What is the Arc Client?

You failed to respond in time and were removed from the "-insert alert name here-" queue.

Okay, I've waited for -YEARS- now for the devs to notice the issue and fix it on their own schedule. But now it's really grinding my gears.

The issue I am talking about is that the alert-queue CONSTANTLY switches right as your queue pops open. Which wouldn't be a bad thing if the damn game decides to immidiately hide the Join Alert window. Followed by taunting you with "You failed to respond in time and were removed from the "-insert alert name here-" queue.", like it's your own damn fault.

How nobody has noticed this or why it hasn't been fixed is beyond me. But when you have the gall to ask for money for timed buffs you better not be wasting our time. Because about 5-10 minutes of that resource or XP buff or whathaveyou are wasted in about each full hour of 'alerting' waiting for a new Alert to pop since you couldn't join the one that opened up.

I get it that you need to close down the current Alert when it rotates out for another one, but for crying out loud please, PLEASE, don't give us a "Match Found" and then just take it away again, making us queue all over again. Matched teams that got the queue popped need to be able to join it, even if the Alert rotates out. Just don't give out fresh Match Found messages to those still waiting. But for all that is good and holy, don't keep trolling us while asking for our money for timed buffs.

This has been ticking me off way more than it has any right to do so. It was an issue when the On Alert patch came out and that was YEARS back. Please, fix this tiny, annoying bug that has been around so long that it already is entitled to a pension.

sincerely,
-Fransens

    Easiest fix would probably be to automatically dequeue everyone when the alert goes away.

    Yep. Most lazy one too. But I can't be the only one annoyed by that. It's not like nobody is doing Alerts.

    They need to fix it so the alerts rotate alone, and not only when people Queue for them
    Queue can stay the same for hours if nobody queues for them
    one part of the problem
