Jackpot Stealing Prevention Plan and Big Playermodels

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to add a small window of time where only the last person on a machine can get back on it. About 1 or 2 seconds or so. This way, people cant come in, see the jackpot the machine you’re on has, then absolutely spam their E key to get on the moment you get off. Basically, there’s a 1 or 2 second time frame where only you are able to get on the machine that activates as soon as you leave it, So other people can get on the machine only when you go AFK, or leave, likely for tokens. As for the second half of the title, I’ve seen a player using a car playermodel to block another player’s view on the Dizzy machines, which makes them miss the jackpot, and then they spam the E button and steal the jackpot. This is understandably infuriating, I know you can block Specific playermodels, but making it so bigger playermodels will not appear within the Arcade would make things so much better. I think both of these ideas would greatly increase how much most people enjoy the Arcade, and overall lower the amount of toxicity in the Community.

I think the idea is that the machines are to be shared. Heaps of posters on the walls about sharing machines, not to mention dizzy jackpots build up very quickly and it’s easy to cash them out. On the topic of custom playermodels, if you don’t like them you have the option to turn them off. Settings>Content>Workshop Settings is where you can find that option.

I get that machines are meant to be shared, But lets be real, there are some VERY toxic people in the community that will hog a machine until they die. And I dont want to just turn off Custom playermodels, there are many of them that aren’t a problem and are really cool, but things like the Car playermodels and the house playermodel, those are so big they can completely block somebody’s screen. I’m no Programmer, But I feel like adding a system that either shrinks or removes a playermodel of a certain size or bigger when they enter the Arcade wouldn’t be too much of a hassle.

But the Jackpots shouldn’t be meant to be stolen. Imagine if you were playing a machine in real life, suddenly someone rams into you, knocking you away from the machine and takes it over. That is hardly fun, which I would think fun is the main point of an arcade aside from making money.

I put a post about Jackpot stealers up also and about adding a timer to lock the last player to the machine for a few seconds. All I’ve gotten has been a few who agree, and those who say share machines. As some1 who has played a machine with a jackpot(Whirl-A-Fish and Dizzy) and had multiple people either solo or on large groups come up to the machine I’m playing on and literally steal my jackpot, it’s not fun and very annoying(this has happened to me multiple times). I want to play something like Whirlafish where I can relax and play it with buttons on my mouse and watch a stream on Twitch without paying too much attention to it like a casino machine.
I’m pretty much at that point to where I’m boycotting those 2 machines until there is a timer or something else is done to prevent it.

Yeah, Like… I would totally be fine with handing over a machine, at least a whirl-a-fish machine with a high jackpot if somebody asked in chat for it, but when people just break their E key to get to play, Especially when you know they just want the Jackpot because the other 2 machines next to you are completely open. Its so annoying. But its super satisfying to get the Jackpot after taking the machine back.
