yeah I had an almost hour long monstrous a while back, this guy was coming in and out for his title and the normal stuff though. he’d die, go away and then give me a bot for a while which was nice of him I guess.
and then on the other side I QP’d a normal shock gauntlet off the board and there was 16 deaths in 27 minutes, but everybody stayed and some were impressed. nothing really happened most of the game because everybody was dead.
me if I’m dead I will start scrolling through all my dumb voice commands, because they work in respawn and its funny, so I will wait until you pick me up.
That’s clearly the time you need to see if the team is full of players that clearly can’t handle this difficulty.
Playing a mission alone or at 2 is really less fun. Yesterday I had my son watching me… I was checking the scoreboard and see what could happen. i said my son “if i die, it is the end”. He asked me “Why?”
Reason was simple to explain: I was doing 3 times the damages or all other players, was killing 80% of the elite… a monstruosity spawned, I had to kill it alone cause the others were too busy trying to survive. In the first 15 minutes, I have seen one guy falling 4 times…
Guess what happened ? I made a mistake, ended in a net. And all of them died soon after. And yes… they did not even try to free me… cause it would have needed them to be able to manage the difficulty and they were too busy trying to… survive.
When I start a game and see that, if I fall, I leave the mission.
Precision: when I play zealot I can do such damages output with a combat axe, evis etc. Of course not with a dagger. And when I play veteran, I am far from this, especially cause I use (actually) as vet a build AIG MK V + dagger MK IV.
In last month i play so many games with leavers that i change my build, change my way of play to “okay, i can handle myself with almost every situation”.
Im playing totally alone now even if there was another players.
Im not saving peoples now because i kill everyone first, and then go res peoples.
Still cant manage silent netters and mutant throws in a wall of crushers.
They need to vastly reduce the amount of time a slot is locked when players ragequit. You do need a few minutes of delay so that legitimate disconnects can get back in, but the current timer is far too long and having to carry a bot (or worse, multiple bots) through auric or maelstrom can be damn near impossible depending on the map and mutators.
The other option would be to just make the bots not suck but that would take vastly more effort.
Surely you can detect the difference between a quit-out and a crash, then apply a timer accordingly. Say, if you’re able to use the UI to leave mission. I’d rather keep alt-F4 in for the most part, since sometimes the game just haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaangs!
If you quit the game from the escape menu it seems the game considers it the same as alt-f4 or a crash and keeps the spot on the strike team for 5 minutes. Came across that when trying to join in place of a friend when their computer was acting up.
It makes me lol at the rage quitter wimps who shout in all caps that the team sucks just before quitting, simply because they got downed… Then we go on absolutely kill the match in textbook style. Happens so often now.
