Joining lost game

[Edward umgak hands]

Join a game, after loading screen the game just shows u the DEFEATED screen with the 3 other noobs who blew it. Time wasted, gotta go for that second loading screen now just to get to Mourningstar. FIX THIS. Never again do I want to join a DEFEATED game lobby.

Well in those cases you get some of the resources that the ragequitters collected, so not entirely wasted. Annoyance levels mostly depend on your load times.

skill issue





kidding, that does suck, most likely it's a loading time issue.
When you connected to the game, it was still going, but they managed to all die whilst you were loading.

Yeah once here or there is just annoying. But 1-2 days ago I had like 20-30 minutes in a row with nothing but unskippable defeat screens or joining missions where I started off at 1hp standing in flames or completely surrounded by everything to the point of going down instantly. Each such match gives you two full extra loading screens, rewards you with nothing, forces you to stare at the dumb defeat screen for no reason at all - which ofc they even made unskippable some months back to really rub it in -, while on top of all that adding the insult of forcing you to run all the way back to the mission terminal to try again.

This is seriously getting old, for an issue that should've been fixed in beta tbh. x.x

How do you propose Fatshark fixes the team losing between the moment your queue popped and the moment you finished loading into the map?

Put the game on an ssd?

• When joining an ongoing match for the *first time*, gain a minimum of 50% health (full health on last wound on T5) and 5 seconds of complete immunity and ability to walk through mobs. Any action other than moving or looking around will cancel that immunity.
  
  • Nobody wants to join a game with 1hp remaining due to no fault of their own, they want to play, not alt+tab and watch YT.
    
  • The 5 seconds of immunity is enough to get your bearings and reset your position if you happened to spawn in the middle of a firepit or surrounded by 50 elites.
    
  • Because these bonuses only apply to new joiners, it prevents exploits from people who alt+f4 in the middle of a match. For that matter, they should fix that exploit so the bots and players share the same state: If a player leaves when downed, the bot will likewise be downed in the same spot with the same amount of remaining health. If the player rejoins after the bot died, the player is now dead and has to wait for rescue.
• When a match ends before you joined in, skip the defeat screen entirely and give us a popup notification of what happened along with an option to 1) re-queue for last selected mission (with QP any mission will do), or 2) return to the hub, directly next to the mission board terminal.
  
  • This one is self-explanatory.

It's not hard at all.

i have it on m2 drive, happened to me like 2-3 times in last 2weeks. But nothing groundbreaking., I can live with that.

Blame the people who quit out of a game when they die, leaving an open spot for you to fill.

And yeah I have it on a M2 SSD and the load times are awful.

If you are doing auric storm survivor you count as having died
