Eggwars: Spectating in progress games

[SpookiiBat]

As a recurring problem my team and I have been dealing with recently, I believe that there should be an option to spectate games in progress. Often when one of our teammates gets kicked, weather that's from internet issues, getting kicked for inaccurate reasons, it gets a bit boring waiting in the lobby for your team to finish their game. It would be much better if we could have an option to spectate the game and watch your team slay your (previous) enemies.

I would love to hear everyone's option on this, please comment and vote to let me know what you think!

I agree with this, since i have lagged out mid game and cant even spec my friend in game

+1 good idea

It would cause ghosting. You can just join a game of solo while you wait

Ghosting already happens

this exists in Ffa and assinations however it dosent exist anywhere else due to the high amount of players on cubecraft such a feature would drive the server bankrupt very fast because a spectate game in progress plugin is very costly

I actually love this idea! Just I think if this is added, I think they should make ghosting bannable.... Just my opinion!

I meant that it would be more often.

I agree with this definitely, I normally have to wait so long for my friends to finish off a game that i died in xP

 

[DestructionMaker]

Omg great idea.

I agree, but, they could just disable chat.

I agree, but, they could just disable chat.

But you can't do that in-game. Also, he's playing with friends, why would he turn off his chat

good idea! (but it is a bit stolen from other servers)

No its a staff thing

 

[CommunistCactus]

No its a staff thing

It shouldn't be really, would make it a lot easier for us to report players.

i believe this has already been suggested before im not sure but since its a good one and i would love this in the game ima strongly be with this suggestion and support it as for i think it would be nice to be able to watch my friends while i wait for them to end their game ^^

I personally think that it isn't necessary as a main reason to spectate is ghosting which really takes a toll on the general population, for me this is a rare scenario, if I get killed and kicked (rare) I generally just go and have fun on TNT run while my friend finishes the game! It's a good suggestion but to prevent ghosting I'm going to have to say -1 for me:/

Actually contribute to the conversation and give arguments instead of just a simple "it's a really good idea"
It's considered necroposting which is against the forum rules. Thanks.
