In Discussion Party Switch Server Warning

Seems like a nice QoL idea. I would like to see the image you proposed as it broke. But yeah I can see how if you're not paying attention you can just switch servers while someone is alive and it can be annoying. Like I said I can't see the image while writing this but maybe there could be a confirmation or something at the end then the leader can just click it and they would get queued for another game. Regardless if it's not too difficult, +1.

 

Hey there!

My favourite types of ideas are simple yet incredibly useful (so thanks for that). I’m 100% in support of some sort of warning to party leaders before forcing still live players to leave the game, as this not only negatively affects the players experience but possibly putting a team in the game short players (putting them in an unfair advantage). I can see two different ways of implementing this:

1. warning the party leader, but ultimately allowing him/her to choose to ignore the warning and proceed anyways.

2. Forcing the party leader to either kick the player(s) that are still alive in a team or wait until they’re done before moving onto another server.

I’m in support of both options, great idea!

 

Hey mate,

I actually really like this idea. I am sure I speak on behalf of a lot of players who get disconnected because the party leaders either forgot that their friends were still alive or just decided to leave anyway, dragging the alive players from the games into the lobby. It is very frustrating, and a big inconvenience. I think it would be a nice QoL update that would heavily benefit and improve the current parties system.

I also thought that perhaps this could be a preference for players in the /prefs menu, so that if enabled, it meant that if you are still alive in a game and the party leader leaves, you will stay in the game OR a warning message will appear in the chat for the leader! Great idea buddy, it's a +1 from me, and I hope we can see it implemented soon.

 

That would be a good option, the only concern I’d have is the party leader/the person being kicked would be unaware of what just happened leading to confusion and possibly leading to players thinking the party system is malfunctioning.

 

This is actually really interesting! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been alive in a game where the party leader would go to the hub... This would be a nice solution to that issue. Also, the image your provided is great as well. It’s nice to see so many players putting a lot effort into their ideas, even going as far as to show us what it would look like!

Definitely a +1

 

This is actually a very useful, yet effective idea. +1 from me.

 

Hello! This sounds like a good idea, and I would actually love if they added this feature. Sometimes the party leader forgets that the party members are in the game still, so if the party system asked for a confirmation before you leave, that would be great. And since some people might not like this idea, I say it would be a good idea to have the option to disable and enable this feature using the /prefs command.

Overall, it’s an easy +1 from me.

 

Nice idea. +1 from me.
I know in the past I’ve been in large parties where the party owner doesn’t realize that there are people still alive in the game. This would definitely prevent that from being a further issue.

I like the example you provided. It would be nice just to click confirm or deny instead of having to type up a command.

Good idea overall. Doesn’t need to be a priority but it would be a nice QOL update :)

 

That’s a great QoL improvement for the party system. From my experience, the party leader accidentally leaves the server while I’m in the game. I’d probably remember it a long time ago, I think. It frustrates me inside because I was working throughout my current progress. I don’t want to redo this all over again.

On the right hand, we need to have the confirmation for the party leader before they head out to another game or the lobby. That way, it gives them heads up before they do something else. I agree with @AyyNick’s idea above to enable/disable confirmation message in /prefs. I’m going to agree with the confirmation system.

On the other hand, I don’t think it’s possible for the party leader to automatically kick anyone who’s still alive in the game. It’ll take some steps for the leaders to re-add them back to their party again.

Overall, I cannot wait to see this small feature add to the party system. Other than that, great job! +1

 

+1 from me.
so many times I have been warped by a party, while I was alive

 

Absolutely +1 from me. It has happened too many times to me, and this seems like a pretty simple thing to implement. No concerns on my end.

 

Yes, this is great. I don't see any reason not to add this. I've had that issue before as I'm sure a lot of people have had, and adding this would prevent alive people being removed from the game. Thanks for your suggestion! +1 from me.
