This is facts. Spent 90+ mins in wait time for one 12 min game for 0 elo, and one decent 25 min game. Colossal waste of time

I always wonder if it's the game's fault or just one player that sometimes got a shitty wifi connexion that broke the loading.

Like, I almost never experience someone getting out of connexion during the game (and that happened A LOT in legacy, u know with the 60 seconds waiting then...), maybe those players juste make the lobby crash now ?

Someone already asked it on the official forum ?

My experience is this, and when game finally starts there is a 1200 elo gap between highest and lowest rated player

For some reason, these problems never seem to appear in the game browser. So I doubt it's a problem on our side.
People should try restarting the game from time to time.
I hope they will fix it. I mean why do we even hop in the lobby in the first place only to be greeted by another loading screen. We should directly load into the game like in aoe 2 De or even in Tad. I mean the fact that they were incapable of getting around it already shows that their solution is probably just some Tohu wa-bohu.
My last post on the aoe forums got flagged for no reason. I called the forgotten guys unprofessional which they are. They didn't bring enough know-how to the de after all they are a bunch of hobby programmers who started with a fan patch for aoe 2. Their knowledge simply doesn't extend any further.

Anyways, I still consider tad similarly a waste of time as you have to actively search for a game. In De, I can do something else while looking for a game. The constant reinviting mates after a failed attempt is annoying though.
