    So I noticed the games take a bit too long to start in my opinion so I was thinking can the time for a game to start get lowered to like a minute or min and 30 sec. Just an idea because I dont like long time to wait, also allows more games

    The more time it takes is because the game has to get enough players.

    The countdown only begins once a certain amount of players have joined. (not sure on the amount)
    So yes, I agree with you.

    54 players on with 3 servers in use. Knock out 2 of the server instead of having 7? That way it would condense the player stream into a few servers, hence decreasing the amount of time it takes to start the match.

    Yes this would work but a lot of players love FpsHG. But if you knock off two servers it could lead to some more waiting. If there are 7 servers and two get taken off and four are in progress then that means players will need to wait to actually get into a servers plus if you take two from seven you get five. So five servers for FpsHG? I don't think this can work without players needing to wait to get in a FpsHG server.

    I don't think knocking off servers would do much. When you are looking for a server to join, you don't join a random server and hope there are people there. You join the server with the most people, either by seeing which one that is or by doing /play fpshg. That's why when there are 3 running games and people are looking for games to start, there is one server with 30 people and the other starting servers have 1 or none.

    The start time is fine as it is... Just be patient...
    Patience is a virtue and if you can't wait a minute for the game to start, then the problem may be with you and not the servers...


    I mean no disrespect in saying that... to anyone...

    ok so you're saying waiting 3 minutes for a game that only needs 8 people is a short time? because 8people join a server in like half a minute

    It is NOT 3 minutes...
    And 8 people is a poor game... You need more than that...
    I am just getting the drift that you are impatient...

    I like the current time. It gives you time to set up a team. And only havinh 8 players to start is a bit low, 15 is fine.
