I would like to share a constructive suggestion regarding the current waiting time to enter matches in Squad.
At the moment, it is common for players to remain in server queues for extended periods, sometimes exceeding one hour, just to be able to play a single match. During this time, the player is effectively inactive, which can be frustrating and, over time, discouraging for both new and veteran players.
Given this scenario, I believe it would be highly beneficial if players waiting in queue could access training environments, such as helicopter training ranges and shooting ranges. This would allow players to practice flight mechanics, weapon handling, and general gameplay skills while waiting for a slot to open on the server.
This approach would transform an otherwise unproductive waiting period into a meaningful and engaging experience. In addition to improving player satisfaction, it would likely help retain players, reduce frustration caused by long queues, and encourage skill development, ultimately resulting in better-quality matches once players join live games.
In short, allowing access to training areas during queue times would add value to the player experience without disrupting server balance, while making better use of time that is currently lost.
Thank you for your attention and for the continued work on Squad.
