[req] Ringing Game Host

Post by Felix the Cat »

Currently you can only ring someone if you are hosting and the person is in your game.

It would be nice if you were able to ring the host of the game you're in, sometimes hosts need a little reminder that their game is full and waiting to start.

Should be controlled somehow so noobs dont abuse it. Like you can only ring once every half-minute to kill ringspamming by common users, and when you mute a person, his rings should also be muted.

tbh I'm not too concerned about people abusing it.

It was fine back when we could ring anyone.

But somehow I doubt that the lobby developer would revert back to that.

Does that mean you couldn't turn it off? Nah that's utter bullshit then.

It can take quite a while to get a big game of xta full; i often host then go read forums etc. It would be really handy for people to be able to ring me when ready, saving constant alt-tabbing. That said people can just pm...

What would be even better is if you could display an auto message when you are hosting that says something to the effect of "ring me when you're ready."

There is an option that opens notification and rings when someone joins your battle, find it under options->notifications.

Will also reenable host ringing with next update.
