    PvP Wait Times

    Hi!

    I've finished the story now and I'm working my way through the skills and faction missions, getting my cars up to a decent level.

    I'm wondering what the wait time is for PvP missions since every time I've tried to join I'm waiting over 20 minutes and I get one or two players then it goes back to zero and waiting...

    Surely there must be a better way? It's no fun sitting there waiting all day to play, surely there are other people who want to race and it's not just me sitting at my PS4?

    I've managed only once to join a PvP 'free for all' and strangely it was immediate, no waiting, found 4 players right away and I played for hours. That was two weeks ago now and I've not since managed to get into one and have tried many, many times.

    Any help appreciated.

    Steve.

    Try a different PVP lobby because they are not connected to one and another. Most of the time when i play PVP i go to the New York lobby and 9 out of 10 times i am in a PVP match within 1-2 mins...

    Bullocks or just you getting lucky. Wait times can run well over an hour and most of the time it is pointless to go switch wich lobby you search. Another issue is when driving in 3 to 4 crew and master initiates search sometimes only 1 or 2 get in a lobby, or even get split. Horrible matchmaking for team faction vs faction. Unless u r talking about ffa, you r wrong

    So far my average waiting time has been 3/3,5 hours, so 20mins isn't that bad..

    Got an open NAT..

    I usually wait only few minutes, usually I find a lobby in 2 minutes, but I know that some people report that it is taking a long time for them... no idea why...

    People like you on these forums are just complete idiots, someone asks for advice and i am only trying help because it works for me and you are stating i am wrong and talking bollocks? I play PvP on daily bases at the New York lobby and ive played over 300 PvP races since the game launched, alone or with friends. I suggest you check your firewall/router settings instead of being a MORON on these forums...

    Read my post, then read yours. You act as if my post was hostile but it is you that throws insults. People like me? Seriously, stating that 'oh it works fine for me' is helping more then confirming that wait times are looong. You sir are WRONG in evry possible way.

    Has been pretty good recently, finding a game in 5-10 mins until today; this is unbelievable!



    Playing on PS4 by the way. I have no problem playing with my Crew and the game picks up plenty of players in the free roam.

    I finally got a game after about 85mins, not too shabby in the end as I made a new friend
