I enjoyed these but never could get into Dr. Kane's House of Horrors. Maybe there will be some way of changing it make it easier to get into. Everytime I tried it said the wait time was about 4min but after an hour I gave up and so never got in.

the wait time on all LFG trials is an average, which counts preformed or partially preformed groups which are only on queue for less than a second and solo people who have been waiting 30+ min

since the trial required ONLY 4 people many poeple just preformed groups

It also matters what server you are on and if its peak time or not. On Freedom I was getting into a trial 1 second after joining the queue pretty consistently or awhile.

Now it probably takes a while since I'm sure most people have run it enough to get what they wanted out of it.

Depends what server you are on. Red-side on Defiant you could grow old and die waiting in the LFG queue for a DfB or Kane trial.

Good job the Winter Lord event has been changed to an LFG queue with a minimum of 12 players

i could see the reasoning for this though, due to how the event worked it was extremely tough to do on a team size smaller than 8 unless you were seriously packing the debuffs

i think it will overall be easier to get together though due to being in the queue so you could prepare for it easier instead of having to kill a bunch of GMs to spawn a present

I often used this to start Kane trials, even if it was just me in the team

So, since it was tough to do, therefore it should be changed to easy to do, but hard to even get into on a lot of servers? Can't say as I'd agree with that reasoning.

I *liked* trying to do this with teams of 3-5. I really liked succeeding with such odds. But I loved being able to try solo if it pleased me, or as a duo, even if it was an utter wipeout. I'm definitely not thrilled to hear about the new format for it.
