Basically the queues are killing me, I'm waiting 15 minutes to get into a game that's half full and over within 10 minutes. Something has to be done, something has to change. Is anyone else having these problems? I haven't been able to play with a full group of Chapter players for the last two weeks, quite upsetting. I made a video about how I would like all factions on the same map, longer battles that last and are more tactical to play on.

(Just speaking on behalf of myself here, naturally) Aint gonna watch a 15 min video that i dont know why im watching. Its clickbaity at best. You should write what your issue is, maybe then elaborate with the video if youre so inclined.
That's fine, video was me just speaking for 15 minutes this morning. Just go upset waiting 15 minutes for a game that was over in 5 minutes.
Just finished watching. As I've mentioned in other threads, Nathan has stated that they have marketing plans in place to bring back more players. I think they're waiting for the game to be in a better state to do so, so that they can make a better (second) first impression. However, I do completely agree with your ideas concerning different match types. We need something in the 5v5 or 10v10 area. These would be handy even if the game has some magical population explosion. I do like the idea of a constant match. Really good ideas. I just don't think it's as doom and gloom as everyone else says.
Thanks, I understand they want to get the game into a better place, my only problem about that is will the game recover to bring the player numbers back. Once a game gets a bad reputation it can be its death.
Game is it Beta with a price tag of 50+ .Different match types are not going to help much right now.They are great ideas to implement later perhaps. However i have to say i disagree with you on the matter of playtime required to make a "valid opinion".A good game will make a great opinion on a player even in 2 hours .
I think that this game is a mess in general. I really hate when I'm going to start a PvE map and I enter in the game with another two guys but the lobby says that there is 0 people waiting in the queue, of course they aren't waiting in the queue, THEY ARE WAITING IN THE ROOM BUT NOBODY OUT CAN HAVE A CLUE OF IT. The lobby needs a screen info instead the confusing lobby system that we have now. As an example this pic from a game that I don't even know but that have thing that I want to see in a lobby shooter like EC: Map, races in battle (even guilds/chapters in it), mode of game (PvP should be in the same screen that PvE), players playing the map and the space left for the maximun number of player for posterior join, timer of the battle or some kind or way to know how much time is left (I entered in games ending a lot of times)... And for sure much more needed info before enter in a game that is going to make you waste your time.
Rainbow 6 and The Division have both come back from pretty terrible feedback. Ubisoft listened to the players and fixed a lot of stuff in both games. Both games will have it's second year of DLCs and their populations are increasing. Even Destiny has done much better after having a very poor launch. I do think EC can come back. But they're going to have to advertise a release of EC 2.0, not just a few patches. If at some point people say "It's gotten better.", it will have some trickles of more players over time, but if they release a 2.0, people will be curious and try it with a population explosion that will help even more. Which means the population will be low for quite a while until they can finish the game. The problem now is queuing big groups vs pugs and having the pugs be outnumbered, or queuing pugs vs each other and having the groups be left out. There's just not enough players for a normal system to work right now.
