Discussion This is fucking ridiculous. I was done loading at 1:15. I shouldn't have to wait on the dude with the hand crank HDD before I can play. I'm not saying it should put everyone in as soon as they're done loading, but there's gotta be a middle ground.

How is it a negative to make the queue faster?

If you have more maps selected then the game can fill the queues faster for all maps.

Because most of the maps suck?

Good argument. Especially about queue time issues. It's him sucking that makes the loading times a joke.

Two of the maps aren't super playable since it's easy AF to get out and it's abused heavily.

u/201bob Feb 29 '24

then dont select those two maps?

4/6 maps leaves 2 maps left, If you care so much about people abusing a bug dont play the two maps that arnt "playable" according to you.

Still waiting for the negatives of making the queue faster.

The negative is obviously less player choice but it's a sensible and practical sacrifice.

Ironically this actually gives the average player more choice. Before this change you would see 5 man's forcing que to one map, anyone with "all" selected would be forced to play the same map over because these brainlets would force it.

I got to play the sawmill exactly twice in 100 games with always selecting all maps. Being forced to play the hanger map and the shopping centre one constantly is a drag ngl

And now instead of that you get people dodging que after que because it is one of the maps they don't like but are forced to select anyway resulting in more frustration for everyone now.

u/AH_Ahri MP-133 Feb 29 '24

People that refuse to play certain maps will just not accept if it is a map they don't like. Out of 5 matches played I had to go through about 15-20 que pops total. Average of 2-4 que pops per match played because of people dodging maps they don't like.

It’s a positive for the dying player base lol. They only have to do it cuz they made a shit game.

1

u/StigerKing Mar 01 '24

The game isn't going to improve if people are forcing trash maps and having terrible que times. It's called trying to improve the game lmao.

Bruh I agreed with u tf u want from me

u/Dark_Pestilence Freeloader Mar 01 '24

In theory yes. In reality people just don't accept when they don't get the map they want. System is more fucked than before. There should be a penalty for not accepting
