It’s been fun while it lasted…
RIP Predator hunting grounds.
Myself and people I know still have 8-10 minutes. Not sure what’s up with yours.
It is around 8 - 9 for me too but it used to be 5-7 when the game peaked.
I am just seeing that its getting worse day by day…
Here is my current waiting time… and counting
You think this is bad? Haha I guess you weren’t around in the beginnings of the game with 16+ minute queues AND the infinite timer bug.
Well no I wasn’t.
I ve been playing this game close to 10 months now though and this is the first time I see these times…
I actually spear bad FT and let them call reinforcements just to make the wait worth it :P
Yeah it was really bad for a few months after launch. Probably what forced alot of players away early on.
Although, yeah I remember the streamers that I used to watch talking about the 30 mins wait lines for Predator! The thing is, when I started playing, I was playing exclusively as FT so I didnt have to deal with that.
I ve been playing as pred for 4-5 months now and it usually was 5-8 mins wait.
And counting…
This is the first day I have such long wait times, mind you!
Lately it has been 9-11mins, but today its over 13 steadily…
Now that I think about it, its possible that everyone is playing private matches just to check the new hunting modes. I hope its that.
Also take into consideration that every time a predator is added the queue times shoot up for awhile because people want to play the new stuff.
For me it takes around 13-15 min, im EU btw… i think its lower for Americans n shit…
XD mate if i knew this was going to be Player 2 Player matchmaking i wouldn’t buy this game at all…
I thought it would have dedicated servers that open up and pull the players in to play.
Also another downside to P2P is if u piss of someone who knows how to DDO’s you are pretty much dead… he/she will ddos ur entire router and ur fucked…
I mean 8-10
Is still really bad but I see what you’re saying lol
8-10 following a new pred drop? Not really considering past predator additions and their effect on queue times.
After CH was introduced queues were 14+ stateside.
If it goes 2 minutes over the estimate just cancel and requeue, still works for me
But that means I abandon at 12 mins and wait at least another 10mins. As if that wasnt enough, I often get an empty lobby.
Doesn’t it always do this though? When a new Predator comes out fire team members jump over to play predator and when new fire team comes out predators jump over to play them, it’ll balance out again and 15 minutes is definitely not average
You’d think that yes but normally when I do it I match make faster the second time. “Normally”.
So 8 minute queue, 10 minute wait, cancel and usually 4 minute queue instead of…well, I’ve seen them hit 45 minutes.
I see. I ll give it a try, thanks! : )
