I have noticed a lot of little-girlymen are unable tor 'ready' before a match. Flex your little baby fingers and man-up.

Most people alt tab after clicking for a match, it can take 3-5 minutes to find something. I don't blame them.

Readying up doesn't do anything until everyone has loaded, anyway, and once everyone has loaded the timer instantly goes to 10s; so you're only really waiting 10s longer than if everyone instantly clicked ready.

your ideas are intriguing to me and I would like to sign up for your newsletter.

It doesn't do anything. And, in MW4:Mercs most automated servers made you wait 2 minutes before dropping.

Not sure how the ladies that play MWO feel about being called, "bro'".

QFT.

The "Ready" button made sense in the first implementation, but after they changed it so the timer goes to 10s when everyone has connected, it is completely superfluous.

They should remove it, since it has no purpose any more.

Yep, once everyone is loaded in that ready button means exactly "nothing".

As long as nobody disco's or fails to join and has 0 ping, the timer will drop as soon as everyone is loaded, clicking the ready button doesn't do anything.

The only time readying up has a purpose... it's for CW and ghost drops.

That's it.

What for?
If everyone successfully connected, the timer is set to 7 seconds, if not, the ready button does nothing.
In the best case scenario, you gain 7 seconds.

[LordNothing]

sometimes i hit it, sometimes i forget. cant remember the last game that kicked off without someone disconnecting or going afk. so i really dont think it matters. frankly the button can go, replace with a short 30 second counter and then launch. another possibility is to only require 2/3 of players to ready up for the game to start so afkers and dcs who probibly wont even show up for the game dont hold everyone else up.

You'd still have to wait 7 seconds!?!!11oneleven


But most people ready up. It is just... their hard disks are crap. I've installed MWO on my SSD, which means I win the ready game most of the time. But my buddy don't have a SSD. Or a fast PC. So he is one of the last who connects and says somethign like "hey nice, everyone is ready already!"


So scrap your mechanical HDDs, folks!

Well it definitely won't speed things up if you never actually do it.

I usually hit it, but this is the truth. There is absolutely no point in standard drops as the counter drops to 10 once everyone loads in.

Ready button... more like placebo button.

press it to ...... i dont know do i get more cbills ? extra armor ? i have no idea because it sure does not do anything else when i mash it. .

besides since when has mwo actually ever had all 23 people working together to make a better gaming experience for you ?

and dont you think that is selfish anyhow ?

i mean really .

your asking 23 other people to do something to enable you to have a better game experience.


when i ask 23 other people to not shoot me do i get that request granted . Hell No, im blasted left right top and bottom rear and front. so again why sould i press some ready button.

me being in the match tells you im ready just like those assults sitting at the start .... still sitting there, ready button pushed...

but still sitting there other 3 lances half way across the map but the assults still sitting there...

then all of a sudden in chat .

ASSULT LANCE: Hey wait up guys .. as always every one leaves the assaults behind. stupid team AHJJJJJKKK DD WW Help !!! artic chhteeeah wwwdddddaaaassssssaddfadadadadahjgkfjkhghjkgjkhblghj;kl;kjl';ljk




yeah so ... that ready button .. its a freaking lie.

[MoonUnitBeta]

There was only one time that we dropped before the 10 second timer. It was a month after they just switched it. I celebrated openly in all chat, but no one seemed to care.
Since then I've never been in a game where everyone was ready before the timer ended.
I've seen an entire team ready be ready, but not everyone.

[Navid A1]

Guys.
I think the OP has his answer now.

Ready button is a lie. Its a derelict from a long forgotten time.

[Thorqemada]

"Ready" is not doing anything as long there be Players still "Connecting".
When all Players have "Connected" the Countdown jumps to 10 seconds (if it was >10s).

Conclusion:
Ready is not worth the click!

[LT. HARDCASE]

THE READY IS A LIE!!!!!

[bad arcade kitty]

pgi should pay 4000 c-bills for pressing 'ready' before n (~20) seconds left
