How Much Has The "Lights Out" Modifier Affected Your Queue Times?

Options

I remember a few years ago, BHVR said that they were testing out new gamemodes but were concerned that new gamemodes would split the queues and probably make queue times worse as a result.

I personally have not had too much of an issue queuing for either gamemode, and I was curious to see how people's queue times have changed for them.

    I haven't noticed much change. I think maybe the longest I've waited in either queue is like a minute and a half? Maybe? At most. Which is not bad at all when the community is split between the two modes.

    It’s a little bit longer for me but then i pretty much had instant lobbies (with bad matchmaking) anyways so… 🤷‍♂️ I can wait for a few seconds more, actually gives me some more time to progress the video or whatever I am doing in between matches 🙃

    Killers are playing Lights Out and it shows. Survivor queues used to be instantaneous and for the duration of the event I've been having to wait between 30 seconds to a minute

    Not much. I think pretty much everyone stopped playing Lights Out already.

    Survivor queues seem to be a bit longer.

    The day Lights Out launched, survivor queues were TERRIBLE at night, took several minutes to get a match. But after the 1st day it pretty much went back to normal for me. I never noticed any difference in killer queues at all.

    Not in the slightest

    Yeah agreed, not the worst I’ve ever seen them though by a long mile.

    Barely noticeable but I'm glad it's an option - I would like to see the alternative gamemode reach a point where gamemodes are rotated in and out every other hour.

    It's easier to find survivor games in lights out and killer games in normal queue if there was a noticeable difference - I still find games in under a minute regardless of what I look for unless it's late at night.
