Thread: Stop Joining?

except its 22/24 so it doesnt show up as full.

From what I have seen, I believe if someone spams the join server button enough they will actually get a non-reservist to disconnect. I have seen this work at least once. I know someone was joining at 22/24 over and over and then saw someone get kicked for a reserved slot. No one else was loading in but the person who kept trying to join. Not sure if this was a fluke but I know I would not be impressed if I was the person kicked.

Also, on the spam issue I think it is disrupting and a bit arrogant for someone to think they don't have to wait patiently to get in and just hammer the server. I wish there was a better option for reserved slots that would allow a script to watch for slots below 22 but I haven't found one or got one working yet.

Also, on the issue of the refresh not updating properly, I have had that happen. It usually only happens when you are refreshing more than once per second and the connection limit for the server browser gets maxed out. I usually ask someone ingame how much time is left on the map and then try later or hit refresh every 5 seconds or so.

I entirely agree with what EvilRemix said here.
I wish that there was a way to auto join if the server wasn't "full"
I wish that there was a way to see how much time there was left in a round from the server info page.
But if wishes were horses we'd all be eating steak.

Its not that simple.

I agree with EvilRemix as well.

Also, as a Medic, join-spam is disruptive. People hit the medic button because its faster than voice usually, and with that comes a chat message giving me the name of the person who needs the medic. Join-spam can make this scroll off before i see it.

I don't think its a point of being simple or not; this is how it works, so we gotta make do. If you can't do the reserved slot (for whatever reason), then you get to live with the added complications.
