take up a whole side in FP and play that. It solves 50% of the lobby requirement (numbers).

4) EQ likely will never again replicate full lobby side groups... there was a single attempt at this back in the beginning of 2025. And of course the lesson of "what happens when you have a big group queue with no matchmaker" was quickly RELEARNED. It screwed group queue, it screwed FP, we don't need to screw over EQ as well. You'll have to make do with groups 2-4 depending on lobby size.

Weekends seem to be the best time for faction drops so try then.

just do more fp events.
