I loved the idea of role queue when I found out exactly how it would work, but the reality is, as a player playing in EU late at night, I’m spending as much time waiting for games as I am playing games and I’m not queueing for DPS.
Please let us manually switch servers on console, otherwise I am soon do be done with this game. The wait times are ridiculous, and nobody is playing “Quick Play Classic” either, so the wait times for that are even longer.
I don’t know about EU tbh, but over here in America QPC has a enough players that the que’s are relatively fast.
I find games within 5 minutes mostly, maybe 10. And im in Australia. On Xbox
Mind you this is QP. Not classic
Honestly, let’s call it what it is; unranked. That way, we all know what to expect.
It is not unranked. Unranked would be the ranked ruleset but without SR. QP has a different ruleset.
Which is dumb. Why are they still using the QP rules? The queues are longer now, which is fine, but the matches usually end up being way too short for how long the queue times are. If you really don’t have time to play a full game, go to the arcade. We even have QP classic now, that would be a great alternative (if the queue times were ok, I don’t know because I’ve literally never touched that gamemode).
Honestly I’ve wanted them to switch to the ranked ruleset for a while now, tbh. I think it’s dumb that pushing a payload 99% of the way is a loss, especially when you can swap to defense and do a full hold on the first point/choke.
Because if the matches were longer then it wouldnt be “Quick”. Its not called Quick Play only for the search, also for the duration of the matches.
Which is why (in my opinion) it should be renamed to unranked competitive and use the comp ruleset.
I mean honestly, what do you really expect? Playing at 3am on any day other days than Friday and Saturday is obviously going to see you encounter less players. It’s not like the game just came out.
2-2-2 undoubtedly compounded the issue though. I think people with alternate work schedules didn’t expect to suddenly not be able play the game with their limited free time anymore? 
as i just played in EU recently, it took 10 minutes to find a gold dps game and roughly 5 for a qp game as dps
This issue doesn’t just happen in the middle of the night - I made this thread over 2 hours ago after all - but if I could switch to the US servers, I know I could get games much faster due to it being “prime time” there.
You can do it on PC, so why not console? The only way I can get on the US servers is if I group up with 1 or more US friends.
Before role queue came out, this game was at number 12 or 13 in the most played games list on Xbox Live. Now it’s at number 18. And the more people that leave, the worse this problem gets, cos I’m about ready to admit defeat and just find a different game to play as my new “main game”, even though I don’t want to.
