or spend the best part of 2-20 mins alternating clicks on the NWA server in the list hoping for someone to disconnect.
Or use the auto-deploy which automatically joins the server for you when there's a free slot.
FYI: Click chosen server ---> Server Info ---> Auto-deploy ---> If I remember right NWA is 62/64 (2)
In other words maxed at 62 with 2 reserve, in which case put the minimum players in the auto-deploy options to 61 and as soon as this is reached it will attempt to join for you, doesn't always work but better than what you described.

I know I'm pretty new to PR but the last couple of days have been awful...
Situational awareness is almost nil, people react too slow to combat scenarios and there is no tactical approach whatsoever. Fine, I can just chalk that up to people who might be new themselves or just not good players.
Yet there has been a slew of
asshattery going on in the past couple of days where I seriously can't get one good game in. This isn't server specific either. I've been on most of the team work orientated servers and it's the same thing (
TG, MERK, NWA).
Why? I understand one or two dumbasses joining a game but my recent PR outings have been tainted with just rampant idiocy. TK'ers, Squad members who refuse orders or generally screw up purposely, shooting in main and at friendly vehicles, horse playing, stealing kits, 6-7 squads locked with minimal members and achieving nothing, people (especially SL's) leaving squads to make new squads just so they can do it once again 10 minutes later.
It just gotten so bad that the once cherished moments I have when the wife is gone and I get to put on my PR boots - it's like stepping in a day care center for special children with guns.
Do I have to join a clan just to experience PR the way it's meant to be? Ugh.
Well, I played 4 matches on TG yesterday/today for 5 hours straight. I had an awesome time. Shame I missed Iron Ridge INS, that ought to be fun. I really don't have any problem finding decent games. Usually I play on TG or just join a random server and lead a squad.

The problem is, if somone presses auto deploy before you, or someones doing the "clicky-game" (jumping back and forth between servers to update them) it will kick you auto of the queue list.

I generally don't find auto-deploy all that reliable, and often the server browser doesn't update itself properly, so your best bet is to just keep double clicking on your preferred server until you get in.

This ^^
Every summer it's the same. Best bet is to remember who the decent players,Sls are and follow them around and get to know people.
There are still lots of people who play properly.

I disagree with your post since what I experienced in NwA is mostly lazy people; using techies as taxis/afking in main/APC's dont want to transport/people don't give targets for mortars example, but I haven't played in NwA for a long time and don't know about how things are now

Correct, and at what point did I say I wasn't? and btw you don't have opinions, you mainly type immature drivel which I manage to ignore for the most part.

So staying away from bashing other clans and everything, I blame it on all the new summer pubbers that are playing now who ONLY want to drive the shiney cool looking vehicles and such instead of using mumble, vent, and voip to work together

smiley posting here? with us, mere mortals?
i really havent noticed, any more idiocy, then what was already in the game, ok yeah there is the odd guy that thinks when having only a 50.cal gunner in the tank its not soloing and such, but it isnt like those people didnt exist before.

I'd say since January NWA has grown and so has it's admin team so that there is better gameplay, come on and give it a try, don't stick to past thought

Until now you took the time to reply to all of my post, what means you do bother about it. Maybe you should look up what "for the most part" means.
