Avoid Backfilling Option

[Yoshihito]

We need an option to avoid filling games in progress. I DO NOT want to join a game in progress. Any game in progress I join I immediately leave. We need an option to prevent us from joining a game that was already in progress.

That isn't a win/win, because you can't allow the option at all. Either everyone is subject to it or no one is; no one is going to leave it on given the option, at which point you may as well just turn it off: now anytime anyone leaves your game for any reason, including 10 seconds, 10 minutes in, or right before you are about to win causing you to be subsequently roflstomped, there is no chance of a warm body being put in that spot so you can play. It would roundly destroy the game.

TBh, I say just throw away the "option" and just ditch it entirely and just have a punishment system for people who leave mid match, with it giving worse and worse penalties the more you do it, sort of like the R6 siege reputation system.
Even if it means matches won't get backfilled, I think its better to have a deterrent in place to stop people from leaving in the first place, rather than trying to remedy it with backfilling.

That's not quite what I said and you know it. It seems you lack reading comprehension as well. There is literally no reason not to have it as an option. The majority of players won't care or won't know to look for it if they add it so all those games in progress will get backfilled. And people like me and many others who are interested in this can skip that entirely and just wait for a queue for a fresh game. There is literally no reason not to do it. You can't really come up with any reason other than we should all suffer because you like it or some such nonsense? Yeah, right...

Uh, it isn't?

"That's dumb. I shouldn't have to do it. You're a dumb kid. You're dumb (again)." That's what you said, rofl.

Grow up.

Totally, wholeheartedly agree. I have played ~25 games IN A ROW where I was coming in midway. It's absolutely infuriating.

God you're dumb, it's funny. Thank you for the laugh!

They need to deal with the matchmaking somehow. I haven't started a game from fresh in two days. Every single match is a backfill.

Incentivise stayers, penalise leavers, give backfillers an XP boost and a guarantee of a clean start. Whatever. But it is losing its appeal fast not being able to actually play a round from the beginning.

[vizthex]

it's not that big a deal lmao.

yeah, it's a bit annoying to join a game that's halfway over - but i've been able to help them win a few times and it's nice.

They should restrict late joining when a team has at least 75% of the cash collected before reaching the goal. I joined a game for 30 seconds and it was over.

You might not want to join a game in progress but I sure as hell bet you want people to fill your team when someone quits.

If your going to advocate that you be able to toggle your ability to backfill other teams, then the same option should toggle your teams ability to be back filled (and as a result you should only be able to be queued together with other players that pick this option, as well as not being able to change that option if your not in a lobby)

Nah, I don't care. I just want the ability to disable backfill. Whether someone leaves on my team or not, I don't give a ♥♥♥♥. Those that don't care about the option can fill it. Or not. I literally do not give a ♥♥♥♥.

EVERYTIME i want to join a match without playing with friends.... i'm entering an match already started, most of the time my game already starts in the middle, i'ts not fun, it's just sad.

Would you rather have someone join if one of your teammates drops or just instantly resign to losing? Try to think of it from the perspective of all the people that aren't yourself.

You're gonna lose regardless, I don't care. I don't want to backfill games. I want an option to avoid that ♥♥♥♥. Not hard to understand. If you want to backfill a losing game, go ahead, it wouldn't stop you from doing it. So I have no idea why anyone would care that we have the option if you're just gonna leave it enabled because you like a losing game.

lmfaoo this a stupid ahhh tanke just say u give up on everything if it gets a little difficult. I've won quite a bit of games because of backfills just cuz u give up as soon as someone leaves or u joined a already started game doesn't mean youll lose stupid ahhh mfer

The option can be there, but make it like how Exoprimal handles filling games. There's a minor multiplier if you play with potential backfill and you get it at the end of the game. This can actually be applied to full game exp as well so you may end up with more exp and credits at the end than 1x if you queue'd normally.

That's if you play either PvE or PvP for the last phase, not a backfill option.

Same premise, cuz you know one mode would be void of players even though 90% of it is the exact same game

It isn't the same premise at all, but thanks for playing.
