Taco Bandit (Dec 7) let discuss here
Taco Bandit will be playable through portal on Dec 7-17. Based on the description, you will spawn to update backyard, steal other side tacos, bring back to your base, and defend your taco until time...

@pandareno1999 said this in the other discussion, you can do the same thing with superbrainz's kick and a little bit with the scientist's energy warp (though he gains 2-3 i frames which bothers me more).
I think this mode could be very fun to play but unfortunate i have not been able to experience it properly.
I'm at 5455 and i only get in high ranked very empty lobbies I would love to experience this mode the normal way in a full lobby and without extended cannons and electro pea's.
Nowadays those seems the only characters being used by high ranks.
So please bring Taco Bandits also as a normal game mode or drop the rank based game matching from the portal so the "oldies" can also have some fun playing this.
Another thing is that the games are too short, why not 15 minutes just like a standard game of Gnome Bomb.
I've now tried 8 times since the mode went live yesterday, at different times of the day and different US based xbox servers, and have not been able to find a lobby with ANYONE in it. Skill based matchmaking really needs to be turned off.
Ref yr comment sw0584:
I don't believe that's the problem. I took part in a game where about 70 pct. of them were max rankers while the rest were all other ranks. The account I was using has a rank of 1796. When trying to get back into the game after 1/2 an hour I met an empty lobby. That was on the East Coast server. Attempting the same on the West Coast and Europe, and again on the East Coast server, at different times of the day and alternating between three different accounts (only one of them max ranked) I still met an empty lobby. I have put it down as a bug and reported it as such.
The game lobby was empty all weekend...I never had one person in this Taco game type, and I couldn't find any players for Team Vanquish either during the day on Europe server so they broke something. Don't worry about tuning matchmaking when you have barely players left. Frustrating that GW1 is still active but they are killing GW2 completely.
Dear fellow PC players, get your dupas out of TT and into Taco Bandits! I tried to get games on NA East, NA West, and even Europe but no luck even early Friday evening which is peak time normally for MP games. Just to check I tried the regular portal for TT matches, and sure enough, instant pop into a full game.
It's not dead on PC but it looks like it if you try any mode other than TT. I really want to play this game mode too. I love Taco Bandits in GW1 and this new one looks a lot like Two Fort from TF2 (I watched the dev stream with Zero and friends). It's very disappointing to have a mode that looks great and I only ever found one other person in the portal so it wouldn't start!
Edit: If it uses level based matchmaking, that would also explain my issue. I understand why you'd want to use it but it's frustrating to not be able to play. Make it permanent and add bots to it so at least we can play the mode!
