For the last week or so, I have never been in the warbarge. My corp mates have noticed the same thing. Is this an intentional change that CCP made or is it just coincidence?
What i find annoying about it is that I no longer get to squad up with random people when I'm running solo. I enjoyed that part of the game.

Open it up, enter some check marks in and go, or start a squad and set some checkmarks and open your squad for pubs to fill in. Not sure what options but I am sure you can speculate until the dev blog comes out detailing how it works. |

At anytime in a match you can still press Select to open your chat channels and join one of the squads on your team.
I miss the Warbarge though, and they hardly give us any time there in FW. |

4 out of 5 matches I would end up immediately on the field map and never see the warbarge. |

They have to clear the warbarge so they can work on the tram system. |

The time in the warbarge got nerfed.
We're not getting paid to play grabass and socialize under contract.
:p
Though some matches it was the most fun I had before being stomped... |

One of their recent hotfixes said they reduced the time it takes to get into battle.
I'm guessing this is what it is. |

I miss the war barge announcements. I had all sorts of troll-mimic announcements of my own lined up.

Yeah, matchmaking is real good
Thats why when I load up my alt with 2m SP he still goes up against teams made of stacked squads running proto gear
Have you guys proposed just having CCP give us gear restricted contracts that we can queue up for rather than the cluster **** match making we have now |

Bring it back!
They did say they were reducing the warbarge timer, but it's not even there right now. The most I ever get in a public contract is a passing glimpse as the game transitions from loading screen to the overhead map.
Warbarge was great for forming random squads and checking out who was on the enemy team. I realize you can do these things in game, but realistically - when the map first loads, most people are not going to pull up the player list and team chats. Not to mention doing this at the beginning of a domination/skirmish basically guarantee's you're losing the race to the objective. |

Domination more than Skirmish, but the objective game modes are both sensitive to initial conditions. The team that spends time organizing on the field will miss the initial advantage.
In Domination dropping in at 20 seconds before deployment -- which seems to be the most common late entry time -- does get you into the game quicker but it's a bit short. The team and squad list takes around 15 seconds to load so you only have a 5 second window to join a squad in the war barge.
In any updates to the system I would urge at least 20 seconds after the player list loads to allow players to orient themselves to the competition and join any pick-up squads.
A bit off topic -- a preview in the war barge of the map, perhaps an overview map projected on a screen or as a HUD inset -- would be a big help getting set up.

Sorry to tell you this wolf but matchmaking is an epic fail some days. Yesterday my side had 16 other side just 1 player. Hats off to the one player he or she must have been a real Bad A** that the AI thinks he or she can kill 16 other players while holding the objective, and able to resupply themselves the whole match. Second match I was in, my side random bluberries (I have the pics to prove this and I am going to post them in a future forum discussion just trying to find a way to post them) the other side 2 (6 man squads from 2 different cores). My side was redlined in less than 5 minutes then the sniper rifles came out and the rest was history. Match making is a fail in my book. |

squads joining and lag delays on first maybe? I've had that happen and just went free fits and had some fun. Thankfully the other side had a bit of honor and did 1v1 battles with ring watching. At least made it interesting until other finally spawned in. |
