Roundstart joining denial

Post by Sarah_U. » 22 May 2017, 09:02

Bug Description:
"You have been dead for 3 minutes and 19 seconds.
You must wait 5 minutes before rejoining the game!" - Roundstart, 20XX

It's impossible to join as xeno (idk about marine?) at roundstart due to the onset timer placed.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Don't get picked for any role.
2. Try to join xenos.
3. Message pops up.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

Does this timer still appear when you join directly from lobby?

Yes. In fact, observing the game ALSO forces you to count as dead.
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

I know the observing part then joining has a timer, which I think is fine, or else you can meta on survivors or the Marines by observing, then hop into a Xeno immediately. Joining from lobby directly shouldn't have a countdown timer though.

I can join just fine from the lobby, as long as a xeno is available.
"Memories can be vile. Repulsive little brutes, like children I suppose. But can we live without them? Memories are what our reason is based upon. If we can't face them, we deny reason itself! Although, why not? We aren't contractually tied down to rationality. There is no sanity clause. So when you find yourself locked down in an unpleasant train of thought, heading for the places in your past where the screaming is unbearable, remember: There's always madness. You can just step outside and close the door, and all those dreadful things that happened, you can lock them away. Madness... is an emergency exit."

Talking about newround lobby directly. There's a timer on the join ability if you die at round end and some other scenarios similar to that methink (I'm currently busy and trying to provide more info, can't test it all).
