No way of knowing match progress when joining


(Violator) #1

Way too often I will join a match only for it to end right away. Can we have some kind of indicator in the server browser of how far through the match it is?

Yes, I asked RR2DO2 about this a long time ago, he said it was difficult, but perhaps it can happen now.

Always wondered about this specific point, since other games have it.

(displaying) current maps time (in the selected servers detail pane where the currently connected players are listed) shouldn’t be too difficult to retrieve i guess … mightbe a simple band-aid.

Tho this for sure does not transport as much relevant information as the current objective-progress would. Thats why i called it a band-aid.

I would love to see this feature and it shouldn’t be too hard to implement actually, atleast in theory.

You could show the following so players can guess the rough estimate of progression of the match :

  • Remaining time of the match
  • Objective Phase
    Both of these should be requested along side with the current server information (server name, map, players etc.)

Surely it isn’t waterproof, but I’d rather have something where I can make a rough estimate instead of jumping into a game with just 1 minute left.
