I too ran into quite a string of bad luck with VP and after taking some advice from others, I have had a flawless streak since. I honestly hate this advice because its against what I was used to on CCG runs, but here's the reality of it.... It seems that the first few elevator loads are Cold Callers all fighting to get on the elevator at once.

Back when my first toon was a CC, we waited for a few big suits to load and then boarded with them. I'm not sure when this elevator fiasco started, but it makes it very difficult for larger suits to jump on when 20 CC's are jockying for the elevator.

So what's the solution? Let them fight for it I guess and hang back until you can get a less frantic group. Its what worked for me this time around.

Now that my second toon is a HW I don't hesitate to run up to the platform, but before then I did find myself hanging back on the stairs.

This bothers me because those storming the elevator are probably the most in need of help, but they have created a scenario where its nearly impossible to get a balanced load.

Also, you will find that the first few loads have fewer, if any, CCG members. So you can't count on them to use the CCG strategy and work together.
