Change waiting time

Shorten wait times

The Hive should really shorten the amount of time that we wait when the everyone joins the game.

The amount of time it takes is 20 seconds which is way too much and I don’t understand why Hive made it that long. They should shorten the time it takes to 10 seconds instead of 20.

On the bridge item selection is 12 seconds! why do we need that long There are only 3 kits! With the combined time of 20s and 12s there is a total of 36 seconds wasted on waiting, If someone decided to max the bridge 45 minutes of the time they spend is for waiting.
I get the 20 seconds is for voting for a map but who takes 20 seconds to do so?
The Hive team I would really appreciate if you make this change. :smile:

Welcome to the forums!!

The Hive wait time really isn’t that long and plus if we were to shorten it, that means games would be emptier and would cause lag for the amount of games that are happening at the same time. The wait time is based on matchmaking and how many people are going in and out of games. Also all the games have 20 second wait and it’s not 20 seconds to vote a map, rather 20 seconds for people to join into the game as if no one votes, maps are chosen randomly.

Have a nice day!

Welcome to the forums @Avery_D0Ors ! (that’s a W name, Avery is my favorite YouTuber!!)

Anyways, I have an idea for map time. Maybe 10.5 seconds?

I agree waiting 20 seconds even after the lobby is full sucks, 5 seconds would be the best.

ArmedTugboat708, what about bridge solos
If they weren’t to change the waiting times in other game modes like the one where players can still join even after the max player count like: sky-mega, ctf, groundwars, survival games and etc.
At least make the waiting times for the one that needs everyone to join like bedwars-solo, bridge and etc be 10 seconds or maybe shorter shorter.

Hey @Avery_D0Ors ! Welcome to the forums! :beedance:
This is a really good idea. Bridge waiting times are just too long. I’d suggest giving more time to newcomers of bridge, but for returning players, maybe just 5-10 seconds.
