@Anastasiuss But... where do I map my steering wheel? ;)

[Paul_Inouye @Paul_Inouye]

To the HOTAS players out there. I don't, and have never played MW with a HOTAS. I'm always mouse/keyboard. I took a look at the current HOTAS support and will be looking into improvements in supporting HOTAS properly. These will be baby steps moving forward.

@Anastasiuss @MW5Clans Big team effort but appreciate the comment! :D

[Paul_Inouye @Paul_Inouye]

And just a little background, I'm a huge sim fan. Racing/Flight. More focused on flight. I DO use HOTAS for flight sims (MSFS/DCS/IL2) with over 1400+ hrs in DCS alone. (Yes, I'm an F18 scrub). I feel the pain of HOTAS players and will do what I can to get things working!

My first priority toward this goal is proper axis assignment rather than this select a profile approach. Again, with limited resources for this feature, updates will be spread across various patches for the game.

[Paul_Inouye @Paul_Inouye]

@lubertdas @russ_bullock It's mostly budget and how you like to use HOTAS. Some people like to have a big dead zone to keep stable easier, while others want minutia in the movement throw of a joystick from center. It's definitely a rabbit hole. :)

[Paul_Inouye @Paul_Inouye]

@lazygamereviews Oi! What are you doin printing our 'Mechs? ;)

[Paul_Inouye @Paul_Inouye]

So... #mwo Match Maker prime time Pacific.

Longest wait time: 267s (4.45m)
Average wait time: 140s (2.33m)

Average PSR separation between teams: 172

At current settings, we have drastically shorter wait times and still maintaining fairly tight skill separation.

[Paul_Inouye @Paul_Inouye]

@russ_bullock @BrioS_BRxV @dbsmwo MM Update... Longest wait time 282s (4.7m) and that's across the entire population. Average wait time 158s (2.6m).

Average skill difference between teams climbed to 166.

[Paul_Inouye @Paul_Inouye]

@BrioS_BRxV @russ_bullock As the monitor is still ticking downward with match kickoffs... it's trending downward... looking at live times... seems to be kicking off matches at about 160'ish seconds (2.7m) now. Will see if it settles out.

[Paul_Inouye @Paul_Inouye]

@dbsmwo @russ_bullock @BrioS_BRxV 7 min average? Where did you see that?

[Paul_Inouye @Paul_Inouye]

@russ_bullock @BrioS_BRxV Last 128 matches... longest wait time 389s (6.48m).. average 218s (3.63m). Average skill gap between teams 123. Long wait times, tight skill separation.

Now cutting time in MM before releasing to a 2 tier separation (Tier 1 can play T3) from 2 minutes to 1 minute.

[Paul_Inouye @Paul_Inouye]

@NoGutsNoGalaxy Just a note, watched a 4584avg VS 4606avg match kick off. Took 275 seconds to match up.

And now a 4200avg VS 4193avg just kicked off with a match making time of 505 seconds.

You can see how this goes with tightening restrictions.

[Paul_Inouye @Paul_Inouye]

Some metrics for #MWO. 16 days (since patch) of player counts in each tier.

Also clamping tier separation in the MM to make use of these new numbers.

[Paul_Inouye @Paul_Inouye]

@NoGutsNoGalaxy No. It's such a big number that when scaled with all other columns, all the other tiers become invisible.

[Paul_Inouye @Paul_Inouye]

Just updated the PSR post with the planned release date which is Tuesday, June 30th.

[Paul_Inouye @Paul_Inouye]

As mentioned, the update is now on the forums with a breakdown of the new PSR calculation as suggested by the community in the new "Core 2C" system. Full details can be found here: https://t.co/Gue12qhgBP

[Paul_Inouye @Paul_Inouye]

Full update tomorrow... spoiler.. 2C is up to the plate.

@Codiene42 @NoGutsNoGalaxy @russ_bullock Now there's the conundrum. If you weight those 3 elements heavily, you are now going to penalize players playing the game mode, players in lighter less damage capable 'Mechs.
