5 Timeouts in a row... :/

[Tilon11]

Same here. Finding a match=no success.

[Lerzpftz]

WohoooO! Only 7 tries and about 20 minutes later and i got a game !

[arghmace]

I got pretty fast into 2 matches with a Centurion but now 4 failures in a row.

The matchmaker is putting ungrouped folks up against 8 man teams.

well, sorry about that... we were as surprised as you... was never mentioned that 8-man-groups will drop against not-8-man-groups again...

Ugg.... Wasting what's left of my premium time.......

Managaed to play on my third and fourth attempt, both very decent games (tho the second one did end 8-0).

EDIT: both in Catapults.

Yay, and thanks, for the dedicated server letting us out of matches sooner!
I really do like the idea of the new matchmaker, however it turns out to be more work and waiting time trying to get back in though.
Maybe next patch could involve a slider/varibale so we can "tune" how close we want our matches if we can't get in normally?
Just throwing it out there.
Anyway, you guys rock!
Thanks for all you're awesomeness!

Not bitter or anything, just didn't see it as a documented feature! That's a pretty big deal, that should be in the patch notes, if it is intended.

No matching of mech types (lights / mediums etc.) is total and complete bullsh*t !

I only wish we could listen into the conversation that probably already happened...

(hypothetical)
"oh crap, I left the testing flags turned on!"
"There are Windows PC's that are big endian? WHAT!" (It's OK, they aren't)
"DIV0 exception for everyone who has had a disconnect in the last two weeks. Aw dang!"
"An 8-man dropped against PUG's? ...(scratches chin in thought)... as designed. ELO will balance ALL!"

Just having fun here. I prefer them to take chances and fail than to play it totally safe.
Just want to remind everyone that quality is still VERY HIGH for an open beta. I just saw this morning that I played my 1001st game. I've probably had 5 disconnects and 10 HUD bugs, and 5 framerate bugs... that's a 2% fail rate.

They will fix it very soon. Oh and don't just use the forums...

Woot 2nd success here

I had a few matches, Solo and 4 ppl. I/We got steam rolled allmost every time. I think i will have to wait a few days/weeks until i play again.

[Vincent Quatermain]

Same problem here. I have played maybe three matches in an hour and a half. The matchmaker fails again and again.

People are saying there may need to be more people online before this matchmaker works, but I guarantee you no one will stay online if they can't get into matches -- so we will never know if that's true.

Normally saying that a patch makes the game unplayable is stupid hyperbole. But in this case "unplayable" is the correct word. I cannot play the game, period. Fix now.

[BDU Drakzen]

Unable to join matches - times out - been trying for 30 minutes without success

[Redoxin]

All fine for me. Only once searching failed, while doing 5 matches.
Solo btw, Assault only..

This.

If this was accidental then it was sloppy.

If it was on purpose then it was moronic.

[costi]

For me it's improving, failed to find a game once and two next ones were almost instant.

IMHO we need to wait a couple of days, I guess many people (especially from Europe) don't play on patch day or come later, because it often took quite a long time.

[9ball]

+1---- 2 matches in 40+ tries.

Yep - tantamount to stealing in my book - take my money then disallow me to use the product. Could be why they gave us the extra day on the 14th.
