They need to change how track voting works in meetup. Im fairly certain its not working as intended, i have an anecdote to share to show what i mean
Last night i joined a meetup and it was the worst voted Virginia raceway circuit(north i think.) after 10 or so minutes the yellow text box came up that said map voting in progress. The choices were some short silverstone circuit, and spa.
So spa won( nobody voted to stay on track) with about 40% of votes.
I then waited a half hour for it to switch to spa but eventually gave up and went to bed. Then the day after i tried to do meetup and it joined me back to the same server with the same map vote choices. Obviously something is not working but even if it was some changes need to be made.
- Mandatory vote every 20 minutes( as it stands now because maps hardly change, people are just leaving and trying to find a new server.)
- Make it clear a vote is happening, right now the message that map voting is taking place is extremely easy to miss
- If the vote comes back to stay on same track, for the love of god cycle the choices.
- Make the threshold for a map change on the low end, 30-40% of lobby voting should start the vote
So many times i race for a while and a # of people vote but give up because it takes way too long for maps to change. This makes it so the map is stuck for hours on end which is frustrating.
