Specifically... I selected a planet, hit "Defend", and was waiting in the "Preparing to Drop" screen. I saw a 2-person group queued, and 8 of us in the single person column. Yay! Any second now we'll be good to go!
Suddenly, the "Groups in Queue" columns are completely empty and there's a big blue arrow in the defend queue arrows that wasn't there 5 seconds ago. Unless I'm mistaken this means a complete team has been formed and they are waiting for their opponents. But even though I was queued with them before there were 12 players, I'm not part of the team. Why? I'm assuming the team is made up of the same people I was queue with since their yellow bars are now gone from the groups in queue columns.
I WASN'T CHOSEN! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! (repressed memory rising... 7 years old... not getting chosen for dodgeball team... wetting pants in public... fetal position required... neural shutdown imminent...)
I'm not complaining, I'm just curious about what happened and why so I can better understand how this all works.
Edit: I should add that when the big blue arrow appeared I started to think I was part of that complete team and there just a delay in the screen change... but after several minutes waiting, nothing happened, and then yellow bars started appearing again as people started requeueing (is that even a word???) again.
Thanks!
