subscription / waiting list

[lothistvan 7]

Many times I'd like to connect to a battle but it isn't possible because it is full. I have to wait a chance with my hand on the mouse to click the Play button immediately as possible otherwise somebody else will overtake me.

 

If a battle is full the engine should allow to subscribe to a waiting list. Possible options:

- team (blue / red / any)

- with preview

- from the next round only

When any player leave the battle the first subscriber (based on the options) should be entered into the game automatically.

Nah, if a famous player is in the battle, the list will be too long

If I see there are too many poeple already waits I won't subscribe to the end of the list. So I think it isn't problem.

And if you join another battle??? it will delete you from that list? and some ppl can just do that to annoy everyone

Yes it will. Why not? It means I don't interested on the other battle.

Why would that be a problem?

The way I see it:

 

• When the battle is full instead of the "Play" button, there will be a Wait button, which you click to get on the waiting list.
• Your name will remain on the waiting list as long as you are on the same server and do not enter any other battles.
• You can only be in one waiting list at a time.
• Once you click on another waiting list in another battle, your name gets removed from the previous one.
• It also gets removed if you either exit the game, switch servers or enter another battle.

Cuz it is kinda like seeing a virtual "Super Star" like Godmode_ON or someone from a clan like Arcade or GGWP and you know what fans do to real life super stars.

So? If you see a long waiting list - simply ignore the battle. Or take a chance and enter the list if you have time and patience to wait.

I think it isn't required. No problem if someone subscribes to more waiting list in same time. They will be entered into first free battle and than remove from other lists.

This is a cool idea that I recently thought of: each battle which has any team that cannot be joined would have a wait list button! When you are in the list, you cannot join any other battle; however you can join other wait lists. This would not apply to the entire battle, but to both individual teams: if a team cannot be joined because it has more players than the other, there would be a wait list button for it separated from the other team. The user could do other activities on or off the computer whilst waiting for the battle to become available, and the user would be notified by a certain sound when a slot opens up. By the way, when a slot opens up, the user's tank will automatically join the battle. There would be a visual notification in the game as well, telling the user which battle the user has joined for the case when the user is on multiple wait lists simultaneously.

EDIT: also you would be able to see on the battle list which place you are in on the wait list, or like 1^st, 2^nd, etc. Also, team battles would have 3 different buttons: one for each team, and another for both teams if both teams are full.
