Entered Game Late

[zoot]

So I was using my BB-1 and I had a 200% RP booster loaded up. When I joined the game, it had already started and we had close to 0 tickets remaining. About a minute after getting in, ther game ended and it used up my 200%. I feel cheated as I had no opportunity to use my booster. I ended up getting 0 score because obviously I barely joined when the game was ending. What do you guys think of this? Should joining a game this late and losing a booster be fair?

Well, if you don't want this to happen, you should uncheck the option to join game in progress.

Well usually the rare times I do join a game in progress, it was started about like 30-60s ago so it's not a big deal. However putting me in a game a minute before it ends is ridiculous is my opinion.

It doesnt happen when you have join game in progress option turned off.

Is it fair? Yes, why? Because Gaijin allows you to remove the option to join in-progress match. If you have that option checked you aknowledge all the conseuences it brings since Gaijin doesn't force you to get into the wasteful match you had.

True, that's a good point, I suppose I will turn off that option now.

report this to the devs since this shouldn't be happening. You should've be entering matches that are about to end. It's possible you were simply unlucky and the team got steamrolled however that still would be too fast.

No one should be entering finishing matches with that ticked to yes.

The problem is the game doesn't really 'know' it's about to finish. These low BR games where you get a bunch of armored vehicles, get a couple attackers from the BB-line, 12x50kg bombs plus mg, reload on bombs 30ish seconds, if you get 2 or 3 guys serious on the ground targets the game last like 5 minutes. Playing at that BR can net me easily 30-40 ground kills.

It might happen as well on higher BR, if a team got some serious bombers, so best is to uncheck join game in progress.

Based on my experience, I usually get in at around 1-2 min of the begining of the game. So it may not know when it finishes but it does know when it starts. We may not know but there could be a cut off point.

There is a cutoff point I suppose, but that's just x time from the start. If you get in 2 minutes late into a low tier game where I'm dedicating myself to ground targets it's almost over ;)
I did have it happen to me sometimes as well, spawn in late, before you actually get anywhere to do anythign the game's over. That's why I don't like that join in progress feature.

Join in progress is most amusing in jet games because the MiGs always rush and if they're unhindered they'll usually get to the enemy airfield before everyone is finished spawning.


Turn off join in progress.
