Author Topic: Spectators in a Different Group? (Read 7018 times)

I always get so annoyed from spectators that join the server and take up space.
So, why not add a different group?
Let me explain:

When you are setting the options of your game there would be one to have "Maximum Players", but then below that it should say "Maximum Spectators" to set. This way when someone joins as a spec they just take up space as a spectator, not as a player, or you can put 0 to block spectators completely.

Put me on the list.

Thank you.

I don't support it. I think it gives people a chance who want to view who/what's in the server before they join.

heh, is this like a petition? I fully support this and you can add me to it.

Thanks for your opinion.
Both of you.
*whispers*I'm going to KILL him. *devious look*

This sounds like a neat idea. I like it.

Krillious · « **Reply #7 on:** June 27, 2006, 06:05:39 pm »

I support it mainly because it's annoying when people go to spectate when they are afk instead of just leaving the server

Meep. · « **Reply #8 on:** June 27, 2006, 06:28:30 pm »

Yes, this is a very nice idea. You can add me.

zyxstand · « **Reply #9 on:** June 27, 2006, 06:42:15 pm »

Yes add this.
Also, to make it fair include all those's opinions who say otherwise.

tk, if your considering joining, join and leave if you don't like it - that simple!
This idea would have some many more advantages over drawbacks@

I'd have to disagree. If you want to stay in the same server so someone cant take your spot, going AFK on spec is not bad at all. you just are saving your spot in line. sorry everyone.

TDL · « **Reply #11 on:** June 27, 2006, 07:20:23 pm »

Good idea.

billay · « **Reply #12 on:** June 28, 2006, 08:29:03 am »

Thank you all for your opinions, and I have added a non-supporters list.

jrgp · « **Reply #13 on:** June 28, 2006, 08:32:48 am »

Support it and think it's a great idea.

You can just join and press F1.

You have no rights to 'save a spot'. If you're not playing, let others play. During this AFK period, uneven teams will happen if the server is full.

I like it, add me to the list. Numerous times i have wanted to join a server but to be told continuously that it was full...*sob*

...but when i join, i find like 3 spectators. F12!!

Unlucky XIII · « **Reply #17 on:** June 28, 2006, 09:50:51 pm »

I like the idea myself, it is always annoying when people become spectators just to hog that last player spot, and when they are told to play, they don't care about the team difference (in team games).

I don't see why not, personally. If you are bothered, stick my name on the list =D

So.... Is that a "I support?"

Denacke · « **Reply #19 on:** June 29, 2006, 09:46:02 am »

Aye it's very annoying to have unbalanced teams because there is one person spectating. Having special slots for spectators sounds like a good idea!
