Long queue times

Is anyone else having severely long queue times? I've currently been looking for a game over 5 minutes and someone else said they were waiting for over 7 minutes.

EU Servers

    I just waited for almost 30 minutes (UK) in the survivor queue, with cross-play on. Somebody said it is because everybody is trying out Nic Cage and there are less killers.

    The problem was, because it took so long, one of the other survivors was AFK and was killed immediately, ruining the game, and now I have to queue again.

    If you have a bonus for Killer or Survivor give that role a shot, its BHVR's incentive to promote players venturing to that side when there are too little or too many playing a certain role - the role with the bonus SHOULD have a swifter queue.

    I am in a 4 man SWF and we keep getting kicked out the lobby (mix connsole/PC) or disconnecting from games. I think the servers are having a hard time (UK).

    I was going to try and get Nicolas' adept achievement today but I gave up looking for a survivor match after 17 minutes of searching.

    I don't mind too much though because killer is my preferred role and it currently has a +100% BP incentive.

    It's because they released a new survivor but no new killer. Most people are playing survivor not only to try out the new perks but also get the Adept trophy day 1. Anytime DLC is for one side instead of both the wait for that one side is wicked long.

    Yes, I hope in a couple of months they release Nicolas Cage the killer. So I can have instant queues as survivor for a month or so no matter the time.

    Remember the days before crossplay when a killer queue would regularly take half an hour? 5 minutes doesn't even register as a long queue to me after living through that era.

    I notice that the last 2 days the survivor bonus is permanent, no killer bonus, while it used to change, survivor bonus during the day, killer bonus in the evening. Seems like there are too few survivors availible.
