@SithMetal71 You realize that all these waiting times are animated loading screens?
When you compare Portal servers to AoW matchmaking, Portal maps load a lot faster, because the server is still running. In AoW they spin up a server instance, load the map, and populate the server with players, who then need to load the map data, after the match the server is shutdown.
My expectation is, that this whole process only starts, when there are enough players in matchmaking for a region, before they spin up a new server.
It is also noticeable that the wait time is immensely reduced, when you a matched to a already running match.
