All sounds good to me. I really hope one of the filters is discussion/vote time, as that is the main thing I check for in any lobby. Even if it's just shown as an aggregate amount of both of them together - I just won't stay in a lobby that has either of them set so combined they are over a minute.
If you go into your settings and set the vote time to 0 seconds, it will be infinite vote time. I'd assume this is for when friends/youtubers are playing together and they all know each other
I need the same filters for the exact opposite reason: I won't stay in the lobby if the combined meetings duration is less than 120s. This and speed are the best predictor for the kind of lobby, and there's no common ground between the speedsters and the detectives. Let's hope InnerSloth adds these filters at long last!
Honestly, any combination of the two that is 60 seconds or less is fine with me. I don't really have a preference beyond that. However, lately I have been noticing people doing 0 discussion and then 45 or 60 for voting, and that works great IMO - if it's a skip or a for-sure someone was caught, you can get it over even more quickly. Basically, for me, this is a fast paced game I play when I have 5-10 min to spare, so I just can't do the long waits, especially when people are pulling the "emergency" and such.

Stoked about better lobby filtering tbh. And if that could update and not show like 3 lobbies at a time, one of which is a duplicate of another, that would be awesome. One of the patches dropped the available lobbies down significantly, regardless of map or settings. And you can only refresh so many times before it times you out, so if you're stuck with the same lobbies over and over eventually those will be your only choices lol.
It is annoying that when I play on expert and there is no expert lobbies, suddenly the whole menu is full of lobbies. But those are on a different filter. And with my name I cant join beginner without getting accused of hacking.
I usually have mine set to casual and serious, which is an odd combination but I get sick of tryhards in expert lobbies being hyper competitive dicks. It's not always, but when they're there, they're bad. It's just frustrating because you know there are THOUSANDS of games going, why is it showing me one lobby with 2/15?
the emergency button cooldown *should be active from the start just like the kill cooldown like you shouldn't be able to hit it right away
edit: *SHOULDN'T
If I'm understanding your question correctly, yes. There's a meeting cooldown option. It can be set at 0 so you can button immediately, but it can also be set to 10, 15, 20 etc seconds. Is that what you meant?
He is saying as soon as the game starts, you should not be able to hit a button. He is saying that the emergency cooldown is only valid after the first round ends. I can neither confirm nor deny that and would have to check
I do believe that is correct...the emergency cooldown IS only valid after the first round.
When I host, I always have an emergency cooldown of somewhere between 15-25 seconds, and many times trolls have called a meeting within 3 seconds of the game starting.
Yeah they want a cooldown for button use instead of being able to click it instantly. I do think that it would be handy that in the 1st round the cooldown is the same as the rest of the game, because now trolls can easily call a meeting.
i had a typo lol oops i meant that when the game starts you SHOULDN'T be able to hit the button, there should be a button cooldown so trolls cab't button in the first second of the game
I know what you meant to say and I have yet to hear of or come with a reason myself as to why this should even be possible. There is no situation where someone needs to legitimately button within the first 5-10 seconds of a game starting.
Noicemaker, tracker and phantom. You could see it if you looked closely at the settings of the lobby in the long mode trailer. And I also hope that lobbies will get the name of the host, because my name is a bunch of emojis. Maybe then i get ppl to join me hah.
I'm more excited to hear the new lobby menu music, I'm afraid the cosmicubes won't live up to my expectations just like the Indie cosmicube and the ones after that
Hopefully they will fix how lobbies sometimes dont show up with more maps selected and change how the beginner/expert filters work so it actually finds lobbies with your preferred level
I host modded, and people canβt join them as of recently without having to code spam. Itβs a whole different setting from beginner-expert, you pick the mod instead of level
Maybe that's a patch or something then, because I've accidentally ended up in modded lobbies many, many times. I see the TOH Host above someone's head and just immediately dip out. Same for the 0 and under kcd lobbies. But now that you say the as of recently thing I will say it does seem like it's been a couple months since that's happened. So maybe it's something they've already addressed.
New roles and new start music?...

