CQC How many people play CQC?

You can get a DM fairly easily every day after 6 pm these days and even earlier on wednesdays and weekends. Using the CQC discord channel makes it almost impossible to be stuck out of the game for more than 10 MN usually.
Unfortunately the broken lobby bug can put an entire group in an infinite waiting loop and ruin your chances to play. And since CQC has been such an epic fail, FD doesn't seem in a rush to fix it.
 
In game time. Regarding the other time zones, I wouldn't know but I hear that there is definitely a CQC backhole most of the time after 1 am (igt)
 
It is possible to get games outside the prime time. Unfortunately this is very unlikely without coordinating with other players. Also, it is impossible getting games for TDM or CTF. When queuing at random times, your best bet is to queue for DM.

Fortunately we are regulary able to arrange games for TDM through the cqc discord channel. Hopefully people from other timezones will join. So we can expand the prime time for cqc. We have already noticed an increased interest from america, thus increasing the prime time.

If you’re on pc it shouldn’t take more than 5 mins after 1800 gmt. Choose death match. Tuesday nights still seem favourite, I am now missing my training because I love the CQC so much...will switch to aikido this year, it’s wednesdays! Such loyalty eh?
its great fun, I am crap at it but it’s so fantastic in oculus I don’t really care about win ratios and such. I aim to be elite in CQC before the decade is out!

edit!
Just read your thread properly...sorry...I tend to be there after 00.00 gmt on Friday night sat morning...usually a bit tipsy mind. Can’t this week but sat 23 should be there.

And if you're on PS4.....
..., there is a close to 0 chance to find a game. Kind of sad, would like to play CQC from time to time. And what baffles me a bit is, that there are quite a few CQC trophies I won't ever able to complete because this game mode is dead.

I don't care much about trophies, but for a game with such a long term motivation it would be nice to get Platinum after a few years of play ;)
 
I would like to play CQC alot more, as its basically guaranteed PvP without engineering shenanigans with all the good bits from the combat in 1.0-1.4 of ED. Just that, often no one is there. :( I keep looking from time to time though.
 
Hi
Does anyone know if FD have EVER made ANY comment on the difficulties of EVER finding a match outside of DM to play in...... just wondering on their take

I hear the devs commented on the broken lobby during a livestream and fixed it partially : according to [I don't remember which vet], the problem still occurs but less than it used to. As for me, I wouldn't know : it seems to happen fairly regularly still, but is it better than before ? I'm not sure.
 
What's a CQC?

Sorry but a separate deathmatch doesn't really interest me. If it were tied into BGS generated conflicts it definitely would.

Fly to system in conflict. Sign up for a battle with your faction. Telepresence to conflict zone (around fleet carriers/installations etc - these would be a separate instance from current CGs, only accessible via signing up). pew pew pew in the battle.

CQC is a sport, for BGS you have other tools (i.e. bounty hunting).

For me CQC is a great fun. Some people like it some don't. I hate BGS.
 
Besides friday evening, none for me (central europe time zone btw.)

If at least they would'nt be ashamed to publish some numbers. Current active Session or Number of Players in the different game modes, that we could estimate a waiting time.

But no. They seem to be afraid, that someone may extrapolate there revenue by active cqc players? Its just drives me crazy leaving cqc in such a state for more than two yearrs now?

Some maximum disrespect if you ask me! Do you still remember that cqc tourney which never played out...

The joke is on us!
