It's happening to us too, we immediately get a 'failed to find match' when we try to drop. It's like an instant search timeout.

teammate reported single working... Nice that PGI makes things smooth for the lone wolfs, let's poop on the guys who want something at stake... guess we'll split into 2 4's and simo drop and pug stomp, we don't want to, but can't drop with 8 the normal way.

It's not PUG stomping if you get a relatively balanced match due to the Elo usage in the matchmaker.

As to 8mans being disabled, I'm sure they're already looking into it, no need to rage.

Maybe Elo being used in 8-man matches will encourage more players to actually try 8-man drops.

None of the matches I ran with my corp in phase 2 8-man drops ever had the enemy team made up of all Atlas DDC + Raven 3L. Most teams had 2 or 3 ECM mechs. Medium mechs were the least common in 8-man drops.

I just want to drop against an 8 man of my chosing weather we're doing a thanksgiving turkey shoot chasing around ravens with no weapons in assaults with all ballistics and flamers, or a lore based op, or a tournement....

That too much to ask?

Put private matches in, you won't have new people complaining about being bullied about bored people with 3000-5000+ matches under their belts.... must not make fiscal sense... I just don't get it....

Really didn't want to do this, but I guess we're gunna have to get some sort-of petition together, only people who have bought MC or founders packages, basically spent money can sign with some simple demands/requests/whatever you want to call them.

I think your foundation, the group that's going to keep the game going and give the casual - semi-HC players something to work toward, etc.... gotta have a brass ring guys.... Might surprise PGI what a bad idea it really is to turn those guys totally off to the game until they get their community warfare together NOVEMBER if they stay on schedule?!?!

It's working now - we had a group member who hadn't restarted his client after the server hotfix.

relatively balanced or not, i don't want to only be able to play and stomp random 8 mans regardless of how high their elo is...

gunna take more of CW than that to keep people playing... nothing at stake...?!?!
