[P0RT] Admiral_H_Nelson Players 3,808 posts 20,427 battles Report post #1 Posted March 9, 2019 Earlier this evening I pressed the battle button and realised that I had forgotten to add camo to my ship. "No worries", I thought, "I'll just leave the queue" Therefore I positioned the curser so that I could click the "Leave Queue" button as soon as it appeared. You can guess what happened. The queing screen appeared and I frantically clicked on the "Leave Queue" but was taken straight into battle. Please Wargaming, gives us a window of opportunity to quit the queue when we enter it by mistake. Show the queing screen for a minimum of, say, 5 seconds so that we have time to exit the queue. 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Show the queing screen for a minimum of, say, 5 seconds so that we have time to exit the queue. I hate when that happens, but I understand why it's so. The match maker tries to make the battles happen, within its parameters, as quickly as possible. Sometimes you joining the queue is what gets a battle going, hence no opportunity to leave. Whatever window of opportunity you were given, the longer the wait for everybody in the queue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BS4] SeaWolf7 Players 1,730 posts 9,395 battles Report post #6 Posted March 10, 2019 Yup have mentioned this before , bloody annoying. Why is everyone in such a hurry?? A set 5 second limit wouldn't hurt... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[THESO] asalonen Privateer 761 posts 14,143 battles Report post #7 Posted March 10, 2019 How often does it really happen, and how big is the tragedy? What would make sense is changing the UI so that the mistake is less likely to happen. Say changing the "Battle" button to say "Join Random", "Join Co-op", etc. This brings the us to the larger topic of port UI design. It's awfully cluttered, poorly organized and sluggish. It's ugly and unattractive, unlike the game itself. The kind of result that you get when you keep adding stuff but never take the time to rethink and reorganize. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyKing Players 279 posts 6,224 battles Report post #8 Posted March 10, 2019 it would be really helpful. like you've put all the camo, flags, premium consumables on your ship. then you click battle only to realise you've set it to co-op by mistake Dx 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love the reponsability dispersers, its your ship, your game, own up to your carelesness and play that game without camo-flags, and next time remember spending those 5 seconds looking at the stats to see if you remember everything. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[DK-CP] NothingButTheRain Players 6,338 posts 13,636 battles Report post #17 Posted March 10, 2019 When this happens, I hit ESC like no tomorrow (usually will end up at the screen asking me if I want to log out) as sometimes I accidentally enter a wrong game mode by accident. Usually I will notice in time but like a week ago I accidentally entered a random battle with my Jutland with no upgrades, no skill commander (no skills selected yet) and stock But at least I had a camo mounted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OhMyDiddlyDais Players 53 posts 18,683 battles Report post #19 Posted March 10, 2019 Personally i completely agree that it would be very nice to have that window of opportunity to cancel, if for no other reason than what is the point of having a button to cancel if you can't use it? Similarly when you finish a battle and click go to next battle, having the game check and warn you that you've just used your last camo (or other consumable) would be much appreciated, just a little thing but it's happened enough times that it I feel it would be a nice improvement, and that wouldn't affect anyone else's wait time either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be nice, but it's inevitable that somebody joining the queue make battles start. For that somebody there's no cancel. Sometimes it's you, but most of the time you're among the majority waiting the somebody to come. I think it's understandable, fair and no big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Decided a week later to play my Lightening, got detected but no number of ships shooting me??? then the penny dropped 15 point commander with no skills associated 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[P0RT] Admiral_H_Nelson Players 3,808 posts 20,427 battles Report post #24 Posted March 18, 2019 *UPDATE* I've created a ticket highlighting a bug. I was taken into a Random Battle when I had Co-op selected. I went straight into battle with no time at all provided to press the "Leave Queue" button. I could have avoided this if I WG provided a decent amount of time for the player to press the "Leave Queue" button. (And before you ask. It was a horrible experience, even though I was not a disaster in it.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
