You can't abuse the system. Hypothetically, if I was a jerk host (host is the only guy with this power mind you) and I had everyone X up. Then right before launching I switched the 4000+ guy to my team -he'd be un-x'ed and I couldn't launch until he x'ed up again.

Now unless you want to start a conspiracy, this stops a vast majority of abuse.
Also, if someone is pulling this fishy business off, un-x yourself.
And now you've stopped ALL abuse.

You cant move the Player X-ed because it's a bug.

Fixed now !

You can switch the player to other Player or AI.

(Not Ready state limitation is removed because the Hidden Bug is fixed)

You can just wait the next patch.

Yes... that works very slowly as they have to move themselves back in.

It'd be much better if the host could just move everyone quickly without waiting for people to move themselves back up. (And prevents jerks from stealing spots.)

But it's a temp. fix in a way.

No.

Hence this thread asking for such an ability. (But it makes a fatal bug right now and it's being looked at so yay.)

In my first version of 'Move to slot' it's possible to move player with Ready statement, but the Lobby crash after this.
I temporary disable 'Move to slot' if the player is Ready for prevent a crash.

I not have a time for the moment for fixed this bug, but, it is already planned to be fixed later.

If the player is Ready, you can move this player to Observer, it's work.

More host control (remove X sheild)

2013-11-29T12:23:05+02:00

Simple suggestion, allow a host to move people even if they are 'ready' or 'xed up'. If a host is trying to balance teams and some guy isn't having it and just throws up an x, they only option is to balance around the jerk or kick'em. I'd much rather just be able to move them freely -of course un-xing them in the process.

It's really annoying at lower rating when people 'don't care' if the game is balanced. But that only happens when they have a low rating so they really don't have much to lose in a team game anyway. No downside to giving the host this power other than annoying people that abuse it (that I can see at least).

Thoughts?
