Removing the time counter + deserter for non-accepter + weak bladder = WTF!?

Forum » General Discussion » Removing the time counter + deserter for non-accepter + weak bladder = WTF!? 4 posts - page 1 of 1

I pretty sure Hi Rez has a lot brillant heads, but the one who had this is definitly not among these brillant heads.

Yesterday I deserted two times and was blocked for an hour, because I went for a piss after the game hasn't been started for minutes! Effectivly I had time for 2 matches in the evening and found myself playing Hotline Miami instead.

So, this was a brilliant idea if they wanted their player play other games!

What do you thing about being unaware of the remaining time before start?

well they put back the old timers

let me explain why they removed the timers

with the timers you have a certain amount of people who need to be matched with each other.
this means there can only be a certain amount of skill balance.

without the timer the game would start when the server had found 10 people of the same skill level.

while the timers are great for knowing when a game is going to start it actually has more down sides from a "fun game" POV.

and besides why didn't you leave the queue if you needed to go to the bathroom? 0.o
you said it yourself. it didn't work with a timer so who knows if you had to wait longer if you queued after the bathroom brake.

and yes there was a bug with deserter status. It's in beta, deal with it.

if you need anything just PM or ask me when I'm streaming here

it wasn't up to me. I played in a group of 5 players. I said I go to the bathroom, but they didn't leave the quenue because they don't want to wait so long (which they did in the end. But never argue with an idiot...). They are just part of a impatient generation. For my part, I still know what it's like to wait for a homepage to be loaded.
