zissou Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 This has been a persistent issue on our servers but seems to have increased markedly in recent weeks.A server a a certain capacity eg on EU1 it's 60 players irrespective of whether or not they're in the game so when we see four or five lobby idlers on the server that means that four or five people are missing out on the fun. This situation needs to stop. If you want a pilot slot you will simply have to wait for it you cannot 'call it' nor can you take up space in the lobby. You will be auto kicked and if we notice you getting kicked automatically often we will step in and provide you with a temp ban. Repeat offenders will get longer and longer temp bans culminating in a permaban.If you want a pilot slot here's what to do take a pen and piece of paper and when joining the server write down the names of the pilots. Ask nicely if the pilots could tell you when they are about to leave (don't constantly bug them for their slot). Also keep an eye on the chat and if you see one leave then hop back to the lobby and take the free space. But while you're on the server we do expect you to play. So pick a slot and play it until you see a pilot slot opening.Edit: MarkT has made an excellent point below that if you join on ts you have a much better chance of nabbing a pilots slot!

Mark T Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 another solution to this would be to join TS, Its not required but that way you will be notified when a pilot slot is opening. zissou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScar Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 could not resist to voice my support for harsher treatment of Wannabe-Maveriks on EU1 - lets start burning the Lobby fanatics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicken_bananas Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 another solution to this would be to join TS, Its not required but that way you will be notified when a pilot slot is opening. It happens quite alot that only a few or none of the pilots are on the ts, atleast when I'm playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
