PvE Starting Vote

timelord79

How about a 30 sec timer which starts as soon as the first person is on the map for a mission briefing which is often used for cutscenes, how about putting a Starting Vote Button into the missions?

That way the whole team can decide when to actually start the mission?

Gives them time to actually discuss strategy or at least acknowledge the others presence via a simple hello.

Now there is griefer potential with idiots not hitting start but then if you have a griefer on the team, chances are you don't want to run this mission anyway.

I am sure many of you can think of issues with this suggestion, so let's discuss if it would make sense.

if a dev happens to stumble in here, maybe he can chime in on technical feasibility?

sounds nice on paper but it can be way too easily abused by people for multiple reasons. One guy decides he wants everyone to run the instance his way and refuses to push the start button unless people agree and I can think of a half a dozen other reasons why people would not want things to start .. maybe he thinks one guy in the group smells funny and wants him to leave. Maybe he doesn't like so and so's ship and wants him to leave and wants to wait for another person to zone in from the q.

So no thanks for me to many ways to abuse the thing it needs to remain automated.
