"Ready" checkbox and AFKers

sort
kapsi 13 years ago The "ready" checkbox is pretty much useless. I suggest: -make the game start only when all players are ready -the ready state goes "unready" after 30 seconds, so you can't check it and go make dinner. It doesn't go unready if you're active in the battle room - typing and doing stuff. +0 / -0

Skasi 13 years ago +1337 Think of something more than that, Drone. :P It'd be mean if I couldn't even go afk for two or three minutes, 'cause that's how long the game takes to actually start anyway. +0 / -0
Licho 13 years ago I would rather just add delay after game ends and ingame ready +balancing but thats very complex :( +0 / -0
Rafalpluk 13 years ago -1 Now games start after 1-3 minutes. With ready being respected games started after 10+ minutes. But a 1 minute delay after game ends would be nice. So people have time to spec etc. +0 / -0
exciter 13 years ago Yeah the ready button is useless. So it's more useful to remove it from the lobby and automatically set a person who joines a game to "ready"... +0 / -0
Skasi 13 years ago It's still needed for non Springie hosts. +0 / -0
Licho 13 years ago On the other hand it wont harm to auto ready poeple on those hosts right? +0 / -0
Skasi 13 years ago I've been thinking that too. But then there's the problem of "short pause after last battle ended", so players have time to spec/leave/whatever. Your decision I guess. +0 / -0
Licho 13 years ago They could as well spec during that pause .. Basically if they want to play - they can keep ready and autohost gives them enough time for "short break". If they want bigger rest, they should spec instead +0 / -0
NeonSturm 13 years ago +1, but I would suggets 3 minutes for the ready button. I would also suggest 1 minutes force pause if the game ends. We will see if it is usefull, because !specafk don't seem to affect players who are only "Not Ready". +0 / -0
