Ever waited for 15+ minutes for an elite server to fill-up, and finally get one match in just to have some jerk who comes in late steal your spot in the 2nd match?? Yeah.. Pretty frustrating and something that should never have been possible in the first place. This is something that should be addressed immediately.

Second, are there no idle kick timers, or is it a server option? Should be something automatic for any sort of ranked or official match.

Third, jumping on top of the poles in Royal matches. Especially when it's down to a 1v1 and the person on the ground, due to the off-zone, can't really get the proper angle to knock them down.. Gives the opponent free shots and doesn't really seem proper in a competitive shooter imo..

Overall, love the game and looking forward to seeing how it progresses.

The idle kick timers is a server option however ladder servers owners must run it on their servers.

Thanks, can you comment on the Elite issue as well?

It won't solve all the cases of "spot stealing" in Elite but I've made one change on this recently.
A player who already secured a spot in the line up and is ready can't have his place stolen by another player. One exception is if the other player is also in the line up, you can exchange place with him. But you can't be thrown out of the line up anymore if you're in ready state.

It's only working in the Elite experimental station for the time being. It will be pushed to the official Elite station once we're sure that it won't create any bugs.

For the poles in Royal it's more a problem with the map and the creators should avoid situations where it's possible to jump on the top of the pole.
