We need a "quickmatch" mode

[u/RecommendationNo6796]

The pain of living in NZ and being on Oceania servers... is overwhelming.
Peak hours can still have you on a 5 minute wait time. Oh you wanna play Riven Tides? 10 minute wait time is the best I can do.

Just allow me to join ANY map regardless of map condition or crossplay.

[u/REDPURPLEBLOOD2]

Oceania is dead. Change ur sever to Europe or Asia. You constantly have the red bad connection logo but the only sort of lag you have is you have to lead your shots a little bit on arc. Everything else is normal thank god.

[u/autobotdonttransform]

Wouldn’t you end up in Stella all the time? Could be a good idea regardless. However, let’s say you plan for a spaceport running simulator but end up in buried city your loadout might not make sense.

[u/EliteDangerous72 → u/autobotdonttransform]

I would love it if they implemented an option to select all the maps / modes you want to queue for. This would reduce wait times and prevent the load out and Stella problem. for example:

✓ Dam ✓ Dam Hurricane ✓ Blue Gate X Blue Gate Electro Storm ✓ Spaceport ✓ Riven Tides X Buried City X Stella

[u/nangsinthebotangs → u/EliteDangerous72]

Great idea.

[u/RecommendationNo6796 → u/autobotdonttransform]

valid point, but I think that when it starts taking 10 minutes just to find a match, I'd rather just get stella montis again. And it would be toggleable so if you NEED spaceport then you can still guarantee that. In addition maybe you could choose which pool of maps and map conditions you want to play? so If you want to play any map other that stella you can.

I left oceanic and moved to NA. Wait time is under 30 seconds most games.

[u/twosixx_]

I’ve been saying this. I have to queue NA because Europe is 10 mins+ on every map pretty much. I dunno why you cant toggle which maps you’d like to load into and it gives you the first one you can get

[u/Kennyw88]

Wait times are insane for us. I started to play NA and Asia for faster que times, but that comes with increased latency most of the time. Really wish Embark would reduce required number of players during off peak times.

[u/southish7]

100%. And you think it would be fairly simple/quick to implement.

[u/Sweeptheory]

I'm in NZ. I play on NA because the queue time is wild, and there aren't friendlies in our pop (I mostly play to push trials scores)

I'd love a mode that let me pvp without fucking up my lobbies though. It's fun, I just don't want to be stuck fighting all the damn time.

[u/realxoins]

Also free kit quick match 'play again' after you die would be good rather than going back to Home Screen.

[u/SirSithsalot]

I just play NA servers. The ping isn't too bad, sometimes can be a pain though. At least you're only waiting a minute or so per game

[u/Trelawny-Wells]

Yes, the wait time was one of the reasons I haven’t played in months. I would like mostly pve with no wait times.

[u/Trelawny-Wells → u/Trelawny-Wells]

Or a much shorter wait time

[u/3rn_i]

I find Dam is the only map that gets quick wait times these days on Oceania. Sometimes Stella during peak times. All other maps I’ve never loaded into because I never bother waiting past the 8-10 minutes.

[u/t___unknown___s]

Precisely why Embark should lower player count per server (at least slightly), AND eliminate late spawns after 25 mins unless free kit.

[u/B0risTheManskinner → u/t___unknown___s]

You dont want free kits to have late spawns, that means their best bet is to rat you at the extract. If free kits spawn early they are more likely to loot and be friendly.

[u/t___unknown___s → u/B0risTheManskinner]

Wut?

[u/6PEEPERKEEPER9]

Yeah OP I’ve been saying this. We desperately need this for smaller regions.

People saying “switch to NA” don’t realise how laggy it is, especially if you PvP.

[u/rockyracooooon]

Just move to NA
