alosso:
gmaster007: It happens more often than not,
I join a single player in the lobby waiting for more players,
then all of a sudden he hits "tee off" without asking me,
and now when our round completion is ranked, it means you're stuck
in a round with 1 player, even though you wanted 2 or 3 more players.
I don't think we need yet another timer.
1) There is a timer for ev1 entering a lobby. Use it to say good bye or talk to the invitee.
2) If you want to control the game, start your own. If not on the driver's seat, accept his actions or leave at your own risk.
I don't think a 10 or 15 or even 5 second notice that the "Tee off" button was hit,
is such a major change, yet it would help out in a lot of cases.
suppose you've joined a round,
and a player that you blocked has joined.
and suppose the host has hit the tee off button,
before you have a chance to leave the lobby? then what?
why should we be "surprised", I honestly can't see any downsides
to a 10 second "heads up" timer. it would only help form mp groups
that much better, because people will hang around without worrying
about being teed off before they're ready for it.
