    There's nothing more annoying than learning there's a prof bomb on some world, leaving your own, and, realizing that the other sever is full, spamming the button for half an hour without any idea of how crowded the player base trying to join the server actually is, only to give up and realize that you would have saved a lot of time just grinding those profs without bombs. Although it's very hard to prevent the fact that a lot of players like prof bombs and will flock to the world with one, there are a few changes that would make this kind of situation less annoying.

    First, each world should have a join queue: when you attempt to join a full server, you are placed at the back of this queue, and when a player leaves, the player at the front will join. This will give players a clearer picture of how long it might take them to join the server, to determine if it's worth it, and make it a first-come-first-serve system, which is much better than a random whoever-happens-to-click-at-the-right-moment-gets-in system.

    Second, if such a queue is impossible for a reason, then you shouldn't disconnect from the lobby and reconnect every time you try to join the server. This would remove a lot of the frustration involved with clicking a button and waiting 3 seconds for a result.

    Third, please just REMOVE THE "you are already connected, try again" message. I assume that this happens because you are connected to a server before the game checks if it's full, and it takes some time to go through all the protocols required to completely disconnect a player from that server, especially one that is being ddos'ed by the sheer number of players trying to join. Again, I'm not entirely sure what wynncraft does when it connects a player to another server, but I'm sure that this issue could be avoided if the game were to check if the server is full before making any attempt to connect the player.

    With this idea it would just depend on “who’s got the best computer and can therefore get into the lobby the fastest?????? :DDDDDDDD”, and I don’t feel like that’s a good system lol

    I mean, it sounds like a lot of work (I don't actually know how much work it is but it's probably not worth it) just for a pretty specific situation. The only time this would ever be used is for bombs. The devs are already busy enough as they are so there's not much point adding these, in the grand scheme of things, pointless features in the game.

    I mean you could say it's way more p2w right now as better ping and/or better computer allows you to attempt to get in more, or reliably connect more often. I don't think this would be a PC problem at all, and is way more fair than the current rng system

    I probably should, I was just hesitating on the exact question to ask.

    How does this favor better computers? You do /hub, you click on the compass, and you click on the world icon. Yes, it might take longer for worse computers to do this process, but it does the same to the current process. In fact, you could argue that this helps worse computers since it guarantees them a spot in the world queue. "And I don't feel like that's a good system" please talk about why so that I can improve my suggestion.

    But it's like that now too thou lol. If' you're not in lobby/staring at discord and have all the key combos to quickly get back into MC, you miss out on bombs unless you're already on the server.

    Eh, this feature as a whole however, might be useful or it might be. It could just lead to lag. A better suggestion if wynn servers could handle it would be a few servers with a raised level cap but I don't know the answer.

    You answered the question yourself.
    When I say this, I speak from experience. The computer I use is old and slow, so it can take upwards of 3 minutes to log out of a world. I can’t do /hub since if I do that and join a world, it’ll kick me for some reason.
    With how it is now I at least have a chance of getting into that world, and I take that chance. I can get into most full worlds in a matter of minutes right now, but with this update this time would change for a lot of people, not just me. It would favour those with better (and therefore more expensive) computers since they can get into the lobby much faster.
    ________________________________
    No.
    With how it is now, both me and a lot of others can get into a world quickly even if it’s full. We have a chance even though some of us have potato computers. With how it is now, it’s more the person and not the computer that matters wether or not you can get into a full world.
