Joining Full Servers


(colic) #1

Ok in standard wolfy if a server was full you would wait in a queue and then it would take you in when a space was available.

Is their no option to do this? I find this more then a little annoying or am I just being stupid and missing something. This is the most annoying bug I have come across I think :frowning:

No you are not being stupid, that was a great feature. Bring it back please! :cool:


(Apple) #3

Definatley bring this feature back please. Having to hit ā€˜reconnect’ over and over again is a pain in the ass.


(shao) #4

i second… er… no 4th that suggestion.
:banana:


(klumpeh) #5

I 5th that suggestion!


(SCDS_reyalP) #6

It’s a great feature until idiots start increasing the timescale to hammer the server and jump the queue which uses up resources for the people that are playing.

This is a feature which without question needs putting back


(chr0nicles) #9

Yeah put it back :slight_smile:


(skybuck) #10

Yup put it back !

I used to ā€˜logon on the server’ and then when it was very busy like lay on the couth or watch about of tv…

Then once I get in… let them fun begin ! :slight_smile:

Please bring it back!


(Cosmos) #12

Yes please bring this back!
You could introduce a queue system so you could know how long it will take to join that server.

Please Please bring this feature back.

I tried to push several friends to play ET, but they all refuse to play it anymore because they think this issue is tedious (to put it mildly :wink: ). It’s almost impossible to join the same server as your clanmates/friends, or any server at all. It takes me about somewhere from 5 to 30 minutes and a lot of clicking to get onto the fast, stable and teamworking servers.

I agree that is should be in the game, and I can’t see why it won’t. However, as a temporary workaround I’d recommend to let ASE do the automatic reconnecting for you. When trying to join a server that’s full (hit ā€œF9ā€ to connect), it will retry to connect until successful. It’s not perfect, because in the time it takes to start up ET, somebody else could have joined, but it’s better than nothing.

HTH.

Yup, it’s even better since you can still do other stuff like surfing pr0n errr… gaming news site and forums while waiting for a spot on the server. :moo:

This is a good idea, its similar to my idea of a queue system where you can view so you know how long you could be waiting.

The ā€œAwaiting Game Stateā€ is good enough for me ,iam sure if thats brought back everyone will be happy.
