Allow Spec for 1 round before multi loss

I know this has been discussed before but I want to bring it up again  :P

Basically what it says in the title, give us at least one round's grace of going spec without losing our multis.  It's frustrating to get up to a good multi and then have to lose it just because you want to go to the bathroom or get a snack or something.

 1min is all they need to stack the teams so im afraid they wont allow that.

Dont blame the devs blame the stackers  :rolleyes:
I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

If you truly play cRPG, you don't need to eat, drink or pee.

I used to hate losing my multi for not spawning for a round, but now that I've seen the enormous effect non spawners have on team balance, I agree it should be punished to not spawn. If in a 30 vs 30, 5 more players on one team decide to not spawn, their team is fucked. Can happen for multiple rounds in a row.

So no.

I agree.
It is how it is for a good reason.

This isn't about not spawning, it's about going spectator.

The current system encourages staying non-spawning in your team, since you don't lose multi if your team wins. But if you go spectator, you will lose multi no matter what happens.

Gaming the autobalancer remains an issue.

im going to say no and only because of these stacker clans. that first round is the only hope I have of watching these stackers lose their hours of x5, since round 1 is not banner balanced. if you implement this then all these stackers will just wait through the first round and then spawn together for round 2 and continue x5 rapings

Please re add, so that people can step away from their desk to use the restroom, grab a beer or some food, have a smoke. As it is now, everyone just waits to lose their multi and then goes to do their business which screws with balance even more then the staggered one person not spawning in.

How about we disable it for the first round?

The other think I see is people that need to step away from the keyboard just suicide charge into battle maybe taking one or two enemies with them so they have the whole round to do what they need it.

Good suggestion. That should solve it. I think.
