Could WG get Coop to wait 30 secs as advertised?

[alexf24]

Coop is advertised as "waiting no more than 30 seconds"  to field a team. That is fine.

Then why on the morning do I get called into battle after 5 seconds with 2 or 3 people and the rest all bots?

 

Let's wait 30 seconds to fill the gaps, no matter what the server population is at the time. We do that for PvP where you have the choice to wait minutes or exit the queue early. Not so in Coop when you get in almost immediately with an incomplete team.

Might have been less than 30 seconds for you, but most likely one of the other players did reach the 30 second limit. So MM took all the people it could.

^Exactly this.

[Murcc]

^ That was what I was thinking.  One or two other players may have waited 25sec already.  When you logged in, you were immediately put onto their team and placed into battle.  A good solution would be to increase the wait time.  So what if its 1 min, or 2 min, instead of 30 sec.  Even at 2 min, most of the time you will only be waiting a much shorter time.  Only the first player in the queue will wait the full 2 min.

This, whenever you have a super quick que someone else had a long wait.

WG - allow me to select "I want all humans in battle" then I decide how long I wait.

I see your point. Had not thought of that. Still annoying to get 3 and the rest are bots, where the DDs ram each other in the first two minutes.

I would support this idea, though it might make other people wait more than they wanted.

[RipNuN2]

I would be happy if they went back to the 90 second timer.

[More_Witches]

Honestly, there are times where I don't even want other humans in a Co-op battle

[Lord_Zath]

I'd happily wait 30 more seconds for 50% fewer bots on my team!

I believe there is another queue for that, it's called randoms.

What a stupid comment. Are you just posting in a thread about coop to increase your post counts?

And here I thought pirates had a sense of humor....

 

You asked to be able to select "I want all humans in battle", I just pointed out that already exists. If you had asked for "I want all humans on my team in battle" that would be a different story.

I'd rather wait a max of 30 seconds and get a quick match with bots than wait a minute or two for human players. It's just co-op and meant to be for fun. And sometimes the bots are better than actual human players.

It's hard to get more spudly/stupid than bots 'Let's all gather in B cap on Solomon, and shoot at each other until only one side's left!'  but I have seen it happen a few times with 'human' teams...
