FOR ONCE BLIZZARD DOES SOMETHING RIGHT

[ika]

this is going in the 2.1 patch

AFK Lobby Hosts

It’s no fun being stuck waiting on lobby hosts who have seemingly abandoned their duty to get the game started. We understand that this can be a frustrating experience, which is why we've implemented a process to boot inactive players from public Arcade and Custom Game lobbies, whether or not they're the host.

Players in public game lobbies will now be prompted to respond after a short period of inactivity and will be kicked from the lobby if they remain unresponsive. If the booted player was the lobby host, a new host will be selected from the remaining players so that you can get back to the action as soon as possible.

i am hoping to see a lot less afkers in game (except me when im jester or neutral who doesnt give a fuck XD)

Nothing is good about this . Now mafia games in eu never start before the evening

Yea, it's not like people wait around for hosts to start the lobby.
Mafia lobbies are so big that if it's not peak hours, you WILL alt+tab when waiting. Only to find out you got booted because you're waiting 15 minutes for a game lol

Again a fail move from blizzard.

THEY COULD EASILY MAKE THIS AN OFF/ON OPTION FOR MAPS. But no failzard will fail again.

I think this is total shit. As much as I dislike afk players this move will just help destroy games that do not fill up instantly. I doubt I will ever play a barcraft game or a hand full of others again with this feature.

barcraft

I tried to explain this to the guys at my rooftop bar... they don't like the idea of advertising barcraft

[cookies4you]

Why do I get the feeling that this will backfire horribly and destroy the community...
