Leaving games is getting out of hand

I think a good solution is to remove penances from auric or create a new difficulty above auric for the insane. I also think this wont remove the bad players or help with the OP of Alt+f4 abusers. And yes it’s usually the chatty ones compensating for their skill ceiling.

On the other hand, its faster for players to get into a new game rather than waiting to be revived so leaving sometimes makes sense. Some respawn locations can be a 10-minute wait.

sometimes you are entertained by good play while waiting for the rescue. and sometimes the rescuers are as quick as a dead cat… but anyway, there’s a civilized way to leave a game, as opposed to the barbaric alt-f4.

agree. It also makes the game easier for those that stay since you get a bot to soak damage which is lame. The leaver could be thinking they are doing the team a favor?

I hope they fix the bots.

Which would you rather have? Three players who (maybe) want to be in the group plus a bot, or 4 players with one getting angrier every minute they are forced to stay in a situation they want out of right now. And I have yet to met any game-related situation where 3 people taking the time to plan & communicate while not overreaching can’t succeed as well as 4 people. Now finding 3 people who do those things is a different story.

There is a reason its considered common sense in HR that if an employee wants to transfer (or just quit) due to a work enviroment that is making them truly angry, you do NOT keep them there. Aside from creating a possible lawsuit and it being a big contributor to the whole active shooter problem, humans in that mental state do not perform at their best.

What are you talking about? I’m explicitly endorsing the whole ragequit thing. I’m just saying that other people shouldn’t have to suffer an empty slot for too long.

If a player wants to leave, fine. But I want a backfill ASAP.

From a pragmatic point of view, why not Instead of a punishment, an incentive instead?

Give a bonus of sorts for consecutive games committed to, without leaving.


On second thought, im sure some modder will just come up with a tool to circumvent this by allowing leaving while keeping bonus…

Everybody who ragequits gets a bonus… good idea. :rofl:

Also thx for the Anti-Mod thing. Makes your point event better. :kissing_heart:

if someone left that means he either botched some stupid penance, got what he needed or is simply not willing to play this match anymore. they wont magically start playing better than bots because you decided to hang the sword of Damocles above their quit button

Don’t enlist in soloqueue if you are a manchild with tantrum problems. Adapt and overcome.

Alternatively, if you want a casual power fantasy joyride, pick the corresponding difficulty.

In other words, have common sense, a lost art nowadays.

I see reading comprehension is hard.
(or If that was an intentional misreading to make a joke, it was really really bad and low effort).

Oh well.

I was joking. Are you so daft?

Nooo don’t punish me for having terrible internet :sob:
I sometimes can’t even play the game because of the issue number 3000~ :pensive:

But, it seems that they are doing something so I can’t rejoin the game:
I remember once I hard crashed from the game and I couldn’t rejoin because F me I guess, so I asked my friend to leave the match so we can play together :melting_face:

I was trying to say that it was problematic before the title too, in my experience. So a change to the way of getting that title or removing it will not help much. This is why I think that some system to punish at lest repeat offenders would be good. At least on maelstrom missions.

I mean, okay but they still cause problems for others and if it is a repeat offense, should be punished, at lest on maelstrom. Sorry but 1 person should not be able to f up 3 other persons game without consequence.

again, they will just compromise the run in some other way to avoid punishment or straight up stay afk until you kick them or the bucket

I’ve been playing event on T5 exclusively for the last week and NOT A SINGLE SOUL have left the match. Literally there was a couple of cases players dropping but they rejoined a couple of minutes later.

On Maelstrom it’s ALT+F4 on the first sight of trouble. This game mode has became a joke.

Yeah, had a mouthy bigoted D-Pad stuck up guy alt-f4 (or whatever it is on xbox) cheeze it with bot after he predictably went down immediately a 2nd time from running off after the first rez. Zealot kniferunners gonna zealotkniferunner .
Cheeze++ because sadly, he rejoined. He was playing with his buddy (who was hogtied) and I’m sure he told him to come back.

I ate a mauler overhead vidcapping it, or trying to, ShadowPlay had turned itself off. Classic. I love that bot cheeze is still a thing.

Maybe, but they will have to do something that is a good cause for a ban and that is okay with me, I will report anyone who deliberately weakens the team.

are we talking dc-ing then returning or just leaving? first is kinda bm second i dont get what the big deal is, either you get someone more motivated to play or they had to use the bathroom really badly. either way youll get someone else.
