Some times it takes really long for a hosted game to fill up with other players. Because of the long waiting time I do something else on the computer like browse the web without knowing and almost forgetting that i started a game. before you know other players are leaving cause they thing i am AFk. A simple solution is a sound when some one joins the lobby as long people have there sound system turned on they will know some one joined the lobby or a popup could also do the trick. I know it's just alpha but its a simple programmable function.
Hope to see (hear) this in the next build. So simple but effective against people who are forgetting to check the lobby in long waiting periods.
Very much agreed, only needs to be simple but audible, I find the sounds to all be very quiet right now.
Technically this only makes noises on new chat messages, but it's been working really well for me :mrgreen:
