Im noticing an unfortunate trend where users are switching to applicant level right before launch in multiplayer games. The result is that one or two players would leap ahead and steam roll the game. I didn't even know it was possible until I played a 8 person ffa with one player at $25 and the rest at $7 - moused over his company and saw applicant -40%.
This sort of feature needs to be enabled only if all players concent to handicapping or put a countdown to prevent last second handicap changes. Otherwise it's a trolling mechanic.
I think that a countdown timer after the host clicks "launch" would suffice if it worked liked this: Once host clicks launch, all options are grayed out except for the "ready" toggle. Switching your ready state from yes to no after the countdown has started will cancel the countdown and allow you to change other options, but you'll only be able to do this a limited number of times before being auto-booted from a lobby to prevent trolls.
Yes there are many ways to do it. It's a great feature for private games but not so much for public games. A checkbox for allowing handicaps that defaults to off is good too.
I think there should be no difficulty level and instead have everything at the default +0% for public games, but for private games allow the option
I disagree. Some people want to play all-ceo games, and they may not know everyone in the game. Alternatively, I would agree with the host being able to change the difficulty for everyone in the game or a setting that affects everyone equally.
Noted. We're working on it.
Thank you!
