I agree with this last statement. I actually think the best way to make it all fair would be a TOTAL of 1 minute.vove wrote:SNIP...
removed the possibility to postpone it for a minute.
SC pops, you have three choice:
1) Join
2) Postpone Join
3) Leave
#1 - Joins immediately (as it does now)
#3 - Leaves immediately (as it does now)
#2 - Postpone Join - this "locks you into joining" however buys you the REST of the 60 second timer. Basically a way of extending it so you can turn in. Say you selected this option with :35 seconds left on the Que. It wouldnt give an extra minute, it would give you :35 seconds and then it would auto-join you into the group.
This way you can make the game start after 1 minute and the WORST case that player who hit "postpone join" would join in the second the game starts.. Minimal set back to the group.
Any other method and you run into issues. Bump it to 30 seconds and players dont get enough time for turn ins or w.e... or you run into latency issues that cause (sometimes) 20+ second loading screens.
1 minute is fair, I dont mind a 1 minute wait INSIDE an SC as long as I know battle is coming. Its better than sitting around outside the SC and if I get a better game, Im all for it!
