Suggestion title: Eventpassword solution.
Suggestion description:
I would like to see a solution for the following problem: You come online and there is an event, you ask for the password and get no reaction(this happens most of the time, not always). Maybe there can be a box or something else to know what the password is. This will also prevent the spamming of 'Password?? or 'Whats the pass#!@'. Thx for looking into it.
I suggested this once in the staff chat, said it was a hassle
but almost every time we host we answer our whispers, hell we even take a look at the lobby chat whilst hosting, just try to whisper or speak thru lobby chat
on a serious note I would LOVE to see this implemented
Post it in the lobby a few times, most hosters will see it.
In the 4 years i played that wasnt often the case.Quote:

I'll tell you if you get my attention enough, we're obviously not gonna see the first or second time, our priorities are on getting the event started as well as run it.Quote:

When someone whispers me, I try to post it on lobby as soon as I get time for it. Why we (I) give password maybe after event already started, is because the room is already full, so it doesn't matter if I tell you the password before it starts or not, because you still can't join during that time.
This is really unecessary thing to put the coders into work on in my opinion. You just gotta have to be patient, we always try to answer you guys when we see that you ask for the password. Sometimes it might take longer because we are maybe in a middle of a chase in LMS or w/e, so we can't really just stop, and type instead of chasing because that would give an unfair advantage.
My point is, that it doesn't matter if I give you the password right after I started a round, or tell you during a whole round in events like lms, w2w or any events with rounds in them, because you still cannot join in a middle of a round, and you couldn't join before it began either because it was already full.Quote:

But then people could've gotten the password from clanmates or friends and the room would be full...Quote:

Then it is you.Quote:

This is not necessary.
The event host can just use the /removepassword command to remove the password off the room.
Then they can just use the /changepassword command again to set a password on the room.
