Yeah, that seems fair for a donator perk as well. Just the chances have to be slim as more people get added.

Let's throw out another idea. Since you had a great one can I bounce this idea off you?

Alongside/instead of a "queue," as in the first come first serve idea (Java queues OP,) couldn't there be a random selector? Someone would be chosen at random in this selector and they have to answer within a minute to receive the whitelist, otherwise another person will get it.

I know it's pseudorandom but it's the best I can think of for everyone to have a fair shot

Give any full mod/host access to gm the lobby before a UHC?

Posted on 19 February 2016 - 02:55 PM

Soon there will be like 100000^3.14 UHC games a day so global mute might pretty much mute the lobby for the entire day

Or add more games to the times where theres only 1? Though there are some EU/NA games that get stacked together at the same time up to like 5 games

Any ffas i have tried to play recently have been completely full before the wl was off for non donors. In general badlion is not pay to play but with the massive numbers in uhcs now i think more games will be needed or else you will need a rank to play uhc.

I have an idea about uhc whitelisting. I was thinking only 100 donors could get in on the pre-whitelist, but lions could go up to 150. Then the whitelist comes off and more NONDONERS can get on. Then any donor can join after that. This will get the most of non-donors and donors in.

As a non-donor, the uhc whitelist is very hard to get by so I can actually play a game. This is disappointing when one of my friends doesn't get in and we all have to do something else. I think there is a better solution to the whitelist.

1. The host and mods need time to prepare for the UHC. They shouldn't have interference with donors before the whitelist should be off. This will allow for more non-donors to get spots in the UHC and the host gets better prep time. Youtubers, streamers, and famous people should get in since they won't be annoying to the host and so they get a garunteed spot in for viewers.

2. Even when the server is full donors can get in, which can still be a perk for donating. Since more non-donors will get in, there has to be a perk still for donating. Donators will be able to get in 75 over the whitelist. Donator+ will get in 100 over the whitelist. Lions can get in 125 over the whitelist. Youtubers, streamers, and famous can get in anytime, in case if they are late to the pre-whitelist. Since more non-donors will get in, we need to limit the amount of donors that can get in or it will be too crowded.

3. Now that the issue of getting in is covered, I've had multiple experiences with one of my friends playing and they crash before the game. Once they get back online, the server is full and they can't get back on. Once you join, there should be a command block repeatedly running [/whitelist @a], which will whitelist everyone on the server in case of that misfortunate incident.

4. There is also an issue of CONSTANT SPAMMING FOR WHITELISTS. It honestly is so annoying and you'll even miss when the whitelist comes off because you're too busy spamming. There should be a queue AFTER the game starts, where if you don't get in, lions can whitelist their friends OR someone in the queue. To make sure the UHC isn't too overcrowded, you can't get whitelisted after 75 over the fill in queue. This rule, however, shouldn't apply to the lion's friends trying to get whitelisted.

If this doesn't work, I have an idea of a new system for getting people in the UHC. You would have to look at the UHC times and actually have an account and whitelist your username if you are a non-donor. How this would work is donors, youtube, streamers, and famous people in the first wave of people, and the fill of the people who reserved a spot on there. If after a minute the server still isn't full, the server will let other people in next on the list, so on until the game is full. Donors can still get on after this time if they please. This provides the host time to get things set up, and its first come first serve. This will reduce spamming before a UHC so that the chat is cleaner. I do prefer the previous idea better.

If you have any other ideas for the whitelist, want to revise my statements here, or have any other feedback, let me know in the comments. I'd love to see your suggestions and get this problem fixed.

Thanks

idk if this idea would work simply because UHCs are already getting EXTREMELY overfilled at this point at prime time. Some FFAs are hitting up to 600/275 and team games are just as bad. I see this as only making the problem worse imo.
