My lobby takes practically up to 5-10 minutes to fill, and when it does fill, it ends up being a 4-man SWF group. No randoms at all, not that I’m complaining.

Is this the result of this so-called “not well thought out event” that everyone has been going on about for days? Is it possible the killers waiting time has increased due to all the survivor mains switching to the killer role to get their vials?

    The thing is, people are talking about it like the queue times are anything new.

    Perhaps it's a lack of survivor because 4/5 of the playerbase is now forced to apart of the 1/5.

    Well the game has a 1:4 population that has to play both sides now for phials.
    Additionally survivors can farm phials easier and thus are done faster with the farming. Also farming phials on a survivor causes you to dernak back to 15, while as killer you are likely to pip.

    I am done with both phials and take a break until this event is over. Said that the devs never think about optimal strategies when they introduce stuff like this and those optimal strategies always break the game

    Yeah my wait times are horrific aswell. Takes about 20 minutes at rank 2 for me to find a lobby and its usually cancerous players that dont even run any petals. I think only part of it has to do with more people playing killer. We have had issues with lobby queue times for some time now but this event has only made it worse.

    To be fair, you should have thought about this when they explained how the event is gonna work. My immediate thought after the livestream was - derank as fast as possible

    5-10 minutes? Lucky. I waited 15 minutes for a lobby before giving up.

    I did not watch the live stream although i probably should have. However the onus is on the devs to ensure that the event runs smoothly not the players to predict the shortcomings and then jury rig a solution. Fixing the broken lobbies should be priority number 1. They could have disabled all rank based queuing for duration of the event so that everyone was available at a moments notice to fill the lobbies.

    I've been waiting 20 mins then searching again and again. I can't find any survivors whatsoever. @not_Queen I'm missing out on half of the event and times ticking. Will this be fixed soon so I can play killer and get my 30 killer nectar vials.

    Well its BHVR were talking about here. They have proved several times that either, they dont care, or they are too incompetent. Both is sad, but it is what it is
