Multiplayer Menu and Wait Times

I think the multiplayer menu needs a serious overhaul. The current layout is cluttered and slow.
Over half of the games are password protected or full, I think they should not show up by default. The rest of them are all cluttered. I would like to be able to sort by my region so I can pick the best ping for me.

There’s also very long wait times. I have to wait over a minute just to figure out a game is full or expired. Sometimes it feels nearly impossible to get a game and that is very frustrating to me. I don’t want to have to wait 10-20 mins in between matches. The quick match systems also take forever to find a match and are very boring to look at. Having an option to pull AOM to the front on match find would be a nice addition.

One time I sat in a ranked lobby, unable to leave, waiting for an opponent that never showed up. I had been trying to get a match for a good 10 minutes at that time and I just gave up because I didn’t want to wait any longer.

Please consider updating the UI and fixing the wait times
Thank You!

upvote because these issues are all super annoying and prevalent. uncrustable, some of us have found success with restarting AoM after every single game. Super annoying but its worked for some

Thank you, that has helped. I’ve been sticking to ranked for now as that seems to be the most consistent

Still having problems after patch. Taking a good 30 mins to get a game if I dont give up
