This Game Needs Consequences

[Kowlefe]

I know the title sound inflammatory but I am tired of doing content just to have people leave with no consequence. This game has matchmaking to acomodate solo players and groups that are not full yet no way to have people who intentionally leave early punished, it makes no sense. With this new onslaught event, I prefer the longer format mode yet every 10 rounds someone leaves. I get it if they thought it was the shorter format but at the same time, you should have read. Please implement consequences because right now it feels like Im getting a consequence for wanting to play the game.

Are you aware there are 2 playlists? Also, you can always use LFG.

I know, the one on the left is 10 rounds and the one on the right goes to 50, the second to last line literally addresses this.

As for LFG, that is valid but at the same time the same issue will occur and what would be the point of mm? I'm looking to get into games and play them as I don't have much time with life and everything else.

I can't sit and wait for 20-30 minutes to fill when I only have 30 minutes to an hour a day to play. This is the reason MM was created decades ago in the 2000s with Halo 2 so people can play rather than have to wait with what limited time they have.

Also, to my knowledge there are no consequences for leaving LFG early either so the problem still exists.

There's no problem, there's no 30 min wait for LFG. There's never been and will never be any consequences for leaving the activity especially a F2P and it's totally ok. Seems like you're just another disgruntled player expecting everybody to please you.

Where did the unwarranted attack come from? Entirely uncalled for. You don’t know me as a player or my opinions on things aside from the single thing voiced here. If I wanted things catered to me I’d be crying about how much I’ve payed into the game over the last near 15 years over both 1 and 2 and not being able to access half of it due to sunsetting or sparrow racing never returning, yet I know it’s a part of gaming and how they wanted to decrease the file sizes for many players and keeping things fresh.

And many f2p games have consequences for people leaving as it’s more common with minimal “skin” in the game, this is why games like OW and other games have penalties and even player rating so people who do that are matched with one another and actual players who want to play the game aren’t harmed for it. I’ve had numerous times I’ve waited upwards of 30 minutes waiting in the past to the point I have no wish to try their system again with my limited time, and the discord lfg is a fiasco between the finding groups that will play who aren’t kids and have mics as well as the channel not bugging out. Poor experiences led to no using either of those anymore.

These consequences don’t need to be major but making a chronic leaver wait for 10-15 minutes and increasing the amount per instance of leaving is fair for other players.

You already have all the tools.you need to report players you feel are disrupting activities.

You understand you're talking about PvE activity where you shoot mindless AI? Very simple - slay out and you'll be fine. Also, the reward structure is broken - you get loot every 10 waves so continuing after the 10th if you are farming is super inefficient (on legendary at least). If you want to finish triumphs - go find players or post in the fireteam finder. I was able to do 50 waves on legendary with the players I found using it. It took some time, took different players, but in the end we were able to do it. Demanding your perceived "justice" just because YOU think somebody didn't meet your expectations or demands is just silly. Optimize your gameplay and slay out. Good luck!

Wait, you aren't even mad at actual leavers, just people not going as long as you want them to? People should be punished if they can't commit an hour nonstop to a single activity? No, just no. By entering random matchmaking, you agree to being subject to those random people's whims; as long as they aren't playing the game strictly wrong (and they're not), there should be no punishment for having a different viable goal. If you want people to only play how you want, use LFG or your clan, or make some friends, so everyone can agree on what you want to do.
