Request Resync Grace Period, Avoid Losing Everything On D/c

[Cyrosage]

I wasn't clear on my previous post when I suggested "wait for host" but I was referring to the old starcraft like method where if a player lags, the game pauses temporarily to give everyone a chance to sync back up and continue (with the option to boot the lagger and 60 second timer to prevent permanent lock).

 

A brief resync grace period would alleviate the occasional forum posts (not just mine) where someone gets disconnected and loses everything from the match, whether it be blueprints or in my case, losing connection to the host on wave 20 of T3 defense.

 

They've already helped the increasing defense missions, this could seal up the other gaps and benefit the community by keeping matches together when host migration isn't viable (like voids or similar).

 

TL;DR:  "Wait for Resync" pop-up to save your butt when host starts bogging down. Timer and/or boot option to prevent lockout or repeated delays.

A feature that would improve playability for everyone and mitigate the negative effects of host migration and crashes.
