When I choose "Play as Monster", it doesn't load me into any lobbies

[Stanley_marsh4]

When I choose "Play as Monster" and click "Find Match" no one pops up in the server, it's just me. But right after, when I click off and choose "Play as Survivalist" a ton of people join... Why is that?

broken matchmaking system

I main as monster [Which in appearance gives you more exp]
And I also dislike the long wait time for play as monster (My only advice is if you have another screen like a TV watch YouTube or a movie while you wait)

yeah it'll take a pretty long time if you unlucky enough. if you're lucky you can instantly get player a lot.

Because since Phase 3, you can guarantee yourself a spot as the monster. As you can guess, this means everyone will want to queue for monster - meaning that it takes a long time to get into a match. I hope they change it back to randomized in the next update, because that will make it a much better experience overall and increase the anticipation about whether you'll be selected as monster or not.

I think that play as monster and play as survivor should remain in the game but as an option (Quick-play) but they should put back the lobbies system for those who don't want to choose (Quick-play)

Being randomized is pretty bad imo as some people might quit if they dont get monster. I would appreciate if there was an actual queue system where it said your spot in the queue/estimated time.

It is obvious the match making is broken. Some people that have popped into my stream want to play with me, but cannot join my lobby no matter what. But my girlfriend who lives in the same house as me can join my game NP. It's a networking issue with some bad back end rules.
