Server/Queue spot save.

[Sergeantteddy]

Im sure i am not the only person with subpar/not great internet in the way that it goes out randomly quite frequently, i think there should be a way to save your spot for 2~ minutes after you have disconnected, or maybe this can even be a feature just for members, as everybody having this might slow down the servers population cycling, But it can be quite annoying to sit through an hour long queue and then have it go and have to start the queue over.

Hello, I am certain that if we make a ‘’saved’’ queue spot for everyone with membership normal players wouldn’t be able to play. Hence for the game would become pay to play and that is not what pro is about.

Extremely annoying. I've been disconnected that way quite a few times today and then I had to wait in the queue. I have a good connexion though, it feels weird and somehow frustrating to get disconnected just like that.

But I agree with Neva, it wouldn't be a good thing at all to have a save spot in case of sudden dc.

What SergeantTeddy is saying is different. He is saying that if you get disconnected for any reason, you have a spot reserved in the server for you temporarily. I am going to explain what does it mean taking as example my experience: I have a really poor connection that disconnects always me from the server. Everytime I want to login I have a veeeeery long queue, so I sit and wait. Maybe, just after a few minutes I get disconnected because my connection sucks, or maybe just because it crashed. Well, after that I have to sit and wait another hour to play. This was ok when the longest queue in the busiest days was, e.g., 300 people, but now it's extremely annoying with 1000+ queue every single day.

I just said that maybe if it is too much for everyone to have, maybe it would be a members only perk, but what i'm suggesting is that if somebody gets disconnected from queue/ the game, they get a 2 minute grace period to reconnect without restarting the queue. I don't see how this makes the game pay to play as its a pretty situational thing, its not like people would get excluded from playing the game, it would just allow people with worse internet to play the game more, as in the past day i've spent 9 hours in queue and 1 hour playing, thanks to my internet.

I feel your pain but I am quite certain this will never be a thing.

The issue with this "spot save" is it can do one of two things:

1. Clog up the bandwidth with logs for empty spaces - these people may have logged off or anything, they might not even be coming back on, but that empty space is there, and no one is filling it while there's a queue of 1000 people waiting.

2. Be abused by people to avoid the afk timer - you have 7 minutes, then after that you'd have your "reserved spot"

 

Nice idea, but this doesn't work with full servers, let alone the ability to code this with minimum stress on the server.
