Multiplayer fast forward button

Posts : 124 Join date : 2013-11-10

There's an option to fast forward the game in single player, but that option is not there for cooperative missions. I can understand why one player should not have the power to toggle fast forward for another player who doesn't want the game to be sped up, but if both players want to speed the game up, then why not include such an option?

The fast forward button in multiplayer games could be a button that only functions if everybody clicks on it. If only one player clicks fast forward, then nothing should happen.

Agreed, it would be nice.

Although this could also have performance implications.
Not sure what is going on back-end.

This has been suggested a while ago and Rune liked the idea so I assume it's on some todolist already that isn't public Smile

or it has been forgotten ;D in which case this reminder is a good thing Very Happy

I think we'd all love to see that, specially now that battles feel slower

This would make the game a lot more fun to play... and the coop que would go a lot faster because people don't see coops as slow cp!

I've mentioned it in another topic, but the coop fast forward can be a bit slower than the solo fast forward (it could be like what the fast forward was changed to when Olympus first opened, before it was changed back). This way coops are less boring, but also not so fast that they can give too much reward.

As I don't think Ive heard one person against the idea.

Of course no one is against the idea. It's a great simple way to make coop better.

I am pro such an idea, it would be a great idea to implement into the game.

A step further into this mechanic though:

how would one be able to turn the FF (fastforward) off again? would it need a confirmation to turn it on for the second time for both of the players again?

or would a simple on is on, off is off be ok?

f.e.

player one: turns ff on
player two: turns ff on
game goes FF
player two: toggles ff off
game goes slow again.
playe two: toggles ff on
game goes fast again.

Should we allow the option to toggle FF at all? or should it be a one time devotion?

Probably up to the devs to decide.

I think a once off decision at the start of the game would suffice.

Its not very often you need to turn off FF to catch up. Its barely needed even in suicide.
I cant imagine once two people agree to turning it on, it will ever need to be turned off again later.

There is someone or she/he only pressed the wrong button. Wink
