Spectate in just normal rooms!

[Montreal]

You asked him for a solution to make your suggestion work and he provided one, i.e. adding a delay when spectating. This mitigates any potential abuse since information seen by spectators have already become irrelevant to the players. I honestly don't understand where you got confused, Cid has been perfectly coherent this whole time.

Unnecessary whiteknighting aside, I like the idea for the exact same reason you do. Sometimes I just wanna chill and watch other people play. That said, I also agree with Omma and Cid. I completely believe GunZ kids will go to the trouble of toggling their OC/UC/macro just so they can trash talk in a training room.

But even then, if two people really wanted to go on VC and leak spots in TDM then they can already do that even with no public spectator option. One person can literally just join the other team and leak spots from there. So yeah honestly I think, with the addition of Bunny's and Omma's ideas, this idea is good.

Yet another that didnt do the research or reading before hand. Okay I dont know why its so hard to undersand >.<. Im not asking for any delays. Im not asking to spectate a room with like FREE CAM or anything. If you understand how spectating works in other servers you would know what I mean, however if you never seen it in function before, I will try to explain to my best ability. Its as youre watching someone's perspective of playing , if you were dead in a duel room or tdm. Now there was already PAST threads mentioning a DELAY and I can already tell you that its far too complicated to code (as I am a programmer myself) for such FEATURE.

And as a result, MY SOLUTION , is to have such a feature to spectate a room if you want to ENABLE OR DISABLE in which THE HOST OF THE ROOM HAS the WILLINGNESS of ENABLING or DISABLING the feature and as for users to JOIN the room they have the DECISION of JOINING the room wether it has the feature "SPECTATE" enable or not.

Side note, I have no idea what does OC/UC have to do with spectating? Unless youre talking about watching someone you suspect which is fine? I guess I dont see the issue there. As for macro, I can see where people would spam macros as a spectator and be disruptive, in which case I do support @Ommadawn's idea or just have it where the spectator has their own chat (such as like how teams has their own chat)

Thats my solution @CID and @Amamin. Now if you still dont undestand what im trying to say. We can continue this in a private chat and leave the comments for other solutions or valid arguements.

Denied? On the contrary it is in the To be added later pile. Interesting solutions of a delay brought up that weren't discussed in the original thread, which are possible solutions to cheating. Although not perfect they seem to get the job done.

Oh cool I didnt see this haha I mean thanks I guess I just typed the word "spectate" and brought up all the threads that has it on their title.

Someone already mentioned that if they choose to go this route that the majority of players will just automatically skip over the spectating option due to the fact that it will get abused if they DON'T add a delay. Thus making it a pointless addition as it will most likely not be used much at all.


Also while we're on the topic of addition game room options...can we make it so you can edit those options as room master rather than choosing them before you create the room?...

Such a bold statement to say "maroity of players" when its only so far you and Cid that are against this. I dont personally see you guys activately play nor cw or care about competitive play so why is it such a bother for you? Anywho thats beside the point, I for the fact can ASSURE you this is not a pointless addition and I can most certainly say with confidence that the people in my clan will love this feature. I dont see the harm of just adding it and see how the community uses it? And if it really pointless they can always remove it.

It just baffles me you really think this feature can harm anyone but hey if youre that really insecure of your health and position in a PUBLIC game room please dont enable this feature, its all im asking and im sure whoever this "majority of people" you say will gladly follow.

At the end of the day, McSic has already added the feature that alone just proves my point lol. Its only matter of time and a single patch.
