Shuffle team vote

(smu_dog) #1

This has become the most annoying thing in dirty bomb. I have had enough of people moaning about teams and constantly calling for a vote to shuffle the teams. This is at its worst when playing stopwatch and you end up being on the loosing team with only minutes of the game to go after about 10 failed attempts. I don’t mind votes when teams are grossly unbalanced but if some people spent more time playing and less time typing and starting votes then they might do better.

As a suggestion is there any chance of say allowing each player just one opportunity to call a vote to stop this abuse of the system?

I think it needs to be 1 vote and then add another 5 - 8 minutes on the clock if it goes through and there is less than 2 mins to go. Earlier today the teams were shuffled twice. Just a few minutes ago with 1 minute to go, team was shuffled by a dick on the opposite team.

[spoiler]Any vote cooldowns are a double-edged sword at the moment I think. At the current implementation, voting screen is hilarious boop of fly-crap somewhere in middle of vast universe being barely visible, or even the least announced. And is prone for misclicking since some brilliant mind at one even more brilliant evening thought having class-switching buttons the same as vote-option buttons is the best idea ever. Hence it comes down to players to advertise their attempt to vote, which still can get barely recognized due to now chat window being somewhere more far off than 500 pound person’s navel is from his/her bottocks.

All in all, imho nay for vote cooldowns if visual implementation stays this way, yay for cooldowns (more strict ones as there are some already) once this tomfoolery is gotten rid of and dealt with. More burning issues as of now to fix.[/spoiler]

E: Or I could just maybe read through with thought. Sure 1 vote-initiate-per-person could be doable, then if things are honestly unbalanced and not just in some sore loser’s attempt to let RNG decide everyone’s match result, it’ll still be propable that vote might pass even if one fails. shrug

Once 2nd half is anywhere below the time possible for completion in Stopwatch is when vote should be disabled. No 20 second bullshit to try and avoid a loss

true, also people play like in CS and camp in Attack and still they start to Vote. If i could i would Ban all of them because they are useless are f*ck and will never be helpful in any Terms

Or just show them the door to execution.

Yeah. I see a lot of people playing tower defense while being on the attacker side as well.

There really needs to be some sort of limit for the vote shuffles.
The whole enemy team decides to be a d*ck and spam it just to get a chance for the win.
And eventually, it goes through.

I feel like the suggestion @N8o gave is a pretty good fix.
