I’ve never taken a coffee into the shower…
secotr conquest right now : queue up wait for like 10 mins (grab a coffee take a shower etc.) play for 1 minute beat the crap out of the other team get a few credits
rince and repeat
I feel that the game is heading in a direction where its not supposed to go. I feel that the person in charge of guiding the game has been fired or replaced. Doesn’t feel that the game is different after some specific time period or after some series of patches?
lol sector conquest is so one-sided right now it s not even funny
Kinda funny
Kinda funny
Oh you KNOW there will be complaints forthcoming …about it NOT BEING FAIR!
It’s even funnier that you had to wait 20 minutes to get that game.

Well that was to be expected given how tiny the playerbase is and how only a small fraction of that tiny number is in T5.
The regular pvp MM beaing broken is much bigger issue atm…

funnier that the game itself lasted ~3 minutes iirc
Kinda funny
12 vs 12 
I want that too…

t5 4 3 and 2 are together on SQ, the que must be bugged
If there was 2000+ players per region, this wouldn’t be an issue.
But when you have 500-2000 players TOTAL
and you make default region for everyone their own region
You get a lot of 3v3 matches, usually with bots included, that aren’t even balanced
example: as a 1480 rated player, I got 3 matches today where the enemy has 1 actual player, who was around 1150 all 3 times.
Not tried Sector conquest yet but u definetly right m8…
In T4 MM was much better b4 patch…
It takes ages to get matched in 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2 or 3 vs 3 matches…
Just couple of times been in matched with 5 palyers on both sides…
Well the changelog said that in Sector Conquest the ships from Level 5 - 15 will be matched now together. And whit Level 5 the ship is already in T2 so it is no bug it is the SCQ (Sector Conquest) system.
In the end for newer players the SCQ is now totaly useless whit Level 5 cause they can be thrown into battles against high tiers whitout of having a chance and to server a canonnfood. But atm they have no other choice if they wanna do PvP cause the basic PvP system is gone and only the custom battle allows them to come into an battle whit their level.
It’s the same in T3, where before the patch
Getting less than 8vs8 was RARE
Now getting more than 3vs3 is rare.
Kinda funny
Abandoned outpost capture the beacons?!?!
Abandoned outpost capture the beacons?!?!
With warpgates as well.
Chaos
With warpgates as well.
Chaos
A funny chaos I must add, only if we could get more than a game per hour. 2 games in 3 hours lol

This. T3 on prime time was always pretty much instant 12vs12. Now its beyond broken…
And after 2 weeks it seems most people still can’t make a difference between ‘tier balance’ (problem with tier mixing - which i have a problem with myself) and ‘new game mode’ (new sector conquest where results matter - i have nothing against this general idea).
I think the regular PvP should have kept it’s ‘sector conquest’ name and the new game mode be named to ‘territory capture’, just out of curiosity to see how many people would be b***in’ about it, because they still didn’t read the part with ‘PvP Battle’.
Wondering where ‘common sense’ ran off to…
Now onto queues, i highly suspect one of the culprits to be not allowing 2 or even 3 squads of the same corp fight on one side. It is corp-wars after all. It should be allowed and a part of the long queue times would be reduced. Corps fighting on the same side not facing each other is a plus, it’s real.
Another one stated above is forcing default servers for everyone to the closest available.
A third i can think off is the skill rating and other stat filtering.
Add tier mixing to the arcade mode.
^^^ all these add up… a lot
On top of all that, one big bug / issue was missed. One of the sectors on the empire side could not be picked for capturing (defense vs Jericho). If this happened to the other factions as well, that’s another problem because a large part of the player base would be trying to face the opposing faction with no actual opponents. Just a guess tho, i still suspect that engaging a different territory across the map would put you in the fight in the other one as an opposing force or friendly like in the former SQ (which i cannot really go too much into detail since is complete bogus and still confuses me).
I guess queue was simpli bugged -.- wasted 3 hours for 4 games
I’m still waiting for the infamous “working as intended”, can’t wait to have a good laugh.
Out of the daily active 2000 or so players, they will probably lose at least 1000 in that case Deran.
