#Should players always spawn in Welcome Center after a match?

I was thinking, with the way the Social Hub works, I think it'd be a lot easier to meet up with people after a match, and would also increase players talking to each other in general, if players always spawned in Welcome Center after a match, win or lose, regardless of where they were before they queued up.

I think this should be paired with adding a zipline to Victory Island #1478259804693598210 message so players who want to celebrate there should be able to get there easily. Or maybe there should just be an option in the settings menu that lets players pick where they end up after a win. (I personally want this part because I want a chance to talk to the winners of a match without being forced to linger in Victory Island when queuing up, where there's usually far fewer people than in Welcome Center.)

The MTN fast travel network should offer one free trip after a match, in case you were working on bug catching/fishing/questing when you got sent to the match and want to get back to that easily.

It's really convenient for quests to spawn near where you joined the match, and I don't want to lose that. That said, since you only spawn at the nearest MTN station, free MTN travel (at least from the Welcome Center) should serve the same purpose.

With the stated intention for players to just 'auto queue' for the next match - I think that there is room for further improvement where players who (via options) opt to directly queue into the next pre-match lobby, bypass SAW entirely until they choose to leave the lobby/match.

This would give what some players have been asking to return without taking away from SAW itself.

So - to recap:

New Requeue Preferences:

  • auto-queue for next match (Yes, in-SAW; Yes, Bypass-SAW; No (Default))
  • auto-accept when next match is ready (Yes (Default when any Yes), No (Default when No))

Additionally, have the Bypass-SAW offer a classic pre-SAW welcome center experience where the map 'may' be explored.

Perhaps an option to set a favored MTN station to spawn back into the Super Animal World from?
