Mixed factions makes the most sense from a logical perspective. If there were 2k plus people on all the time a lot of the queue time and team composition problems would be much easier to solve. For our low pop and to make it easier on the Devs to procure balance, mixed teams should be implemented.

Mixed teams would allow for:
• Quicker queue wait times
• More balanced teams
• Easier to backfill

The poor Devs man, if there are 800 people on in t4, how many of them are actually queueing SC's', 50, 75, 100? That is a pretty small pool to use to try and build teams across multiple scenario maps. I mean, if SC's were popping consistently and the games were pretty balanced, wouldn't that be awesome?

Long waits in line were inevitable.
I don't know why you're surprised.
If you want balanced groups in SC, waiting will be the norm.

As for mixed faction SC, it made some sense in ranked, but in regular SCs, I would definitely advise against it.

+1 please no mixed faction

Regarding the new system if the aim is to match premade with each other why not make them ranked only?
Could revive ranked + if everyone solo skirmish sc will be more fun and instant proc

New interface is cool and it's great if Cities can be open for more, it's however taking too long to tag
Tagging on the class needed, bonus will often disapear before proc
Facing premades with slow healers or non-guarding tanks didn't make it better :p
One sc, was a fun 2vs3 but it closed for unbalanced teams, not sure it was the same before
Another started 5vs4 and ended 5vs7 but all others sc were cool

With low population the server has mixed comps in scs are the most logical thing to do for healthier matchmaking and it will only cost some RP/lore value for me that value is 0

Yesterday I attempted to test the system (film at eleven) and got into six SC's. Each was balanced according to archetype and three of them constituted actual good fights.

The time to get into an SC ran longer, or course, my average was two SC's per hour. Such a wait time was predicted, however one can not judge a system's success after one test. I am optimistic, I believe the balance-change system will have a positive impact.

Mixed faction is the best solution you could go for, it was alreay good for ranked.
Unfortunately to many boomers care more about "lore" than having better games.

Yepp I would also rather have mixed scs for more balanced and faster pop but I take what I can get these changes are still really good.

I agree. Many players would rebel against this change however.
