So today I was pumped to play a To2 UHC with my friend, the game was being hosted by Predpool.We were getting ready with time.is to join at exactly the right time, when the time hit that time the UHC was not open, we waited 5 minutes and after those 5 minutes, donators could finally join, my friend got in but as I am not a donator I couldn't join early. As usual I thought they would wait 5 minutes and let non-donators in but, the Host just let all donators join and started without letting non-donators in the game. The game was full of donators before non-donators could join, with past experience I'm sure hosts limit the amount of donators that can join so atleast a 100 non-donators can play too, but this was the complete opposite, the game had 300-320 Donators before the 5 minute non-donator join mark.
This just really made me mad and I hope you can take this into consideration so it doesn't happen again, Badlion UHC's should be for everyone, donators and non-donators.
Thank You.

1. You are a donator.2. If it fills up with donators, no non-donors are ever let in.
3. They never "save spots" for non-donors.
4. Pred is a great host.

This isn't the hosts faultPosted on 09 March 2015 - 07:48 PM
There are too many people that want to play in them.This was also a feature promised to the donators and we will not take away what they paid for.
We are still looking into larger matches all the time. If minecraft 1.9 has threaded AI in it we could actually get some major progress for this idea. We would have to recode a lot of our stuff but it would be a step in the right direction.

He did it again xD Like I mean he doesn't let non donators play at all, its bs, why post matches on the "Upcoming Matches" thing if its only for people who donate. Change that. Its not a donator perk, a donator perk is joining early, UHC's for only donators should not exist.Posted on 15 March 2015 - 05:45 PM
I don't understand why you are complaining that non donators can't play when it says your rank is "Donator", yes i understand you may have a friend but if the game gets full before we can even whitelist off there is nothing we can do we host plenty of games which means plenty of chances to try and play :) i hope you understand this has nothing to do with pred he hosts what he signs up for and follows the rules.Posted on 15 March 2015 - 07:22 PM
I don't know why my rank is donator, I don't have donator rank on the server, or the donator perks, Its just something I have in forums for some reason.Posted on 15 March 2015 - 08:37 PM
He may have had donator for a month and that rank seems to stick on the forum when donator runs out.@Martino There are so many new UHC hosts and a lot of games being hosted at the same time to give non-donors a better chance of playing. If you check the calendar, they usually have 2-3 games running at 4pm EST and 7pm EST. You should be able to get in then.
P.S. Pred is an amazing host.

Baepool is bae. And what Lena said is very accurate. Also, if you are unable to join a game, then do not immediately blame the hosts. It could be a multitude of things ranging rom the PREVIOUS host's mistake or even as simple as the server is already full of donors. And before you suggest it, we cannot increase player slots as of yet unless you want 9 TPS.
