Long Waiting Time...

Okay DBD what is the deal when you a Killer for the LONG WAITING time to search for a game? Same with survivors as well but I notice with the Killers lately I'm waiting 10-15 mins or sometimes more for a game!!! I thought these new dedicate servers were supposed to help find more games for people. It don't seem to me like they are doing a very good job if I'm sitting here waiting for a match after 15 mins of waiting! Example I'm currently waiting RIGHT NOW to play as Killer and I've been waiting 12 mins and STILL waiting....I'll let you know if I EVER get into a match but I'll give it 5 more minutes and if I don't get into one I'm gonna go watch TV or something cause this is ridiculous! OMG could it be! Could it actually be a match!!! YES it is...lol Going to go play now FINALLY! But have anyone else been having troubles getting into matches with the long wait time for both Killers and survivors?

    I have no idea why you are waiting to play killer. Killer games happen as fast as I can hit ready. Survivor wait times are always pretty bad.

    Depends on rank, region and console/pc

    Depends on the time of day for me.

    Morning to about 9:00, I struggle to find Killer games, but Survivor games are near instant.

    After 9:00, it's like a switch is flipped, because Survivor games become impossible to find while I hit ready and am already in a Killer game.

    The other day Killer matches were going fast but idk today I was really slow. It might be the time of day or whatever but you are right survivor matches do take a while. I could go to the bathroom, get a snack and feed my cat in the time it takes to get a match.

    Ditto, I totally understand what you mean by waiting at certain times for matches. I think it's mostly in the mornings when I have a hard time getting a match to start so maybe we should just wait until evening or night time to play but that's not fair either. What if we want to play in the mornings why should we have to change our schedule to play around DBD schedule it should be the other way around.
