Petition: Live Update Playlist Waiting Times

Current: Even teams are required to begin countdown.

Suggestion: Allow intermission countdown to tick when teams have a 1 player disadvantage rather than requiring even teams. (Example: 6v5, 5v4, 4v3)


Current: Intermission time is 45 seconds. This resets every time someone leaves and causes the imbalance, meaning that you have to continue waiting for balance, then waiting 45 seconds after balance is achieved to start the game.

Suggestion: Allow intermission time to run from 45 seconds to 15 seconds when the teams are uneven. If the teams are still uneven at 15 seconds, hold the clock. Resume the countdown at 15 seconds when teams are even. If someone leaves during the countdown, reset the clock to 15 seconds, rather than 45.

These changes will reduce the unnecessary waiting time between games.

Where do I sign?

Sounds much better!

Petition signed.

I would also sign.

The lobby background music does help hypnotize me during the wait though.

Signed.

Screw that! I'll take all of you on solo with mai powahs!!!

/signed

Signed.

Playing solo I have no problem with this although it may be very different with a party.

Regardless:

Signed first. Snap.

FIRST!!!

Sure

+1

Games will start with uneven number of players as long as there's a minimum of 6. So 3v3 , 3v4, 4v5, 6v5 works fine. Are you finding this isn't the case? We're adding a "Ready" button to the free DLC so if everyone clicks in, countdown will skip to 15 seconds.

Please tell me that you don't really mean everyone. There is always someone not paying attention. It should be more like the countdown skips if 3/4 of the people ready up.

Yes, everyone.

Sad face.

It's not even out yet, hold your sad face until then.

Games with a party of 6 don't start when there's 11 players...it waits for the full 12. Is this as intended?

The game only waits for the number of people in your party (the crossfire pre game launch point). If friends joined while you were in a game they are still subject to getting split. The +1 or +2 friends should be on your team but you don't have to have 6 enemies to start now.

with MNC parties, an equal number of needs to be there for the game to start. So if you have an MNC party of 5, yes the game will wait for 5 other players before it starts.
