BAP Quick Match

Mordaen08 · 31-08-2009, 09:43 PM

Couple of pointers.

1. "Quick" Match...

Or, as I like to call it, "by-the-time-I-actually-get-a-game-I-will-be-old-enough-to-draw-my-old-age-pension" match...

A quick match should be that - quick. When it takes up to an hour to finally get to play one match then that's no one's idea of quick by any stretch of the imagination.

5 minutes (and longer sometimes) for players to select a side is too long. More games than not I spend sitting there waiting for one or two people who choose a side then just leave their choice unselected.

1 minute should be plenty for a quick match.

Then, after the captains have finally finished messing around with the starting line up, you have another 5 minutes to choose (or not) a position; and again you seem to have one or two people who take their own sweet time while the rest of us are raring to go. Again, this is way too long. 30 seconds should be plenty at this stage of the proceedings.

It shouldn't take more than 2-3 minutes for a quick match to get to the actual game. A couple of weeks ago it took me almost an hour to get a match.

2. Kicking players...

Another frustrating part of the BAP quick match is being kicked by some immature idiot of a captain before the game has even started properly. After waiting 15+ minutes to get a game today I got kicked not 2 seconds into the match - presumably so the captain could take my striking roll. That's unfair and really peeved me off.

Perhaps a time constraint on how long before a captain can kick a user? Or make it so a captain can only kick a user at half time or later?

Or perhaps if a captain wants to kick a player enough of the rest of the team have to agree first...

Agreed it needs an overhaul. Those 2 problems are the most frustrating thing with BAP.

There should be a limit with how many times people can select then unselect. Many idiots keep selecting then unselecting for some reason which takes ages before the match can start.

The captain kicking has happened to me also prior to kick off. It's infuriating when you've waited about 20 minutes for the damn selection process then your kicked out before the match starts. Only allowing the captain to kick you out at half time sounds a good idea. Having other players agree would probably delay things to much.

Another annoying thing is that people pause the match only after about 1 minute into it then when it resumes it's then paused again by someone else. All this nonsense makes me give up completely on BAP online.
