Increase lobby match timer when crew joins
Hoja Lateralus:
Sent it to the Devs and got it confirmed that the new (lobby) system will have some fixes for late joiners so the timer doesn't hurt them.
Although it may not be the excact solution, I guess the problem has been thought through and it may be fixed in the next patch (which should be some time before 2015).

so the patch along with matchmaking? I know the timer is going to change with matchmaking, but I hadn't heard anything about how the timer works for late joiners.
they've been suggesting an early october release for matchmaking if things stay on target. that's why I'm a little confused by the vague "before 2015".

I think that was because Mr Disaster didn't know that little tidbit XD
But yeah, the match timer increases when people join late. In the last test where I saw this happen, it reset to 60 seconds, but I think it's different now. Not sure. Generally though, unless people are leaving the room all the time, it should be full by the 120 second mark or sooner, so this won't even be an issue.

Basically on Fireside Chat I asked Devs that since they are mostly focused on Co-Op and Adventure Mode are there going some Skirmnish Mode dedicated update before 2015 and they said yes. But yeah, it may be implemented with the matchmaking, hopefully ;)

now we are talking about anyone entering late, right? we tested a match with a new captain in particular, and it reset the timer. we didn't test a new non-captain crew member in the match I was in.
I don't know if you were testing in the same match I was in lol
