In this thread I propose a band-aid fix, for the initial bug that kicks players from their lobby position, meaning that it is temporary until a work around the socket errors are fixed.
After chatting with the admins we've come to find out that it cannot be fixed entirely by them and it is an issue that may be coming around a few times, the band-aid fix goes as the following:
A button that locks the player in their slot
the functionality?
Button functionality:
- Locks the player in place
- has a 15 second cool down on unlocking their position to prevent any kind of weird baiting/trolling
- Prevents the player from leaving their slot
- Has a three minuet timer (extendable by donating if you please) that refreshes the page afterwords
- After three minuets it becomes unlocked
As you can see it isn't a permanent fix, but could be an interesting almost band-aid fix to the situation with a fairly simple functionality.
Pros
- Gives the devs time to fix what they need to
- Prevents people from being randomly kicked
- Potential quickfix that may turn into a serious function for the website
Cons
- May not work at all
- people could try and abuse it in some way
- If the wrong mentality is used when implementing it the issue will not be solved
- the button could break some things
Additional ideas for the button
- Allow hosts to also lock players in place, this could ensure anyone that joins last to bait the lobby is forced to play
- prevents trolling in the senario where it is implemented
Mind you, this is only a quick fix and should be treated as such until the issue at hand is resolved, which it may occur once again due to the issue.
Thanks for reading.
