This is a bad sign

[vhf]

10 pm and MM can't fill a team. And what it came up with, just wow. I was in queue for about 40 seconds before seeing this abortion. I thought this sort of thing was worked out already.

It was a failtoon.  Not MMs fault

h-hey, wo can carry hard enough

[donaldEpott]

Its why I run my higher tier ships early in the evening. Late its just mid to low tiers.

That and it was also a high tier carrier que dump.

Even if you take out the CV imbalance there's still a 5 tier difference between teams with only 7 ships total per side. Carry sure but c'mon.

I understand that but why is this still allowed? Shouldn't the folks who make decisions about MM have corrected this after four years of developing this platform?

Actually, a 2/1/1 Lexington is very hard to deal with a 1/2/2 Essex, if the Lexington knows what they are doing. They will 2v1 the Essex's fighters and win, or they can tie up 1 or 2 of the Essex's torpedo bomber squadrons and hamper an attack run.

If they have not done anything about platoons in that regard for WoT in how many years? What makes you think they will do anything about it now? 

 

This is a free to play game after all. You all should be grateful you get a game like this at all with it being free to play. Sure you would pay to get a "boost" but none the less its FREE TO PLAY what part of that do you people not understand? Like I've said (in darth vaders voice) The lack of logic in this community is disturbing.

You do realize a lot of people have been avoiding tier 8+ due to the insane spike of repair costs. Im included with a Nor Cal.

You are greatly overestimating WGs level of competence when it comes to making their game work. =P

Free to play means they don't address long standing issues with the game and I should be grateful for this?

 

Regardless many players pay for this game and as I am one of them I feel some accountability is appropriate. And just because they've been ignored in the past doesn't mean we should stop raising the issues that exist.

Hmmm yea I am one of those players that pay money to play for the added benefits. Accountability or not you are in fact paying for a free to play game to address issues that have been around for years. Like I said what makes you think they will fix them now? They want friends to play together in order to draw in more money, its simple logic.....

h-hey, wo can carry hard enough

 

Pfffftt.

Oh thats rich.

[Raptor_alcor]

Welcome to tier 8+, where the repair costs are so restrictive that it's damn near impossible to do anything it seems. 

[dbs1701]

I don't know - is 40 seconds considered an extremely long wait by most folks? I guess I would rather wait another minute or two and have a better match as a result of it than to have MM go 'quick and dirty'.  The max waiting time is 5 minutes, I would be okay with them taking more of that time if it meant better matches.

Count me. I stop at T8 and every so often I ran them with the flag that reduces cost. I grind all lines, and play them equally. No interest in going past T8 until (if ever) costs go down.

[Seloth]

Sadly about the only Tier 8 or higher I run more then once a day is the Tripitz, any other ships is too expensive to run save to get the daily bonus.

[Dr_Venture]

^ what this guy said. 

[Skpstr]

Somebody in that match was waiting 5 minutes. Does nobody ever think about that?

It was only +2MM, which is better than what we saw in CBT/OBT most of the time. Also, WG adjusted MM to 'fix' the whining about CV imbalances in higher tiers. This results in long queue times and occasional queue dumps for hi tier CVs.

It was not a true 'fail platoon' in the sense that it was t1 and t10, but anyone who down-tiers a CV, especially in higher tiers, is just a moron who has no idea how MM works. 

[Wo_9]

so what happened here?

[Yasenpoi]

They should probably figure out how to balance teams more evenly.  Midways and Yamatos are not really on the same level as things like Des Moines.

Not sure if you watch iChases stream but I remember 1 match, I think it was a New Orleans was platooned with a langley and MM put that as the CV vs iChase in his midway...
