In my last 6+ matches, I have gone from a full server to waiting for players. Sometimes I have to wait for an entire server worth of players to join me. How can I end a round with 63 other players, then magically all of them are gone and I am waiting for new players to join? This is not a one-time thing, it is happening after EVERY round.
DICE what is going on? This happened a few times before, but since the update, it is happening to me every time. I am on the East Coast of the US playing midday, SteamCharts shows this is an average active player count window, so it is not for a lack of players in the game. They all can't be surfing the store.
I would just like to know why some players (like me) are separated from 63 other players in a 64-player instance immediately following a match, but it would seem most, if not all of them are staying together for the next instance.
I just assume this is because the number of players queued for a match isn't cleanly divisible by 64.
Sure you may end a match with 64 players that all get recycled into the queue, but what about the dozen other guys that were already waiting in the queue?
The guys in the queue first probably get priority. They 'took' your spot and you get to wait for the next train to pull into the station.
Of the 64 players that get dumped back into the queue at the same time I would be interested to know how priority gets assigned among those players. Random? Alpha numeric sort?
I'm with you on that one.
Posted this 2 weeks ago to report the same thing and it got very little attention at all.

This is a video of me going from a Conquest 128 player server with 84 players in it to THREE completely empty servers in a row in the same game mode.
