How long does it normally take for everyone in your lobby to ready up

Do you always have the people that just sit there for a minute and wait or does everyone ready up fast?

For me, I normally spend a minute until the game automatically readies everyone up -_-

    Most of my matches people ready up before the 30 second mark.

    It is random. I personally usually ready up immediately if I am not afc (away from controller).

    Sometimes it's before 30, sometimes it's after. If you need time before to get together your build or watch something as you wait, it's all right. c:

    If i'm playing with randoms around 20-30 seconds but survive with friends if everyone is ready then basically instantly besides the killer

    It seems more often than not there's at least one person that waits until the last second or doesn't ready up at all.

    It's either quick or the whole one minute with the latter normally coming down to one survivor.

    Personally I ready up once the ping has stabilised for what that indicator is worth.

    I always have one who doesn't ready up.

    So I appreciate anyone readying up, but it matters little.

    Pretty quickly, unless there is a Meg.

    I usually always wait to see if another survivor is going to switch, or if the ping becomes unstable at any point (thank Entity for Dedicated Servers)

    when i play killer theres always that 1 console survivor who swaps to a flashlight at 6 seconds and they never even try to use it a single time i never understand it.

    then when i play survivor everyone readies up after like 5 sceonds of joining the lobby lol

    Depends entirely not only on others but me.

    If my layout was already done and I didn't change ideas, I usually ready up as soon as I get into a lobby.

    As for the others taking longer or not, I have no idea.

    hm.


    There's no consistency at all. Sometimes people are already readied-up when I join, sometimes they wait it out, sometimes I (unintentionally) wait it out.

    Zero seconds... in DbD Mobile. Not sure why we don’t have their lobby in the base game yet.

    I don’t know why we still need the giant wait time in the lobby. Of all the times I’ve been in solo q, I can’t even remember the last time someone tried to coordinate perks or addons in the lobby. And if people are in a SWF, then they can do the coordination before getting into a lobby.

    Most of my lobbies have at least one person that never presses the ready button.

    Depends. Sometimes it is me taking the whole minute because I am burning BP.

    Very random, sometimes everyone readies up and at other times they wait for the timer without even swapping items. I personally just hit ready immediately, I don't do switching.

    Never noticed much of a pattern honestly. But at night when survivor queues are long I often tab out and do something else so I end up being the guy that lets the timer go all the way because I’m not looking at it.

    I hit Ready as soon as the lobby is full, but for some reason almost every match there’s at least one survivor who never hits Ready and the clock goes the full minute. I’ll never understand it.

    I’m sure that’s some of it but it’s hard to believe that happens all the time.
