Difficulty Range/Limit

[meateor]

To implement a command or pre-match menu item that allows the host to create a lower limit on all player's difficulty.

Command: -lowerlimit normal

All players on either very easy or easy now have their difficulty upgraded to normal

Menu: Very Easy, ... , Very Hard, Refer, Refer (limit)

The next screen would prompt the host to select difficulty to be the lower limit. When players now choose their difficulty, those below the host's limit are disabled.

Yes, "normal or harder" is very much needed imo.

And it shall be done...unless there are objections?

[Karawasa]

Wait...I think I have a better idea. What is the point of the five selections (excluding "Refer")? Should the host even have the option to force everyone on the same difficulty? I propose making this limit thing the default...

Here is how it would work. The refer button would be eliminated. When host selects one of the difficulties, that becomes the minimum. If you want to force VH you just select VH. If you want to allow everything you just select VE. If you want what was proposed in this thread, you just select N.

Thoughts?

Oh, nice Idea.

Seems like a nice way to solve the problem. What if the host wishes to have the difficultly he picks be the maximum though? Is the a scenario where this would be the case?

Make it the default. It would be way better.

Very Hard, but that is by nature of the beast.

[echinodermata]

I guess this system is fair. Host can force a minimum, but each player can choose to make life harder for himself if he wants.

Shouldn't this be moved to implemented? Or you need feedback on this in Beta 3? I think it works great.
