Lower waiting times

[Voyager_John]

The 5 minutes before the game starts is far to long and just gets annoing after a while. I made this thread during that time even. Thoughts?

How impatient are you it is only 5 minutes. You can check the forums or play on your phone for 5 minutes.

A shorter time might not hurt, but the way it is, is fine as well.

lmao, I'm not even able to count the posts of impatient kids on 2 hands anymore ><

Anyway, the 5 minute brake is good if you have won a game or became second, then you have time to get a drink or go to the 'little pirates room' if you know what I mean.
As I read on your profile you are 16 years old, that means you have plenty of time left.
And If you think these 5 minutes are a waste of time, consider not playing video games.
Imagine all the spare time you have left then, maybe you even have time to study

You just did what I am about to tell you to do. Browse the forums while you are waiting for a game to start. There is another post in the Survival Games section if you want to look at it (I think it's there, and I don't feel like finding the link right now sorry) that says a bunch of things you can do while waiting in the lobby. Don't do 6 though, it's not allowed.

I do think that the waiting times can be a bit fo a waste when the server's already full, and nooone's joining or leaving, so how about a vote-like thing? like, type /wtd or /wtf (wait time down / wait time full) and whichever gets the most votes will be how long the wait is. Like wtd would be 2:30 minutes, and wtf would be the full 5 minutes. I've seen mods like this before.

 

[Stijn]

yes, but it's still a democracy, the opinions of mods count the same as ours.
But imagine, I won the games and joined the server right after the restart.
And I need to take a bathroom break really bad, and every impatient kid votes for wtd, I will be killed ><

If 5 minutes is a long time for you, you can browse the forums or watch youtube or anything else on the internet...

Just be patient.
