Map vote ingame.

We need moore time to set the next map :slight_smile:

Yeah, I agree x-x I get in the menu, take a sip of tea, and then- BAM. Next map’s already been chosen. Like… come on D:

Are you talking about after the previous map has ended and you’re in the lobby again? I don’t think it’s obscenely short, but yes it could be a little longer. I think the initial problem is that people don’t realise that you can actually vote on the next map, seems to quite subtle sitting pretty up there in the top left corner.

I actually don’t even realize there’s a map vote countdown (or is there?) when I’m voting for maps.

Yes, the is one. 10 seconds or maybe even less. Often I’m the only one voting, and most of the time there’s <5 votes even in a full lobby.

I completely agree. I think the problem is that it leaves less time for choosing your mercs for that specific map. But how come we can’t chose mercs until the loading starts? Why does it lock in 5-10 seconds before the match launches? Remove that please! And even then, we should be able to change our mercs during warmup like we can on the deploy screen when joining a match in progress.

Ah, the countdown is a bit too little. I remember that they sped it up so people don’t have to wait for too long but I think they should extend to 15 seconds.

I also wonder why we can’t vote on every single map? We only see 3 out of the 5 maps. Can’t see any reason why they do this. I also agree that we should be given more time to vote on the map and select a merc and loadout. We could get rid of the instructional video to compensate. Perhaps the servers designed for newcomers can keep the instructional video though.

Honestly I don’t see why they let people vote for the map when they are on the outro/summary screen (where it shows scores and such), like in CS:GO. I think it’s a nice system that could work, meaning people know the next map BEFORE they get into the merc selection lobby.

Here’s what I mean (sorry for rubbish image. Blame Google images because I’m too lazy to get into a game and screenshot it):

If people could just see the map names and use the number keys on the end screen, next to the scoreboard like this, they would actually have MORE time to select a map they wanted (longer than the short amount of time in the lobby window right now), and more importantly it doesn’t add any extra steps/time into the time it takes to get into the next game.

Just my 2 cents ^.^

@Faraleth I like that, but then they could also drop the lobby altogether like in CSGO, just go straight into the next match. Then have a slightly extended warmup where people can also change their merc setup. That would be great! Cuts down on so much unnecessary waiting.

I just hope we don’t end up with the same problem as CSGO where everyone and their mother votes for dust 11. Some people even vote for dust 11, win the vote and leave the server, fucking retarded! So yeah, restricting it to 3 random maps like it is now might not be such a bad idea.
