Add Joining Gauntlet/Arena Matches While in the Overworld Run

Adding the ability to queue for Leviathan Gauntlet/Arena matches while we grind the overworld ensures that we can wait in queue for as long as needed to find a match WHILE STILL HAVING FUN! Once a match is found, it will warn us for like 15 seconds and then pull us into the PvP match.

The reason this works well is that everything in Overworld is saved as soon as you do the action, and if you are pulled into a PvP match you can just resume your run where you left off.

This would make queuing for games painless, especially if you need 8 players for gauntlet and might need to wait a few mins.

Dota 2 Auto chess had millions of players, and sometimes you still had to wait 3-5 minutes for a match to fill the lobbies for full game of 8 people. This solves the waiting for queue problem for Illuvium players, and would likely make queuing for any game mode possible.

already in progress.

Awesome! Any estimate on when it might be implemented?

[crude moth]

I think probably more like months than weeks. It's not a hard feature but it's part of a larger suite of things to make it feel more alive so it will go out together with that.

I feel you, and I am sure you have your feature pipeline you are working on figured out already--but I do think this is a feature that is crucial to fixing long and/or impossible matchmaking queues for Leviathan Gauntlet and it should be implemented asap. I got several games in today right after patch launch, but after 4 games fairly quickly, I had to wait for 20 minutes reached 7/8 and then the queue shrunk to 3/8 as people gave up waiting.

People won't want to wait 10+ minutes when they want to play, unless they can do something/fun productive while they wait like grind the Overworld for improving Levaithan power levels. Especially after they play Leviathan once and see the weaknesses in their teams that they want to fix.
