Currently the vote system is broken (like pretty much in every game but in Dirty Bomb it’s especially broken). Can we fix it? I’ll just make it short
-
Reduce the cooldown on votes to 150 seconds (2.5 minutes). 5 minutes is too much. Vote spam is when you call a vote every minute, even 2 minutes could do and it won’t be spammed
-
Instead of requiring a specific amount of yes votes, require 2 more yes votes than no.
(I’ll use the example as in a 7v7 server but it applies to all servers) Currently you need 8 yes votes for a vote shuffle/restart to pass. If 7 people vote yes and 1 person votes no, the vote fails. Obviously it should’ve passed. So change it so even if 7 people vote yes and 5 people vote no, the vote will pass because the difference between yes votes and no votes is 2.
Vote kicks can stay as they are currently
People who don’t vote at all, simply don’t care if the vote passes or fails. Therefore they shouldn’t affect the vote results. Why is voting no and not voting at all the same thing? It doesn’t even display the amount of no votes because it doesn’t matter atm. -
This is mainly a bug in Execution but I’ll include it here. If you stay AFK for 1 minute you auto call a vote to kick yourself (as of the latest patch). But the system thinks you are AFK even if you are downed and use quick chat and stuff so it makes you call a vote to kick yourself. A simple fix would be change the system in Execution so it votes to kick you if you don’t move at all for 1 round and will kick you automatically if you don’t move for 3 rounds
-
Add an option to select a reason to vote kicks. The reasons can be “Player is AFK”, “Player is cheating” or “Player is being a dick”. It will be displayed near the vote (for example: “Vote to kick Frosty Vampire for cheating”)
-
Auto vote-kicks on AFK’s should be called by the server and not by the player. So the player is not affected by the vote cooldown and they don’t vote yes to kick themselves
-
I think it’s a bug but almost always when I call a vote, I get spammed in that chat “you have called a vote recently you cannot call another for x seconds” even though I wasn’t trying to call any votes. It keeps spamming until I can call votes again. If it’s a bug please fix it and if not change it so it only displays the message once every 15 seconds or something
