what's so hard about asking them in-game if your not sure(or didnt check before the game started)?

These things aren't hard at all, and I'm reserved about even calling it a 'problem'. All I'm saying is that it would be nice to see at-a-glance what games are running default settings or not.

whats so hard to give the gamers a tiny little bit of comfort, that is standard in a lot of other games? its just very uncomfortable to be forced to ask for the settings EVERY TIME. assuming the host tells you the truth...

is it that hard to implement? take this for example:, made it in 2minutes:

plenty of space to get the settings there. would it hurt?! i guess not.

as you can see, non-standard (FoW) is written in red to indicate that this is not normal.

the text has to be put in a table, of course, but you should get the idea.

i hope some of the developers will see this or get this passed through to them.

I'm not saying a simple reveal in the chat log when you join, or a small notice saying custom vs default wouldnt be a good idea.  But it seems pointless to whine about other peoples settings when there is, in reality, a safe check system if its changed on you.  They obviously felt that was all that was needed since you can look at the settings yourself. 

And really, as long as you look, its not a problem at all.  And you shouldn't complain about other peoples settings anyway.  If you join someone elses game, you freely give up control to the host on what the settings are.  If you don't like that, host your own games.

Not everybody changes the settings, and after a while you might forget to check 'em and get blindsided one game. Really annoying.

But it would also be good for the host. I've started a game or two and gone, "Oh crap. I forgot I had that setting on custom."

I agree.

Ranking games that have different settings doesn't rank anything at all. The measuring stick needs to be level for all players, otherwise you'll never know who's really the best.

double post, sorry

I played against a guy and im assuming one or two buddies on prison

Game is Fortress

Start gold: High

Creep strength: High

Spawn: High

Tower: High

War Rank: 7

Now i can see the genius of these settings against random players. Randoms who dont know better will find themselves facing forts with trebs at start and immediately lose 2 fortresses. And there after its practically game set match. Lucky me i was with smart teammates and beat them at his own game.

On one hand i was alittle annoyed, but i cant help but admire the guys strategy. Pretty brilliant against guys who dont know better.
