I play an a certain server every time I play, and its full most of the time. Instead of just refreshing every 3 seconds for about 5 minutes. I'd like to see a option to auto join when a slot is open. Maybe a line system could be made if a few people are waiting to auto join.

As long as you guys don't start suggesting match making system hosting, I'm fine.

But I do like how in DOD:S, well when it used to work, you could click on the auto join button once a slot became available.

May I recommend seeding a new server instead of trying to play Danzig and Arad all the time, US players?

Just for clarity's sake here, what you're saying is that you'd like to select a server which is full, then click a button for 'automatically join when there's an available slot on this server,' right?

Because if it is, then holy hell. Hansel here made a suggestion that I agree with. I love this idea. Frustrating as all hell to sit there clicking join-cancel-join-cancel over and over again when the server I want to play on is full.

Spot on. Also a little tip until they add this feature(if they ever do) Add the server you want to play to your favorites, click favorites tab, click refresh once and then keep taping the space key to refresh the screen constantly until a slot is open.

Actually, what I do now is skip the refresh entirely, and just have the server selected and hit the num pad enter key to attempt to join, then again when it says server is full. Lather, rinse, repeat until successful at joining.

But an auto-join button would be better, because then I can stop wearing out my enter key. It's already by far the key on that board with the most slop and play in it, from how hard I've used it. :D
