So… I was in a badlion FFA but my internet dies… I then restart my internet but then the FFA has started. I was typing in chat prior to the whitelist being turned on and got kicked before the host whitelisted. I know many people who were in game but got either ddossed for 5 minutes so they couldn't join back or their internet just flat out dies. I feel that if the host sees that person typing in chat, they should be allowed to whitelist that person if told prior to the 5 minute mark so people who die in other uhc's cant abuse it. Hosts just denying whitelists because they think its "fair" when that person clearly got kicked for lag. Just an issue that is frustrating and pissing me and many other people off. Hopefully you can enforce something like this in the future so people can rejoin and have fun.-JT

It's a rare occasion. Donor+ and Lion can bypass the hardwhitelist after the game starts. Other then that there isn't much guidance I can give you. Sorry.Posted on 04 September 2015 - 12:51 AM
slutty, i understand. thx for reading <3Posted on 04 September 2015 - 12:57 AM
slutty, i think i figured out a solution. Instead of waiting to start the game to whitelist everyone, hosts should whitelist right when the game is full and whitelist again right before the game starts. Would that work? or does it not work that way?Posted on 04 September 2015 - 12:57 AM

Uhm I mean theoritically it should. That's what they should be doing in ways. Hosts as soon as the server fills up are expected to ./wl all and ./wl on.Posted on 05 September 2015 - 09:06 AM
@sluttycow Theoretically, hosts should be doing it but many people know that they aren't. After a server fills up and a non-donor tries to re log or gets kicked for some reason, they usually can't join back and their team has to ask a lion to whitelist them. Same thing goes for donors. If they get kicked right before the game starts and the host doesn't whitelist all, the normal do stores can't join back while lion and donator plus get kicked from the team and have to look for their team. In order to try and prevent this from continually happen, could you just re-enforce this with the other hosts about them whitelisting all after the server is full? It would mean a lot to non-donors and normal donators.Posted on 07 September 2015 - 11:02 AM
It might just be a bug. We'll look into fixing it. If the problem is repeated (preferably show me what happens with video) then I'll make a reminder post in the host forums.
