Remove this immediately. It has no purpose whatsoever but to disrupt remakes of the game and leave people in the dust.

Uh, what? It tells people how long they have before the game ends. I could make it longer..?

Make it not end period. They can just leave when they're ready.

I feel like the game should end sometime.. Some people go afk forever and if the game never ends, they keep that gamename in use. That can be annoying if you're hosting using the same name a lot. I don't know, maybe I'll just increase it to like 2 minutes or something.

Most people can sort their stuff out and will leave before 2 minutes is up anyways.

Yeah 2 minutes sounds good.

Okay, I'll do that then. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. :)

You could make the game instantly re-set and be playable again from the start (similar to DoE). ;)

Id like to see the game reset to the begining also. we had a core group of 7 people through 5 games and having to remake it each time was kinda a bummer.

Well, it would be very easy to reset it to the beginning, but I don't do that for a few main reasons. A friend of mine keeps track of how many games are played of a map in a day, and if I have a built in reset function, it'd skew how many games are actually played. Also, my other thought is to promote new players getting into a group of players. A dungeon crawler is a different beast than an AoS, since it isn't competitive, I feel that fully remaking the game feels more correct and offers players the most chance to play.

Dunno, that's just how I feel.

that makes sense, its to bad b-net doesnt allow people to join games in progress at set intervals.

Yeah, if it could do that, I'd totally implement a reset.

Doesn't the name stay in use if they're still in the score screen (afk)?

Does it? Not sure.

Dusk what about a continue option.

Like for each master time you beat you get a continue, so if your whole team wipes it will restart from that level.

Only the really good teams will get them so 95% of games wont ever have it happen, but sometimes when you have a good team and just some bad luck it would be nice to get that do over.

How about make it end when the host leaves?
