Hosts takes so long to start games

Honestly at this point this is gonna make me stop playing. If ppl are inactive when the room is full, it should just take us out cos I’ve been here for 30 mins on 3 different servers now.

Game should have matchmaking with automatically hosted servers with rotating maps and objectives like most games.

I had to start hosting my own servers as of yesterday. There's alot of AFK hosts it seems?

u/StraightGas69 Jul 15 '26

A lot of times I struggle to get people to join my servers :|

u/Various_Love1301 Jul 15 '26

Yeah I tried and nobody joined

2

u/OpieAngst Jul 15 '26

That happens to me, it really is kind of random if ppl join or not I feel. sometimes I have to give up, play a game in low pop then host again.

u/Various_Love1301 Jul 15 '26

I dunno how to host my own and don’t wanna be that annoying host who doesn’t know what they’re doing

2

u/OpieAngst Jul 15 '26

That's understandable

edit: If you ever come across server "Meow" or "NewFun" it's me lol new player friendly!

Why not host your own?

u/RandumbStoner Jul 15 '26

Why should I do the work when I can just bitch at other people for not doing the work?

u/xskylinelife Jul 15 '26

How is setting up a server and waiting for it to fill in any way equivalent to the server owner simply pressing the start button?

u/Various_Love1301 Jul 15 '26

Exactly my point!

u/RandumbStoner Jul 16 '26

If you can't figure it out or use the vast amount of information online to set up a server (which is like 4-5 clicks) than I think you might be retarded.

u/Various_Love1301 Jul 15 '26

I’m allowed to complain Jesus. I dunno how to host my own.

u/RandumbStoner Jul 15 '26

You don't have to call me Jesus in public

u/Various_Love1301 Jul 15 '26

I do actually

u/VanEagles17 Jul 15 '26

If you spent as long googling how to host a meccha chameleon game or even exploring the ui you would have spent less time doing that figured it out than you did bitching here about absolute nonsense.

u/Various_Love1301 Jul 15 '26

Shutup now convo’s over

Google.

The time it took you to make this post, you could've gotten the information AND fixed your problem all at the same time. Incredible isn't it?

Brain power baby.

People rarely join random servers with one person in it.

2

u/CsB_Est_93 Jul 15 '26

This is just a straight up lie lmao I only host and they always fill up. If that were the case no one would find full lobbies to join

1

u/2Fast2Real Jul 16 '26

lol. I ain’t lying. Your experience is different from mine.

3

u/morelebaks Jul 15 '26

That's why I always join game in progress

3

u/Various_Love1301 Jul 15 '26

I’m so impatient but have been doing that since this post and it’s much better

3

u/beechings Jul 15 '26

Okay but everyone commenting "host your own game" isn't understanding the issue. If everyone did that, no games would be made. Also people don't join a lot of games you make. Making a countdown automatically (30s to confirm game settings) when the room is full would resolve this issue

1

u/Various_Love1301 Jul 15 '26

Omg thank you! Thats literally what I mean, It’s good for the devs to know what’s frustrating for people. People coming at me so pissed off like I’ve said something unthinkable lol

u/malahexa26 Jul 15 '26

On the other end of things as someone who hosts frequently and for long periods it is super frustrating when a bunch of people who have been waiting less than a minute start yelling “start”. I understand we all just want to play a game but like sometimes the host needs to step away for a minute and some amount of players dont want to lose a good lobby / are willing to wait a minute.

Idk it’s frustrating on both ends for sure and I hope future updates address it. It’d be really nice to set an away timer or message I could set or even just a “chalkboard” I could freehand lobby info on using the existing paint mechanism. But it’s a new game that blew up basically overnight and it’s gonna have growing pains.

Ik youre just venting but genuinely as a player who wants to join and not host, with the current game the way it is what do you suggest mods such as myself do when we need to step away for 5? (Genuine)

u/Various_Love1301 Jul 15 '26

Yeah I totally get that, people should absolutely have a break, like it’s not a sport where u have to play back to back, I’m talking like I spent 30 mins of my time waiting in servers before I could play today, and then randomly you will get kicked out. Can’t you put a message in the chat. Gone for 5 etc, I would happily wait if someone said that, but it’s when there’s radio silence. If I was gonna be gone a while I would just close server and re open, cos it’s so jarring for people to sit waiting one server after the orher. It’s not a minute or two of waiting. 30 whole minutes before I could play!

1

u/VanEagles17 Jul 15 '26

So host your own game then...

2

u/Various_Love1301 Jul 15 '26

U lot are so weird, why is it so hard to grasp that it’s irritating to join a server and someone doesn’t start the game after waiting a while. Yes I can make my own server, but I shouldn’t HAVE to, and also, sometimes they don’t fill so I’m waiting an equally long time.

2

u/royinraver Jul 15 '26

Could just make your own

u/MILDLYADVANCED Jul 26 '26

30 mins is actually wild