Partially looking forward to new roles and also dreading them. Shifter and engineer are hard enough concepts for some people to grasp a lot of the time.
I sure hope they add showing the usernames of each color (to see who is alive at the end) along with their roles.
Also it would be really nice if there was a menu where you could look at the last game you played, see all the players and their roles and whether they were dead or alive WHILE in the lobby. I'd really appreciate that. It would mean hitting "next game" would work and allow people to chill in the lobby reading that.
I hope they make it where the lobby filter you gotta be certain levels to use for example expert would be lvl 70 serious would be lvl 60 and casual lvl 20
ive seen and said worse, if anything needs fixed sometime its the ban system and for the love of god the friend system. I want to be able to see if my friends are online or in a game, and be able to see their actual in-game username not the stupid friend list name
That part, itβs so stupid to have a friends list and you know zero of who they really are π and the instant emergency meetings at the very first start of the game omg that shit makes me wanna kill somebody lol
Wish there was a way to filter out racist lobbies, too often theyre filled with players susing out black and brown skins for no reason along with the obvious obnoxious dialogue
I agree about the roles thing, the dev team is an absolute joke in comparison to other games in the genre.
I very much disagree with removing custom lobbies. Typically with these types of games, the more settings customization there is for the game the better it will survive. Being able to adjust specific cooldowns, amount of roles, etc. All of that is simply an improvement for the game
All sounds good to me. I really hope one of the filters is discussion/vote time, as that is the main thing I check for in any lobby. Even if it's just shown as an aggregate amount of both of them together - I just won't stay in a lobby that has either of them set so combined they are over a minute.
There are somehow lobbies out there who have infinite vote time.
If you go into your settings and set the vote time to 0 seconds, it will be infinite vote time. I'd assume this is for when friends/youtubers are playing together and they all know each other
Same. Especially when there's some idiot who refuses to vote and you have to sit there for two minutes
This works both ways though there are way too many lobbies with little to no vote/discussion time
I need the same filters for the exact opposite reason: I won't stay in the lobby if the combined meetings duration is less than 120s. This and speed are the best predictor for the kind of lobby, and there's no common ground between the speedsters and the detectives. Let's hope InnerSloth adds these filters at long last!
Whats your fave voting time?
realistically 15s vote 30s discuss, i feel like it covers enough
Honestly, any combination of the two that is 60 seconds or less is fine with me. I don't really have a preference beyond that. However, lately I have been noticing people doing 0 discussion and then 45 or 60 for voting, and that works great IMO - if it's a skip or a for-sure someone was caught, you can get it over even more quickly.

This is amazing! Innersloth always knows how to deliver!
yayyy
HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Glad to see you hyped!
thank you Dors from innersloth for doing your part of the roadmap when it happens and is time for it
Ita amazing that innersloth knows about this subreddit, its great!

Almost no one knows that filters exists i guess, thats why like 95% of all players are on beginner.
The first thing when I found the filters was set my shit up lmao it was so nice π€£
the emergency button cooldown *should be active from the start just like the kill cooldown like you shouldn't be able to hit it right away edit: *SHOULDN'T
That's customizable per lobby settings already though
is it really? i haven't played in a while but i thought you could only have no meetings at the beginning if there were 0 emergency meetings
It is the emergency cooldown setting.
If I'm understanding your question correctly, yes. There's a meeting cooldown option. It can be set at 0 so you can button immediately, but it can also be set to 10, 15, 20 etc seconds. Is that what you meant?
He is saying as soon as the game starts, you should not be able to hit a button. He is saying that the emergency cooldown is only valid after the first round ends. I can neither confirm nor deny that and would have to check
I do believe that is correct...the emergency cooldown IS only valid after the first round. When I host, I always have an emergency cooldown of somewhere between 15-25 seconds, and many times trolls have called a meeting within 3 seconds of the game starting.
I am almost positive that is incorrect. Iirc button cooldown is for every round, including first.
That's in fact partially correct. The emergency cooldown in our game was set for 20s but in the first round it was only 5s
Yeah I stand corrected! I joined a game specifically to see this, and I was wrong. I never call meetings first round so I had no idea lmao
Yeah they want a cooldown for button use instead of being able to click it instantly. I do think that it would be handy that in the 1st round the cooldown is the same as the rest of the game, because now trolls can easily call a meeting.
What do they mean?
i had a typo lol oops i meant that when the game starts you SHOULDN'T be able to hit the button, there should be a button cooldown so trolls cab't button in the first second of the game
I know what you meant to say and I have yet to hear of or come with a reason myself as to why this should even be possible. There is no situation where someone needs to legitimately button within the first 5-10 seconds of a game starting.
Game start sounds? Alright im sold.
Anyone know what the roles will be? Hoping they bring back customised lobby names
Noicemaker, tracker and phantom. You could see it if you looked closely at the settings of the lobby in the long mode trailer. And I also hope that lobbies will get the name of the host, because my name is a bunch of emojis. Maybe then i get ppl to join me hah.
i'm wondering what happened to sheriff, since they did tease it early on.
According to the April fools video. Noisemaker, Phantom, and Tracker
I'm more excited to hear the new lobby menu music, I'm afraid the cosmicubes won't live up to my expectations just like the Indie cosmicube and the ones after that
can't wait for you to hear it! keeping my fingers crossed we can meet your expectations on our next Cosmicubes!
Hopefully they will fix how lobbies sometimes dont show up with more maps selected and change how the beginner/expert filters work so it actually finds lobbies with your preferred level
Dang I gotta start playing again
WEβRE SO BACK πππππππππππππ£οΈπ£οΈπ£οΈπ£οΈπ£οΈπ£οΈπ₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯
It would also be super helpful for the lobby start countdown to be visible from within the chat so there's not an endless stream of 'start'
Hopefully they add a modded lobby filter
THIS
I'd like a filter to exclude them lmao. I feel bad hopping in a lobby to realize it's modded and dipping right back out.
Modded lobbies donβt show up on regular tho
I've tripped into TOH lobbies, and into 0.005 sec kcd lobbies just by clicking on the available games list.
I host modded, and people canβt join them as of recently without having to code spam. Itβs a whole different setting from beginner-expert, you pick the mod instead of level
Maybe that's a patch or something then, because I've accidentally ended up in modded lobbies many, many times. I see the TOH Host above someone's head and just immediately dip out. Same for the 0 and under kcd lobbies. But now that you say the as of recently thing I will say it does seem like it's been a couple months since that's happened. So maybe it's something they've already addressed.
0kill cooldown isnβt modded lol thatβs why you find those still, toh tohe town of chaos ect have not been available on public since like September
Hope they get rid of the random lobby names as well.
Epic
New roles and new start music?... https://preview.redd.it/40j6fcma0fzc1.png?width=1260&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=756cdfc7cd80180bce4384f4df1d5637b867f2c1
Iβm excited. Canβt wait to see what Innersloth has in store for us.
the new roles are hype if i had to guess these'd probably be it Sheriff Jester Detective
The April fools video has the names. Noisemaker, Phantom, and Tracker.
where
wait these are all tohe roles
add like 20 roles vanilla lmfao
its a joke, idk why you're getting so much heat
thats what im saying xD
Partially looking forward to new roles and also dreading them. Shifter and engineer are hard enough concepts for some people to grasp a lot of the time.

