Little reminder for Dark Flow

I read what you said.
You said queues now is 20-30s even at prime time and used to be instant. Although you never said about the FULL of players part here.

because, they literally intentionally do that.

They canā€™t really add repair costs here anyway, we donā€™t have any ordinary currency in the game and as such they canā€™t balance that non-existent currency with repair costs. But yeah, even in WT it just doesnā€™t work well.

K letā€™s make it crystal clear.

I used to get instant queues full of players or at best they took 5 seconds to fill up at prime time. Even during terrible times(2-3 am in europe), iā€™d get full matches in 30-40 seconds.

Now, more often than not at prime time I spend 20-30-40 seconds in queue, and get a half full match, and it takes an additional 10-15 seconds for it to fill up, and at terrible times(2-3 AM in europe), matches can take 2-3 minutes to actually fill from the moment they start.

Regardless of how you look at it, playerbase has decreased.

yeah, i get what you mean. Match took slower to fill up sometimes, itā€™s arguable whether or not playerbase actually decreased because the game just got released for older console.
but one thing for sure, todays 30s queue time are intentional.

Consoles make for a pretty weird situation imo.

Console players certainly exist, however, the majority of console players disable crossplay. If a PC player leaves and gets replaced by a new console player, the entire PC platform is taking a loss because thatā€™s one less player we can play with, while the console user is extremely likely to only play with only console users because honestly, console players canā€™t compete with skilled PC players without a mouse+kb setup.

vs. ā€œSession waiting time before the system LOWERS the minimum amount of players accepted into the battleā€

means for me

  • if there are 10 players on both side, it may instantenously start
  • if there are less players, wait 30 seconds before starting and adding bots every x seconds if no new player wants to join.

so as I read 30 seconds is not intentional, but a consequence of one team not fully filled up.

Agreed, the prices are way too high for single campaign / single side.

They need to make the factions carry-over progress to another campaign, that way you keep the premium squads throughout campaigns, then the current prices could be justified.
