It would be nice if a mumble lobby were not counted as a duplicate of a non-mumble lobby.  It's not like I can just join the one in existence instead of making a new one if I want to play the map since if we're going to play without comms I can just go join a pub.

I'm pretty sure that's already the case, but it might have changed.

I thought it was the case but last night I couldn't create a Swift lobby and the only NA lobby that had Swiftwater was Non-Mumble.

Whether a Lobby is mumble-required or not is not part of the "duplicate equation". I don't want to give players another reason to start firing 10 EUHL's at the same time, so it will stay this way.

 

Note that in the mean time we're working on different concepts of Lobbies: casual, mumble, random, group based (mixes) and ranked. This should all lead to a better experience, so I hope you give us some time ;-)

It also makes it extremely difficult to create lobbys since I ALWAYS filter out all non-mumble lobbies so I am almost always completely guessing as to which maps I will get a "this lobby already exists" message.  I would rather see a cap of like 5 total lobbies on each which would still be 10 lobbies, but I see 10 NAHL lobbies all the time anyway, the cap could be 3 or 4, or even 2 or be dynamic based on the number of online players at any given time.  I don't understand preventing people from playing lobbies on a map just because some kids want to lobby style pub on that map.

There is a world of all possible maps on one side, there is only one on the other side. The single one will fill up as fast as possible, while the other scenario takes the most possible time to fill. There is a delicate balance somewhere in between.

 

You like a variety of Lobbies where you are able to choose between Mumble, map and game type, I prefer a scenario where it fills quicker...

[The Once and Future King]

Well if we want a scenario that fills quicker maybe there should be only one of each lobby type at a time.
