Hello,

Once there were discussions about an 'auto-join Feature'* in the forums and - I am not sure about it anymore - in the 1.5.1. wishlist (that mysteriously vanished :surprised:).
But as far as I can see it has not been implemented, and, altough nobody promised it, this is really sad in my opinion. Is there any possibility of including such a function yet?

* some kind of automatic attemt to join a game, which would make it easier to join long lasting (e.g. coop) games without staring at the screen every second to prevent to be left in the lobby

Joining a game in progress would be very hard to pull off, Myth just wasn't designed to do stuff like that. Though it would be really cool.

Thats not what I actually ment. An auto-join feature is something that lets you click on the game you want to join one time and if you cant join, it tries again every - lets say - 10 seconds and maybe giving an accustic alarm if succeeded, so you dont have to look at your screen every 10 seconds if you are waiting for a game in progress. Just one click, go read something and wait for the bell.

and then everybody uses it for the popular games (2-team ranked, mazz, rotd games,...) and you're just as far as ever,...

at least now you know that ppl who join are actually there and not on the toilet or something

The idea isn't half bad, but at this point we are closed for new features. I do see some potential issues with it, including the afk player joining a game. We will think about adding it to the Special Edition version.
