We're planning a 10-day 8v8 Quick Play Queue Match Making change.
To help reduce search times, we considered two options: reducing match team sizes or widening the Tier gates. We’re going with a temporary reduction to 8v8, which maintains the current Tier gates while scaling things down.
I could say worse, but I will be polite. The search times for the queue has always been high since May for the MWO NA server, why do this change now? I know its summer, but MMO games are always like this for summer. The only thing I could think is for some unique statistics outside of quick play.
Problems
===
- The maps are too large for an 8 mech team. My suggestion is to reduce the map size to half at least.
- The map spawn is to far apart. The team needs to support each other. My suggestion is to put us in one spot only for the spawn.
- Conquest battle mode needs to be eliminated during this special time. It is too much for a 8 mech team at it's current state. Or if not eliminated, a suggestion is to cut the cap points down from five to three at least.
- The new 8v8 queue is messing with the Legendary Summer Beach Party 2025 requirements. The 150 match score is very hard now especially since the team does not want to be in a murder ball or work as a team. Everyone one is to far spread out. The team is dying too quickly. Tactics is one thing, but trying to play MWO now is like having an arm tied behind your back for a match.
