Why don't I get the game mode I selected?
You can now choose multiple game modes however this will not always gaurentee you get one of those modes. The selection is used in 2 ways, we first build groups of players who have similar preferences of game mode, region and ranking. The second step is to use everyone's preferences to perform a vote on which mode to play. We will be tuning how effectively this works over the coming days so you should see some improvement in how often you get your selected modes.

Originally I thought it was a bug in that the entire squad was being used to determine what type of match to play.

Then I read a the above by Nullabor and this situation is exactly what was Supposed to happen.

What a hoot. Now there is no way to get into a match you want because it is determined by everyone else in the queue. Then you get forced into a match you didn't want because the queue you selected was outvoted!

Sweet!

Where Sweet == Stupid.

So yeah, throw me a +1 if this works for you.

So far if everyone has everything checked all people have made it in to the game. The few games where 1 or 2 mercs got left behind also happened to be the same rounds where people had different things checked.

It says it's searching and then it takes me back to the starting point after about 30 seconds. No message saying something like, " no contracts found".... Just takes me back to start searching over and over. Great release

But now, maybe not so much.
Longratis Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 6	Posted - 2013.09.03 19:54:00 - [6] - Quote Okay, this is a joke. Tried joining a skirmish and if you read my post above, nothing happened. Finally, it sends me to an Ambush. So, tried what the OP states and for me Domination takes me to domination. Tried, Ambush and get Ambush (at least that seems to work , but I don't want to play in an Ambush battle). So not real sure how to get in a Skirmish battle. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Finally, it worked. Had to quit and restart the game only three times. Skirmish finally put me in Skirmish...i'm at a loss for words. Finally server has enough peeps for matchmaking to "work".

Also, it sounds like there might me a mix-up in the flags for the game types selected as the OP points out. Which should be a quick fix. Munch

Has anyone looked into whether or not some squad members are outclassed by the squad leader or maybe severely outclass others, and they are the ones not getting into battle? It would be interesting to look into SP, WP, and player skill between squadmates who are getting kicked from their squads.

Just because people say they'll leave hardly means anything. I'm sure everything well be fine and everyone well go back to balance QQing. Goodjob by the way on that. The shotgun is the only thing i've seen to be unbalanced. More towards the negative side unfortunately :/
