    Has there been a change to the Survival Servers?

    I have been playing Survival quite a bit lately and have noticed something strange.

    A couple weeks ago and beyond it was not unusual to wait 5 minutes or so to get into a PVE game. It usually had around 8 or so people including myself.

    Starting about a week ago I noticed that while it was still taking around 5-8 minutes to get a game I was now getting around 16 or more people in every game. The difference being every single time I now have the "Poor Connection to Server" message in the bottom left that I never had before a week ago.

    Was wondering what changed.

    Might just be a timing thing. I'm still seeing PVE games that start with 5-6 players (just finished one), without a 'poor connection' message. As for waiting times, sometimes i'm straight in, other times i'm waiting 5-10 minutes and doesn't seem to be affected by player numbers.

    Well if there was more players the servers should be full and wait times should be minimal

    Yeah, it's just odd. I never used to get the "Poor Connection to Server" message and now I am getting it all the time. I don't mind having more players I was just wondering if they merged a server or were letting people in now that are from far away.

    Funniest part running solo I hadn't had that problem in a while, now I have it all the time and since it started. I see even weirder things going on.
