Magical Queue/Pre Game Lobby Request
As mentioned here, waiting for a game to start (or joining friends) is something many of us currently don’t enjoy.

Every time I go to join my friends games and see that Unicorn Queue, I instantly back out since I don’t want to sit and stare at a screen and do nothing. Being in Giddy Park with the players in that match until the lobby fills up would fix this for empty lobbies and the issue when joining friends.
Even adding an approximate time for how long it’ll take until my friends’ games will be done and I can join in would be awesome. I know this would be a difficult ask but at least the idea is a win.
As @DeAtHaDDiCtiOn5 points out, free roaming Giddy Park could be an option for people waiting to join a friend’s game and I’d like to add the option for games such as Battle Arena to allow us free roam of the map we’re waiting to start (same with any community portal or standard game mode).
It’s highly likely lobbies would fill up more frequently, if people had something to do as opposed to sitting and waiting.
Trying to gauge the popularity of this topic in case we need to add it to this.
Thoughts?
Thanks, @DeAtHaDDiCtiOn5 for this great idea!

Thanks @spIash_damage for making a post about this. Idle time in any game, especially in a game like PvZ where the player base is mainly younger, is an absolute no-no. The longer a player is forced to wait, the less likely they’ll want to log in next time around. I sure hope this gets some attention along with the other important issues (team-swapping, Rainbow Stars, etc.) and something is done about it.
I love the whole PvZ franchise and will continue to play as long as some of these issues/concerns are addressed eventually.
**I understand these things take time and I’m patient when I enjoy a game this much. I just hope all this effort @spIash_damage and others in the community will get recognized and rewarded**
