No group queue in Crystalline Conflict made all my friends uninstall :(

Why is there not an option to queue as a group? For ranked I understand, they don't want single players to have to complete against groups, but some of us just want to have fun with our friends in this "massively multiplayer online" game that I have to pay a subscription to play. Am I crazy or is it mental that there is not the ability to queue with friends in this game mode? I was excited for this as it was finally PVP that looked interesting, which I have not enjoyed in any game, yet this kills the entire mode for me. My entire FC is posting how much of a colossal failure this mode is due to this one issue.

How sad.

There's a rather simple solution to this.

Put a little check box that you can check if you're ok with letting the game fill your group for you.

If you have at least 4 players in your group then you're considered a pre-made group and well only be matched with other pre-mades.

Otherwise the game will fill the rest of your spots for you and you'll be put into the 1 - 3 group. (The solo queue if you will)

That way I can queue with 1 or 2 friends and still get 2 other solo/duo queuers. Or I can queue with 3 or 4 friends and get a pre-made queue.

Simply not being able to play with my friends in a multiplayer game feels terrible.

Unlike Frontline, CC has two modes. Casual already pits top 100 players against first timers so they could easily allow group queueing into that mess, while Ranked would remain more evenly balanced option with only solo queue.

If they add group queues, I wish they'd add a notification on the party list of who is grouped with who. Nothing I hate more is being surprised ganged up on in discussions because I didnt know player B, C, and D were together. Or caught off by wacky shit. Like if I see 3 people in a group in my party, at least I can assume all support is going to them from each other and I can adapt around that information.

after watching the London fan fest Crystalline Conflict tournament and having pre-made vs pre-made i cant see how this can be a difficult task they can't manage

This is the 115% correct take. Devs are out of touch per usual.
