    Obviously they did something right because as frustrated as I am I keep hanging around. But if I don't get some decent pew pew soon that is likely going to change. I think about how long things like Cannon: Scatter Volley and Tractor/Shockwave combos were bugged and I seriously hope we don't have to wait that long for a fix.

    It's hard to believe that something this broken can go on for as long as it has.

    I'm impressed he actually got in 4 games.

    If you're teamed up even with one person your chances of getting in at all are cut in half.

    The only thing missing is that the interface would randomly spit "Between subtle shading and the absence of light lies the nuance of iqlusion". Then it would be about as cryptic as its going to get.

    I just cant get enough of the Cryptic puns :D

    I probably just experienced the most hilarious bug after accepting a pvp queue:

    Map is not accepting logins because it told to die
    [then it logged me off]
    and showed this error on the login screen.

    I had a pretty funny bug just now as well. I finally get into a game after about 30 minutes of trying and getting rejected. So I zone in, and all is well.. and I see this tiny message in the bottom of my screen... "you will be removed from this map in 10 seconds" or something like that. Yup, somehow the game managed to let 6 people into the game, and decided that I was the one too many.

    I got into two arena maps today - been on for four hours, but not continuously queued - and on both maps the respawn point didn't change.

    I die, I respawn into 5 of the enemy, I die, I respawn into 5 of the enemy .... games both lasted about 3 minutes.

    TRIBBLE this.

    Had this one happen to me yesterday.

    Oh, and so far, over the last several days, only about half of the games have been evenly matched, and rarely are they full.

    Gave up playing a game with devs like these. I check forums now and then, but most people have moved on because these employee's suck so bad everything they touch screws up.

    Glad this isn't just an isolated incident (misery loves company). Cryptic, for the love of Q, please fix the PVP queue. It should NOT feel like I'm playing a game of Dabo every time I click 'engage'.

    Right now the game is not worth playing in these god-aweful qeues.

    Ditto the above. The current queue arrangement is driving people screaming (or yawning) from the game. If nothing else, simply revert to the way it was a mere week ago.

    I would rather do a gimped PvP match and atleast be able to play than have to wait hours to play. The system was ok before S2 and now the only thing that keeps me coming back is now broken to pieces and driving players crazy.

    Positive: I have time to think about the abilities of my away team members and improve my exploration mission ground combat skills.
    Negative: I cannot get into any PVP matches.

    Problem: I want space PVP, not the perfect away team.

    Ha. I had re-subbed to see what Season Two looked like after being here since Open Beta and leaving in April (see Cryptic, some of the ones that said they'd be back came back). After all of those weeks of delays for Season Two and all of that time on Tribble only for all of these bugs to emerge has reaffirmed my confidence in my previous decision to leave. I'm rather annoyed I wasted money on this game when it appears that the devs simply cannot get their act together. Never mind the fact that most of what's in Season Two feels like stuff that ought to have been there in February for launch, but from the perspective of someone who pretty much primarily played PVP due to the boring single-player missions, this queue issue is a real disappointment. I've had the same daily in my mission queue waiting to get completed for three days now. WHAT IS THE POINT OF EVEN *HAVING* A TEST SERVER ANYMORE?

    Unfortunately for Cryptic they haven't billed my credit card yet. And they won't. Cryptic and Atari have simply run out of time. My time, that is. How they managed to take an already fragile queue system and make it 150% worse will forever baffle me and I feel bad for the people who bought multiple lifetime subs and pre-orders (for items that you can now get with Crytpic Points). Mostly the lifers who will have to deal with the schizophrenic development process of this game's creators for the duration of its lifespan. However long that is. If these Season Two glitches--again, I reiterated, after weeks of delays and being on Tribble--don't rattle your confidence in this game's future, I don't know what will. Take it from someone who has seen most of this game from the beginning until now-- I sincerely doubt it's going to get much better.


    You're telling me that none of the devs realized this would be a problem after all of that time on Tribble? Please. And why they would release glitchy systems when it was probably within their power to just leave the old *working* system in place also confuses me greatly. And throughout most of these PVP-complaint posts, I don't see a single GM or dev comment when they're usually rather Johnny-On-The-Spot with an answer or some failed attempt at distraction with some low-brow joke or totally unrelated tangent.


    P.S: Part of my rage is fueled by the fact that I spent an entire hour waiting in the queue to play two matches with teams that quite obviously did not want to play the Space Arena map(s) and threw away the match because they were so annoyed. Space Arena is the only map I've been able to get into for two days now. I haven't even seen a Capture and Hold Map since this weekend.

    Pathetic. Utterly pathetic. Sorry I wasted my sixty bucks on the game-- glad I won't be coming back.

    No you can't have my stuff, it's bound.

    Oh the irony. I just got the bug with the popup I can't click join on, because it tells me I'm not in the queue. Then I go to the pvp queue screen and try to queue, and it tells me I can't queue because I am already in the queue.

    Did I say "oh the irony"? I meant to say "oh the idiocy".
