We have tried quick match with teams. Once we managed a 2v2 match within a minute or so, then the rest of the night we tried off and on (waiting about 5-8 minutes each time) and found one player. Tonight we tried several times to get a 3v3 going and almost had it but something went wrong and all the players didn't join.
I urge anyone interested in playing rated team games to give it a try and actually *wait* it out instead of waiting maybe 30 seconds and hitting cancel. Every time we have been waiting 5-10 minutes or until it says matchmaking unsuccessful, whichever comes first.
We tried to recruit people from the chat area to come play, but this is very tedious and hardly anyone in the chat area is paying attention (which should be expected given how chaotic and boring it is).
One idea I had tonight was to create an advanced game named "3v3 quick match setup room" or something, and create teams then head to quick match and form up there. I didn't try this but I probably will soon.
What would REALLY help, is if ESO has properly named chat rooms, instead of the current randomly named useless ones. I think most people would agree that chat rooms named "deathmatch", "supremacy", "team games", "social", etc, would help immensely. A room named "quick match setup" or something of that nature would make matchmaking insanely easier for teams (both set teams and single people looking for team action), and would even help the dudes that want to play 1v1.
I think this game is more team oriented than any of the previous Age games, but not being able to consistantly play rated is really hurting the morale over here.
ES, have mercy on us and bring some order to ESO! Players who want to play ESO rated team games: Don't give up! Keep trying, be patient, and even send me a message if you see me online. Me and my friends try to play every evening so you can't miss us. Comments welcome. Thanks for reading.
