15 min maps, 30 min pugs

Postby Junkyardboy » Mon Sep 30, 2013 2:04 pm

change time limit from 20mins to 15 minutes for pug purposes.

One of the biggest complaints that I have seen many people make about pugs is how long they take to start and how long it actually can be.

Cutting down to 15mins would cut out 10 mins total of pug time...and if that ain't enough playtime, leave it to both teams to decide if they want to play a TB.

Also the 10 min rule to get in the server is a little outdated and hasn't changed. I think 80% of the players are usually in, clicked in and warming up within 5 mins, it's usually the small 20% that make the 80% wait another 5-7 mins before the pug starts. Can we change up the rule and start enforcing some type of penalty that will prevent it from happening.


Change the rule to be more quicker...clicked in after 7mins. Making everything faster = more pugs = more happy = more fun :D

I remember the days when the 7 minutes rule was actually enforced. Good times.

15 min maps with no ot would be perfect. In and out in 40mins sounds like a good time.

I dont care about winning and losing, its a pug, it means nothing.

you guys don't even care about winning the pug? go play public, there u can spend 10 min or leave whenever you want. overtimes sometimes lead to really nice fights which people seem to enjoy at least from the reactions people have on ts. pugs are running almost all day long and usually people just re-pug after the 1 they played is finished, so cutting the minimum time of maps or cancelling OT doesn't make sense...

^That. Sometimes you are short on time and need your UT fix. Wouldn't be a problem(for me) if more people joined idm/itdm.

Part of the issue is that since everyone expects at least one other person in the pug to click in after 9+ minutes, they themselves don't bother joining the server and clicking in until then. It's a stupid cycle. For months I was always the first one in and clicked less than a minute after teams and server were selected, but it got really old dicking around in warmup for 10 minutes before every pug, so I've since gotten into the habit of getting on teamspeak and pubbing or something until the pug server is nearly full.

In my professional opinion, if you join a pug, you should be good to start it within a couple of minutes of it filling. There's no reason for people to disappear for 10+ minutes after joining. Although I do admit to doing this myself a handful of times over the past few months, but only because of the aforementioned fact that it's expected for everyone else to be slow as molasses.

Personally, I would love a 3 minute rule or maybe even 2, but there will undoubtedly be a lot of wawa until everyone gets used to something like that.

Also, one of the reasons I made GUBER was to automate things like banning people late for pugs. It's easy to implement but I would like to get pugs, utstats, and the forums/site all tied together first.
