Hello Party Animals Team,
My name is oppenheimer, and I’ve spent around 1400 hours playing Party Animals. I really enjoy the game and especially love playing custom games created by the community.
I would like to suggest a feature improvement regarding the custom game browser.
Current Issue:
When browsing custom games, I can see the list of available rooms, maps, and player counts. However, the ping shown before joining is not accurate or useful. All rooms appear to have similar or unclear ping values, and the actual ping only becomes visible after joining the room.
This creates a problem because:
I cannot determine the connection quality before joining.
If the ping is too high, I have to leave the room and search again.
This process takes time and becomes frustrating when repeated multiple times.
Requested Feature:
Please display an accurate, real-time ping value for each custom game room before joining. This would allow players to:
Choose rooms with good connection quality.
Avoid unnecessary loading and waiting time.
Have a smoother and more efficient experience when joining games.
Why This Matters:
Ping directly affects gameplay experience. Being able to check it beforehand will save time and improve overall user satisfaction, especially for players like me who frequently use custom games.
Thank you for your time and for continuing to improve the game!
