Match progress indications

(1/3) > >>

Daft Loon:
It would be nice to have some way to know if there is any point in joining a match in progress before doing so.
Showing the time the match has been running would help, possibly along with the total score ex (the game is 4-3 it shows 7)
Any other ideas without severe negative side-affects?

Schwalbe:
Well... the idea is good.

There's only one possible problem, that is: the score being 4. There are 5 possible outcomes of such: 4-0, 3-1, 2-2, 1-3 and 4-0, to which I'd say that joining 4-0 match ain't worth it (which makes such indication worthless in 40% of cases). Some may argue about 3-1 and 1-3 matches too. ^^

I see the point of showing total score - to nullify picking winning sides for achieve grinding - but at the same time it partially nullifies the usefullness of such indication.

(Also, I witnessed few matches that lasted shorter than Slayer's Angel Of Death form start to finish, so... yeah)

Solidusbucket:
I kind of see the concern.

I join mid match constantly. I hate being in the dark but i get the purpose.

There is no real way to impliment something that gives enough information but not too much.

Being able to see both loadouts is already a fair amount of info.

Atruejedi:
This would be nice, especially with a "blind" scoreboard that indicates if the match is beginning or ending based on total kills but unknown as to who the killers/victims are. Yeah, like if it's a 2 on 2, it says the number of kills out of the total amount of possible kills. Something like 0/10, 3/10, etc... even if only 9 kills could ever actually happen. I absolutely loathe joining matches just to have them end in ONE minute because it's 4 to 4... or 4 to 0... instant-losses are especially annoying, but even instant-wins are stupid.

Solidusbucket:
Yep. I agree with the joining only to have it end instantly thing.

Even knowing if it is 4/10 doesnt help much though.
