Im a bit of an older gamer ( im 53) and what ticks me off me the most of playing survival is the fact that when you want to play in a group and want to enter survival
it can take up to more then an hour before you can get in and play..
I can do all my household chores, get my groserie shopping done and have my car reserviced and when i get back im still waiting to be let in to play.. What the bleep is up with that?
Also these seekers at the end are a pain in the ***.. Ive been playing this game since it came out and love it except for the survival dlc.. it pisses me off big time..![]()
-The sole instance matchmaking worked well in this game was Underground 1.3 and of course Lexington. . There was endless abundant instant four man teams within 60 seconds in Underground UG. . Strangely it was when the game almost died due to loot being too stingy and the progress too difficult
I timed myself last night in solo GAMEFINDER Survival (xbox)
Only takes me 1-3 minutes max
Best play as a solo and sadly switch to console play instead. PC already lost most of its players
I dont agree at all.Originally Posted by IKILLAUNOW03 Go to original post
Ive run lexington close to 200 times and never played with the same player twice.
Still plenty of people playing on pc.
I have to be honest I queue solo to get into survival as a group. This isn't to gank others but simply as adults with a 2 hours window to play games of an evening I cannot wait around for 45 minutes in a queue with no idea of progress for a game mode that lasts up to 2 hours!
If Massive put in a player count, i.e. 4 out of 24 players found it would give me some idea how long to wait!
I heard many did come back, I only wish the success for this game.Originally Posted by MerlinMMX Go to original post
On Xbox, the wait time for groups (excluding Lexington) would be 15 -20 minutes. Which is where the 1-30 missions stand and the Incursions and Underground 1.5. 15-20 minutes is unacceptable to me and I no longer play the missions ranking up on my alt, Incursions and UG.
Agreed. there are people that group up after in a solo 24 man lobby.Originally Posted by teado25 Go to original post
Sorry I can't comment on Console waiting times but on PC I don't experience any major issues except at very odd times of the day/night.Originally Posted by MamaGamer50 Go to original post
Best thing to do is tell all your group members to disband, go in solo, and then group up once you are in. With the way it puts people in, everyone is pretty much on once side of the map pretty close to each other with the exception of the lucky few who get spread out and nobody is near them for a couple blocks. Not sure why with so many hide outs it puts people in the same hideouts, it's kind of annoying really especially in PVP.
Like we used to do with games like World of Tanks .. co-ordinated pressing of the start battle button and see if the matchmaker is kind to you.Originally Posted by TKC-dflynn2 Go to original post
