[Suggestion/Idea] Rejoin feature

[Marzie]

Since kicks and crashes happen a lot in this game, and people's internet might not be the best so they get disconnected, I suugest having a rejoin feature to get back into your game. This could be any block/item really and it could do a few things:

1- Upon rejoining the server, and your game that you left is still going, a message in chat will appear saying "Click here to rejoin your previous game!"
2- In the NPC menu when you click tower defence, there could be a button in the top left or right corner that will say "Click to rejoin your previous game!"

If you were never in a game, obviously it won't send you anywhere and will say, "Try joining a game first!"
If your game ended, none of the above options will be applicable and it will say, "Try joining a game first!"

You would not get any prizes if your game ended and you were not there for the end. To prevent people from hopping games, the rejoin feature will only take you to your most latest game.

Previously they made this thread, but they said that when one wants to kill the other, they would disconnect. Maybe in case this is incorporated, emmm. Suppose that in eggwars one that has even the egg can reconnect, but one that does not have it can not.

I would like that to happen, but there are certain things that you may want to fail.

I'd like to see this feature but only on Eggwars, allowing only players with the egg to rejoin and when they rejoin they'll respawn with no items like if they died, also in Towers defence because there is no problem adding this feature on that game, i guess.

I like the idea,but I would suggest to add a time limit to the rejoin,for example if you disconnet you will have only 1 minute to rejoin,if you try to rejoin after 2 minutes you won't be able to get back to your game.Also maybe a limit to to the times that you can rejoin,for example if you get disconected twice the third time you try to rejoin you won't be able to do it.

I thought about having a time limit of 5 minutes to rejoin, but I decided against it for TD. The reason I decided against it is because when you join a new game, you can't go back to your older one and the rejoin button will update to the most previous server you were in, making the timer not have to be there.

Never played egg wars, but if ya think it should be in that game it could be too. You might have to make your own thread on how this works though (again, because I never played it).

Previously they made this thread, but they said that when one wants to kill the other, they would disconnect. Maybe in case this is incorporated, emmm. Suppose that in eggwars one that has even the egg can reconnect, but one that does not have it can not.

This would be called "stat boosting" from the server I mainly play on. It is punishable for a warning/lighter ban first, then a perm ban if done again. Also, read the comment I gave directly above this (I don't play egg wars so you migt have to make your own thread).


Thanks for the feedback/comments nonetheless!

Hey Marzie, fancy seeing you here ;) lmao

In all honesty, I ask myself why this command doesn’t exist way too often. Like... I need a rejoin command, I just time out way too often. Especially on TD where games can last over 30 minutes, and you’d lose all your progress by timing out. Allowing players to rejoin within 3 minutes max would definitely benefit the whole community, especially the laggier players that don’t wanna lose all the work done with towers and troops.
Plus, you can’t really exploit the command in this game mode, as you wouldn’t be running away from someone. I would understand in games like Skywars or Eggwars if the egg was gone, but Tower Defense? Given all the entities you can have at some point, lag is super common for many players, and timing out becomes almost the routine, so why not enabling this option?
