At apparently random times, I have been getting a white-text message saying "Someone left the channel [player]" for each player in the match, whenever a summoned monster dies. is this a glitch or is it normal? when ppl are spawning krall etc as meatshields it is annoying and makes potentialy important text get spammed away, especially on later waves. Then I have to go into the chat history...

go into your options, the input menu i beleive, and there is an option to turn off reporting death messages in console, that turns off the monsters dying, and doesnt put it into the chat history

lol rocket ure like that for everyone? I thought you were just trying to p--s me off! note: I also noticed that when players leave it does it for them too, but they leave and join less than summons with 1 life and 1 death.
And wouldn't that mean Taz that I couldn't tell how I died in a spamfest or when anyone else died, because the way the summons work, if I understand correctly, is that they are invisible, that is they don't have a score or appear on the scoreboard or in the player count, but act like players, hence " IS OUT" when a summoned monster dies. I reckon they have a 'channel' like a player (anyone know?), but they don't use it because they are computer-controlled.
Summons don't respawn so when they are spawned they 'Join' which is invisible for some reason, and when they die they 'leave' just like SV bots when another player joins. So like I said above,you get ''Someone' left the channel 'Jon'' and the same for all players. Of course it's the same glitch when players join and leave, which i forgot about earlier, but it shouldn't happen at all... maybe I put the title wrong, but the channel leaving thing is annoying and doesn't really need to be said.

You read the text?
believe it or not some things that happen in the game are meant to happen,
for reasons you may not understand or personally care about, We call them features.
If you have a problem with the design of how the game runs you
might want to contact druids and ask them to change/correct what
you believe to be a fault which it might very well be.
There should be some thought given to the age of the game and time
involved in making changes that don't seam to bother many peeps.
