Its been getting much worse past couple of months.Playing a 21k ps build during dead hours? then expect a 20 minute queue time if not more and even during peak hours you got 3 minute averages at best. 18k ps ain’t much better off, dead hours is 5 minute queue times and even longer sometimes in the 17k to 19k range. I was never a patrol person but i have been forced to play patrol with my high ps builds because it is the only way of ever getting a match which sucks.
Well what did you expect?
This is the reason ive been playing only low and medium PS for the last 9 years

15k ps is fairly active in patrol.

I finds patrol got a wider range of powerscores and easier to get a game so if the queue times get too bad I just switch to patrol. Sometimes it is just 4 players with 4 bots on a team vs 8 bots so that could be part of the reason it is easier to get a game in patrol because it requires less players than missions.

I normally do patrol to fill out the challenges and then, if I still have time I’ll jump into the other modes. I’ve been skipping to many days though.
Sounds like it’s rough all over. I think it’s because this Battle Pass has come to it’s conclusion. Nobody plays this game just for “fun,”

That’s kind of all I play it for but it’s still a pain in the butt.

People been saying the sky is falling in terms of play numbers for years but this time I think it is for real this time around and I’m really starting to feel it and not just at high ps either. Even trying to find a game of clan con is now a struggle with frequent plus 5 minute queue times and even playing reg pvp as low as 13k ps i can face queue times as high as 5 minutes as well and is getting absolutely ridiculous.

Agreed, I barely play my 13k and 15k builds anymore because its just all bots with dual scorp and masto bots and that shit becomes a tiresome slog to kill them and then the actual pvp begins and ends in an instant.
Queue times seem to vary greatly depending on where you are.
My queue times are never even close to as bad as some people here are experiencing, and I often play during off hours.
The only time I experience long queues is for less popular brawls and special events.
But 9kPS seems to be the sweet spot these days, likely a result of the popularity of CC with both newer and veteran players. Before CC, higher PS was busier for me.
Your from canada too. I finds playing anything over 13k ps during the less active half of the day just about always result in brutal long queues and it progressively gets worse the more ps that your build has. It has always been like that but it’s been getting noticeably worse recently. i would estimate about 40% longer wait times compared to just a few months ago but it is hard to judge.
You’re out on the East coast though, so we’re unlikely to be on the same servers.
If anything, you’re probably closer to Europe than to Toronto.
Sometimes I forget how ridiculously large our country is.
Just a thought about the game “dying”…I’m always seeing new names in the missions as well as in bedlam, mixed in with the regulars. These are at intermediate powerscores, so they’re not new players either. A lot of folks don’t just play only one game, and may spend an hour here before switching to something else. The only long waits I really see are in levi invasions, sometimes up to several minutes, but I attribute this to the daily fuel limit and the kind of build you need for it.

There are a lot more casual intermediate players than people realize. They’ll join my clan for a while, and then not play for a few weeks. I usually kick people after a few weeks of not playing, but they’re always welcome to rejoin if we have room.
We get some genuinely new players as well, but they can’t even join clans until they’ve been playing for a while.
Here’s your typical super high ps match on pc. It is the same players over and over vs a few bots and if those same players are not on well you ain’t getting a game period. I don’t think I even sees crushade anymore and a lot of the high ps regs like kingjohan for example seem to have gone as well, ain’t seen them in eons.
