The future of auric maelstrom for the next 2 months

Amazing gameplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQPnUEyDAMg

lots of penance quitters, then when the auric cycles out of rotation no one can join you anymore so the game ends up looking like this

edit: we need a way for people to queue into mission board games that have already have the timer expire for example if the mission board timer expires no one can join your game anymore

Yeah this has always been an issue and I’m amazed they havent solved it by just putting 2 auric maelstroms in (or more) which everyone wants anyway then adding a quickplay auric maelstrom button. It’s just extra bad now. Some serious game design debt happening and overlapping, they need to fix this stuff up

This is my new experience when someone goes down on a higher level mission.
This wasn’t even something like Auric Maelstrom. Just a 5 Hi.

I only screencapped the last 5 entries. I missed two others who’d left.

Crucially, bear in mind, that this was in the space of 20 (twenty) seconds. And we still had two players up!

I think that Rocket League (“you’re banned from matchmaking for 10 minutes”) thing might come to fruition here, because honestly, players seem to have no concept that when they go down, it was their fault.

Lol yeah so many people left and replace with bots so common now for all 3 people to leave and get replaced by 3 people at the end

In a 4 player coop game, the missions that end up involving a dozen different players are truly something to behold.

Nothing nice, but something.

I don’t think that’s likely. The penance system is designed to increase player engagement by providing goals to work towards. Punishing players for this would be counterproductive, so it’s unlikely the developers would implement such a system.

At least 1 per game in NA servers. This is why the badges have become synonymous with shitters. Let the gameplay do the talking.
