Aeon Amadi Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 7214	Posted - 2014.11.12 18:59:00 - [1] - Quote I've found that running solo or in a squad, a lot of times I'll be waiting in excess of 15-20 minutes for an FW match for either Gallente or Minmatar despite the estimated wait time being 2-3 minutes. Anyone else having this issue? Long-Term Roadmap This Player is Against Proto BPOs
Mikel Arias Challengers 506 19	Posted - 2014.11.12 19:01:00 - [2] - Quote Same. I dont have a squad (and I would love to, but dont have a mic), and it takes like 10 minutes to get a match or tell me that something went wrong and it starts to look for a match again. It sucks.

Riptalis Horizons' Edge Proficiency V. 79	Posted - 2014.11.12 19:14:00 - [4] - Quote When searching for FW, if the timer says 00:00 stop and try again later. I found that when there's a average wait time I have more of a chance to join. I think I'm the noob that just found out... Python pilot PSN: Riptalis

Thor Odinson42 Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 5239	Posted - 2014.11.12 19:27:00 - [7] - Quote It's tough to get a match solo. And usually when I do, it's because someone left the battle because it was a stomp. You go in and your team has killed like 3 people with only a sliver left on the MCC. I wish my avatar was Minmatar.

Loads of people queue for FW matches, see 00:00, and promptly unqueue to do something else. Then nobody ends up starting a match despite there being the people to do so. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake. Currently challenging CCP Rattati for the queef

Loads of people queue for FW matches, see 00:00, and promptly unqueue to do something else. Then nobody ends up starting a match despite there being the people to do so. 19 minutes and counting. I queue up regardless of what the estimate time says. Doesn't seem to make a bit of difference. I can get into a Caldari/Amarr match in <5 minutes though. Dunno. Personally, I don't think it should be necessary that a player should have to wait half an hour just to be able to fight for who they want to, to get rewards for the items they want, or whatever reason they choose to align with their particular faction. If you ask me, maybe it's time to look at other avenues of how to handle this... Maybe 6v6 Ambush FW matches for lower rewards or something to segregate solo players from squad players so that everyone -at least- gets into a match with some degree of efficiency...

Anyone else having this issue? Yes. Didn't get into a single FW match today, after having been scottied a few times I just gave up.
Bradric Banewolf D3ATH CARD RUST415 445	Posted - 2014.11.12 22:15:00 - [12] - Quote It's more Beneficial to just run ambush or dom. For whatever reason the bulk of the player base play these modes (no surprise), and everyone seems to hate multiple objectives?! I'm a big fan of skirmish modes. Also like PC.... even in its currently failed state?! The strategy of the battlefield I like, and alot of players can't adjust to an ever changing scenario. Which is why they play ambush and dom. They can do the same thing repeatedly, and expect different results.... they have a name for this behavior don't they? FW does take to long to go into. Q syncing to get rid of blues takes even longer?! LP payout is far to low for this, and there's no isk involved?! I personally think your isk reward in battle should be directly effected by your loyalty in factional. Loyalty ranking percentage I simply don't notice, and I'm lvl 9?! Isk payouts looks exactly the same as before. I think we should get a discount on weapons for the factions. Just my opinion. "Anybody order chaos?"
John Demonsbane Unorganized Ninja Infantry Tactics 4514	Posted - 2014.11.12 22:22:00 - [13] - Quote I can't even remember a time when the FW timer was even remotely accurate. It's been an average of at least 2 minutes longer than it says for months now. (The godfather of tactical logistics)

In addition to selecting which pub game mode (Ambush / Domination / Skirmish), also choose which FW factions you want to fight for. Might still mean you have some problems fighting for your faction of choice if there really is nobody else around that wants to fight that same fight, but at least you widen the net to catch all those folk who don't even bother attempting to queue for FW because of the wait times and just play pubs.
