Add deserter penalties

[Comrade_Sina]

I prefer the timer more.
In some countries the internet connection is not really good, XP and silver penalties make it difficult for many people.

@Winter Storm

why the fuck should i be forced to carry these useless teammates? why should i be punished for wanting to leave matches that has no teammates after my 9-5?

Because if you do, you will offend those with masochistic tendencies.

Kink shaming is a big no no, nowadays.

@CaptainBeel

No, desertions are not the problem and we should stop punishing people for having a life outside an FPS game.

Completely off-topic. One doesn’t preclude the other, and playing video games is part of real life.
Having obligations and prerogatives doesn’t prevent you from finishing a game you’ve started.

@Luvs2spooge

Deserter penalties are never going to work unless they are very strict, like suspension or banning

Source: trust me man

In online FPS, there are a whole bunch of methods that work pretty well, or at least better than nothing.
Some BFs had an interesting system, CoD too, and many games cancel current rewards if you leave the game.

@LokalHero

But I won’t desert. I’ll fight my corner.

Great for you, but why should others?

Already ingame as desertion does not progress BP and event tasks.

[Dregomz]

Instead of penalties they should have rewards for staying. +10% XP for each non deserted match which would cap at +50% XP. Just make sure to show it to the player so they would think again when leaving matches that YOU WILL LOSE BONUS XP WHEN YOU DESERT.

[Conscript_Joe]

Doesn’t work: you already lose xp (max 70% earned), your dailies aren’t counted nor are event xp.

There’s penalties already.

Hopefully by fixing the causes (modes, maps, theaters) it will limit the issue. But there would also need stack balancing and also bot balancing (a team fills spots with bots at the start, not enough vs 10 humans).

I’d like something funny and imaginative instead AFTER AFOREMENTIONED FIXES, and not implemented to satisfy entitled ppl hurt feelings:

• when you walk, your steps sound like clown shoes.
• you constantly hear a silly music the entire match.
• on the minimap, instead of being shown blue to your allies, you’re yellow or pink.

Etc.

I got something better. On top of those, their squad should randomly suicide, like it does occasionally for us, but intentional and just as random. And all their AIs should have only one bullet left whenever they switch to them so they’re stuck reloading. Things like that would make their life more miserable than a xp loss or timed lock out.

And weapon sounds will be like this

Isn’t it magical how the player with name decal’s internet magically fails when they start losing? /s

I feel desertion penalties should be added at the same time as letting us prefer campaigns/maps/modes. For example I do ditch quite a few conquest games since I find conquest really boring.

[Conscript_Joe]

Oh my, Yes!!!

Ahahah that’d be hilarious!
For that to work, other players should be able to hear it when very close.

@sku111

That would be funny too. I’m not sure about the suicide part though, as it would also cost the entire team (tickets)

And elimination of the percentage bonus to income for victory (which I think is extremely toxic concept).

They better give income another boost across the board. And then give only fixed reward for winning, say 1000 silvers.

But primarily the reward should be based on your individual performance. Not have the 50% bonus be determined by rng and how good a team it puts you into.

---

It is then only logical that people desert tough and lost matches. When their efforts and time invested are then not even properly rewarded, as they will always be short of the 50% bonus. Which is really significant.
Even more so in the context of the game letting you pay for a similar bonus in the form of a premium account.

[sku111]

That’s fricken hysterical. It’d definitely make the match more lively, and it’s gotta be louder than the other guns so you know exactly where it comes from.

[Toilet_Paper1]

it doesn’t affect event tasks at all I need to grind out 4k exp and left a losing game and still got the 4k exp ( I had 200% boosters lol )

[Adamnpee]

@Toilet Paper1

it doesn’t affect event tasks

It indeed does not. You just have to wait for battle to end.
Then it will be registred into the progress of your event and BP tasks.

[Toilet_Paper1]

I still gain exp and kill counts towards games ive deserted counting for battle pass and event tasks so im sure thats broken like the hero rewards for silver that they haven’t fixed

[Conscript_Joe]

@Adamnpee

And elimination of the percentage bonus to income for victory (which I think is extremely toxic concept).

100% agreed.

It creates a huge distinction between winners & losers and anger many in losing unfair matchs. These ppl desert instead of saying “oh well” because they have the feeling of “being robbed”.

Without this, with the fixes mentioned up, and with a personal rewards/salary…

There would indeed be no excuse whatsoever to desert (other than life. If your pizza is at the door, you answer.)

@Toilet Paper1

More penalties for leaving battles back to back as in if you leave 2 or more games in a row you wont get any EXP/silver for future x amount of games. lasting around 8 hours

i can get behind cooldown period of not being able to play for next x minutes/hours progressively depending on number of desertions, but this is excessive. overly harsh punishment will lead to players stop playing the game

im not saying to prevent them from starting a new match but when they do leave a few matches and decide to play after 2 desertion they shouldn’t get loot for the game they decided to stay since leaving 2 games weren’t about loot anyways and if they just leave and decided to not play the game there would be a timer of around 8 hours where they still wont receive any loot. ( they play at 1pm leave a few games and come back at 6pm they still have to wait 3 more hours before getting loot or play more games to counter the desertion they had done )

[CaptainSebekel]

At which point did you leave the match(s)?
