Lobby Time

[FanTaSiX3]

I think that there should be less time spent in the lobby and more time spent on playing 5:00min is wayyyy too much to be in a lobby I think it should be cut down to 3min at most. This would make the games shorter and we could fit in more games in less time. The MCTIMV servers did it and it is way more convent for the players. Like this post or replie to get this idea to the moderators and admins. It will also help the non-donors by cutting the time they risk to get kicked in half and the admins can't see this post if it isn't liked enough Thanks!

I agree, i think it should be shortened. The games fill up almost as fast as they go back up. They just sit there for 5 minuets running around lobby doing nothing. However, i don't think it should be below 3 minuets.

If my thought goes through it will have to be shorter

5 minutes is a perfect time to wait. It gives me time to browse the forums, eat my breakfast/lunch/dinner and do other IRL things. You have to remember that sometimes you join a lobby and you only have to wait 3 minutes.

Quit being impatient and go do something else for five minutes next time you're in lobby. And just because TIMV made the time 2 minutes, doesn't make it good... everytime I play that I'm constantly having to hurry to do whatever it is I've been waiting to do, and I usually come back to see it's already started. :/

I agree, when you've waited 4+ min and get kicked or get killed very early and join a new lobby it's kind of like wating 10 minutes just to play a ~15 min game.

I think that anyone complaining that they need the lobby time to do other stuff should shut up. These are servers to play SG on, not servers to stand around for 5 mins in some lobby while doing other random things. If you want to go to the bathroom or do anything that couldn't be done in 2-3 mins, then just leave. If you're a donor, you don't even have to worry about not being able to get into lobbies at the busiest times. People that do this shouldn't waste time and space for those willing to play as soon as possible, and willing to have shorter lobby times.

Lobby time is fine as is. I need the time to wind down from my rage at last matches crippling defeat
In all seriousness, I need the time to preapare, use the bathroom, and team. 5 minutes is perfect. Leave it as is. Also, this is another suggestion that has been denied 30+ times.

Static has said what needs to be said (but in a VERY harsh way). I think 3 mins is the perfect time considering the games is average15 minutes long. Mod read this now.

Unfortunately, James D. is going to see this, disagree, and lock the thread. Bet on it.
