First of all, I miss a way to just connect to a full server, and make the client connect to it automatically once a spot is free and you are the next one in the queue.
Also I think that when you DC without confirming that you actually wanted to DC the slot should be saved for a short amount of time. After the time is over, you should be rowed in queue as first when you try to rejoin the server.
It is very frustrating when you waited for a long time to join a server to play with a friend or someone you know and then your PC, the game or something crashes and you need to wait forever to get back on the server.

Server queues and temporary slot reservations to alleviate disconnects/crashes, yes please.

Sounds good, I’d like that.
In Blacklight Retribution they have something similar, you can join as spectator (even if the server is full) and when spectating you can chose to join (and are placed in the queue). It is not better nor worse than what’s being proposed, just slightly different. Mentioning it because I miss not being able to do it in DB.

Good idea, the system to join servers is a bit unfriendly since you’ve got to manually update and join the server. As I always say, ETQW did it well, go back for it’s system!

Actually it would be even better to be able to watch (spectate) the game whilst waiting in the queue, if this is possible it would be even better than looking at a boring loading screen.

was asked during 1st months of alpha, but regarded as “nice to have” back then. Obviously still last priority on the list?

also would be nice to have spec-slots (6 or 8) so that you could wait for a match on the server. and jump in, when someone disconnects, OR when the teamsize is changed via “callvote teamsize”
