From Matt C.

Our data shows that the lone wolf queue times are still too long so we are rolling back to the previous match making system while we analyze the data and debug why lone wolf queue times are too long.

We have to starve out the current matches so you'll likely notice that games are even harder to find for the next 15 minutes while the system cycles but should then be back to the same times as before this patch.

Sorry for the inconvenience and we hope to have the ELO match maker back to you as soon as we can address the lone wolf queue times.

Alright, delaying further play until it's back in.

Agree'd

Was it just people in the lone wolf faction? That seems really weird.

Would joining a faction be a work-around?

lone wolf in actual gameplay means solo players, ungrouped.

[Martin77]

He means lonely players instead of lone wolf faction i think..

[JAFO]

Just give us the ability to match up with other teams so we can actually fight other teams. Why is that so hard to do?

[Mao of DC]

It might help if you mark people who have joined the Merc Corp faction, as haveing joined a faction instead of leaveing us as "Lone Wolves"

Lone wolves isn't the best term since it is a "faction" But it's the solo drop players we're talking about.

I am still experiancing terrible issues connecting to matches. Over the past hour I have yet to get into 1 match. Annoyance Building. Need to Destroy Mechs at an extream level. Rage Smash Keyboard is likely in the near future.

Thanks Paul, maybe this batch of live data can help you sort it out.

At least it'll put an end to the All Trebuchet vs. Heavy/Assault matches I've been in.

Alright everyone, old MM server is now online.

[Corwin Maxwell]

Tried dropping with another member of the Blackstar Mercs and got 10 fail to find matches in a row. gave up!

[wormxwood]

Looks like the non-ELO matchmaking engine is online, I just got into a few matches in a row.

[Ace Kaller]

In spite of the 4,789,283 QQ threads that I'm sure will appear over the MM, I think most of us appreciate that it's a work in progress and probably one of the most thankless tasks for a dev in a game like this.

[JAFO]

Please stop focusing on the solo players and focus on the team. After sitting through 3 "no matches found" we finnaly got a match and it was mismatched.

Please give us the ability to Fight against team we want to. Again, why is this so hard? Solo players don't care about team play anyway. Why the emphasis?

if they can't attract new players who are likely to play solo then theyll not stay around long enough to become a team player. think bigger

Greatly appreciate the rollback till it can be made better. Glad to know you guys are hard at work making this game the best it can be, and taking into consideration the play experience.
