Ideas

[Aight]

I don't know if someone came up with this idea already or if it's possible, I thought it would be nice if the information of minutes remaing of a certain map / made could be added to the masterserver So while someone is browsing the servers he could easily figure out if it's still worth to connect to a server for playing a map / mode he likes.

Why would that feature be handy? Well, I need to explain that by showing the way I decide to which server I connect.

When I was playing in AC version 1.0 I mostly played a lot on high-skill servers and since there were restrictions concerning voting I stayed on a server mostly for a couple of games because I liked the "classic" maps.

Now it's different. I mostly play on the TyD ladder servers but I don't like their map-rotation all in all. That's why I often switch servers to play maps and modes I also like (for instance TDM Toxic or CTF Mines).

Another reason is that I got to know the game better and decide carefully to which servers I connect. I really like that servers are listed concerning the ping on the masterserver list, so if I play early in the morning or late in the evening I can easily spot servers with aight pings for me - I'm European, so I don't have a ping problem mostly :) -

So 1st ping, then I glance at map / modes I like. Thirdly, I have a look on the maximum number of players a server allows, I usually don't play on servers with more then 14 slots.

And then I would care about the minutes remaining...

Long post, but I wanted to make clear why the implementation of this feature would be nice :)
