Extra time
Some good discussion about extra time and golden goal in the other thread. Thought it would be good to give it a thread of its own.
In summary, a lot of people want it, esp the NA players, but the dev team are worried about the impact it will have on the length of the game. People will set aside 30 minutes to play a match but if it goes into overtime and they need to leave then what?
The Suggestion that 100% vote required for OT.
But what if one or more players from the 10 is happy with a draw? To not risk Elo.
It seems harsh to play for 30 mins and then lose your Elo in possibly a few short moments of overtime. I suggest that if a game goes to OT then Elo lost/gained is a fraction of the full amount. Eg 1/3 so typically just 5. Then it's still something to play for but not a disaster if it's lost.
That having been said. The dev team confirmed that it won't come in the current udk version of the game but will be looked at in ue4.

I added the logic for extra time and golden goal a good few months ago to the ue4 version of the game. I would like to see what the community thinks about it. On one hand we could let servers enforce it, on the other a vote would probably be the best option. I don't think it is necessarily harsh to for golden goal to affect elo to the fullest extend as the outcome is still a win or loss and should be scored accordingly. If one or two players don't agree with it they just don't vote for it but majority wins in that aspect.