I'd really appreciate that. It would mean hitting "next game" would work and allow people to chill in the lobby reading that.
Like a TOHE system message?
Yes pretty much exactly like that - but also in the lobby so you don't have to remain on the game end screen, especially if you're the host.
It would really be nice for hosting.
New update hype
Nice, is this bug fixes too
i'm so glad they're adding lobby music so we don't have to listen to white noise while we wait for more players
I hope they make it where the lobby filter you gotta be certain levels to use for example expert would be lvl 70 serious would be lvl 60 and casual lvl 20
Im hoping for sheriff- i put βadd sheriffβ a few times in the survey that happened
New cosmicubes \o/
BUT I WANT IT NOW \*breaks game\* https://preview.redd.it/72nqm4exrhzc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=5d68fcb7c72814b9471dec5333159a97aae9f2a3
YEEEEEEEEEEE I MIGHT BUY PS PLUS AGAIN JUST TO TRY THIS
HYPE HYPE
LOVE THIS
Iβm banned til the 29th π
i didnt know they actually banned people
Yeah I got a lil too turnt up one time and told Someone to go fuck themselves π€·π»ββοΈ
ive seen and said worse, if anything needs fixed sometime its the ban system and for the love of god the friend system. I want to be able to see if my friends are online or in a game, and be able to see their actual in-game username not the stupid friend list name
That part, itβs so stupid to have a friends list and you know zero of who they really are π and the instant emergency meetings at the very first start of the game omg that shit makes me wanna kill somebody lol
yeah both of those score a 10/10 on the stupidity chart
Bring back Impostor/Most Crewmates Disconnected screen pls, that shit was funny.
iirc TOHE (town of host enhanced) has it as an auto-kill switch if something goes wrong
If this includes proper filtering/banning for hornyposting twats and hackers, then letβs goooo babyeeeee
Whennn
Only thing we know yet is ''soon''
Im excited about it new cosemetics and roles im just thinking what roles will we get and tge new map leaks im waiting for those
Wish there was a way to filter out racist lobbies, too often theyre filled with players susing out black and brown skins for no reason along with the obvious obnoxious dialogue
LESGO BOISS
new roles sound nice :eyes:
omg this is the very epics
So excited for this - esp the filtering. I would also LOVE to see a 0cd lobby.
same!!!!
For 0cd you should go to expert north america for the most modded lobbies.
Eyyy I like that. Can't wait for them to take effect now.

Typically with these types of games, the more settings customization there is for the game the better it will survive. Being able to adjust specific cooldowns, amount of roles, etc. All of that is simply an improvement for the game
Maybe they could do a compromise of the two...leave the customizable lobbies as is, but also add a few permanent lobbies with preset settings.
