Server Queue needs help

[Sadkitten]

Since there's routinely only 1 US server with anyone playing on it, and a hefty amount of people waiting to join, there really needs to be a fix for getting disconnected and then having to join at the end of the queue to rejoin. It gets extremely frustrating to wait 30 mins to get into a game, play for 5 minutes, then have to rejoin the queue when the "server closes connection" on you.

There needs to be a grace period to reconnect to a server you've been kicked out of bypassing the queue.

People need to get in an available server instead of waiting. There are often enough people to populate a new server yet many people choose to wait instead. The PING on the UK servers are not that bad.

20+ is enough to seed another server. I dont like the que system and usually go for little populated server to fill it up. It takes about 10 mins toget 30v30 going when im payient to seeding and ofc not being afk is also very important

Like last night when there were 20 people in queue for Easy but 2fg and 193rd each had 40 people in them.

It'll never happen. People have been complaining about long queues ever since the game released but are never willing to be the change they want to see.

And if you get EAC kicked, just rejoin no matter what the queue says and you'll rejoin instantly, the browser takes a long time to update.

I'd love to seed another server but typically I see Easy full, a GER/FRE only comms, and the 401 UK server up with no players anywhere else. I get the queues, but if you get dropped you should get a couple mins to rejoin and skip the line. In the case I was talking about I tried rejoining the game immediately it said 0/0 in queue, I got disconnected from the queue then put at the end behind 20 people again.

Limit the ques to 5 people. Problem solved.

Another possibility is to keep the long ques but have occasional messages pop up asking waiting players if they would like to switch to another server that has room and is filling up. I think people will often change their minds and go to the alternate server. Sometimes a simple suggestion is enough.

Also, they need to fix the server menu refresh button. It hasn't worked for me since the last major update.

queues were one of a few things that killed the player base. When a game is struggling to retain players and more and more servers die, tribes form around the few servers left standing. Lines form.

How many people log in nowadays, see a 10+ queue and GTFO? How many servers started and died in the past 6 months cause there were not enough players or there were too many willing to wait in line for a full server? How many new players saw this scenario and never came back?

Also, as a US player, if you are not playing at the absolute prime time, good luck finding a server over 50% capacity.

Remember when it was said "the US faction will bring the US population back in". Peperidge farm remembers.

well do you wanna sit down in 20 people que vs populate another server with these 20 people and lure more people there?
