    Yeah better to wait to post it again and again weeks on after release, because obviously it's not a problem right now. Soon though!

    I'm in on the bathroom break theory.

    I'm not going to go just in case the queue pops.

    So when It pops I can finally get a drink and piss.

    A simple solution would be to have a ready checkbox for each participant; the match can start as soon as all checkboxes are checked or two minutes passed (whichever comes first).

    I genuinely thought this was a jokey-troll thread. The fact you are serious makes me a bit sad.

    Wow 2 min wait. From experience 30sec is plenty of time for a group of people to work out a strat for one setup/map. I play World of Tanks a 15 on 15 pvp game from time to time and it has a 30sec prep/load phase. If your running with friends you are already well aware of what you need to do and just need a few seconds to concur. If your playing with a bunch of random people even 20 min wouldn't be enough to get them to work as a cohesive group, so why wait 2 min.

    After the first few days of matches people with get the hang of what to do and not need so much prep time. There's no need for a long timer for a boss fight or dungeon run. If you don't know the dungeon explaining it for 30sec or 2min wont make a difference and if you know it already 2 min is painfully long.

    Load times from console or bad laptop shouldnt affect this, just like it doesnt in -EVERY- instance content. The countdown likely wont (or should not) start until everyone has loaded in, then it ticks down. 30 seconds should be the max imo... Even 2 minutes isn't enough if your PUG lol and if ur not pug im sure your making strategies ahead that will become useless and change throughout battle.

    Pretty sure it's that fun pastime of beating fellow players senseless with various pointy objects.
    And there is screams.... and shouts.... and cries of joy. XD

    I agree that a forced 2 minutes will be a nuisance. Matches should definitely start earlier when every participant presses some "Ready" button.
