http://mwomercs.com/...79-matchmaking/ - scroll to the bottom and read the update. It's anticipated.

Would be nice to know the ELO of those who find it hard to find a match. One would assume that if you're an average joe, it's easier. Obviously I'm too damn good to find suitable opposition

Sound real weird that premades find battles easier than singles. By all logic it should be the other way around.

Looks like I'm shelving MWO for the rest of the week.

I'll try again over the weekend.

Been attempting to get a game for some time now, getting failed matches most of the time, would say I am playing about 1/4 to 1/5 of the time I was playing the game before, if not less.

Complete waste of my premium time and frustrating beyond belief. New matchmaker needs some more work and the old system brought forward again because right now its a complete failure and annoying as hell.

[arghmace]

I'm quite surprised how easily people give up. For all we know, all could be well by tomorrow. This as a response to all these "see ya next month!" -posts.

[Black Punisher]

well, 3 matches in 40 minutes, not good. I hope u'll fix it. 3 in catarpchat.

p.s. oh finally+1 in trebuchet

After long 25 min entered a game

[Matthew Reilly]

Still having trouble finding matches. I got into one match instantly after the patch. After that I could not find a match after multiple retrys.

I am having trouble here as well, but i assumed its because I suck. When I scrolled through the posts, I saw the screenshot of the 8 Steiner mechs, but if matchmaking is working correctly, maybe it just grouped them by faction. Do we know if that has been implemented?

random thoughts while I wait in the queue... again... I have four matches in since the patch.

[The Jove]

Hurrdurr. Now playing about 20-30% of the time, rest of the time is spent waiting.

[GateKeeper York]

20 mins and no match ... glad I have two monitor, but it really break the flow and experience.

oh a match

[InnerMonkey]

3 matches in 10 tries. New player, so surely bad ELO.

[Rebel Ace Fryslan]

took 40 mins and 6 tries finally a match. It takes to long to try.

[M3atloaf]

Matchmaking is FUBAR right now. Jade Wolf has confirmed that the only matchmaking being done is by ELO. 4-man teams, solo drop, 8-mans ... it doesn't matter. We have had numerous times that we have dropped in the 8man queue and gone against 4-man premades and also had solo droppers on the other team.

Tonnage isn't considered in matchmaking now either. We've seen 8 assault teams drop against 5 lights and 3 mediums... in the 4 man queue. This is f*cked and if PGI doesn't fix this fast, the game will be dead in 4 weeks or less.

Played 1 match, but now can't find any.

Same, regardless of mech tonnage

[Ryvucz]

Can't get enough matches in currently to be able to give better feedback.

[Lyrik]

I had a dozen matches tonigth. Had major problems to find a match for my Jenner. Didn't got once into the new Alpine Map.
Had some matches with 1-2 empty slots.
Won a lot of matches. As a pugger my K/D Ratio was 1,14 with ~530 matches. But my win/loss ration was 0,8. Tonight I won a lot of matches and my K/D climbed to 1,18 :-P

So far, the new matchmaking was good to me :-P

And for the people who want to wait for a new patch: Think about it. Without tester there won't be any meaningfull patch for ELO. Hickups are expected when introducing new features.

[Manifest Destiny]

I agree with M3eatloaf, I am here to play a game, not watch a little circle constantly buffer, when it stops being fun people will stop playing, needs fixing ASAP as every minute the new matchmaking system is up is less time people are playing the game, and that kind of thing only circles downwards. Needs sorting before the game starts losing players, hoping its a calibration problem and a easy fix, otherwise, roll the patch back but take action now.

[arghmace]

It takes a while but I get battles with my Centurion doing solo drops. I would guess my ELO is quite a bit on the plus side. On a positive note the battles are obviously more balanced in skill if not in tonnage. No helpless newbies in any of my teams so far, good communication by text chat.

[Diplomat99]

Unless you hotfix 8man against PUGs, I will not play this game anymore
