That "Failed to find a match" really is a bit anoying. Too wait 2-3 minutes is OK, i know that from other games, but waiting and waiting again for "Failed to find a match" is a bit hard.

Matchmaking Phase 3 is seriously broken, please go back to Phase 2.

I don't mind a 2 minute wait between matches, I do mind the 20 minutes of repeated 'Failed to Find Match' errors.

I'm wondering if those on the outliers of the scale are the ones having more problems finding matches. If the system can't match me up very well to most those below my ELO (slight bragging intended :P ) then would it be causing my lack of game connecting perhaps?

SOOOOO i got right into a battle right after the patch, After that can not find any matches... ... ... ...

they need to fix this fast, and not in 2 to 4 weeks, if you can not play then whats the point.

Out of ten attempts, nine "Failed to find a match." and one successful game in two hours. Time to go play something else.

PGI you should try some form of testing before implementing these new features failures on your player population.


You are playing in a BETA. This is the "some form of testing".

I can't say much about match making. Maybe I would if I could get into a match. I've managed to get only into one match today and I'm about to give up and not play this game until this is fixed. I have no desire to spend hours sitting in front of the screen watching a little circle spin just so I can play for a few minutes. At least the searching should not be interrupted until a match is found. This is game breaking.

"It's probably due to low server population because people are patching."

Based on the fact that so many people are reporting they can't join a match on these forums, and the fact that the patch took me about three minutes on my mentally challenged (lol censorship) DSL internet, I'd say that hypothesis is more or less crap.

Failed to find matches 9 times in a row (at 1-3 mins a pop) before patch I could jump in with 10 mins to burn grab a match maybe two if I was lucky, now with double the time to spend (20 mins) I have failed to find any matches. I would honestly prefer a hotfix back to the old method rather than this. Even if it were to pickup a match within 2-3 minutes as intended thats far too long considering it was nearly instant previously.

A nice attempt at bringing balance but I think this one needs to go back to the drawing board. Keep up the good work tho guys =)

I did get into one match and the trebuche was fun, tho the 7x is a little bit closer to the cn9-d than id like to admit. I gotta get me one with jj's then perhaps my smile will get wider.

The hotfix made it better for me. Before I had up to 7 failed attempts, after fix only 1 per match max.

Seems the same, possibly worse after the hotfix. Dropping Lone-Wolf in a light and I got 3+ failures per drop.

Now that queue times are longer it would be nice to include a button that cancels the search. Sometimes I want to change my mech or something during the wait and it's annoying to have to restart the client to do it.

Got home from a long day at work; only briefly reading up on the new Trebuchet and Alpine map...EXCITING STUFF!

Patched the game and watched the new 3D spinning yellow circle, til it told me it failed to find a match; again, and again, and again, and again.

Good thing this is BETA. If they fix it immediately then its cool, but if it takes two weeks, then I guess I get a break.

The DEVs say that there's a rollback to the old matchmaker system.

Same problem here, and I am not even that good a pilot! Is this problem persisting in group matches?

I'm also very disappointed. A total waste of my premium time. I spent a half hour waiting and

trying to get a match. I finally did and it was a good match, up until the whole client froze and I

had to Alt-Tab out. Looks like I'm going to have to give Hawken a try. Sad too considering the

amount time and money I've put into this game. :P
