Had a 17 minute wait yesterday with a 8 man group. And in game Frame rates of 8-15... Still it was a nice thing to see even if we need to iron out some things. I don't think PGI was ready for how many of us hit the game yesterday.

I will admit it's annoying, but I'm used to being in a dead time zone :|

Yes, Necro I agree that the wait time is way way too long

solution could be a choice of "drop me anywhere" instead that having everybody free which planet to fight for. (Like chosing game modes in pug-games Conquest/Assault/Skirmish a choose for: only there,only defend/attacking or anywhere my fraction needs me.

Spawn points are hte Leo dropships, your able to hot drop anywhere in your own territory. There are AI controlled ODGs that shoot down Leo dropships that venture to close, kinda making "no spawn zones" in certain parts of the map.
But idk..

Best idea. Cancel and hit another Attack defend Pop-up. But be quicker about it. LOL

However, yes agreed PGI needs to figure out a better way to convey information to players about where planets need players and how badly so that attacks/defenses can be coordinated better so that the matches happen more quickly. Maybe a faction chat would solve this sort of issue?

A good idea, I would say having an option to queue for "First Available Defense" or "First Available Attack" with a second option for "Clan vs Inner Sphere" "Clan vs Clan" or "Inner Sphere vs Inner Sphere" would be nice.
Definately need a status to see how many people are in the Preparing for Drop lobby, After waiting 25 minutes I'd like to know if there are 2 players or 11 waiting with me. Also it would be nice to know how many players are waiting on the other side since all 24 have to be ready in lobby to start.

Not having the option of simply dropping in the first available match screws things up a bit too. The entire playerbase is now split between a few dozen different queues so wait times are going to be longer.

which is why a join first available button.
I'll agree with anyone who says its not very realistic, but to counter that, no sane comander fights wars on more than one front, and here its five fronts for some nations, so realism went out the window the moment I could join attacks on two cland and three other IS states

A "Join Now" option to add to your faction queue to whatever action is up would be good. I just want to play, I don't want to have to go through a minigame of "find a planet that actually has people on it" for 30+ minutes.
I understand this is beta, just giving feedback to hopefully help them to improve it. :-)
