So I don't know if anybody has played the new Heroes of Newerth/ League of Legends But I think they have a nice little system on their hands ( these are the only games I can think of that do it with a matchmaking system) If you leave a game, or get DC or whatever, you have I think 5 mins to rejoin the game. I think they should put this in SC2 because I don't know how many times in War3/BW I was ATing and Got dc or something and can't rejoin the game. Obviously this would be kind of stupid in a 1on1 But in team games I think it would be good, Have my allies control me until I get back.. What do you guys think?
Maybe in custom matches but definitely not in melee. Why would you want to rejoin a game that's 9/10 already ruined within five minutes by you getting dropped.
Big problem when a multiplayer game in SC1 got paused because a gamer lags or left (had to leave) the current game. Waiting 1 minute to allow this player to come back, but you know that 9,99/10 cases you will click on "ignore player". Will Blizzard fix this problem for SC2 ?
Don't you mean "Drop Player"? Anyways, how would they fix this? The only way to fix it would be to not allow so much time for the player to reconnect which will lead to more drops. And, when does the game pause when a person leaves?
2 mistakes from me : I meant "drop player" and indeed the game is not paused when a gamer leaves. When the game pauses it's because a lagger is trying to get reconnected. I meant "had to leave" (because of connection troubles) and not "left".
True IDK I just kind of came up with the idea last night when I was playing war3 and about 15~ Mins in my buddies router went out in 3 of the games, figured if he was able to rejoin it would be kind of cool.
I think the 45 seconds already allowed is enough time. A lot of people don't get to use those 45 seconds in StarCraft and WarCraft 3 because of hacks which allow you to drop someone after only one second. So, the problem is exaggerated. But, I remember back in the dial-up days that 45 was usually more than enough. If a person hasn't reconnected by then, they probably won't be able to until the game is ruined.
But it doesn't seem to work that way, because his internet went completely out, he even disc from vent and befor his time was up I already got the message that we reconnected to Bnet AND he rejoined vent. The 45 seconds is mostly a lag time thing.. you arent fully disconected during the lag screen are you?
I play heroes let me get your name later. i gotta say it i like the psr thing but it kinda sucks when your team are a**holes lol
