    How do I avoid long queue times for missions?

    Hello!

    How do I avoid long queue times for missions? Today I had one waiting queue of 45 minutes, but another one was just for about 3 minutes for an invaded story mission.

    1) What factor does the difficulty level have on the available players / agents?

    2) How do I know which missions are "trending" right now and which ones are avoided by other players?

    Thank you!

    Invaded missions probably have the fastest time because people are trying to clear them out every week. Challenging Qs are always almost instant for me except in the wee AM hours. Heroic Qs can be 5-15min, but they completely die in the early AM. The veteran playerbase probably isn't playing below challenging very much, so the lower difficulties might have longer Q times.

    BioXTC and xcel30 both bring up solid points. Especially when talking about difficulty on Invaded missions, you're likely going to have a lower population for the Story difficulty since most are re-running them to clear rather than going through for the first time.

    I play challenge difficulty and usually just go from mission to mission spending no longer than 60 seconds on matchmaking until I get a bite. Then after trying most missions I go back to the handful that I found players. Targeted loot can also have a bearing on which missions are being favoured where if you want to leave the group at the end, you better be quick or you will find yourself back at the beginning with the same group.

    Play a different game. This one is kinda stale right now. A lot of people are on break until Gear 2.0 comes out.

    There should be a Class Action Lawsuit regarding this. If they think they are going to roll out 2.0 fixes and charge people for Year 2 Pass, I'm calling a Lawyer
