Leaving lost battles

Leaving a battle that you cannot respawn in should not count as abandoning the field. Not everyone wants to sit and watch their team fail hard. Sometimes you get stuck watching someone be a troll in an interceptor run around dodging everyone. If you leave the battle before he finally dies you get no reward just a repair bill…

Sadly on the other hand this would mean that you would get other trolls who jump into regular games or combat recon games, suicide and leave the game right away to reap the reward. If the battle seems like it might continue for a while I suggest the following:

 

a) if your team is still alive and kicking on the whole, offer support by checking the map and indicating dangerous positions/players.

 

b) watch a skilled player in order to improve upon your own gameplay.

 

c) minimize the game and do something else entirely.

Leaving a battle should be granted in scenario battles. I have already been stuck more than 20min because a lone surviving interceptor was trying to down boss alone.

You never know when that will happen though, sure in some situations its completely hopeless, but you cant expect the server to know this. Allowing people to just leave scenario’s will get aggravating when they die, see only a few ppl left with 5+ waves of enemies to go, and then dip out. All the while those 2 remaining people end up winning that, and when everyone respawns your now down 1 person.

 

I’ve seen many situations where it seemed hopeless for a win, but that 1 lone person ended up winning that section.

Best tool to stop rage quitters and trolls from ruining the game, yes I have die early in a match and had to sit there I just tab out and surf the web for alittle till the match is over.

This pretty much. When a game is running, I typically just tab out and do something on the web. For scenario matches though, I think we should have a timer for each round. I don’t know about you guys, but a successful round has never taken me more than 10 minutes to complete.

The reward will only be given to players who stay in battle until the end in order to prevent exploiting/battle jumping for reward.
