lobby waits

Sitting here watching players bounce in and out yet still unable to get a game together....
What a waste of time and money this turned out to be

Cheers bud, and agree RoN is much better, and its a pitty as this one really had a lot of promise.
I feel the team selection mechanic has made this game quite bottle necked that spoil it. When it released I had some real solid stellar game play with some absolutely awesome people.
Such a shame its not easier to just get in game and play.

Can you elaborate on this so we can share this with the development team?

Sure AmperCamper, When I have tried to log in lately I see waiting on 3 to 1 players, then when its just about to launch the game and it goes back to waiting on 3 players again. This can sometimes cycle 2-3 times over several minutes.
I have had it also enter showing the game starting players names briefly, then it bounces back to waiting on 3 players.

I have a very good internet so I'm very sure its not my end. I can keep trying for a 5-10 mins and I will eventually get a game, unfortunately more times than not its a group of solo players who run the gauntlet dying quick and bailing from the game leaving the whole process feel like a waste of time.

Like I stated before, I have had some absolute stellar moments in this game with some awesome people.... But when you don't get those opportunities and the game fumbles through getting started, Well to be honest I'm not surprised at the groups you end up in after 5-10 mins trying to get in game.

Thanks, I wanted to be sure this wasn't a bug on our end. We're in between updates, and we're expecting our player base to increase when we drop Update 0.2.0 very soon.

I/we know the update is coming soon and i am very much looking forward to it but the way it stands (and this goes for a lot of 4 player games) It is almost impossible to build a community vibe with added longevity in playing together.

2 fireteams of 4 on the same game instance, it will need slightly bigger maps to cater for this and some dedicated servers are desperately needed in order to build a PC community around this game. With communities running servers and the same people going back to the same place to play, you have a chance of this being a success for the PC players.

This 4 player thing, it's sooo console orientated it's impossible to build anything off. We need dedicated servers so people can keep coming back to the same group that they like to play with.

Please see that I am saying this for the future of the game and not just trying to throw rocks at the devs, can you all have a chat and speak about this option, it makes perfect sense to anyone who used to run a clan.

Agreed, It may not be a bug your end, however its a game mechanic that is implemented into the game entry.
Its this system that allows players to deselect from a game based on the rank showing that might not meet their liking.

When new comers buy into this game they are going to come away more disappointed than the people that supported the early access launch, regardless of any update. Unless this new update is going to change the way this currently works???

At least we had the opportunity to enjoy game when people grouped up no matter what level they had.

I loaded the game last night had a couple people to play with and they were pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cool. They’re really good guys and understood that I was just beginning. I wasn’t for me with controls now. Here is day and I’m been trying all day and night trying to get a game going. But it’s just nobody else is in the lobby my block that what was going on
