I know I'm not the only one, and I'm not here to complain, but I do want to hear others' experiences to raise awareness and create discussion.
1st Problem: In order to load into a game in under 5 minutes (sometimes 10-15) you have to invite a random to your group and quickly cancel the invitation to create your own group. Then, you have a higher probability of finding a game. I don't believe this is new, but it needs to be fixed immediately as waiting an hour to get into a single scav run is insane.
2nd Problem: Once you find a game, it's almost always over 30 minutes left in the Raid. Is this new? I can count on one hand how many raids I've joined as a scav with less than 20 minutes left on the clock. This reduces the likelihood of making it out and increases the PMC v Scav interaction possibility. It seemed like the last wipe and the wipes before you would load in with 10 minutes left on the clock constantly which was nice because the likelihood of running into PMCs was slim to none and you could properly….scavenge.
Anyway, let me know if you're having issues as well or if something else is busted in scav matchmaking.
