So many countdown timers

(savoryCandle) #1

Why are there so many timers in this game?

It takes a full 2 minutes to actually start the game once you’ve joined a server (from the lobby).

Do people really need this much time to get read to shoot people?

Nope, which is why they need to reduce the timers or even remove some of them.

The timer to spawn into an ongoing match is the most annoying. You should be able to join the match immediately, but spawn on the next wave.

i quite like the time it takes before rounds and during to get into game as im studying for a law degree and its the perfect time to get a large chunk of work done while im waiting,

there was an ini value u could set that skipped all the cut scense and countdown nonsense but im not sure if its still enabled or working

but yes dear lord pls put a “Press Space to Skip” option in there

Remove the deploy timer for joining a game already in progress. Everything else is fine.

When starting a new game there are three timers back to back. That’s if you’re not voting on a map, which is silly anyway since most players don’t know which maps to pick anyway because they haven’t been playing for very long.

Enough is enough, just let me play.

Isnt the delopy timer in line with the wave respawn timer?

I agree when you want to game its annoying, but when you want to keep playing and get drink or go to bathroom and not have to leave games or lobby its perfect amount of time.

There was another tread about this, not too long ago.
It even had a DEV in it that explained that the deploytimer is essential because that is the time when your loadout gets synched up with the server and the other clients and theirs get synched with your PC.
However they seem to be looking into improving the overall wait time flow. But the 15 sec deploy is propably staying for a while.
