I cant see them ever bringing back the 5-7 man groups. People will just exploit by purposefully dropping with 7 so they can "pug stomp" while ensuring they don't get ***** by another more skilled 8 man.

that's what the ELO is for genius, this is a team game, if I can't play with my 5-6 friends, why would I want to play? It's got nothing to do with who we play against.

disappointing when we get back in and see the developers rocking all cheese builds, sorry state of affairs

Up to 3 minutes ... I find this rather unaccaptable.

I find a general lack of patience with a game in Open Beta Extremely unacceptable, maybe wait til the game leaves beta to play if you don't have said patience

We ask that players do not close their clients while searching for games. Matchmaking can take up to 3 minutes, and closing your client only delays finding a match further.

Can we please get a Cancel-button to get out of the matchmaking queue?

Edit: Thanks for the quick hotfix. The current very short wait times as a lone wolf are quite alright.

This ELO MM is just forcing people to just use assaults since it doesn't take into account tonnage it seems. So what if it matches skills, if a person is using a hunchback and another with the same ELO using a D-DC atlas, who do you think has the advantage? I played game against 4 D-DCs and no lights, when we had no assauts (just 2 heavy, 5 meds, and 1 light). We got ROFL stomped.

Please switch ELO off again. We are having super worse matches again. I still got the feeling that we are matched against 8man premades.

And btw, please take a look at the uac5 steady-jam problem. Using this weapon was better before the patch.
But nevertheless, keep up the good work

I don't want my 5-7 man group in the pug queue. I want it in the group queue and either filled in with groups or willing solo players.

I'd be more than happy to fill up any gaps, even without voice com.
At least i'd know the rest of my team wouldn't be doing anything beyond r etarde d.

[MWHawke]

Maybe you might want to fix the hanging issues instead of anything else during this period?

Just a suggestion..

[ShdwWraith]

Having no problems finding a match, keep getting matched up against premades, will keep playing to see if it continues though, not sure if they are 8-mans or 2x 4mans, or just a really good group of pugs

This. I don't like playing against premades, but ELO should balance things out. Not to mention, a 4 man premade is just as likely to win as a 5-6 man premade. Its part of the game, and I for one would like to not have to leave someone out because of "Game Balance"

I thought 2-3 Minutes MatchMaker was a mistake in the patch notes

[Jelan]

Just dropped against an empty team in an 8 man

Close your client? Are they speaking of Alt-tabbing or closing?

Close your client? Do they mean closing it?

YES THAT IS WHY HE USED THE WORD CLOSE.

[Skadi]

Great, while youre at it try fixing the horrendous weight balance in pug matches, i was cool with this in 8 mans but it has no place in pug matches...

just... wtf pgi...

i thought weight match was still in place for solo/pug/4man drops?

They need to make it weight match in all drops, 4 or 8 man. If the match maker can't match then it can match the closest it can. At least that's my opinion on how it should be.

[Goose]

It's Elo: This "weight balance" thing of yours has no place in it …

[Darknight99]

Wouldnt it make it a bit harder to find matches when you add all the strict parameters ?

[LaserAngel]

Ouch, I hope I don't see those Trebuchet vs. Atlas matches again.
