New boss encounters are awesome. But huge problem with current map and overflow system just makes it so annoying for players.
Suggestion:
1.) Remove soft/hard cap of players per map. Make it just full/not full with number you want.
2.) Remove “join in xxx” option for server’s map, keep it just for travelling accross overflows.
3.) Improve map queue. Let players see their position in queue and give them option to be anywhere else while in queue, not just in overflow of that map. (Bonus which is harder for implementation – allow them to play on different character on account while in queue)
optional: 4.) Give players on home server higher queue priority than guests.
This should pretty much solve annoying join in xxx spam which everyone hates and a lot of people started abusing it with 3rd party programs or scripts while keeping your overflow system almost same (It will just remove few afkers from overflow who are there to join main server – cause they will be able to do something else while waiting)
