Declined Lag: "Quit Button" vs Leave button

[sammillionaire 656]

The normal 'exit from battle' button removes you from the battle you are in, of course!

 

But, when you are lagging (PING = 999), and trying your best to leave the battle to help your team

hoping someone else will join your team instead of you.

 

 

Does it really work ? NO!

 

You stay multed in the battle and the whole team is angry with you.

So, 

I have a suggestion to make a button, below (or anywhere) the 'exit from battle' button which is known as "Exit from Server Button".

By clicking this button, you will immediately be removed from the server. 

especially when you are lagging and clicked this button, you will immediately be removed and someone else will join taking your place.

 

Example; (just a suggestion)

Sorry, but this idea will not work.

 

 

You see, if someone lags and leaves the battle, the reason why he is not removed from the battle

-> is that the network message sent from your computer to the tanki server, that tells the tanki server

      "hey, I leave the battle"  is not delivered.

-> It's not delivered because of the poor network = because you lag.

 

No matter how many buttons you create, the problem stays the same with all of them.

If you lost your way to communicate, then you can not tell anything.

 

 

What would help is a shorter timeout in case of communication loss (remove player if no message arrived for 30 seconds), but this would mean that if you browser crashes and you try to reconnect, you can not make it back in time, and your slot in the battle would be lost.

how about you make the 2nd exit button immediately force close the game for you. or force close all your connection to the game.

If you force close the application, it will leave you in the battle until your 2 minutes time run out (same situations as if your browser crashes).

And termination of a connection makes no sense either, as you have alreaedy lost your connection in the situation the player described.

 

This game would have a problem if you manage to get out of a battle, into the lobby, and see your own (!) name still in the battle (I am not talking about someone else see's your name in the battle, while you see nothing - or a loading screen or alike).

 

As long as this does not happen (frequently) there is not much that can be done.
