r4ve_C pugs don’t start because there’s not enough people to captain them

It sucks when this happen, assuming because most people don't have the elo requirement to get it started.

Typically if that's the case, I think it would best to move to "Open Pugs", though with the only issue is that teams are picked by the system. Last time I played, the balance system wasn't that bad, though it was only 1 game.

The 2nd issue is getting people to move to "open pugs" , HOPEFULLY, we can get a live chat soon the website.

please fix the issue where after pugging, your alias on discord changes to a random person in the pug globally for a few minutes.

makes me extremely wary of the security of whatever is happening with user data, and im sick of having to explain what's happening to people who don't play the game

hold on why do pugs not have a hard stop at 30 mins, i get the banny config for matches but no pug website or inhouse group ever has done 30+ min long pugs (same thing for LANs, having games that can take an indefinite amount of time is Not ideal if there is any sort of time constraint), if you add up before scrims you should be able to know 100% that it will end by a certain time

edit: oh i see the timer counts down from when the pug was picked? just do it like pugchamp and do the in-game time left

also why does the discord channel for the pug go away a few minutes afterwards lol what if people want to just hang out after a pug

should make a general lounge voice chat or something (and having no chat for the website is pretty silly too)

spamming this thread sry but plz make an option to only make noise when you need to ready up, even changing the annoying ass gottfried voice (which shouldn't be the default LOL) you still get spammed with unnecessary info like what team and class you got picked on, i muted it cuz it was too many alerts but then missed a game i added up for

other pug sites (tf2center, tf2lobby, pugchamp, pugme) all had this figured out, really don't understand why so many things are done differently / made overcomplicated

should have a pre ready option as well (tf2center has 2.5 mins i think, pugchamp had a 5 minute pre ready)

DivineATneeds option to pre-ready up for non-captains so u don't end up missing out b/c u left for a sec

Pre-ready has been in the works and should be ready in the next update.

JwI want to be able to wager my elo when I play a pug. There should be a button that says "x2" that would make me lose double the elo if I lose the pug, and gain double the elo if I win the pug

We don't want to turn a balancing mechanic into something other than balancing. There's already existing elo multipliers depending on number of pugs played as a class, which class you're playing, and your elo relative to the pug.

JwI'd like to be able to see my/other players' elo history, like a tab on your profile that shows a graph of where you started and how your elo has changed over time. Thanks!

This is planned to be included within a larger elo update in the future.

SOOOOOAPYMEISTERyou can sub people on the other team literally why

Throughout alpha, it was actually pretty difficult to get players to click the sub button in the first place. This might not be the case now with bug fixes and the relocated sub button though.

loafei think the map voting system would be a good way to introduce some map testing

We've discussed this internally previously and the route we would go is likely to have a separate map testing queue.

We actually do not change or touch your discord alias, nor does the app have permission to change a player's name globally across multiple servers unless you click 'Authorize' on a page like the following that says something like "Access to change your nickname" (which we don't do). We do not store any discord user data permanently except for your discord id. I have never seen this happen, so if/when it does, please DM me or document it somehow so that can get that figured out.

bearodactylhold on why do pugs not have a hard stop at 30 mins

We initially switched from a hard 30 minute config because players didn't seem satisfied with ties, but we are currently pending testing for a custom plugin (mentioned in #109) that would use midcap for tie breakage after time runs out in a standard 30min config.

bearodactylalso why does the discord channel for the pug go away a few minutes afterwards lol what if people want to just hang out after a pug
should make a general lounge voice chat or something (and having no chat for the website is pretty silly too)

There was an incident a few years ago that started a policy of not having any open channels for a long-term general hangout in the RGL discord. The current timeout is 8 minutes after a PUG ends, but can be extended to 15 minutes if that seems more reasonable.

I understand why this is, just sometimes very annoying as I've had some good post-pug conversations with people I normally do not talk to just for it to get cutoff mid conversation as the channel timer runs out.

DolphInNIn the works for a future update, but we're still exploring ways that moderation could not possibly be an issue when it launches.

Agreed.

Thinking about the ideal function of this chat, I think it should have a limited amount of words (150-200?) against spam. In addition to that, a delay after they chatted.

Obviously, a blacklist / word "filter". Probably easiest way to cover the whole basis is looking at what's open source, you'll find a lot of different blacklists.

Don't know what's going on, but we definitely need some transparency right now.

We went from 4+ servers, to 2 servers, and then back to only using 1 server? Causing a 'little battle' between the 6s and HL puggers on who can own the server (you can guess who won).

No response at this time in the RGL beta discussion on its discord. Assumption right now is that the servers are down for maintenance because a recent connectivity issue? (specifically for HL)
