GUI Cue-status / Finding match (MM) GUI needs stuff ASAP

#1

See how HoN/Dota2/CSGO/LoL does it to help players understand cue-status

Needs / DB is missing:

  • Time minutes:seconds you have been waiting (have i been waiting 5 min or 10? “fkcing this im out”.

  • Indicationbar on how fast it is to find a match with your search settings (1 of 5 bars would indicate “low” / not popular at this time. for example choosing EU servers at 5am would get lower bar than usual, and popular modes would get higher bar. full bar = you find match within 2-5 min)

  • If something bad happends when connecting to server, and you get back to main menu (happends in MOBA games), then info that your previous waiting time is now being used (so you dont get pushed back to last place in cue)

Wasn’t sure what you were talking about at first, but I guess you mean when queueing for matchmaking.

yes that is correct

The whole process at the moment is pretty frustrating, but it does connect… eventually… :slight_smile:

  1. There is no cancel button to abandon the current connection attempt.
  2. It seems to wait ages waiting for the last player to connect.
  3. Takes an age to connect to the lobby once all players have connected (and most of the time it times out putting you back to square one)
  4. If you do connect to the lobby, it will often boot you back to the main menu again with no warning.
  5. If you do manage to jump through all these hoops it now seems to take over a minute of lobby-sitting to start the match (assuming at least one person doesn’t hit ‘lock in’
  6. When ‘match found you have 1:09 to accept’ in reality you have about 3 seconds.

Stopwatch mode seems worse, yet to start a match there but did make it to the lobby once before step 4) kicked in.

I think the disconnecting to menu is a bug. Has been reported.

Yeah, thats been an issue forever but it seems to be worse with this matchmaking. So far I’ve managed to play 3 obj mode matches (all on Trainyard) and one S/W at last on Underground.

lol cancelled my last attempt (about 20 minutes wait) and I have a minor penalty.

It can also get stuck in the ‘waiting for match’ state forcing a quit of the game.
