    4 men groups joining skirmish

    first of all...

    really?

    You know you probably gonna find some 4 random people without comms or any coordination, both in terms of gameplay and builds. So what's the catch? You just wanna spend your time ganking people? is that fun? I only have a thought... losers.

    Second, the queue for skirmish is already constantly empty and it's hard to find a game. As soon as I see a 4 losers group joining I immediately get out of the queue and with me I am sure many other players would do the same, making the probability to find a game even slimmer.

    Please kids, don't do that, you wanna do pvp? perfect, join solo.

    Blame matchmaking, not the players. Your basically saying four friends aren't allowed to play Skirmish together.

    Yeah, it's an old problem that's likely not gonna be addressed anytime soon.

    I've been on both sides. No matter if you're on the team full of randoms or apart of a 4 man group, it's not fair and not fun. I remember bringing this up when Skirmish was on the PTS; whether or not they were gonna make matchmaking similar to how Survival works.

    It's not a matter of if you want to pvp, you should join solo, there's just no actual group v group matchmaking nor is there any skill based matchmaking.

    Yes, I agree that the matchmaking is the problem not the players. It should be possible to play Skirmish with your friends, but it is not fair to mix these coordinated groups with solo randoms. This means, as mentioned above, no fun for both sides..

    OMG, dude are you kidding me. Losers quit and run like children. I have wrecked plenty of 3 or 4 man teams in skirmish with randoms. I have also won and lost with a 3 or 4 man group. If you need to make an excuse to justify your poor skirmish performance go play UG and save yourself the trouble.

    I get you are scared of teams and want to lash out, but remember others do not need to share your opinion on a mode that is billed as 4v4, not 4 solo players vs 4 solo players.

    Op youre so wrong, their are plenty of bad 4 man teams in skirmish and also some good teams of solos. Skirmish is a team vs team game mode, those working together and communicating as a team should win most of the time. Its you solo players that need to change not the game mode. If you dont have friends to play skirmish with, then try friending some of the randoms you have played skirmish with, friend players who were on your winning team or players who seemed decent, you will have a team to play with in no time.

    I often wonder how many players play only solo in Division or only PVE. Division is a team play game in the first place and that is what makes it really interesting. PVP in particular is the most challenging part of the game. Being a "lone star" is no problem when you do UG missions and something like that, but Skirmish, Manhunt, legendary missions etc are made for teams and it is just much more fun to play these parts with a good team.

    So people shouldn't play with their friends because you don't have some to play with ?

    Merphee said it all. Blame the matchmaking. Because there is none. Groups, K/D ratio, W/L ratio, PvP rank, it all doesn't matter. That's what kills the fun in Skirmish and Last Stand. Of course teams of 4 should be allowed to queue together, but they should be matched against equivalent teams.

    Time to make some friends...stop with that lone wolf mentality. Or just stay in PvE
