When are we getting Private Queues back?

Cryptic, how much longer til we get Private Queues back, so we can group with people we can depend and trust?


It's disappointing that the Public Queues are still full of these trolls who purposely do nothing in STFs but sit around (needing on all drops) or feign attacking (to give the appearance of "helping"). And when you run into one of these players, and leave, you end up being hit by the leaver penality for 1 hour.

So be nice we can have our Private Queues back and we can group with people we know will play honestly and give it their all.

    Heh, I got the insane idea of going for the optional on rebecca pug today.

    Call me elitist or whatever for quitting when the op is gone but that's the point I am at now.
    I don't get paid enough to carry people who don't belong there.

    But not being able to queue doesn't serve me and it doesn't serve them either, they ruin it for me and I ruin it for them. We both waste time and get zero out of it.

    I find that doing Defera is a relaxing, if uncomfortable (due to being far from my usual base at New Romulus), alternative to carrying people like that through. I was even forced to do so yesterday when a KAGE (yes, a KAGE run. HOW DO PEOPLE TRIBBLE THAT UP!?) run went terribly wrong.

    But yeah, I won't do another STF until private queues get back up. Not one.

    You do know you can still get 5 people in a team and queue as team to choose who you play STF with? You don't need a private queue.

    Cryptic, how about removing the leaver penalty temporarily while the private queues are down? You should be able to hot patch that.

    Why can't you guys just use the EliteSTF channel?

    We do. Doesn't make a difference.

    Like said above, we do.

    Activity in that channel has dropped to near zero with Season 7, and rarely can you find a group when you need it. Else I for one wouldn't be even thinking of doing Public Queues.

    Cryptic rubs its collective hands in satisfaction at its dastardly plan to give the finger to the STFers after being forced to reinstate dilithium into them.

    As Dan mentioned in his blog and forum post last week, the goal is to have them back up in the next patch.

    Cheers,

    I think that may have been a rhethorical question. But the whole point of the thread is WE CAN'T WAAAAAIIIIT!!

    Unless some of your teammates are from the Klingon faction, in which case, you'd better hope the queuing system matches you up.

    While all of the "teaming channels" still work, it takes twice the time to form a team because of the FED/KDF teaming impossibility. Actually, more time than that, because good amounts of players just aren't playing in this situation.

    Also, the fact that the tactics need to be discussed in team chat (rather than the separated match chat) makes things messy, disorganised. People tend to miss posts, post in wrong channels, ...

    Please, re-enable privates as soon as possible.
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    I'm way more concerned over the private ques coming back up than the foundry... with this rep system plus starbases the foundry is the least of my concerns the rep system just made it drop a notch in the never bothering with list lol.
