speccing to avoid death.

[SEAL]

perhaps lock the spec-button. If ya get subbed, you will be specced autom. so speccing yourself is kinda useless in itself. only problem remains is esc-q

Or, if you get specced, be specced in a specific freq number. In other words, if ya spec yaself you enter the normal spectator freq. A player who enters the normal spec freq could result in an action (such as +1 death or lifetime ban or whatever)

Or, add a timeout. if you get specced, or do it yourself, you will have to wait for an amount of time before entering. So your teammates will get outnumbered if you spec. Implenting that if a freq has zero players in, it will lose the match would solve a last man standing who specs.

Impossible

Awesome has the best idea in my opinion I know I have lagged out sometimes even though I have DSL. It has been rare but it has happened so 1-2 deaths sounds bad.

[Weaver]

Interesting thread. Awesome your idea is good, but I think 3 lagouts should still be maximum. I'll see what lnx thinks about the idea but the more ideas the better.

[Server]

if there is laggy ppl who eat and lagout 1-2 times in a round to ruin the game.. why shouldnt nonlaggy ppl have right to use their lagouts then? :P

I use the speccing thing just to even things out and to annoy enemy. And btw demonic you shouldnt be whining about that when you're eating a lot in every game you play. Meh

Edit: but sure make it so you get +1 deaths from lagout/speccing, but please do lower the laglimits as well. I think the connections should be good enough all over the world to get under 200-250ms ping.. And hows that information on *tinfo ?

Man, I really hate poops with hands.

Or you could set your energy level to 1501, then something would steadily keep the energy at 1500 to disable warping and speccing.

[Jrahen]

Me like pies... :wub:

[Rumpnisse]

I agree with the +1 death thing
it may also hold back the lag-cheaters

But sometimes even I (I'm on 100 mbit) get dc'ed cause of tw lag . but i like your idea

[Predator Rulez]

Add a death for lagging out

Lagging out can Happen, I see ppl run.. waiting to get Full nrg and then spec on purpose.. Dont know if this already is Illegal.. but if it isn't it should be. Therefore is should be warnable.. (not bannable) and punished with a spec for the entire game. Or something like it.. Unf

If you add a death for lagging out, wouldn't you have to add a death for subbing too?

[lecherious young gun]

i think the +1 death is a good idea except this speccing thing is not exactly widespread and only certain people do it. There times when guys get hit with lag spikes though so what about setting a time limit for when u can come back in when u lag out of like 30 seconds - 1 minute. That way speccing on purpose is dittered but the people who actually have lag issues wont be affected as much as it might take some time for their lag to clear up anyway.

[Predator Rulez]

Adding a death would't solve it.. cuz if you really would laggout you would get a death.. which isn't the meaning. Like I said.. Just warn.. and spec on repeat for the rest of the game (warning lasts for 1 week in case it happens more). unf

[Jones]

Meh, no lag lag-limits lower than 300. Think about our friendly aussies!

[Dabram]

There's no way you can differ real lagouts from lagging out / speccing to avoid a death. It's just too easy to spam yourself out to avoid a death.

A death for lagout would be the only solution, if this is really something that we want to solve. So far I only see people do it who aren't really good and most likely will lose anyhow, especially in TWL. I don't think games get decided by this really.

[Desperate]

TWD and TWL should have the same rules/arenas IMO

Finally someone that shares my opinion.
