Declined Inactivity Buffer

[Initiate 1,306]

Sorry for another idea, could you reduce the first time in to the battle as a 1 minute auto-kick? For example, if I join a battle and make a kill, even move my tank, then it is two minutes till I am kicked. But if I join and don't move, there is only a 1 minute grace period. This way you can get active tankers to fill up the ranks quicker.

So the normal inactivity is 2 minutes, but 1 minute upon joining?

Precisely :)

What if they need to change equipment in MM?

that could be grouped under activity, ie. pressing G indicates you are there.

Great then servers will block me from any battle with their 1:30< loading

Bad idea 2 minutes seem perfect

I honestly think the inactivity shouldn't be so quickly, sometimes the wait is very long so I multitask while I am waiting. Sometimes in MM it sends me back as inactive when I didn't even get into the game yet.

And some people have worse connection than others because of the servers.

Good point, I didn't think of that. That's true, probably not the best idea.

When the loading bar starts to actually put you into a battle, your name appears on the list and MM thinks you're there, even though you aren't there physically. That's why you get timed out.

A kick is too harsh, and would frustrate a lot of players, especially those with slower connection. Imagine you spend 10 minutes waiting for a game, then finally get put into one only to be kicked since you took too long to load.

 

There are better ways of solving the balance issue. For example, they could make it so a tank can only spawn in the beginning if there is an equal number of active tanks on the enemy team. So if 7 players loaded on one team and 6 on the other, then the 7th player will have to wait before being physically spawned until the 7th player on the enemy team also appears.

 

Alternatively, since this issue mostly exists in ASL, CTF and RGB modes, flags and balls could be locked until, say, a minute into the match.

One minute is too short, when you use the browser and  you get kicked because of server system, it take about that time to rejoin the game. Also when you change equipment same issue, you need time to get your garage to do a critical equipment change - would hate to be kicked because I was still in the garage.
