Stop leaving battles !

[EliteMKD 87]

This is getting anoying people just leave battles like its nothing since the day i started playing this game that hasnt changed im sure many of you will relate on this problem and the worst part of this there is no penalty for them take leage of legends for example if you quit you will get banned for day im not bashing anyone in the <edit:lewd> im just saying what you normal players think about this matter...

[Stahlvormund101 12,039]

You are wrong about the League of Legends punishment.

You will never get banned for leaving a match.

In fact, it has a very similar punishment for leaving like WT. In WT, you suffer Crew lock, in LoL, you suffer artificially increased Queue times increasing with the frequency of your leaves.

You get crew lock where you cant play for a small duration if you leave a battle, if its towards the end and your about to win wellll.... dose it bother you that much ?

Would be a nice addition to WT. Let the rage begin.

I agree... This has been an ongoing issue.  Actually there are two separate issues that spawn from this.

 

Problems:

 

1.  Players leaving the game early because they don't like the map/mode or only brought one vehicle and died in it.

 

2.  A player may disconnect from a game and be penalized with a crew lock upon return.

 

Fixes:  

 

1.  Make it mandatory for a player to have at least 3 vehicles in a lineup before they are able to go into battle.

 

2.  If a player decides to click "return to hangar" at any point in the game while they still have fresh vehicles in their lineup, that player receives a death for each of their vehicles and a 3-5 minute crew lock.  Basically they brought vehicles into a battle and abandoned them so the vehicles died.

 

3.  If all vehicles in a players lineup are dead (excluding backups) then the player may return to hangar without a crew lock.

 

4.  Make the "J" out function exclusive for vehicles parked on the airfield.  This prevents bombers from "J"ing out when an enemy climbs all the way up to them and gets close.  If someone wants a new vehicle they can just crash it into the ground or go exchange it on the airfield with a correct "J" out.

 

This may seem harsh, but lets be honest... it probably only seems harsh if you are the type that bails on matches a lot.

I don't see much point in forcing the use of bombers on a map without targets.

crew lock is not enough the player will leave battles again maybe it would be nice like wargaming did with their desertion system http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/391338-desertionafk-discipline-system-faq/

I have left a game 4 times. Each time I left was because my tank had been shot up, and damaged by my own team mates inside our own original spawn point! As long as these children have a need to machine gun, shoot and damage their own team mates as the battle begins, I will continue to exit the game at that point. Penalty, or no penalty. When I exit, I always hope they lose that battle.

The only reason why there even are  enough people playing this game is purely because it's Free to Play, add more and more restrictions and you will see the numbers drop to a point where this game will be declared death.

 

The people who were whining about players leaving matches and  advocated the horrible crewlock system are single handedly responsible for a considerable amount of players leaving this game.

 

Instead of punishing their playerbase they should look at the reason why people are leaving matches in the first place.

 

Anyone who thinks you can force people to play the way YOU want is a fool and clearly has no experience with the lifeform called Human™

Reasons why people leave:  They get an air domination and loaded their lineup full of bombers.  This is a L2P issue where they are unable to build a correct lineup.  They will need to adjust for this with this system.

 

They bring in a single vehicle, die in it, and leave the game.

 

They don't like the map so they leave the game.

 

They fly out their best plane and die in it really fast, get frustrated, and leave.

 

That sum it up pretty well?

[Stahlvormund101 12,039]

1.Could be adressed by allowing to Queue for game modes.

2.None.

Pretty much yes.

 

I think anyone who plays this game knows the lack of ability to set preferences is the main reason for people to leave matches.

 

Amazing that the creators of this game seem to be unable to grasp this simple concept that's been basically standard in most online games nowadays.

Mr. Stahlvormund101, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

[ohn1zttaM_@psn 876]

Well in ground force battles sometimes after dying once, you must leave if no other vehicle is able to be selected. But what i do really love is when it says i can't spawn in anything else but still gives me a crew lock.

[Stahlvormund101 12,039]

@I_AM_

 

Care to Elaborate why?

[l_AM_GOD 1,959]

"Preferences"

 

Game mode preferences?

 

I think it would be nice for there to be a system where you can select the order of preference for the map types.  Already the air domination rate seems like 1 in 10 games for me, maybe 40% ground strike, 30% assault, and 20% domination.  That's what the ratio feels like to me tbh... But maybe if you could set a preference in the order you would like 

 

A. Ground strike

B. Assault

C. Domination

D. Air Domination

 

Maybe this would up the que time for the players selecting this by a bit but improve the ratio for them.  Leave air domination a possibility but decrease it to 5% even.

Well in ground force battles sometimes after dying once, you must leave if no other vehicle is able to be selected. But what i do really love is when it says i can't spawn in anything else but still gives me a crew lock.

 

True, but this goes back to what I stated at first with basically if there is no available crew remaining then you may return to hangar without penalty.

Not sure what happened the other day, i died, couldn't choose another vehicle and got a crew lock anyway.

[sgtlongbow 1,936]

maybe gaijin should let people field more then 3 tanks and people wouldn't leave,or maybe fix the brs so people in shermans dont face jadgtigers. i could go on and on about the reasons people leave and many of them justified but ill just say is gaijin needs to find a way to keep them playing not make them mad and frustrated and leave.

Oh yes, the system now is messed up.  I'm just saying how it should be lol.

1.Read your post

[io_i_oi 1,016]

Legit reasons to leave the game early:

 

1. to answer the phone/door/mother/father

2. to answer the call of nature

3. to check on dinner in the microwave/get a refreshment/coffee

4. very bad lightning storm coming so you need to shut down

5. wife/GF/(BF?) needs some loving attention

6. because you are FREE to do so

 

I have to admit that I have done 1,2,3, and 4. For 5, I tell the wife to wait until I finish spawning so I can spawn with her.

Maybe from this thread a realistic suggestion can be put forward and or this be moved and title changed  to the suggestions side of the form to be discussed ie an appropriate discipline for continuous abuse of leaving games.. will give cokespray a pm 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bahahaha love number 5 , so true so very very true 

[TinStarShark 433]

instead of suggesting ways to punish people for leaving early, why not ask why they do. What is the reason behind this behavior.

If it is because they don't like the game mode, then allow us to opt out of the game mode.

If it is because they only brought one vehicle. Why did they only bring one vehicle then?

 

I will bring one vehicle in to a match. Why do i do this? simple, I get more RP/h for modification this way. I can play, well not really play, up to around 20 battles per hour, and gain about 800 RP for upgrades per game.

IT is really boring doing this, but better then frustratingly playing an under-performing vehicle for an even longer period of time. It is plainly the fastest way to grind upgrades.

There is a difference from only having one vehicle and the behavior being discussed and  well its more the abuse of leaving games early, if it happens every single game a member plays then a legit reason is kind of a long shot

Exactly this!

If i leave a game its because:

1. i need to do stuff/urgently need to leave my house

2. forgot to add my friend to squad group

 

If not these reasons i play till the end, even if the MM is unfair/annoying players/my favourit tank gets rekt :)

Well part of the behavior being discussed also includes bringing only one vehicle into battle, losing it and the leaving the battle. In your mind is the reason I do this a legitimate one, because to me it is. I want my vehicles to suck for the shortest time possible.
